  1. Hey Peter – I super appreciate everything you guys do with FCP! Any chance you can post in the description or comments who the speakers are and what their social handles are? I know a few but curious about others. Thanks!

  2. All cannabis smells beautiful when done well, flavor and pheno expression is truly environmentally based to a big part but with genetic triggers within the plant turned to environments from past breeding if that makes sense to ppl.

  3. 4 hours??? Jesus christ. THE HIGH, the flavor, nug structure. Those are about your top 3 and all that really matters. Color is a distant 4th because the market also wants that. Trichome cover, ease of trimming, and so on are other traits but no one is looking at those really.

  4. I look for, broadleaf structure or Narrowleaf structure, Growth speed , resilience, stress testing at day 20 and day 50, overwater, underwater, topping testing ( some plants hate being topped),
    And finally, some strains require more nutrients than others.

  5. on the topic of whole genome doubling, i have put a few hundred seeds through the process of a colchicine soak stagnation over 24 hrs , I had some pop up 4 interesting ones, one had extra branches and produced a few more ounces than it's sisters, one had a flat wide stem with lots of ridges it had so many branches it was like a broom, almost no strength no terpenes or trichomes, one didn't have a tip and it died, one stunted with crinkle leafs, I kept the one with the branches it was strong like the GG it came from with no flavor : / I grew it out for a few years, it was a lot of fun doing the experiment, it was from a study on feverfew,the introduction of Tetraploidy HORTSCIENCE 45(1):16–21. 2010. , everyone should try then we have more chances of creating something, it's all about the numbers.
