I’ve been studying hard around 4 years. I’m a bit obsessive about learning. Moving from one subject to the next since my early 20’s. It’s been mostly different history topics, so weed history falls right into place. I’ve been able to make some connections about genetics movement because of all my History reading, but a lot of what I have learned lately has come from my incessant questioning of friends that know more than I do. My teachers. Its fun meeting people that live in other countries and I love to pick their brains about the genetics they are most familiar with. @ShivamGrover is very knowledgeable about Indian genetics, as is @Shiv9545, who I got the seeds from. Recently I’ve been chatting with a Southeast Asian expert. Everything I have learned is pointing to the fact that India is the mother country of many of the world’s genetics. This is the place more than any other that genetics need to be gathered from IMO. Between the British, the Portuguese, and the Dutch, Indian genetics have been moving around the world for over 500 years.
Nearly all of the Indian seeds will be pure Sativa. Just Kashmir and possibly Matori could be called Indicas. If Matori is an Indica, it has incredible moisture resistance now after 5 years being grown in the tropics.
I’m sure the others won’t forget about you if they make some more seeds.
Many years ago the wife and I went to Grand Cayman for our honeymoon. When we came back through Atlanta, they took my green coconut, and said that I couldn’t have it because it might grow. I said I was from Nebraska, and it wont grow long. They still took it.
Absolutely. 
I’ve already had several people offer me seeds from their buy, but they weren’t strains I’d ordered, and I didn’t want to take a strain I passed on from someone who wanted it.
There are several people who bought the same strains who have promised me seeds. 
First time Customs has got me. I ordered a 25 pack of JOTI last year. They could’ve got that one but noooo.
The way they were labelled, you needed a key to tell which strains they were, so they can’t sell them. That’s all the silver lining I got man. 
I gotta tell you man, I’m glad you’re a Freak. 
Wow. The genetic potential from all kinds of great highs to remedies for everyday problems to miracle cures for severe illnesses that may be hidden somewhere in these seeds brings me tears of joy. Amazing treasure you got there.
Indian pot is very unique because it hasn’t always had all of the CBD pulled out of it. The only tropical landrace outside India I can think of that has any appreciable amount of CBD in it is Panama Red/Colombian Red. ( there are probably others) I think there is still some CBD to be found in Southeast Asian varieties as well, but it’s not as common as it used to be. When we can get these seeds before they have been bred by westerners, we are basically getting access to an indigenous Medicine Chest. Who knows what cures are in them. And a little bit of CBD helps the quality and length of high.
And just like that you had my full attention. You had most of it anyway but that sentence focused the rest. CBD makes my highs and medicating much more balanced and enjoyable at times. I’ve mixed CBD hemp with weed, I’ve had high CBD strains, and I’ve taken a hit of the hemp if things got a little too dicey when I first started smoking again. All of that works great but there has to be a difference when the cbd is inherent to the plant rather than bred into it and how it works with the natural profiles of the plant. Definitely interested to see what you get out of these!
@Upstate nice find good selection
for me its different I cant stand most of pot nomore.
Any pot i smoked: Hemp, yes Hemp, Hybrid indica , HybridSativa , all doesent feel right. The first time i got enjoyable high since years was when i finally managed to get Landrace of my Taste.
When i de-seeded Vietblack and de-seeded HoabacVietnamese one Evening it was the first Time since decades i felt slightly Calm. Nothing makes me more calm than Landrace. (no smoke report, just Finger-absorbtion)
Also last year i de-seed Hoabac alone, it also was good feeling.
So, i cant rule out CBD makes me calm, but since i felt similar calm on a pure slendor this Sativa loong ago, i suspect CBD doesent help at all. Since that pure Sativa was the most anxietyfree calm weed i ever smoked.
I didnt forget the Feeling i had back then, and was strongly reminded when feeling the Vietblack together with Hoabac.
All that matters, is if its a Landrace, an old one. That is whats the essence i think.
Some people still couldnt stand the pure Sativa Landrace, and it depends on Personality. BUT they probably are just more into Indica-Landraces. Or something in the middle. Like Nepalese… Or Lebanese…
But nothing is as calm as a Landrace , often people just dont know it, they never smoked Landrace. Its strange. Cause its the solution if you feel uncomfortable. Landrace is sideeffectsfree
That’s very true. If you are the type of person that gets uncomfortable when you smoke pot, then some landrace is your friend you haven’t met yet.
Before I learned about landraces, I did lots and lots of reading of pot magazines. High Times, Skunk, Cannabis culture, Weed World and Treating Yourself. I bought nearly every Edition for well over 20 years, ( treating yourself didn’t exist that long ago )reading cover to cover.
I was under the impression that to find a high-cbd strain, or a medicinal strain of some sort, that I would have my work cut out for me for breeding, or I would have to spend a lot of money to purchase someone else’s work, more than likely in feminized form. I had no idea that every cannabinoid profile Under the Sun is already made by Mother Nature. You just have to do your homework and find out which region of the world has what you are looking for. For nearly everyone interested, there is something out there that you will enjoy smoking or ingesting.
I bet if someone is unconfortable, and he tries: Pakistani, Nepalese, Vietnam, and a Columbian.
Then im very convinced every type person will find the kind weed he always searched for.
Some People are more Indica lovers , some in the Middle then try Nepalese, some are Sativalovers. Im shure you find your kind Weed in one of those, if theyre good Representatives of the Country.
Per exampe Angus from Realseedcompany discovered his love for Landr. in Nepalese. You can clearly hear how he was emideatly turned on by the spectacular Effect of a good Nepalese. For me it was the same, once i smoked a good Sativa, a really good one: i knew there is more.
Some of those named regions can all have very strong Weed. Pure Indica i smoked once, my secound favorite. I liked that its such a freakish feeling. It was so impressive . Thats how i like it: freakish… when youre really on. Im not talking of weak Weed…
hahahaah Thanks for the shoutout @Upstate, all my knowledgeable comes from traveling and through being curious just the way upstate is, well i don’t really know much about cannabis history but for sure Indian cannabis is very old, i am 100% certain that out of 29 states/regions in India, all of the regions grow cannabis though cannabis was banned in 1984 it still is a huge part of our society, definitely seeds travel just the way commodities do, so some plants are very similar, like plants in Tripura are very similar to Manipuri. Plants in Chhattisgarh are very similar to Orissa and so on. What is Matori i have never heard about that.
Good to have you here Shivam. Matori is a transplanted variety that used to be grown in the NW of India/ Pakistan. Maybe Kashmiri, maybe Pakistani. Looking for a picture now.
How do I sign up for this?
Aint nothing to sign up for
That’s very interesting I have never heard about that, cannabis in kashmir has such a huge market that if you don’t go there you don’t get anything
Hey @Upstate. When I was bitching about root aphids, you sent me a link to a place that has some treatment stuff. I thought I bookmarked it, but I can’t find it now.
Can you send me that link again?
Thanks buddy.
Are you sure that was me? I remember the conversation and I thought somebody else sent you that link. When I get home I’ll check my book, and I’ll send you a picture of what it says. I remember thinking it was white flies. What thread were we in when we were talking about that?
Ohhhhh now that I see, I know about matori it’s in Nasikh district and I know about Ujjain as well, indianseeds97 is very right about sadhu’s giving away seeds, I myself have had some crazy experiences with sadhu. Plus kumbh ka mela is a hugeeeeeeeee gathering all about God shiv, religious prayers, and cannabis. It happens every 12 years. Though I suppose these seeds did not come from kashmir surly north of India but not kashmir.
