Just back from a seed hunting expedition in The Himalayas. Such an amazing place to spend some time. We came across many flavours and varieties of both farmed and wild cannabis and here are some of the photos from our trip.
We landed in Delhi and took a connecting flight to the mountains to begin our search. Hope you all enjoy....I definitely did.

Everyone needs to relax a little before a big climb. This will certainly help things along..

On the way up to the grow areas. This path was covered in wild jungli sativas of various height. Most above 10 feet high. You smell them before ya see them. Beautiful aromas and colours.

Most plants anywhere near to a path had already been rubbed by the locals for the jungli cream. These few look well decimated already.

It took us around 6 hours of trekking to reach the first cultivated fields. These plants were Sativa Indica hybrids but they grew to huge heights. Most above 12/13 foot tall and all top heavy with dense sticky colas. Most of the lower branching here had been already removed from the plants. We drank chai and chilled out with the local villagers as they made cream. Everyone in the family was making it, from the kids to the grandparents. Now that's family.

Found a few extra tall ladies beside the house. A wee bit behind the rest on flowering but I'm sure they gonna bulk up some more.

Here some of the beautiful darker ladies that we came across. Some had tints of blue and purple in them and so many different flavours. Candy floss.....minty pine....skunky...so many...

Few more plants stretching for the sun. These are the darker ladies and were caked in crystals.

Here are the hands of a hard working lady. This woman was an expert in the art of cream making.
