I recently made a trip out, my goal was to find seeds which could be verified as regional genetics (not just bag seeds - which I have brought home from Mexico in the past) I was able to connect with a local seed maker who specializes in regional Mexican genetics. (Hidalgo seeds) However they do not want to ship outside of Mexico - by the time I found them, it was already too late to connect in person as it was the end of my trip.
Now I am flying back seedless. However they said they would ship seeds if I have someone to forward them to Canada.
Is there anyone here who can help me out? I can gladly do a trade and or /shipping recovering payment.
Gotta be someone! Omg this is the stuff that is so important and Mexi on top! Yes PLEASE! Really hope you find someone bro, Iām in Canada too or Iād gladly help out
Might have even more luck exploring this thread, the more back and forth with Hidalgo seeds Iāve had the less assurance I have that itās regional genetics they are slinging.
Still talking about it - some of it is lost in translation I suppose.
Thanks to those who are seeking out a solution. If he has the right packs and Iām able to confirm a forwarder Iām sure Iāll be sharing these around. I have a special place for unique regional genetics and Mexico is a treasure trove: from cartel cultivars to small farmers who have been saving seed for generations. There is more gold to be discovered beyond āAcapulcoā .
Thanks to all who helped out here, Iāll keep everyone posted
Here is the message from Lalo, about his regional genetics. Lalo is the dude Iāve been in contact with through Hidalgo.
ā Good day, bro. We have two with what youāre asking for. The āArte Negroā that we created ourselves, and the āTuliman.ā We brought that genetics from the Sierra de Guerrero. The Tuliman is named after the place where we obtained the mother plant. ā
Somewhere over the past bunch of years I have heard of Hidalgo Seeds ā¦ might have been on icmag. It was positive.
I donāt know anyone down there unfortunately.
Hey, they use wats app. You can find them on Facebook. āHidalgo seedsā
Iāve been using a translator - they have other strains and just a couple regional.
I placed an order - didnāt make a payment yet - just waiting for instructions on how to pay. Their communication has been spotty. I may ditch this attempt here - looks like some OGmembers here already have a great Mexican landrace selection.
So far I donāt have enough to confidently vouch for Hidalgo.
Yeah, an OGāer who found this thread offered to accept the package / but the seed seller is now ghosting - no big deal tho. Lots of stellar Mexican genetics already held here on OG.
any takers?
