Kashmir POK Expansion 2024

[firehead]

POK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) is how I’ll refer to this strain, formerly referred to as Azad Kashmir

Doing another expansion run, with a new batch of clean seeds from one of the original sources.

This variety has some unique traits that make it very desirable to growers looking for something a bit different.

Plusses:

• A very rugged plant! Good cold tolerance. Some drought resistance.
• Wild looking. As in, feral! Aggressive toothing on dark green, leathery leaves.
• Odd terpenes. Burnt rubber, eucalyptus, funky stank
• Very smooth smoke
• Complex and potent high that feels more like a sativa

Downsides.

• 11-12 weeks to flower
• Some are very leafy and trimming is a chore
• Herming. Yeah, It’s a wild domesticate/landrace, so this will always be a possibility

Only seven seeds were sent to me. As long as I get 100% germ rate, this should still be an ok population.
If anyone else has a pack of originals from barefrog and wants to donate to expand to gene pool, send me a PM

I will only cull plants from this small batch if they show SERIOUS genetic problems.

And into the pool they go!!

Thanks for preserving another interesting and undoubtedly an important line @firehead
I’ll be following along!

[Weednerd.Anthony]

Pulling up a chair, these will be amazing, good luck and happy growing!! @firehead

[Vesti]

Awesome - thanks for the tag!

Do you what generation they are?

[Upstate]

Are these the seeds that may be viral?
I had only a wierd yellow/ green leaf or two, and nothing else strange when i grew them, but there is reason to he fearful.

[DesertHeartGardens]

Awesome stuff pulling up the bean bag and bong Going to be a fun adventure

[firehead]

@Vesti he didn’t tell me which gen these seeds are from so I’m not sure. Maybe @Barefrog can shed some light.

It says on the linked post: Palestine Occupied Kashmir

I’ll be on a rug over here in the corner, with my hoohak

[Emeraldgreen]

Sitting in the corner watching! Very cool line to increase

[Piter]

All best wishes with your endeavor!!

I will take a chair-

[LonelyOC]

@firehead Oh yeah! Right person for the right job! I love the initiative for you to bring back the honor this gem on OG and move away from the scandal surrounding it.

I going to watch this one with joy.

@LonelyOC

I think it’s wonderful that @firehead is doing this reproduction so that the cultivar can survive and we can move on.

I can agree with this wholeheartedly, I appreciate @firehead winding it back to @Barefrog ’s accession and starting clean, it’s a very solid move for the community so we can leave behind this other seedrun

@LonelyOC

I’m sorry @Dirt_Wizard, it was not aimed towards you. I just don’t personally like when hypothesis is thrown around as truths, and I wanted to make a statement. Rereading it I see that it might have come across quite harsh towards your end.

Thanks man I appreciate that

[firehead]

We have signs of life! A few are sprouting. Fingers crossed for 100% in another day or so.
I think the beans are a bit cold, so I turned the temp up to 74 on my seedling heat mat… hope this wakes up the rest

[MyrtleGrounds]

Great way to end the year - with seeds a poppin’. I can’t wait to watch these gals grow.

[firehead]

So far, 4 of the POK sprouted in the paper towel, and so were moved into solo cups/soil.
A 5th seed was split open, and looked like it was about to throw a tail, so I put that one is soil also.
Just waiting on the final 2… fingers crossed for 100% germination

[Dirt_Wizard]

You got this OG! The coop run I just finished only had five plants make it out of 20+ seeds but they were great and made thousands of seeds, sounds like you’re already getting through the eye of the needle here

[Tykal]

Very happy to see this. Hoping to fold this line into an outdoor poly-sativa breeding project, so really appreciate you increasing it!

[firehead]

Well, looks like we only have 4 survivors.

One seedling died. And the last 2 seeds are not looking like they’re going to germinate. I haven’t tossed them yet, but I’m not hopeful at this point.

If I get 2M/2F it will still be alright.

But, in terms of a large-ish diverse pool, things are not ideal.
Oh well. Sometimes, we get what we get, and you just can’t get upset.
