They probably think Namahages come from there.

Let's ditch the demon part and focus on the more endearing "big bear" aspect. I have (too ?) many Kumaoni seeds yet I've never taken the time to pop one. Since it's a Himalayan strain, I expect it to provide you with a pleasant upbeat and warm high. However I wonder how different it is from Nanda Devi, which has a very unique kick. On the one hand it is exciting that we have so many landrace to explore, on the other hand it's kinda depressing as one always feels well... late and unfulfilled because you haven't completed all your projects. But I'm digressing...

yeah it takes a decade(s) of selection to refine I'd imagine, Relying on other people's work for the other landrace varietals. High resin percentages, terpenes, cannabinoid ratios, growth structure. I decided to grow worked lines instead however I'm still interested
nice coincidence, I literally received and opened the envelope 5 minutes ago.
Sweet!!!!!
Keep in mind the goals of some worked lines are not high resin, terpenes, high thc... etc. Don’t forget most times it’s about $$$ .

I wanted to take a moment to highlight a few strains from The Real Seed Company and promote to sativa/haze connoisseurs the idea of ensuring these strains make it into their collection.
Cannabis Sativa, also known as Hemp, is known to contain very nice amounts of CBN while Cannabis Indica is known to be absent of CBN. Those very nice Haze effects we can comfortably and greatly attribute to the synergistic effects CBN has to offer.
Todd McCormick went in-depth with this issue on #JRE #44 (2010) (highly recommend clicking that link and listening to this podcast, it is a 2-Hour - 2 parter).
IIRC TRSC once carried Hokkaido Japanese hemp and no longer do - although Ace seeds does carry it
Second will be TRSC Siberian
Third is Kaghan Valley
Fourth is Kunar River
Fifth is Kurgan
Sixth is Crimean
Seventh is Kazakh
These can be considered as essential breeding tools for creating a unique sativa/haze grail.

CBN, watch that podcast with Todd and Joe Rogan
Those plants are all Ruderalis though.. I don't think you'll find much potency in those. They might be useful for autoflowering genetics.
Also none of the landrace sativa or heirloom haze samples posted on ace's website show any CBN, I thought it was understood that CBN is a by-product of THC oxidation. I doubt you will find it in live plants.
I don't disagree that CBN may add to the experience, I hate old "indica" samples, they get stonier and down right dirty but if you have a clean sativa and let it age, it does gain in complexity.
There are ganja cultures that bind weed, you may already know of that famous malawi cobs but there are other cultures that "process" their ganja. It's similar to tea, aging green tea will turn it into black tea and that's a completely different experience.

Hi @burningfire , do you have any examples of other cultures that process their weed? I'm an avid cobber, but would love to learn of other ways of curing. Thanks

Yep, would be interesting!
Obvious examples are pressing into bricks (coincidentally also done for the aforementioned pu erh / Chinese black tea) and Thai sticks.
And not weed but then there's the goat/sheepskin cure for Afghani/Pakistani hash:
Pakistan's Goat-Grown Hashish
Pakistan's largely lawless northern tribal areas are notorious for the high-quality hashish that's a bane of law enforcement. And local producers are proud of their traditional methods to produce the banned black, sticky, local delicacy.

I'm trying to find the article.. it may have been related to the uhkrul or the manipuri. I can only find a small mention of the drying process of the manipuri on the TRSC site, it says they wrap it in cloth and let it wrapped for a day and then unwrap it and cure it.
From the website.
...The traditional Manipuri technique involves semi-drying buds, then binding them tightly with cloth and leaving them for one day. Once bound together like this buds are then unpackaged and dried, after which they are cured for a couple of months....
I remember seeing pictures of a process, I'll have to spend some time looking for it tomorrow.

Thanks I appreciate it.
I love my cobs and the whole process of making them but would love to at least try other traditional methods
their Nanda Devi is a little bit special ...........its a bit of a hidden gem
