…hm…it’s not the surplus of water but the lack of oxygen at the roots. as long as there is enough oxygen at the roots you can’t overwater. that’s why hydroponics work.

you can’t breed a strain that doesn’t need oxygen. usually plants (or animals) that need less oxygen have a slower metabolism and thus slower growth/less overall vigor. that doesn’t mean they have to stay small but it takes them longer to grow tall.

it’s an oversight by nature: plants release oxygen at the leafes but for their metabolism they have to take it up via the roots.

for the asian strains: it’s often said that rainforests don’t grow in the soil but on the soil. checks out with what I learned from growing weed.

that’s just my two cents. I can confidently say parts of the above is true but it doesn’t paint the whole picture and I’m no expert on that

on the other hand: just give it a try. you’ll have a lot of fun and who knows maybe you’ll get something really good out of it.

worst case: it doesn’t work as intended
