    How do you figure the middest mids part? Due to their size?

      If I were to guess, probably because they’d be left to their own devices rather than carefully managed for higher THC content and flavour profile.

      Could be good ol’ fashioned landrace Hindu Kush, though (which would still be mids, but I’d smoke it) - why do you think that’s what the strain’s called?

      Edit: The Hindu Kush is not part of the Himalayas. This comment will remain as is, as a reminder to read stuff carefully.

        I love pointing this out to folks who think produce is 100% natural and that GMOs are the devil. Like bruh do you think strawberries evolved to be giant sweet and awesome tasting on their own?

        Wild strawberries are tiny and sour because it doesn’t make any sense for a wild plant to put so much energy into growing ginormous berries.

        Just cuz we don’t know what genes were selected for by breeding the plants with giant fruit together to make plants any less modified by us. They would never survive without us, we’ve modified them too much.

        That said, the shit where they’re inserting whole sequences of dna from other plants and animals is a bit sketchy.

          I mean, it’s not like people are just tossing in sequences of DNA willy nilly and selling it at Walmart, tho. I see nothing inherently wrong with crispr GMO crops, so long as we know how the transplanted DNA affects the plant in detail.

        Hindu Kush

        That’s a different mountain range entirely.

          I read that Wikipedia article 100% incorrectly, missed the ‘west of the’ before Himalayas. Legitimately, thanks!

      Also if there’s mixed gender they will pollinate and not produce as much quality buds.
