M3 Strain

    Alright, so today a prof of mine was talking about how his former prof had a hobby of trying to make habanero peppers hotter. Basically what you do is every time you grow a batch of habeneros, you try all the habeneros, and then you only plant the seeds from the most spicy pepper. Then the next batch you grow will all be spicier, and you repeat the process. Basically your breeding your peppers to become more and more spicy. It got me thinkin about weather or not you could do a similar process with pot to breed plants with more THC. I talked to my cousin about it, she says ya can. My friends mom works at the University of Minnesota's landscape arboretum (Great place to go burn one down by the way if your ever in the area). Anyways, long story short, my cousin told me that it turns out, the U of M has the most powerful pot ever grown in the world, and its called M3, I was just curious if anybodys ever heard of it. Obviously its not a strain that you'll find out on the market, but its still pretty amazing.

    Never heard of it, but that's a pretty widely used procedure in horticulture. That's how they breed purple roses and such.

    Interesting...I've been tryin to find more information on it, but I've come up with nothin. Do a lot of growers use this technique?

    A lot of the major seed companies use this when developing new strains... They look for traits based on what type of plants their trying to develop (potency, yield, flowering time, etc.)... If they're going for potency, they'd breed the more potent plants, if they're going for yield they'd use the higher yielding ones, and so on... Low Ryder was developed using such techniques. They took plants with the charastics they wanted (auto-flowering, and a short stature) and bred them over and over until they came up with what they were lookin for.

    Not true. the most powerful pot was confiscated in england. 500 plants taken from a 59 yr. olds house each plant had a thc content of 29% or higher. some of the best bud you or anyone can get no matter what they say is around 20%.

    It works the same with ganja, you pick the best phenotypes of each plant and stabilize them to get a good reliable strain.

    Try running some searches for "Selective Cross-breeding" - as that's the technical term for what you're searching for.
