Yeah, that would be great!! I bet it would be some fantastic stuff!
Can you imagine shaking the hash of those matured and dried? El primo dry sift makes me wanna cry ha ha.

When i came home today, i could smell the drying plant as soon as i opened the door of the house. I am living in the scd floor. Didnt happen with other varieties by now. :) smelly stuff for sure

The Afghan Landrace/Heirloom "Maruf Black" was used in a hybrid I'm growing
and seems to impart fruity bubblegum terpenes and rotting meat/Halitosis smelling thiols.

I am currently stress testing this group of plants for f2's and polyhybrids so they've been pollenated by the herm prone ounterparts, next harvest won't be an issue, the more Maruf prone the squatter and stronger the branching, these can support lots of weight.
I have the entire durand land pack..I don't know what to bust first.. Revverand here has me interested in the Shajoy that has purple..I think its the manar or the shahjoy are the way to go ..I did Arghandab black and it was a huge dissapointment..I gathered pollen these last runs from some chemd/i95 and it I thnk would pair well with one of them in the pack..I did let my nawa ghazni a couple years ago die..it sucked..the big round variety..but I'm wanting to get some power into some of them see what they produce..so much breeding shit on the mind

Did anyone manage to reproduce the lolab valley Kashmir?

Planted mine a while ago and one popped which smelled amazing even on the first true leaves.
It looks weird, no serrations and still single leaflets on the third set.

I’ve put the others back in the fridge in their pots for a bit, hopefully they’ll pop when I warm them up in a couple of weeks.
Looking forward to something body relaxing without the stupification that often comes with it.

Try ACEs Auto Malawi x NL. Very nice focused sativa head high and calm, had pretty nice sleep through nights also. (y) Not too strong, overdose is just sleep ^^, no bad feelings.
Just been reading about the history of NL, does sound tempting but quite excited about the LVK at the moment, particularly this plant as it looks more like rosemary than bud.

I think it’s a freak because I found the breadwizzard LVK grow diary and his look nothing like mine.

Hope I can get more to pop so I can make seeds or it’ll be lost if it autos, I’ve got it under 18:6.

The growing season spans from April/May to early October, when it is harvested to produce resin.


VERY LIMITED STOCK, COMING FROM SINGLE PLANT SELECTIONS EACH SEASON,

indeed. it looks like rosemary. are you going to keep this plant? it's interesting to know what comes out of it.

are you sure is a seedling coming from the Lolab, and not other weed @Hedge ?
I’ve come to the conclusion that if it looks like rosemary and smells like rosemary, then it probably is rosemary.
Shame, thought I’d found the next freakshow. Never had a rosemary volunteer before, hopefully I’ll get the desired plants sprouting when they come back out of the fridge.
It’s been a few years so I might have left them too long.

Hi @H e d g e Feral strains like Lolab must be germinated straight in the soil and may take a few weeks to pop up, especially if seeds are old.

Thanks dubi :) I always germinate in living soil, I read somewhere that the microbiology on the spermosphere doesn’t survive in a sterile environment. Not sure if cold stratification was a good idea but they’ve been a few weeks in the propagator so I thought I’d try it, fingers crossed.

Hi @H e d g e The Lolab were a few years old, only try stratification if seeds are really old and previous normal germination attempts failed.
 
RED KUMRAT

Red Selection from the Kumrat Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, featured a tall/wispy structure upto 7ft tall with minimal side branching. The flowers were quite airy and lose covered in resin and many bracts already opening up to disperse the seeds. It carried a strong piney stench, along with aromas resembling industrial adhesive.

A truly beautiful example of a primordial landrace variety, which hasn't been systematically cultivated or domesticated, by human beings but only used as a herb procured directly from the wild. Hence, these populations have been surviving completely on their own in this harsh terroir for the longest time by letting the environment take complete control of their evolutionary path. Where, the environmental pressure of the terroir gradually shapes the plant populations overtime to best fit their ecological habitats, imperative for long term survival.

Kumrat Valley, is located towards the northernmost fringes of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa around 35N, with an average floor elevation of 2000 meters. The Valley lies in the lesser known kohistan region which is inhabited by mostly Kohistani tribes.

Due to a combination of high latitude position and high altitude the onset of snow comes as early as late October to early November, which brings the valley to a halt until April when the snow clears.
Kumrat Valley is located towards the south East of Chitral and hence falls around the eastern foothills of the Hindu Kush mountain range traversing into Afghanistan.

Kumrat Valley, doesn't have any planned cultivation of cannabis at all, and all the cannabis populations in the valley are intact in their primordial form, completely unaffected from any domestication efforts.

The local variety grows up to be an extremely thin, wispy up to 5-7 ft tall plants, with disperse bract flower structure. The seeds are ejected from the bracts automatically at different times during the flowering period similar to other wild varieties we have seen in the past. However, the size and the density of the resin glands is exceptional as expected from a cannabis population adapted to an extremely cold (semi-tundra) climate.

These primordial landrace populations represents the actual Hindu Kush highland variety which has been taken by farmers, travellers, collectors and so many others to a variety of different habitats from it's own. To be then domesticated, bred, selected and turned into something more productive to human beings.

The overall lack of vigor in the plants, can be seen from a lesser root mass to thin/wispy stems only capable of producing little bud growth.The buds typically feature smaller sized bracts with a short life span, facilitating the self dispersal of the seeds. In the valley, seeds fall on the ground each year to be buried under the snow for at least 4 months before they can sprout up once again in the spring season.

The seeds are typically oblong/pear shaped, tiny and dark in color. The seeds have extremely hard shells, that seems to have developed multiple non permeable layers, which stops the moisture from entering the seed for long periods of time thus delaying the germination until the favourable time of the year, i. e. spring.

The weather around the harvest window gets extremely cold, with a wild swing in the day and night time temperatures. A lot of plants can be seen expressing vibrant hues of purples and reds. The flowering window is only around 8-9 weeks in the valley, which begins from August and closes in the first week of October as the snow comes in. These plants appear similar to the primordial Landrace populations documented in northern Kashmir (Lolab valley) and even from the southern Kashmir region like Srinagar and Pulwama.

Which finishes with an appearance similar to a long flowering variety from lower latitudes, However, the flowering term is significantly shorter (almost half compared to Landraces adapted to temperate regions located at lower latitudes) The buds are much more dense and the resin production is exceedingly better with bigger size of resin glands , especially the capitate-stalked trichomes which are rarely seen on the landrace varieties from hotter (temperate and equatorial) regions.

Bouquet: Strong piney stench, along with aromas resembling industrial adhesive.
High: A wilder population with not so strong but very unique, uplifting and mood elevating effects.

Hi there,

does anybody knows if there is an worth mentioning amount of CBD in red Kumrat?
