Strains vs Strains - which one?

@papaT, I love weed too lol and I'm a terpene guy too. Just wonder now if genetically hybrids have better terpenes inherently and thus can make them more potent with further hybrid breeding?

Also @growCN, that's about what I gather from the differences in structure and all. I guess It's more of a "I wonder if people prefer sativas for the stretch in flower or I like growing indicas because they seem to bounce back faster from training etc. " but yes it's becoming more mixed and true hybrids will probably end up being the most normal thing in dispo's.

@growCN, I know some seedbanks have a landrace category that may be worth checking or if you are a seedbank skeptical I guess there's exchanges or strain hunting.

In N. America where marijuana is legal the terms sativa & indica are meaning less and less. Many brands and stores list the specific terpenes and their ratio to determine the affect a strain might have. Almost all still label their products sativa, indica or hybrid but that definition means a lot less than it did a few years ago. When it comes to growing I think the sativa vs indica naming is more helpful. If you get a 100% sativa strain you need to prepare for a different sized plant than a hybrid or indica. I think most home growers do not grow pure sativa's indoors, or not many do because of their height. And with so many wonderful hybrids and new strains you can get something with the same affect that can fit inside a average grow tent. What I personally like: Right now I'm on a landrace kick. I am trying every old school landrace strain I can find. These are the older, less hybridized strains from which many modern strains evolved. Some of my recent likes are Durban Poison and Acapulco Gold and I am currently in search of Maui Wowie. So much weed... so little time...

As a growers I grow what I feel I’m going to enjoy. I go for terpene flavours that will appeal to me. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a grow with the angle of “ I have to grow indica or sativa”. I also try to pick something that I can’t find on the market. As a smoker I personally don’t discriminate. Though I probably do prefer Sativas over indicas. But I also choose a type of weed for the situation. If I want couch lock night time smoke I’ll go indica. If I want upbeat get stuff done I’ll smoke some sativa. Hybrid is just kind of a moot point. Hybrids are cool. Hybrids are becoming more and more prevalent as breeders create new strains and with legalization happening around the globe the choice of strains in a few years is going to be insane. But again this is all personal preference. The thing to also consider is that different terpenes and cannabinoids react differently with our DNA. So I might say hey this Pineapple Skunk is amazing and I love it. You may try it and not like it at all. I just love weed 🤙
