Been reading lots of info about landrace strains and I'm in the dark about what this is? A new strain? Or is it like indica? or sativa? Help please!

It could be either most landrace indica strains are in the nothern hemisphere,the landrace sativa's are mainlt equatorial and in the southern hemisphere.The most simple way to descibe a landrace strain is its born of nature,it had and has no human tampering.Finding true landrace strains today might be a big order,us humans have come along and "improved" on them lol

It is estimated that there are between two and twelve different cannabis strains growing wild in countries that have not culled the plant. These wild strains, known as landrace strains, are often cultivated by local residents. The Afghani plant, which has been used by many a cannabis plant breeder to create strains like Kush, Master Kush and the Hash Plant, is a well-known landrace strain.

Landrace refers to a race of animals or plants ideally suited for the land (environment) in which they live. they often develop naturally with minimal assistance or guidance from humans (or from humans using traditional rather than modern breeding methods), hence are usually older, less modern races.

...but also important is to know what is an IBL (inbred-line)
every landrace is an IBL but not every IBL is a landrace. for example bubblegum was a hybrid and than inbred till F5 generation ...so it is an IBL... but obviously not a landrace. every landrace is a pure line, so inbred only (never hybridized)

It's also important to know about the ibl because you can get a landrace and than work with it in an other country...so it's not more a landrace but still a pure-line. For example Deep chunk (afghani hashplant) ...this one was a landrace with the origin in Afghanistan ..and later it was heavy-worked in California from TomHill (selections for potency & flavor) ..but only in-line bred, so it's still a pure hashplant afghani.

Thanks for clearing that up. I need to get some pure strains then! I also have another thread about growing Durban Poison in this forum that I could use some help on.


Thanks again!


PS-Very Nice pics!

Great info XyZ!!

God, can you imagine just standing downwind of those fields when they are really RIPE? Makes me want to faint!

I wonder how often he has to water those monsters in the Walmart special pots?
