Additionally, the session explores the rise of first-time home growers, the creation of genetic banks, and the history of seed bank collecting. Legacy strains, their fit with current potency demands, and the intricacies of importing from North America are also examined. Addressing issues such as theft, licensing, and import/export limitations, this session offers a succinct insight into cannabis genetics for those eager to understand this evolving sector.
