Although this sounds like a good idea. Once they start genetically modifying hemp. It's only a matter of time before all cannabis is genetically modified in a way that will change the plant forever. What impact will adding that gene have on the rest of the plant. Our federal government believes we need a 30 year study before we can think about rescheduling cannabis. But, they believe genetically modifying plants have no need of studies to realize the impact they will have in the future. I just think about all the GMO products sold in the produce section that have little to no nutritional value. But, our government allows it because it can keep that product, even though it has little nutritional value on the shelves. JMO
PM resistant plants is as simple a breaking surface tension ...even rain or wind does that - overthinking?
We had rain for 2 days on and off, it finally stopped. I just came in from blowing off the water with my leaf blower. It takes the sag out of the branches and the limbs/buds don't lay directly on each other when I'm done.
I didn't know they were talking about gmo, I just thought it was cross breeding. I guess I better learn seed making.
I just purchased Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulfate to make STS for the strains that are harder to reverse.
I think you're right, they are talking about selective breeding, not GMO. Which reminds me, I've been thinking about that company using GMO to make a cannabis plant that produces water soluble cannabinoids. First, that sounds impossible, CBD and THC are oils, how can they be water soluble? And if there was a water-soluble THC it would be injectable, which opens an interesting can of worms, IMO.
After reading that article again it appears you are both correct. It does sound like they are talking about selective breeding. But, I still wouldn't trust it. As for water soluble cannabinoids. What happens when it rains or the plants transpire.
Yeah, I thought about the rain problem with water-soluble cannabinoids but maybe that's not a flaw, maybe it's a benefit for their business model. It gives them more control since it wouldn't work in an outside environment where the genes could more easily get away from them and fuck us all.
Yeah, it's scary,the control on everything they can. Gotta be ready like timj. Making seeds will be a winter project.
I rely on Silica as part of my nutrient solution. Silica, when taken up by the plant, contributes to thicker cell walls. Plant fungus such as Powdery Mildew must set a spore spike through the cuticle of the leaf in order to proliferate. Thicker cell walls prevent the successful spore spiking. Blue’s Small Shed Grow
