01. Choosing your desired strain

Choosing Your Desired Strain

It's very important to start with good genetics. What are good genetics? You tell us. Do you enjoy that hard hitting, sedative stone that puts you to sleep? Maybe you like the soaring euphoric cerebral qualities that will leave you in a hazed fluster? Or perhaps a little of both?

從好的品種開始是非常重要的。什麼是好的品種?你說呢。你享受強烈的衝擊,鎮靜到讓你睡著的定格嗎?或許你喜歡能帶給你朦朧而興奮的大腦精神愉快、翱翔感?又或許兩種都同時來一點兒?

There are three distinguished variations of the marijuana plant. These three variations include Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis.

大麻有三種比較有名的品種 :Sativa、Indica、Ruderalis。

Cannabis Sativa

Cannabis Sativa is a hard plant to grow indoors due to high lighting requirements, tall stature, and late flowering traits. Sativas come from equatorial regions, thus the necessity for high amounts of lighting and a warmer tropic-subtropic climate. You can identify a Sativa by its long, slender, finger-like leaves. A Sativa will typically produce a euphoric, energetic, cerebral high. Despite the Sativa's climatic limitations, they are truly a reward to obtain, grow, and smoke. A pure Sativa will take 2 to 4 months to finish flowering.

Cannabis Sativa因為它的高需光量、長得又高,以及開花晚的特性而相對較難在室內種植。Sativas來自赤道附近國家,因此需要大量的光和較熱的氣候。你可 以經由又細又長看起來像是手指的葉子來分辨Sativa品種。 Sativa通常會產生精神愉快的、活躍的、腦部的high。撇開Sativa的氣候侷限性,它們真的非常值得去獲取、種植和抽食。一個純種的 Sativa將花去2到4個月完成開花。

Cannabis Indica

Cannabis Indica is a great plant to grow indoors as well as outdoors due to its low lighting requirements and tight inter node spacing, also offering resistance to fungus and pests, early maturation tendencies, and dense flower production. Indica's come from colder climates exhibiting the traits described above by acclimating to the environment from whence they came. Their stout stature and extremely wide leaflets make them easy to identify. An Indica generally produces a hard hitting, tiresome, sedative stone, and will take around 45 to 60 days to finish flowering.

Cannabis Indica則因為它的光需量低和枝節較密,所需空間較少而使它成為一個非常適合種植在室內、外的品種,同時,它對病蟲害有較好的抵抗力;較早熟,也產生更 多更密集的花。Indica來自較冷的氣候,所以它有上述的特性以適應環境。它們穩重的結構和非常寬的葉子使它們容易辨認。Indica通常產生沉重的、擊中 要點的、冗長的、使人鎮靜的定格,而且花上45到60天來完成花期。

Cannabis Ruderalis

Cannabis Ruderalis is not a very good choice for flower production, indoors or out. Despite maintaining a short stature, growing only one to five feet tall, and maturing rather quickly, Ruderalis just doesn't produce the yield or quality one looks for in their flowers. A slight light cycle reduction can trigger a sprout with as little as 2 to 3 leaf sets to flower. Ruderalis spontaneously initiates flowering a few weeks after sprouting, and will not produce decent flowers unless the photoperiod provides around 18 to 19 hours of light. Even then, the yield and quality are less than desirable, incomparable to that of the Sativa or Indica sub-species.

Cannabis Ruderalis不管在室內或室外都不是一個非常好的產花品種 。撇開照顧一個矮小的結構、只長1到5英呎高度,而且早熟,Ruderalis就是不產生所需要的質和量的花。一點點細微的光週期變化都可以觸發它們吐出 小到只有2到3片葉子的花。Ruderalis自發性的在發芽後開始開花,而且不會產生像樣的花,除非光週期持續提供一天18到19小時的光照。即使如 此,所開出來的花的質和量都不及需求,無法和Sativa或Indica品種相比。

Hybrids

You didn't think we'd forget to mention Hybrids, did you? Hybrids can carry the best of both worlds regarding high and growth patterns in their genetic makeup, some will not. A Hybrid has potential to exhibit every good trait one looks for when breeding. A rather common Hybrid is hard hitting, euphoric, energetic, dense, and stout, making that particular hybrid the perfect all around plant for someone looking for that particular high, growing indoors, as well as out. It all comes down to your growing conditions and personal preference.

你該不會以為我們忘了提到混合的品種吧?混種可以帶有兩者基因裡最好的high和生長模式,有些則不會。培育混種時它們有潛力可以展現出人們尋求的非常好 的特性。一個稍微普通的混種同時有著沉重打擊、精神愉快、精力充沛的high及濃密而穩重的花,使得特殊的混種全株都完美,對於那些尋求特定的high的 人來說。室內和室外一樣好種。這全都取決於你的種植環境和個人嗜好。

Obtaining Your Desired Strain

Attempt to find seeds from local gardeners that have been acclimated to the local climate conditions, and carry the best floral characteristics—potency, aroma, flavor, vigorous growth, early maturation, resistance to fungus and pests. Look for seeds that are dark brown or light gray. Some may have dark lines inset into these colors, like tiger stripes. White, small seeds are immature and should not be planted. All of these factors are considered by the seasoned gardener.

試著從當地已經適應水土和氣候而且帶有最好的花的特性:效力、香氣、味道、生氣勃勃、早熟、對病蟲害有抵抗力的園藝者那兒尋求種子。挑那些看起來深棕色或 淡灰色的。有些會有些深色的線條在這些顏色裡,看起來像是老虎的紋路。白色的小的種子是不成熟且不能種植的。綜合以上這些要素都是老練的園藝者會仔細考量 的。

You will benefit enormously by finding a friend to get you started. However, some of us are not fortunate enough to find these "friends" to aid in our seed need, so we go international. Ordering your seeds from an online seedbank becomes ideal in this scenario. Seedbanks are a great place to search for specific breeds you've grown rather fond of, as well.

找到一個朋友來幫助你開始將會對你非常有利。然而我們之中並不是每個人都夠幸運找到這些所謂的「朋友」來幫助我們在種子上的需求,所以我們求助國際。在網路上的種子銀行訂購你的種子變成這個劇本裡的一個理想。種子銀行是尋找特定培育者或你曾種過的品種的好地方。
