Asked to introduce myself so here goes. I’m not real old, but I’m old enough to have my first visit to the Greenhouse be in 1995. Grew for a long time (US) and then took a break. Back at it now and ended up here because I have standards. At this point in life I’m mostly interested in landraces and sativas. I’m also intrigued by autoflower and have run a few indoors and out. Starting a self-designed masters program this fall that I hope will produce a usable cannabis curriculum for university students. And one that addresses the whole plant and history. 
 

I spent some years in commercial (non-cannabis horticulture) and my current day job is Industrial Hygiene (occupational health for Europeans). Because of that I’ve got knowledge in indoor air quality, measurement, control, ventilation and similar. Happy to share that knowledge. I do some consulting in the legal cannabis sector and can’t say I like the big commercial grows or their products. 
 

Finally, an anecdote from sitting at the bar in the Greenhouse back in the day. Talking to the budtender who asked where I was from (MI) and we chatted because I was living in west Michigan with its large Dutch population. The tender told me that as the Netherlands got more and more liberal/libertarian on social issues after WWII, the super religious and conservative left for Michigan. He apologized on behalf of his country and it’s made me chuckle every time I deal with a west Michigan Dutch person being an asshole. And as an American I know the feeling of having to apologize for my nation’s assholes.

Thanks! I’ve got some (probably modern) Durban Poison going now. I have some Malawi/NL auto and Zmedelica auto on the way for my little cab. Building out a second, larger space and think I’ll start with Bangi Haze there. (Obviously an Ace Seeds order on the way.) Intrigued by autoflower but haven’t gotten any through that I’m really happy with. Always interested in recs.

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
