Pakistan Yarkhun @ Mriko

Super double Pakistani action Roms, you've been busy with them WLD indicas! 
I wouldn't call those "sativa influenced" but Pakistan is a bit closer to the tropics than Central Asia so one would think they have more in common with Nepalese and Indian strains than a Mazari for example. I'd rather say that the Baglung Nepalese is WLD influenced if anything.
As I recall Cannabiogens PCK also has thin pistils if that means anything.
The wild jungli strains in Pakistan, North West India and Nepal are not very NLD, in fact most have a sativa structure but start out with wide leaves. I'm pretty sure what we think of as "indica" is actually many different varieties with different origins, Xinjian being one of the most important sources, and they're giant indicas.
Yarkhun area is linked to Afganistan via the ancient Khyber pass, while the eastern parts of Pakistan are connexted to Xinjian in China. That's how it seems on the map anyway, reality might be a bit more complex.

Thanks for your thoughts and knowledges brother Thule!
When i grab Y seeds with Mriko, that was the KaraK thing that made me choose his Yarkhun compared to others more Chitrali ones. Not about the relation with Afghanistan "giant" stuff but about the relation with Nuristani vibes. I thought to find mode WLD with Yarkhuns but in facts not
That also why i chose the Tom Hill's X18 for doublecrossing, Kafiristanican backcross in mind for the Yarkhun.Quite complex and paradoxal things to understand yes with North Indian indica (Pakistan,Pradesh, Nepal) located amidst of two "giant indica", the one Chinese and the other Afghanica Mazar, Uzbek etc. And amidzs of all a little Nuristani land and valleys fertiles and protohistoric people up to unfertile +3000m.
My opinion is that when the last major climate upheaval (-12000years) many people naturally took refuge on the mountains, in many parts of the world. So i think Nuristani animist people is trace of a very old civilisation. Had they the cannabis in their culture? If yes the greenz has maybe been acclimatised there by their hands, they probably breeded and created the true old hashplant in fact. And after the cannabis coma back to tropics and spread by the East to India and by the Ouest to Afghanistan. (?) Vibes

Take the opportunity to salute the work of my french camarade Kerala and his Tiki Seeds Yarkoum gear. F1 with Yarkhun x unknown secret resin producer. Here is traces...

Maybe you can find Tiki's strains restock in the future here but Artisan Du Bonheur haven't restock the Yarkoum line? I know that Kerala knows big problems with Switzerland and justice. That's why another Tiki's friend breeder have restocked part of Tikiz stuff.High devilock,
thank you very much for growing these out and
for that excellent smoke report.
Looks like Yarkoum starts to please a lot of growers
Yarkoum can really give excellent yields if you put mature cuts
directly in bloom, I've seen really exciting results with this technique,
you should give that technique a try if your setup permits it....

Yea, the Banglungs were/are hybrids, more indica than many of the N. Indian charas plants RSC has been offering. But there are viney sativas in the line too ..and lot of purple colors in the line.
The really purple Nepali pictured on the first page had a black currant-ish smell, but not a sweet one. Kinda like black currant tea + dried cranberries, moldy and earthy
As we can see with Kerala's Yarkoum, WLD start then refined with thin pistils and nice sativ final yield!
With X18 and its large pistils the yield is ridiculous in comparison!
But terpz and aromaz of X18 are, in general, also ridiculous superior to Chitrali cultivars like Yarkhun or Laspur!

Wwoooww Roms , this small bud to X18 is amazing .

Just to re-phrase this, I don't think Yarkhun strains are more similar to Nepalese strains than to Mazar. But Mazar i Shariff is situated north of the Hindu Kush (lowland) while Yarkhun is on the way to Nepal geographically. I'm sure lots of hashplant genetics were imported to northern India as peculiarities but they have a much more likely origin in Pakistan than Afghanistan, thus the similarities.
There are lots of different climatic zones in the Hindu Kush area, some are low lying deserts, some are dry and mountainous and some like Chitral are affected by the monsoon and have a local steppe climate. Take the same genetics and grow them in a different locale, eventually the genetics will change.
Because I love maps I'll just leave this here
Absolutely yes mann!

Yah micro climats vibes, btw the Nuristan seems to be magical green despite the altitude around 3500m?
We love your maps Mr North
The little black stain here is the Nuristan, ex-Kafiristan!

Hello Roms ,
they are very homogeneous plants, and very productive males.
The leaves are very large and wide, I like a lot
