Greetings,

3 nepals are all showing a weird growth pattern they are on the third node and seem very stressed with crinkly leafs and slow growth. The dirt they are in is well ferted but all the other strains are handling this quite well and they are all strains with a reputation for being nute sensitive. Do they need to be watered more than usual or something? Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks,

ql

I am interested in an educated response to this as well. The Nepal Highland will be my main breeding tool for my lat and there is a lack of threads pertaining to its growth. I have only found one outdoor grow regarding to Nepalese Highland, and it is duplicated in the CBG website forums. I am trying to garner as much info on this strain as possible so that I may grow it to its full potential. I've found nothing regarding Reeferman's earlier version except for the strain description. I have read through all the NepJam and Banghi threads hoping to learn as much as I can.

I'll start a journal on Nepal Highland here once I am finished with my test run of freebies, in hopes of stirring up some discussion and knowledge.

Thanks to CBG for making this available in its prue form. From what I have read, this is a must for me at 48n if I plan on growing a sativa outdoors here.

Best of luck with your grow quitelost I hope you find the answers your looking for.

Incase you are interested, here is all the information I collected that I've found useful in regards to Nepalese Highland. I hope this is useful for you or any looking to be more informed, as its all laid out in one place making it easier to find than sifting through all the threads and various seedbank descriptions.

Nepal Highland is a quick flowering mountain Sativa cannabis. A very nice and easy to grow cannabis with acceptable yield, strong uplifting high. The aroma is a nice floral citrus and sweet smell. Cannabiogen has workrd this strain for 7 generations after aquiring it from reeferman

Quotes from CBG Breeder Charlie Garcia

"Wish I could give you more detauls about its exact source but this line Nepalese came originally from a Reeferman in a exchange we did in the past
We have bred it 5-6 generations to fix best traits possible towards, in my opinion, most Nepalese wished traits, aromas and effects. Well cured has a chocolat scent, really tasty while in flower has a floral and creamy aroma. Effect is very social, kind and potent without the agressivity some other varieties can have despite its potency. Very pleasant and spiritual in that sense. A very nice smoke for everyday, high resistance to mold and humidity conditions, we have used this in several jobs as part of their genetic make up"

"I cant define it as clearly sativa or indica, guess there is some indica bottom but mostly sativa indeed as we use to define it. Anyway, ones thinking about a crazy sativa effect can be wrong with Nepal Highland. Its much more social and pleasant"

"Produces nice colas here as well, very nice calyx to leaf ratio and very social, kind and balanced effect. Kinda dreammy sativa, good for daytime and for night time as well, makes you feel up and happy. A very nice smoke and type of effect, creative and active. Always talk about they may produce strong munchies after 2 hours."

"Grown outdoors in warmer climates may extend their reflowering a bit untill 12 weeks with nice resistance to pests and elements. Peculiar and creammy aroma crossed with a columbian pr crippy for tests produced amazing hashy aromas in the air. have a very nice mold resistance and they finish quick. Also require minimal care to thrieve in the ground. Dont go too long to finish at all
Chocolat aromas and so social and up effects, they put a smile in your face and a feeling good type of effect to stay positive
A preferred line here for myself"

"Line is been develped here 5 generations since first lots arrived. Even so, still few variances in structure. Bred towards most nepalese scents imho. Performs very well in harder conditions, We had to balance a bit structures, aromas and effects selecting their best we could with the time."

"We'd recommend you to select for the most vigorous, fast flowering, high yielding not lanky nepalese males"


Other Info on Nepalese Highland Sativa's

Nepalese Highland seeds are a traditional pure landrace charas cultivar which produce strong hashish from either hand rubbing live plants or by sieving the dried harvest. In Western Nepal this strain is cultivated at an altitude of between 1000m - 3000m and displays two distinct phenotypes: the first grows to about 1.5m in height with dense, compact buds and tight internodal length, the second is rangier and reaches uop to 3m tall. As befits a strain from this region it has excellent resistance to both cold and mold and makes tremendous stock for cross breeding.

Reeferman description:

Reeferman Seeds Nepalese Highland Regular is a pure IBL (inbred line) from Nepal. Although this strain grows with a sativa structure the buds show more indica in their formation. Reeferman has sold these seeds at various times over the past decade on various seed auctions and other seed sites and this strains is known to have been used be several breeders to produce the majority of Nepali based strains that are available today. The strain is popular with breeders looking to create sativa structure in indica hybrids, where earlier finishing times are required. It also produces a larger frame to the plants which helps increase the yields. This Nepalese Highland was used as the father of Reeferman’s High Times Cannabis Cup winner Willie Nelson, along with a number of other popular Reeferman strains.

I'm not particularly experienced with these sorts of things so I don't know how much help I an be but I do grow Nep Jam which is 75% Nepalese Highland.

Watch your nutes with IBL sativas. They are easy to burn with excessively rich soil and they are sometimes rather PH sensitive although Nep Jam is pretty tough compared to most. I don't know if this is in fact the cause of your problem but it is something worth looking into as a possible issue.

Are the crinkled leaves extremely wide, to the point where the fingers of the leave are kinda overlapping and trying to grow together almost kinda like a Ducksfoot indica?

My last grow where I was having nute burn and PH issues I had a Nepalese Jam seedling with crinkled leaves that were funky and wide like that. It also grew more slowly than the others.

Or does the crinkling look more like classic nitrogen burn with leaf curl on the edges and tips?

[quitelost]

Looks more like nitro burn, but this soil isn't so hot, the other strains are my lebxmalana cream a pure landrace cross, fighting buddah from chimera which is a blueberry cross, lilly and upstream from delicatessen. So it could just be the mix thats kind of warm but its surprising as the other strains are all nute sensitive and doing fine.

I'm sorry if its offtopic but fuck reeferman the "reformed" white supremacist, I know he worked this nepal years ago and gave it in a trade to cbg, has nothing to do with it now but his name came up and although I don't know him personally from his public persona he seems like a shameless asshole.

Thanks to all,

Just want to report that these grew out of it and the one female(males are dead) now has crazy vigor.

[idiit]

^ abnormal one blade leaf.



^ opposing leaf more normal looking, but very wide.



this deep purple nepalese came from a collective vibe member stock.

don't know if guy/girl. too early. starting to indicate.

the poor color in the leaf was due to brand new organic super soil. upper leaves looking healthy now.

if you hit ctrl + "+" simultaneously you can magnify the picture on the black/purple stem.

[window]

I grew a couple of highland Nepalese from CBG earlier this year, they all had mutated leaves to start with but finally grew out of it.
Only ended up with one female from a pack of 5, luckally she was the best looking plant, I went 12/12 from seed.
Sorry no pics of the plant just dried bud.
