In this episode of the Cannabis Breeders Network, we host Ted Blair and Reggie Weedman from Canna Country Selections to explore the intriguing process of pheno hunting and the art of growing cannabis. The discussion covers feminized breeding techniques, phenotype selection based on traits like taste and smell, and the importance of the smoking test. The duo delves into the market dynamics, COA's, and the predominance of high-THC strains. They highlight the undervaluation of diverse cannabis types and the benefits of organic, sun-grown cannabis. They offer practical tips for growing in different climates. The episode also introduces new feminized seed drops available through Alpine Seed Group.
