You truly do not know what you are talking about.
Today's many cannabis varieties are carefully crafted hybrid strains that are a mix of the original Cannabis Indica, Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Ruderalis plant genetics. The modern strains have been specifically crafted so that they will grow short and stout under indoor lights, with big fat flower tops. People growing pot that is to be smoked, are not interested in long stalk varieties only suitable for making rope.

These were strains from over 20 years ago. The only breeding done was pollination from one plant in a bread sack then stick a branch of the female into the same sack. Nothing fancy. No lights no timers. Some fertilizer and the info resource available was a magazine called High Times.
You may say I do not know what I am talking about but then again I was gainfully "self employed" for 10 of of those 14 years.
