In other words would I sell my soul to the devil?? Not a chance in hell.
I see your point but I disagree to some extent, like a brewmaster or chef the seasoned grower/breeder is going to be a better fit then one who has no practical experience. I can agree that there are aspects to the trade that almost anyone can do but it does take on hand real life experience with the plant to fully understand what type of product the public is going to want and or need...you won't find that in a text book on botany.
I always find it odd that with all the talk about quality there is no real lab analysis that set standards such as THC content etc. So when you figure it out let us know. Judging how good one particular bud is compared to another vary quit a bite between the people smoking it. Everyone makes out growing marijuana as some sort of secret black art passed down thru generations. If you grew up in the suburbs with a video game controller in your hands growing may seem like a big deal seeing that the only thing you know is the grass gets long each week and the old man bitches until you cut it and if you forget to water the house plants while mom and dad are on vacation they die. On the other hand if you were raised growing corn, soybeans and hay then you have a pretty good handle on how to bring out the best that the particular genetics have to offer. Marijuana included. Never put people down about their growing skills. Some of the best plants I have seen come from the stupid old hillbillies who also got 200 bushels per acre of corn.
