so i hear that some strains are bred with ruderalis for auto flowering..

does that affect the quality of the bud... cuz i thought ruderalis was used for industrial hemp.

From what I understand Ruderalis varieties are the short and stout step/prairie version of some of the Mid-East, Afghan varieties that established themselves and were cultivated in regions with harsh continental weather and extreme temperatures, Southwest Russia, Ukraine, and Eastern Europe, a real hardy true land race, so tough, fighting off wind and the elements is no problem, they mature by age and not by light triggers, they've always had short seasons so they need to flower quickly, I know nothing about potency though, I am very curious to obtain a Ruderalis strain just to see how she does, wanted to try them in a prairie setting to see how they do with the local flora, I'm sure there is a lot a schwag of this landrace bet I bet whoever did the crosses picked the most dank specimens.... It would be cool to start a Ruderalis thread for the winter

If I'm not mistaken, lowrider is an example of this. It will go from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks and has decent potency. I'm sure there are others I'm not familiar with and more will come out in the future as gardeners make new strains or just have accidents.
