That’s bad. In a conversation you can usually try to cover it up with a coughing fit or quickly blurt out some random thingI did that last week when I was leaving a voice mail!
Minding our Pees and Queues
A few idle thoughts on taxonomy. Words about words in other words.
As cannabis cultivation comes out of the closet, as it were, and we join the growing number of gardeners around the world we see that they are using certain terms to mean specific things.
A cultivar, for example is a plant grown from a clone. I have a tent full of cultivars. We use this word to mean strain. It doesn’t.
We could also improve things by losing the word strain when we are actually talking about a variety. If you’ve popped a couple seeds of a variety you love then good on you!
People who communicate better than we do are starting to remind us that the word strain refers to bacteria and viruses, not plants.
It won’t be for much longer that we can say ‘oh, but that’s not the sense of the word I’m meaning’. Words already have meanings. We have been taught and/or learned somehow some of the incorrect terms. As the relative newcomers to the scene I believe it behooves* us to look around and start to get a few things right.
*even non-donkeys.
Bracts is a good example of our adoption of the correct terminology. Bracts being what we used to call calyxes.
These ruminations, for those with the stomach for it, follow a post @syenite made about cannabis taxonomy.
To bumper-sticker that here, when describing a cannabis variety the words indica and sativa have become (not just the nonsense* they always were) irrelevant.
For the sake of the precision that clear and effective communication can deliver, we are collectively beginning to refer to varieties as tropical or sub tropical/low or high latitude, high or low altitude, broad leafed or thin leafed, drug or non-drug varieties. This really is a good thing.
*the word indica means ‘from India’.
a). Mostly, the plants we think of as indica are actually afghanica.
b). Cannabis from India, being equatorial, ie. low latitude, is mostly what we have thought of as sativa.
The word sativa is derived from roots meaning useful. This is a useful plant. This is hemp, actually.
These are some thoughts to mull with your next one.
Haha. Shed got there first (amazing, right!?)DDA because it makes you happy
BH for your pain - you’ve nearly run out!
I can’t decide what to smoke!
Growing our beloved cannabis is all about consuming it eventually, right? So it’s an on-topic grow journal thing that I trim to you all with my Saturday morning dilemma;
I can’t decide what to smoke!
...kind of not even funny, I think it’s related to some kind of stress condition I’m in, where decisions are just too much for me today!
here are the options and I’ll be happy for anyone online right now to pick something for me!

Panama
Durban poison
Bubba hash
Auto pounder
Strawberry cheesecake
Dark devil auto

You know how I do! And the following is also true...was going to vote for the Bubba Hash because I know how much you love it.
I have, remaining, 2 fat bubba hash nugs and some nuggety remnants of various sizes in the bottom of the jar.for your pain - you’ve nearly run out!
I did, too.I’ll sleep well knowing that is taken care of
That’s promising. I’m yet to try anything with cookies, knowingly, and I keep getting curious. And I can’t remember what in my collection has it in there. Except a gifted seed from 3 years ago - Xmas cookies, which I don’t know much about. I think it’s Exotic genetics. So many desires so little grow capacity.hits the spot with me the way hash tends to do
