Derek and Swami together are amazing. I just love Derek’s curiosity, it’s infectious. I also love the direction this channel brings to the table. Showing there’s so much more than the generational stereotypes. I enjoyed the Terrior lesson as well.

Very interesting topic, and will instantly always remind me of Frenchy. Terroir & Appellation maps must be documented now, i loved hearing Swami, Kevin and Frenchy talk about this idea over the last few years... This is something lots of people would pay to see.

Great video Derek i must say i just recently found your videos and you are an absolute god send!! im also a new grower and ive learned a soooooo much from your vids and just wanted to say ty for your effort!! KEEP THE KNOWLEGE FLOWIN!!
@cosmicengineer Great because I think indoor growing is an art form thank you for responding definitely will do my research now I have a starting point……..
Maui Wowie is grown in Hāna on Maui where I live. I dont consider that to be an inferior plant, nor do I think its a mediocre strain. Can someone explain that? Its grown at sea level or just a couple hundred feet from the ocean. Thank you
They're essentially talking about establishing a certification process for new landraces. High quality cannabis can be grown anywhere a particular cultivar has been adapted to its local conditions, as long as the grower is sensitive to the plants' particular needs. Many of them are happier high in the mountains because that's where their ancestors came from. California has some of the best on the market today because they've been able to do this freely for a long time, but cannabis isn't is finicky as grapes so as other states open up and it's allowed to flourish in different climates then over time we'll be seeing more top shelf varieties coming out of many different places. You can grow Maui Wowie all over the world, but the best will always come from Hawaii (if you can find any of the original genetics, that is.) That's where terroir and appellations come in. This part is really about point of origin rather than quality. If you start growing pure Maui Wowie in Bell Springs, for example, you can eventually breed an outstanding variety, but it will be better suited for a higher elevation, different humidity levels, etc. By the time you develop a really amazing smoke it's no longer truly Maui Wowie (and shouldn't be called such) even though it's technically of the same lineage, and it probably won't do very well if you bring it back to Hāna. Keep in mind that the definition of quality is subjective, so what pleases one set of judges (who naturally tend to favor their own cannabis, sometimes to the point of snobbery) may be a completely different morphology, terpene profile, etc. than what becomes popular in another region (where the people likewise become accustomed to the products available in their own environment.) Consider the Icelandic love of fermented fish which may be revolting to other cultures - we might disagree on the evaluation, but that doesn't mean one of us is wrong. And what's at the trendy peak today could be ranked lower tomorrow. If you want your own unique label, throw a wide selection of seeds out the window, wait fifty years and then pick the best of whatever survived. Then you can _start_ cultivating for that abstract "perfection". There are an awful lot of arcane agricultural tips and tricks to help you produce really good cannabis, but we have to remember that context is what matters most and the herb has billions of years of evolutionary wisdom to help it find its way. Sometimes all it needs to grow into its potential is simply to be left alone so Mother Nature can work her magic without being throttled by the controlling hubris of man. If you want to grow the best ganja then you need to be its servant, not its master. If that can be done in Mendocino County, it can be done almost anywhere.
You can grow quality cannabis anywhere on this planet. It was disappointing to hear him say otherwise. Obviously there will be differing levels of quality but you can create quality anywhere. Hell, I create quality in a 25 square foot tent LOL
You bet your a$$ a really crafty “indoor” grower can dial in all those same perimeters and create some incredible boutique world class pot! That’s not even an argumentative issue. And you don’t have to worry about rats and pigs eat your crop either…
Was the good buddy that was growing in two different elevations growing both indoors? Will a plant grown indoors, in a fixed environment, grow differently at different altitudes?
Teroir nice but in the Netherlands there is still to much suppression to grow really outside and have the strains suitable for our cold and wet autumn, but it's possible
@Rad Ripley "hortaculture" with an a? How would someone know what sinapinic acid is but not know how to spell. Ghost rider is not wrong in his comment and the last part was a joke. Trichomes are produced for many reasons by the plant, mostly for bug protection but they also change the micro climate of the area, think of it like the hair on your arm but with bug spray coated to them. Which is why we use silica to not only increase cell wall thickness but to produce protective trichomes. Also, you're not embarrassing. You're just unable to see clearly cause your head is up your ass.
@@thresh0014 The plant produces thc for no other reason than for human consumption. Humans trained it for that. Ganja salve is excellent for sunburns too.
@@thresh0014 THC doesn't protect against bugs. There are very high thc strains that are heavily prone to infestation. High Cbd strains tend to be more resistant to bugs due to higher bitterness.

It's simple they moved the growing to the mountains to hide from law enforcement nothing to do with it's better to grow their I don't usually comment on stuff but the only place in the US where cannabis grows wild is in the Midwest soil sun and wind is at its optimum here for cannabis in the Himalayas in South Africa they moved the Cannabis to the mountains to keep away from the helicopters from spraying btw u have to use the lands soil to be eligible for these programs and U-Haul that stuff in and mix it lol smh
Reminds me of when I went to Jamaica and everyone said how amazing their weed was. It was crap, total crap. My first indoor grow was light years ahead of their garbage. I told the guy selling it to me it was trash and showed him photos of what good weed looked like that I myself grew. People don’t know any better and buy into this elitist garbo.
@@thomassiegfried5409 take a look at the first few years of any cannabis cup in Jamaica. They brought the best they had to offer, it was weak garbage.

More altitude is mostly indica dominant and sativa is more lower altitude……
I always thought that as well. The leaf shapes really show that also!
Following what other trees do with leaf shapes and their natural locations.
as always great Stuff !!🔥
Thanks 🔥
VEry interesting ! :) thanks !
Are the full videos available to watch?
Great stuff here.
is this topic on elevation on quality only for outdoor?. or does this apply to indoor as well?
Terroir is just "territory" in French...
Can indoor growers have terroir
@cosmicengineer Great because I think indoor growing is an art form thank you for responding definitely will do my research now I have a starting point……..
The real reason it's always in the mountains is because people have been trying to hide it 😆
Well, not always, cos it is forbidden just in last 100 yrs. Plus, the temperature is just right in mountains.
True but in the mountains you have a different mineral levels
@@tompanoname3579 and light exposure is stronger in higher heights 😉☀️🔥💚

The elevation difference makes me wonder if it’s explained by THC being protective against UV rays, thus we are just learning the pre-existing biology
