There isn't much to update, but it occurred to me to update anyway. I found two people, both essentially different kinds of experts, that tentatively agreed to help with this, to provide input. Per a bit of discussion I started the article, with the context and framing section more or less...

An update: I think I found the right person, not so much a breeder but instead a marijuana journalist, so just a matter of getting some more input settled. I did start that parallel thread in a different forum section here but it didn't seem to make any difference. The background reading on...

Those are really interesting stories, thanks. A lot of what I'm reading is very interesting, just not close enough in focus to work for the original purpose, to communicate as related to the subject of tea. I think I'll have to step up the research to pin down specific people for possible...

Really the input from what you've just said, and what Canyon mentioned, and what I've scanned would already make for an interesting post, related to a scattered "random lessons learned" type of post. I can do better though, and draw this into a tighter focus. I like the image of people...

Interesting ideas, thanks. The challenge for this, beyond finding the right person or persons for input, will be scoping, how to say a little that's interesting when the comparison really requires a good long book to accomplish. Since there is no reason to write such a book a medium-ish...

Seems odd posting this here, but suggestions from others on the forum indicated this question might get better response in the more related part of this forum. I'm doing research on plant breeding for a tea blog article, and want to compare it to marijuana plant development. I really just...

I might also qualify that I'm not a tea expert, just a typical blogger, I write about it, research it, drink a lot of it. I don't grow tea, or make it. No other tea bloggers chase down related story lines as I'm doing so I guess I'm not typical in that sense. It's just interesting to me, so I...

My blog is open to the public, but to be clear, it's only about tea (maybe and travel, if I go places, like I was in Indonesia last month, but then I try to make the subjects overlap, for example visiting a tea plantation there). I always had planned to share whatever I research and finally...

Those articles are great. Here's the thing; the people that wrote those could answer some of the questions I'd like to ask, but looking them up might not be so easy. I've tried contacting people different ways, in addition to joining groups in different places, but this is just going to take...

Here is the first draft of that blog post, the context for the input about marijuana plant breeding input. Probably no reason to give it a close read, a skim would make the point, unless for some reason tea plant development is interesting. post draft content: A bit odd to go there, isn't it...

sorry I wasn't checking this over the weekend, thanks for the input. I read the blog section, and there are some really interesting articles there. I'll have another go at explaining what I'm looking for. I wrote an introduction to the final blog post, which will surely change a lot, and...

Greetings! This might sound odd but I'm looking around here to research for a blog post, to compare plant breeding and strain changes between marijuana and tea plants. You might think "why?" I've been writing a blog about tea for two years and I keep coming back to subjects about plant...
