Landrace or Heirlooms What Should be Used with Cannabis
Landrace or Heirlooms What Should be Used with Cannabis?
Professor DeBacco
Properly Naming PlantsLandrace
Landraces of crops are most closely aligned with heirlooms, being that they are naturally occurring.
They are indigenous to a certain region and developed their characteristics in response to the growing conditions of that area.
Landrace plant species are relatively rare because many have been supplanted with bred crops and have died out due to changing climate and human intervention.
Properly Naming PlantsHeirlooms
Heirlooms are open-pollinated plants that have been passed down from generation to generation.
They are living artifacts and living history exhibits.
Considered a reservoir of genetic diversity.
Open-pollinated cultivars mean that plants grown from seed will be true to type and will resemble the plant from which it comes.
Some plants, however, can cross-pollinate and therefore careful practices must prevent cross-pollination to maintain those varieties.
Heirloom Classification
There is some confusion as to how old a variety must be to be classified as an heirloom.
Some believe that any variety grown before 1951, when the first hybrids became available, is an heirloom.
However, many heirlooms are 100-150 years old or much older.
In regards to vegetables- Seed-saving gardeners have kept heirloom varieties alive, as has the Seed Saver’s Exchange in Decorah, Iowa.
Properly Naming PlantsHybrids
A hybrid is the result of pollinating one specific variety of a class of plants with the pollen of another genetically different variety of that class.
While a hybrid can occur by chance, within the seed industry hybrids are the result of the cross breeding of carefully chosen "parent" plants that produce "offspring" (seeds) that will have special characteristics.
By controlling the pollination process, this results in the offspring having genetic characteristics from both parents.
The offspring (seed) of this cross is called an F1 hybrid (F1 stands for "first filial").
The seeds from this cross will produce plants that are very uniform in plant habit, and carry a combination of traits from the parent plants.
Landrace vs Heirlooms
Landraces are wild cannabis strains that grow throughout the world free of contact with humans, so they retain their genetics and characteristics specific to that environment.
Heirlooms are landraces grown in a non-native environment.
Heirloom strains have not been genetically crossed or pollinated in a specific way, but have been brought from their place of origin and cultivated by humans in a new environment
Why Heirloom Needs To Be Used More
If you are growing a plant outside of the Postulated Domestication Area you are growing an Heirloom (or hybrid) and not a landrace.
It is only a landrace if it is being grown in its native geographic location.
Landrace Seeds Misconception
While growers want to have an original Landrace variety, if you are growing it out of the native area you are now growing an heirloom.
Landrace requires both the seed (or clone) and the location.
Heirloom just needs the seed or clone.

Good info, professor. I'm growing hindu kush(100% landrace strain or heirloom I think) and Afghani landrace(heirloom) right now and about a month ago I'm harvest my first seeds of hybrid: runtz muffin x Afghani landrace(heirloom) . Really interesting to show new hybrid potencial!

I grew some Afghani "Landrace" courtesy of I Love to Grow Marijuana. I now realize they are heirlooms. These were auto's grown in a Southern California coastal region with plenty of sun. They frosted up nice but the kick's not there. I'll just do photo periods next year with one in the ground.

Alternate Title: "Stop referring to your weed incorrectly part 2." (jokes aside thank you for more knowledge. Really like your videos) EDIT: Just removing a landrace plant from its native region is enough to move into the heirloom category? Wouldn't its offspring just be open pollenated 'conventional' generations? Wouldn't it take further harvesting and genetic selection to make it "heirloom" or is all of this nonsense?

I like your alternate title;-) Yes, change the location and the classification would also change.
Do the supports in a grow tent create a Faraday Cage? Is this good or bad for your plants. Will 'copper wire' electro-culture work in such a Faraday Cage? What are your thoughts on indoor vs outdoor gardening using the copper wire electro-culture technique? The 'copper-wire' technique is a hardwood dowel with copper wire loosely coiled around it and placed halfway in the soil like an antennae. Thank you for all your very useful information I have gained from watching your videos.

Doesn't a Faraday cage require a near-hermetic "box"? However, I read this question and realize that "tin foil hats" are supposed to act as Faraday cages. 'Nuff said.

I don't believe in the witchcraft stuff but copper wire grounding might actually have an effect because plants do have ion exchanges. More research needed.

Great Video~!! Question: Can clones down the lineage change their phoenotype slightly from the original? I have an Afghan where it seems to have split, one looking the same as the mother and the others have a lime green accent and the leaves are longer, pointer, sharper like a sativa while the other is def large Afghan indica leaf....The lime green version is taller and just side by side look different... This is prob the 7th-8th cloning generation from the original. There def is no nutrient/light issues, very health and stable. I flowered twice side by side, although roughly the same outcome, the lime green version stacks like a Kush. Ideas? Thanks!

Phenotype can change, but the genes remains the same. The age and environment can impact the gene expression, just as a heads-up.

More related to the definition of the term and connected to cultivars.
So if I grow random seeds from unknown sources and they are not native to my area, am I growing heirlooms?

Good morning, professor! Thanks for dropping the knowledge bombs on us. This one is similar to the term "strain" being used instead of "cultivar". This is another one that I would like to see disappear from cannabis culture.

indeed... and a strain can be a genus or a species too...in theory

@@OPIXdotWORLD No,not even in theory. Imagination, yes. A strain is a part of a species, while a species is a part of a genus. Sure, a strain could be a genus, but it would be the ONLY example of a species, which would be the only member of that genus. At the present time, no strain of cannabis can possibly be a genus, let alone a species.
