Growers Comments:
“Pure Ruderalis, despite flowering automatically, finishes in no less than 10 weeks if AT ALL. There is
absolutely no use for the plant other than setting flower in equatorial varieties. This comes directly from Nevil
and my own experience.” - Lady J
“Ruderalis: real Ruderalis is a single stem plant like a willow whip and x number of weeks after germination
will begin flowering irrespective of light hours. Once this is in a strain it never goes away even if all auto
flowerers are weeded out, it will reappear after a generation or two when the genes recombine to the
dominant form its like sickle cell anemia except you cant tell the carriers with Ruderalis. Ruderalis doesn’t
have large colas either. In the early days of wild strain collection, indicas from western Afghanistan were often
mistakenly called Ruderalis they were early flowering with large colas. They also will often initiate flowering
early, but can be reveged. The difference is that with real Ruderalis once flowering is initiated it cant be
revegitated you can root cuttings with just a few flowers under 24 hr lighting and it just makes tiny colas. It’s
not a thing to pass on to future generations.
You can’t tell if the (Ruderalis) gene is in a plant by the look. A friend of ours was developing a version of
white widow from a Canadian source extremely potent and resinous after several generations auto flowering
turned up so they destroyed the whole line seed stock and all. Why do you think there might be Ruderalis in
your strain it seems pretty unlikely to me. A couple of Canadian seed banks have used it quite a lot. In
Holland its hardly been used at all, Nevil experimented with it and dropped it. Sensi sell a hybrid version and
it is in Swiss Miss / Myst but that’s about it.” - Ot1.

Growers Comments:
"The main advantage of the Ruderalis line is that they flower automatically without regard to the amount of
light vs. darkness. It's a good strain if you want to grow outdoors and live up north or in a place where there's
a relatively short growing period. You could cross it further with quality strains, but you might lose the
auto-flowering feature of the Ruderalis." -BK_Greenthumb
"I've grown Sensi's Rud. Skunk. The Indica was (apparently) originally a result of much work by Nevil with NL
in mid 80's. The HUGE and in-surmountable problem with this variety is mold resistance (or rather, a lack of
it): Ruderalis is NOT mold resistant, nor is Northern lights, and nor is skunk. Basically, Sensi are selling seeds
for a very specialist environment: northern latitudes, low rainfall (were I come from, this one melted to
nothing in early Sept., well before it matured). On top of that, it doesn’t taste to fine either. Also remember
that with auto flowering, you get no chance to filter for sex, so you've got to grow all your seed. Only 25% of
the seed planted will be early flowering female (75% of your plants will either be male or mature to late to be
any good!)" -retro13
“The ones I grew (from Sensi) flowered at 24/0, but only some of the plants did flower. Ended up with one
excellent male and a nice but low-potency female. The male produced a nice buzz even from the leaves.
Made some F2 seeds for further breeding. About 100 days from seed to harvest under a 24/0 light period.”
