Speak of the devil. The Sinai I photographed has balls today dammit. Don't mind a male Sinai but my females won't be ready for two months.
The wild card with the Leb and Sinai is CBD levels. Any breeding program has to account for that potential and it's impossible to tell which way a male goes without lab testing. You could smoke it and some people swear by it but I wouldn't trust something so subjective.

Yeah my lebanese had a white fly infestation going on indoors but the leaves and stems became sticky from some sort of substance being emitted from the plant, smoke test of dried leaf was not fruitful but the rumor was that the leb had thcv presence during the vegetative stage that was showing up on tests. (thcv doesnt really activate thc receptors) I would buy a test kit and analyze the leaves but they're still too expensive for me right now.I'll be growing the Lebanese and Chitrali seeds i have, I wanted to breed something other than the afghans and I'm looking to isolate the full indica expressions after future investigation maybe put them together.

What I sometimes do when I want to delay males is to put them under vegetative light the minute they show sex.
This gives the females more time to be ready.

I find via smoke test, lebanese has a decently even effect of cbd and thc, it doesnt get me super stoned. Chitrali has some phenos that display a cbd effect, some even with little thc feeling. That strain is all over. Sinia seems to be more thc leaning, i cant detect much else, but its hard to tell once they hit "x" amount of thc.
not real proof, but i smoke cbd buds ive grown (no idea where they are at cbd wise though) and bags tested by the pot shops locally 90% of the time anymore. Im quite thc sensitive anymore, so i feel i have a decent guage on the effects.

hi - this is misleading
latitude does not correlate precisely with flowering time, so it's not an accurate guide
all the 'Middle Eastern' strains are fast - Sinai, Turkish, Syrian, Lebanese
also, the Nanda Devi, which is a Himalayan strain, is fast, but not compact
the original Durban Poison from Ed Rosenthal and Mel Frank is also a fast strain

are the really big seeds in Nanda Devi packs more likely to have genes from non charas making plants (fiber) that grow in the area, as oppossed to the smaller seeds?
I remember you mentioning something like that once on another site a few years back.
just wondering as i am about to pop some seeds.
thanks

hi - there aren't any non-charas strains in the area
I can't give you a definitive answer
most likely the big seeds come from the earliest pollen that landed on the plant
it's concievable that it is also pollen from the multipurpose variety grown in the same area, which is a distinct strain from this one though there has certainly been some intermixing of genes going on between the two

thanks,
on your web site it says:
"The villages which grow this strain regard it as a special charas strain cultivated only for the purpose of making charas, and farmers believe it has a better, stronger high than the other large seeded strains (known as 'dati') which they also cultivate. "
are the Nanda Devi strain seeds big and the "dati" huge?
im not comlplaing, the seeds i got as a gift. so i have no worries.
just interested.
I think i remember Chimera saying that the size of the seed is not related to the father but the size of the sacks that the mother produces.
but i could be totally wrong about that.

I'm not a botanist, but I can tell you this:
There are three types of cannabis in the village: 'Nanda Devi', 'dati', and feral plants
All three stay distinct and keep their defining traits despite obviously swapping genes through pollen every year
Nanda Devi seeds are typically medium sized to medium-small
Dati are typically medium-large to very large
If you have some large seeds in your bag of Nanda Devi that doesn't mean much --- it's either from pollen hitting the plant early in growth or I guess from dati pollen
But the point is that this ND strain seems to stay distinct even when hybridised with the feral and dati strain in the same village

Initially these were indoor clones from a re-vegetating plant with with about 13 or 14 hours of light, I think this was a few days to a week after i brought them out, The stems became purple during acclimation but that subsided as it grew. one of the leb seed plants had deep purple while growing under t5/w blue/UV lamps.

Yes she is!
I'm growing 3 clones, indoors this plant was very cylindrical/compact branching big thick stems she grew so tall she was falling over from weight there wasn't enough wind the root plant size ratio, i had them in vegetation for too long.
It looks like a bunch of sativa/hemp seeds were warped together in uniform at high altitudes with low annual rainfall in a climate where it were a struggle to reach threshold size, I think its wild the way she grows. I mean she seems reminiscent of kush, its definitely an indica cultivar. BTW, According to an research analysis, Indica is genetically more related with hemp than 'marijuana hybrids' or cannabis sativa.
To be honest i wasn't sure initially the way she grew reminded me of an 'afghanica', In the sense of an Indica Sativa Hybrid but I think that term is like an oxymoron in that it only seems to apply with afghanistan cultivars.
I Wonder if they may take on the classic christmas tree form that they were grown from seed directly from the soil, Some of the branching is growing out the side from under the bottom.

Before i got into cannabis The first time i was looking to buy seeds I wanted to grow the giant Indica spear leaves. Beqaa Valley is 34N 1,000 meters above sea level, i'm in a mountain valley at 48N, 2,950′ Altitude. Its been quite windy, The main fan leaf stems are very thick!
Mission Accomplished!

Could there be potential for larger leaves in further generations?
