I lived for a bit on a tropical island. I would buy from a rasta that lived in the jungle. And he told me you can make phenos depending on what you feed them. In short I was basically told. If you grow around a mango tree for generations the weed will produce a mango pheno that will continue to produce mango weed for several generations after being removed to another grow medium. Anyone heard this before?
I'm thinking of doing testing. A hydro grow with fruit juice. Seed it and taste the next generation to see if any flavors prevailed through the offspring.
That is how the story goes for the strawberry strain.. but it would take many many many years and many generations of interbreeding to achieve such a goal.
Look at other species of plants and you will get the idea. Potatoes do. Not taste like onions when grown together. Neither do strawberries grown next to blackberries, nor does apples next to mangos.. it would take so many generations of growing next to each other to even resembles it's neighboring fruit. But it is possible but you can not just grow them together for generations. It would be generations upon generations and interbreeding would also have to accure as well to maintain such terpen trait changes..but always worth a try I guess
Not totally disagreeing but I've heard of people having spicy tomatoes after a season of growing together. Did not replicate in the offspring, but I'm wondering if it can be forced in extreme situations or certain flavors. Instead of having a little mango rotting next to the plant, an extreme amount of flavor added to the water... Thanks for the knowledge.
It just seems to me that the chameleon properties of cannabis could be triggered. Those plants you listed are not known for producing terpens of other plants...
Wish my tomatoes would transfer over some of my pepper traits. I grow about 15 different tomatoe strains a year and never had them obtain any characteristics of the other plants. Course they say basil grow within 12 inches will increase taste for both plants (they say yield as well but been proven incorrect). I myself noticed no difference.but yeah as I said.anything is possible in the plant world.i would think many generation and breeding in the same area could change aroma and bouquets of cannabis. Think that is one of the benefits of wild landrace/ heirloom strains.. and terpenes from a mango or orange has the potential to alter another plants traits as much as the cannabis plant. They all have the same terpene trait capabilities. D liomene in oranges or mangos is the same d liomene that is in cannabis etc etc.. but will still take many generations to homogeneous the new traits..that is the reason a landrace is Isa landraces..take time or any of us would just cut the top off a cannabis plant and graft onto a strawberry plant and have us strawberry cannabis. You can graft multiple strains onto one strain and the mother plant used will not dominate the grafted branches so with rhat being said how would the cannabis plant take on traits so fast from another species souly because it is grown in the same environment. When I got Into breeding the first thing I had to learn was genetics,traits and d.n.a... after Learning these things I came to learn just why each plant was the way it was..that would be the best place to start you journey. That is where you will find if and how it can or can not be plausible. Just a thought brother.but I wish the plants I use to grow next to my grapes came out with added anyhromycene (typo)but they showed no purple in them..still does not make it implausible,Samy variables. We're there is a will there is surely a way I assume. If that is what ya want then continue to seal it..it could happen.
Simplest concepts can be so overwhelming for the simple mind. It all goes back to environment. Yes, cannabis grown in different environments produce different phenotypes even with the same genotype. It's pre-high school science, kids. (Think humans and their darker skin tones, compared to cannabis and higher THC) Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I have grown next to many crops with weed..never had any carryover... I grew along side blackberry bushes for many years ...nothing changed and they sure didn't get any blackberry traits...yeehaw
I think it has more to do with terpenoids. Cannabis flowers contain many chemicals called terpenes that are also found in other herbs/spice, fruits, and other flowering plants. Some strains taste or smell like mango because mangos and cannabis both have a terpene called myrcene.Different strains come with different terpene profiles. Didn't mean to smash the idea but I just thought I could help explain the science behind it.
companion planting for pest resistance, resin increase, and terpene increases do work for all plants. you just have to find the right plants. garlic, dill, marigold, stinging nettles, and german chamomile, all help cannabis in some way. garlic and dill are for pest prevention; marigold is for pest prevention/ spider mite trap plant(theylove to eat it, so you can use them to help remove them from the garden). http://forum.grasscity.com/organic-growing/813494-companion-planting-herbs-marijuana.html?hl=companion%20planting Luda! I noticed my tomatoes planted with the basil, the plants smell more like tomato plants than the ones that I don't. what about you?
