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.

Cannabis needs more scientific terms and knowledge and less Bro Science. Thanks Professor!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Agreed! You are clearly in the right place.

[@thomasabraham3107]

You have no idea how much I appreciate these videos, I've seen so many. Your channel has made me a better cultivator in every single way. Thanks professor!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks for sharing, great to know you (and others) appreciate the content!

[@rosaramos9849]

Totally agree..My problem is i can only plant 1 straint at the time..My growspace is outdoors and i also have my honey bees in the back yard..👌👌🐝🐝🐝

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Avoid the term strain, but one plant is better than none.

[@desertgrowthspurt]

Facts!! Thank you for explaining this in an easy to understand way, hopefully many "discussions" will be settled.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks and hard to argue with the facts.

[@reddxiii5931]

Makes a lot of sense. Thanks professor!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are welcome thanks for watching!

[@dawnrobbins5877]

I didn't know that! Thank you! 👍🏼

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Great to know the channel is providing educational content.

[@blazeking5652]

Thank you for your work professor.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are welcome thanks for your continued support.

Maravilloso maestro felicitaciones

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Es por los grandes estudiantes.

[@Dodgerdoes]

Thanks for all the Fact based information you provide!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@FanRamm2]

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!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

If you are not in Afghanistan you are growing an heirloom;-)

[@r3ck17rick7]

nice information as usual 👌

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Nice to know the quality content is consistent.

[@federlor]

Thanks a lot for you work.. No words should be added

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are most welcome.

[@jimd1617]

thank you!!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad you like the content.

[@666MaggotOneLife666]

Thank you for the clarification! :D
I wish I had the opportunity to study this topic more in depth, more openly, without people assuming the worst when I talk about it.. I hate the fact that it's such a taboo subject where I live... :(

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are in good company here!

[@davidanderson8469]

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.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks for sharing!

[@StephenThorburn]

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.

[@michaelcarey9359]

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.

[@mikeinwtby]

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.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

.... Show me the data. In short any impact this may have would be minimal so focus on other aspects that can have a great impact on your plants.

[@StephenThorburn]

@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you. I suspected it would probably be minimal. I'll let you know if I see anything worthy of mention. Still too soon to report anything. I watch all your videos. I always learn something new. Thanks again!

[@OPIXdotWORLD]

great stuff..one question...please...hybrids started in 1951...??? i thought more like 1951BC...by hybrid do u mean "cultivar"...?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

More related to the definition of the term and connected to cultivars.

[@CriticoolHit]

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?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

I like your alternate title;-)
Yes, change the location and the classification would also change.

[@hunggar4659]

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!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

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

[@roadsmusic2]

4:52 👌🏾

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Spread the word!

[@jdawg1835]

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.

[@OPIXdotWORLD]

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

[@michaelcarey9359]

@@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.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Trying to spread the word about the correct science related to cannabis for those that will listen and want to become educated.

[@rotagbhd]

Until a plant has been scientifically identified and properly named, it is not a cultivar.

[@jdawg1835]

A cultivar is a plant variety that has been produced through selective breeding.@@rotagbhd

[@Eclectic-Human]

So if I grow random seeds from unknown sources and they are not native to my area, am I growing heirlooms?

[@gardin9346]

yes but not all heirlooms are equal. mexican swag seeds can be considered an heirloom seeds even tho its garbage to start with.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

In short... yes.

[@Ian-jw1lr]

So 6 of 1 n half a dozen of the other!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Not exactly....

[@stonerstevesstudio]

Ya landrace is the same as harloom but for cannabis. They are the og of strains. That's my understanding anyways

[@mikeinwtby]

Not necessarily. Landrace could be bunk but the magic happens when you hybridize with others. It's all about proper selection

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Landrace = original plant, original location
Heirloom = original plant different location

[@Ian-jw1lr]

That just sounds silly, just because of location on the same thing🤔

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Just like real estate it is all about... location, location, location;-)
