Hi! I hope everything is going well with the state of the world we live in!, So this is my introduction and also my first post so please forgive me for the long text if I fuck up somewhere .
So I’m Ras, I’ve been growing a couple years and also I grew up on an old school grower house, so after some time trying different hybrids and stuff, I ended up falling in love with breeding, which I started doing it last year, also on the other hand, this passion brought me to another amazing world, the pure landraces and it’s preservation, so here I will explain my project.
My main goal is to preserve old strains which are not common nowadays(and idk why some ppl dont like them), currently I’m working on the preservation of siberian ruderalis(also I’m studying them for using it to create some autoflowering hybrids with more balanced cannabinoid levels, but also to have some plants that can resist cold well), but also on the preserv. of old pure sativas, these ones I dont got much, but I’m looking into getting some old strains like lambsbread(any help would be appreciated), I will be uploading the diaries here as a way to improve my work and share it to y’all(even though im a begginer in this field), so any comment is accepted!, also I’m looking forward to do some exchanges as soon as I get the first batch of this run.
The strain list that I’ve got rn related to this project is:
Durban Poison
Ketama(brought from there by a guy I know, rn trying to stabilize them, since there is not much pure ketama left there)
Tropical mix from Ace seeds(not much of a pure landrace, but hybrids between them)
Siberian Ruderalis from Khalifa genetics
Currently I’m looking for:
Jamaican landraces(lambsbread, jamaican blue mountain, etc)
Colombian Punto rojo
Mango Biche
And any landrace tbh, I love them all
I will be giving updates on each of them, also I am open to collaborate on this type of projects and also open to get some collaborators, any help is appreciated.
Later on I will upload some photos of them
Best regards!!
Welcome to OG @Ras! We have a couple of landrace threads dedicated to locating sources and preserving worthy candidates. There are a lot of landrace loving people on here. You came to the right place.
It takes a week or so to get your permissions up and into place. Just visit threads and give and get likes and it’ll slowly open up for you.
Just ask anyone for help and we’ll get you pointed in the right direction. Have fun! we do. peace
Oh, and the search function can help you locate the info you seek. It’s up in the top right of the site. The 3 lines next to that will show you the categories on our forum.
Nice list! I can confirm @Foreigner suggestion of Ace seeds. I will be running Ketama as well, from ace seeds, this fall, along side Beldia Kif for a tradition Moroccan hash run. I also have just purchased Malawi from ace seeds for running directly after my Morroccan hash run. Hahaha i should call it my “ACE seeds in a hole” winter run
Nice goals. I just sprouted 3 Kumaoni reg . They are an after thought, figure I would add them into a pollen happening soon of some DJ gear. Cocoa Kush. I got the Kumaoni free with some Friesland from Kwik Seeds. Not sure how they will respond to the 1 gallon pots I am going to force them in, not well is my guess, i tried one last year grew too fast, straight bean-stock so I ditched it.
Found a lil write up on them. Kumaoni Marijuana Strain Information & Reviews | AllBud
@Floyd@AzSeaindooin420@GMan Thanks for the support!! I will check up as much as I can, I plan on doing this project also collaborating with other people, in the end this is something global and we gotta support each other!! Gotta bring back those old jems
@Foreigner@Jinglepot Definitely Ace is a nice one, currently im running the tropical mix from them which as far as I know its mostly Panama/Tikal/Malawi hybrids. I will upload some photos today. Also Jingle good luck on all of those runs! Would love to know more about them, if you have a thread about it send it here!
@Instg8ter For sure!! send me a PM and let’s talk about it, I also want this to be something open to collaborations, like a community thing, landraces should be available to everyone!!!
First of all thanks!
Well, currently I’m looking onto getting some double jam as a first big step towards those types of smokes, I will share more details as soon as I can. Also as far as I know many of the strains original to those caribbean islands share a common parental(anyone correct me if i’m wrong)
Thanks!!, Do you have a topic on it?? also that cocoa kush did you had a female or only male? in case yes what was the smoke experience?. About the 1 gallon pots, later you will see, but in indoors my main pots are at most 5L, in case it gets blocked to that pot you can just prune the roots, add new soil to the pot and done, in fact I did that yesterday to some of the plants that were on 2L bags. In case you haven’t done this and you decide to try, dont get discouraged if you see the plants down, give them some time, its stressful af for them, but also if the soil has some life and an organic feeding schedule it will recover faster ime
Nice!! I hope you get a good harvest from those!! Also good luck on the season! I’m also preparing some for it, for bud and to do some tests of the ruderalis crosses
