Hey y’all–anybody growing out the Real Seed Company’s “mountain ganja” accessions? I went with the Nepalese and had low germ rates, but three plants remain, and I’m hoping for some more seeds to play with next year. at 42N in New England, I think one of them has juuuust started showing signs of being a boy…
How about the rest of you?
Kumaoni from RSC was a very vigorous and wide-knoded plant. Would not advise growing indoors. I didn’t get to flower the 1 female though.
I will be groung it again under better circumstances.
It is from near the Nepal/India border i think.
I’ll pull up a chair as I have 12 NMG seeds left after trading the other half, but not sure when I’ll grow them. Thank you (and @sunra10) for sharing here. 
Okay so I lied.
I did not up pot yet.
Lots of rain with more to come. lol
These Nepalese Mountain Ganga seem to be doing okay.
Nice! Assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere, is it your plan to run them indoors?
Yes, I’m at 42 N in New England.
I would prefer to keep these outside and hope they finish before the cold of winter warrants an indoor finish.
I’ve got a few other strains
happening too and hope to post photos in one of the 2024 New England threads soon.
Well, I can confirm that results outside in-ground with no season extension were not inspiring. I wound up with three plants (a small sample size, to be sure) that just baaaaaarely showed sex before hard frosts came in. I really thought this might be the Goldilocks ganja cultivar, but it seems like we’ll have to keep hunting, cold-weather homies!
The males end up making pollen on time?
Unfortunately not 
The 6 smaller plants are dakshinkali Outdoors 7000ft 35° N on Jun 11th. There were 7 deer took one as a sprout.
Females will run full term outdoors, males will be culled but kept as clones for future seed reproduction.
I got this one growing outside on my balcony in South London
I somehow ended up with 75 of these seeds!
I wish I had a proper outdoor space to grow a bunch of these, i reckon himalayan landraces could do well in the UK.
Not according to Angus of TRSC, he reckons lebanese and close relatives are the best suited lines to grow in UK to finish well.
Yeah i reckon Lebanese would do really well too.
Anecdotally, at my latitude (42N, interior New England, USDA Zone 5b/6a), RSC Lebanese did great outside, except for a tendency for its grand beautiful colas to get botrytis just before harvest as things got colder and wetter. Syrian did somewhat better, but it was a different year, and might just have had to do with a lack of rain. Based on what I’ve heard about precipitation in the UK, I imagine this could be a similar issue for you all. I can also confirm that Malana Cream, Mazar-i-Sharif, and Tashkurgan performed beautifully for me, with no mold in sight, and even endured a few snows without problems. I’d endorse them all wholeheartedly. Kumaoni finished a little late for my tastes. Obviously, the northeastern US is not the UK, but the more data points the better?
Yeah I was thinkng along similar lines. Lebanese would do better in the UK due to it’s flowering time but would be more susceptible to rot. I also THink Lebanese cultivars have been selected for dry sift hash which isn’t so appropriate for the UK because it’s wet and Humid so I was thinking cultivars selected for hand rubbed charas would do well using the ice water method. Perhaps a cross between Lebanese and say Malana Cream would be the perfect answer.
Dakshinkali July 7th 35° N 7000ft.
Two were taken by ground squirrels 5 are left, they are starting to show sex right now.
They smell really floral currently, like feverfew crossed with marigold scent.
This is how my Nepali Mountain Ganja is getting along in the UK. It’s in a stealth spot on my balcony. No sign of sex yet.
Took a lil cut to keep around maybe do something with if i see potential in the plant.
Dakshinkali August 18th 35°N 7000ft.
Getting tall and looking like their getting ready to flower. These will definitely get a few frosts starting this late. Should be fine.
Boys and girls are still all up, looking like 2 girls and 3 boys. The boys will be cut down before they flower.
