Question about landrace Kush. - Landraces - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

03-15-2006, 12:02 AM

When was the last time somebody went over to the Hindu-Kush Mtns. and brought back some landrace beans.

I've heard it's inbreed overthere, but I can't help but wonder what other native forms of Kush still are out there.

Who brought the the hindu-kush west in the first place?

I also wonder what other genetics have mixed in with the regions kush's since trade routes have been used through this area for a long time.

Feel free to add any and all thoughts on LANDRACE Kush......please not kush hybrids.......thanks

well there are a lot of kushes out there. Many different breeders with Hindu Kush, and as far as I know its made from Afghani. I'd like some landrace Kush.

Rez has a new Kush line coming out this years. it will have an IBL kush used in crosses as well as IBL pure IBL beans out with them.

As far as roots of Kush in area , once could assume that they were from india or nepal and brought their may years ago. Indicas are used more for hashish production than herb itself. They grow many short single cola plants . Very hearty and very sticky. Hard to pinpoint if they were even brought there since so many theories. One that is interesting to me is about india smacking into asia. India having landraces and then spead throught asia , adapting to climates]

Nevermind

I thougth Kush originated from the Hindu-Kush Mountain Range that is in S.E. Afghanistan and North West Pakistan.............

Afghani being from lowland area's or highland area's................

Kush is unique YES?

As Afghani is unique........

Trichrome Gnome, DocLeaf (if i remember well) has a thread Chitral here in the Breeders Forum, you may find it a bit informative.

Chitral is a line from Kush. Well not the Chitral offered by seedbanks...

For the second time if i remember well, mriko had some pure Chitral, collected by himself there ... Mriko knows a lot about these areas but don't know if he's on ICmag...

Ya, I think Chitral is a village area........I'm very curious how many folks have brought back seeds from the Hindu-Kush Mountains........As it seems that the cannabis is unique to the area

What is the definition of a true kush?

. It was in his thread about Chitral. Nice read.

From the discussion ...
"Chitral lies in the isolated region of the Hindu Kush, at an altitude of 1500m upwards in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, on the border with Afghanistan. The four great mountain chains in Asia are formed from the Hindu Kush, Pamir, Karakoram, and the Himalyas. The highest peak of the Hindu Kush is Tirich Mir 7,787m. Mountain glaciers play a significant role in shaping these valleys, together with weathering, erosion and tectonic uplift, and also the effect of earthquakes, landslides and flash floods. Glaciers can be creative - as a source of irrigation or destructive - leading to loss of agricultural land, roads, and houses. A number of mountain passes surround the Chitral valley. There have been political and social links between the upper valleys and communities surrounding them across these high mountain passes."

Too bad the extremelly beautiful thread of mriko "More Asian Goodies" in OG is lost ...
