way to pull a chemdog.
well in most of the rest of the country you still go to jail for possesion, nevermind growing. just a friendly reminder.
way to bogart a strain you got from him.
as to most of the rest of the thread.....
seriously how has what rez has done been bogarting?
he's made seeds and others have been free to do the same, with the same cuts or even use rez's gear, and have hardly done shit,,, plus these days i see loads of "breeders" bitching about rez and then breeding with his genetics,,, lol
gets a bit old hearing that one,, i do agree with your last sentiment though,
oswizzle to be honest your talking crap,,,,
not like he's got it hidden in a closet or anything dude.
but i mean------
kinda funny saying the guy who kept those seeds and actually did something with them in the first place "shouldnt even bother" trying to do anything with them. don't ya think? whatever, i think all these breeder soap opera dramas are a little played out anyways.
and I have to agree with your last sentiment as well.
haha funny but both of those groups have stepped their game up a bitm the fire OG cuts i got from harborside recently were some nice kushy stuff, and BPG gives clones to a few farms up north and they have some decent kush crosses as well that produced good nugs last season..
i was at a local club today..they had some "milky way OG kush" that made me laugh. i ended up buying a half 8th of it for 30 bucks, its the same exact kush that i grow, the SFV Pure Kush cut. milkyway OG haha, that club plays a ton of name games. U2 kush, blue bubba kush, Uranium Kush, Platinum Kush, Woogie Boogie OG kush....all for basic fire and SFV pheno OG kushes..
That in and of itself is a scam, he is still/back over where he went when he left here. The other guy just takes peoples cash and doesnt send anything.

I grew u2 kush. It is actually a Master Kush X U2 Lavender. It is very Master Kush dominant and is nothing like SFV OG

Uhhhhh....ya think?
Guys... what breeders are you talkin bout?
I see no problem with that. Until few years ago there were still travellers roaming Afghanistan, not a lot, but a few. In 2004, in Peshawar, I met an Italian guy who travelled round the country for two whole months, without any problem. In these days it was common to meet, still in Peshawar, travellers who had crossed the country from Iran. And I'm pretty sure that still today, there are a few hot heads roaming the place.
It's not the whole country which is warn-torn, and in some places war actually never showed up.
About the weather, depending on years, Afghanistan is 1st or 2nd hash producer in the world, so the weather is just fine for the plant. As in Iran, lots of phenotypes overthere, with a harvest time actually going from late-july/early august to late-december/early january.
Errr... Sorry OW, but you're wrong here. Most of the Hindu Kush range is located in Afghanistan. Also, Pakistan and India don't fight about Hindu Kush, but about Kashmir, and Kashmir is whole proper himalaya range, and Karakoram on Pakistan side, not a single Hindu Kush peak is in Kashmir.
I've visited Kashmir, and I've visited pakistan Hindu Kush (and as a matter of fact I've brought back seeds, like many before me). Yarkhun valley is where it stops. West side of the valley is Hindu Kush, East side of the valley is Hindu Raj range.
And for your information, the Hindu Kush is quite green, with way more than barley being grown there, and lots & lots of wild & cultivated phenotypes to pick from.
hmm, I don't know where you got that, but this is about Baluchistan, not Hindu Kush.
I don't know about these German anthropologists, but Vavilov's work is the reference in that matter (that was during the 30s if I remember). Russian "moved in" in 1979, not the 60s.
Yeah, after reading your other post, I think you're talking about Vavilov, he was Russian.
Well, if they were in the Hindu Kush, they obviously couldn't map Iran... But yes, I agree with you. Considering the huge diversity of phenotypes, and old customary uses, in Iran, one can wonder at the reason why so little documentation on Iranian cannabis exists. This is sad because potential is huge. Caucasus & Caspian sea (a highly possible cradle of cannabis) are there, but data aren't. I guess the Islamic revolution didn't help to motivate researchers.
And if Vavilov choose Afghanistan rather than Iran, it's because Russia had had an eye on Afghanistan (it was the road to India) since a few centuries.
Why don't you help fill the void and do some filed research OW ? That would be way more constructive than bashing at people. Yes, you're growing plants from there, and it's nice to have a look at beauties from your country, thank you for sharing but, in the end, all your doing is showing picture of plants and that's what almost everyone on this site is doing. It doesn't bring much more knowledge about the plant, only a tiny tiny fraction of what's available.
I agree with OW on that one. Only 157 accessions, and none from Iran. THis is Hillig's study right ? The man himself wrote that he had not enough samples to get a clear view, and his results are only putatives.
The diversity of Iranian genepool is not to be questionned, it's simply huge, period.
Here a few bits of Hindu Kush (those are pics I did shoot myself OW...)

mriko, much respect and good work on a comprehensive post.
I think you argued with me when I mentioned the many phenos that exist in natural cannabis producing regions, then agreed with me on these latest post. Where ever an agricultural product originates you find the greatest diversity. Indeed you described diversity and your photographs illustrate diversity.
I have been to US, Asia and Africa. I have touched on the middle east (Oman Muscut) but have no cannabis experience there. I have been to Mexico too. Point is, when I am in these places I buy cannabis by the ounce. I just get a taxi driver and ask him. Every time it was a total crap shoot what I was going to get. I have been offered cannabis that ranged from nearly hemp to Thai weed in the same town for the same price. We all know that certain altitudes and regions in general produce a similar product because evolution in micro climates dictate. I also know that when left to go wild cannabis does resort to a wild ass plant that expresses extremely varied phenos. Your pictures illustrate that. Saying that cannabis is potent just because it comes from a region is not correct. When nature selects to evolve a species it is to survive a micro climate. When man selects to evolve a species it is to produce a desired effect like sweet apples, or potent cannabis.
Best region to buy potent cannabis is California USA. You have the highest collective of motivated botanist there.

Oh and the people of Afghanistan....they are basically white people....
And yes, tons of hashish is produced there

Both Pathan tribes and the Kalash hold ancestry with European families. The Kalash are said to share lineage with the tribes of Alexander the Great from Macedonia. Later the Pashtun adopted some of the children of relations of Queen Victoria in an ambush on an Imperialist caravan of pack-horses in Afghanistan. Both are well documented. Infact most 'Durranies' will today claim Royal blood,,, one way or another.
The truth of history... is that blonde hair and green eyes don't just appear from no-where. One reason German Anthropologists held such an interested in 'face-casting' the people of the region and documenting their feudal lifestyle was to re-trace their own ancestry. Again well documented....
peace
Anyhow ,, back to the Ganja which in Afghanistan often descends from seed cultivated in Tajikistan and Uzbeck lands... not Afghanistan itself!! Uzbecks are rich in the region and often sell seed via Mazar and other northern out-posts to poorer Afghan farmers. Fact
