Oh I loved your stories, thank you so much. I have that burning desire to travle the world to experiance new cultures and all. You make me want to go soo bad. Now if only I were rich enough to do all the traveling that I would like that would be great. We are working on going to Bolivia end of this month, still need a little money. Doing a humanitarian medical mission type of thing. should be a lot of fun. Would dearly love to do that in pakistan too. Ah well, maybe one day.

hi all, this is a great thread. i love to see these beautifull hash pictures and the hash cultures you have shared with the members of ic these are cultures on the fringe of extinction if new governments have their way with our freedoms. keep the pics and reports coming.

hi and peace to everyone and there families, sorryi have not been about for a while but i have been travelling

salaam Mriko and i hope u having a good ramadan my brotha, thanx for the information regarding travelling conditions to chitral, im going in 3 weeks inshallah , im also glad u enjoyed the pix

"hey this is homeland area for canaibs so thousands of pheno are there !"

U r so right again my brotha, while we where travelling in swat (hindu kush moatian range) we saw such a diverse number of phenos and strains scattered throughout that it was incredible ( more selction than a dam coffeshop lol) , we was given some seeds by friends from various areas who said the strains weher used for the last 14 years tomake hash and we picked other from plants that we saw that impressed all of which we collected. i Gave some seeds to friends who where looking for a 100% afghani but saw nothing on the market that tempted them, so i gave a selection of 25 mixed seeds away to various friends who got them underway, after a few no germs hereand there the results have been spectacular,my frienda have completed and choosen the phenos and strians, some of the most unique tasty and pungent weed i ihave smoked,, my friends adore them.

from upper swat valley the seeds produced wat my friends call a " real indica" short, squat, thck buds wiv that greasy taste and narotic high, wat we love to smoke for rainy days or bedtimes lol and soo tasty, mmmmm.

from tirich mir ( highest moanitan in hindu kush) the seeds thatwe where given i thought would bushy and short turned out to be taller slightly but longer flowering period, 67 days, soo spicy and like haze but not if u now whati mean and bami love this weed it gets u right in the eyes lol
il post some pix of the plants soon for u my friend

Very nice story and descriptions, smokaholic!!!!!!
Where, they store it in the ground, does the ground cool at night and then heat up during the day. If this is so, I wonder if this has an effect on curing? The Hash over in those parts are amazing. Once, when i had the pleasure of being in Damascus, hehe, I grabbed some of the hardest Blonde Leb I ever encountered. Heating it up, just burnt it ,so I would break it with a hammer into smaller pieces and smoke gram(s) size joints.
I never waisted so much hash in my life, but hey, $30US for a chunk of hash that filled the palm of my hand, I was a happy camper.

Peace

hi everyone and thanx for keeping this thread alive hehehe

XTbudda yes im positive that there is a change in temprature in the ground where they bury the hash, most of production is done nwfp of pakistan border areas with afghanistan, they days can get hot and at night towards winter the ground can freeeze over. Mriko r u out there to help clarify lol, i hope this helps xt, By the way i know exactly wat u mean when u say "i never wasted so much hash in my life" im afriad i been giulty of that to

Truecannabliss thanx for ure inpit my friend, and as u requested here are pix for u

Ill start wiv the real indica my friends and i loveabd who wil never leave the garden now lol, the seeds we from upper swat valley in the hindu kush and this is what they produced

great to see a Swat valley line make its first appearance here!

nice work,

Namkha

Well yes, for sure, temp variations plays some role. But better is to keep the resin in cool environment, so burying should be done deep enough fornot being influence by temp variations in the air. This is like wine definitely, for best, LONG curing need cool temp with very few varitations if not constant.

I had once left a 40 gr piece of Mazar charas in aziplock bag, stored for 2 month in a store room in Peshawar. Fiercely hot in there, minimum 50° in the pm (was in July/August). The hash was cooked slowly slowly, and turned from lightbrown to almost black color, and the smell had develloped an amazing cocoa scent, bwai !in the zip bag, I could see the oil which had leaked out of the piece here and there. Turnedd out nicely, but too long of this rough treatment would rahter proove unhealthy for the hash. Resin needs coolness to cure ideally and be turned into hash.

My, these a great looing plant you have here smokaholic ! Big thumbs up !

Irie !
