I will definitely have to check their seeds, also im eager to get into the landrace trusted sellers topic(if someone will point it to me out, ik i have to get to some rank first but when it comes i mean), the china ones are definitely on my list, but damn, im seeing my self only going with landraces 
, im going to need some workers! 
What is MLSN?(im hella bad at acronyms)are you taking clones on those plants?
Kumaoni grows tall, as you know. Try training the plant around the edge of the pot in a corkscrew…around and around…until it begins to branch. Start in solo cup for 3 weeks, then half gallon, gallon, then maybe 3 gallon for the finish. Keeping the plant in each container size until just before being potbound can really control the height. If you go straight to one gallon the plant will go for the moon. …
You might find this is good for more than breeding…it can be a great smoke and buds can fill out On occasion. Lots of wild types too and these are firewood…literally. interested to see how you make out. Hope you get some good ones.

training the plant around the edge of the pot in a corkscrew" That should be fun. great advice and pics. a lot more interesting looking buds than I even expected. there is a chance all three will be male, than i can cross it with out having to grow and wait for it bud in its purest genetic form.

@sedin too…
The pics are from Instagram. Sadhu seeds, out of India. Those are plants he found while growing out seeds he collected(and making more seed). Obviously he shows the best plants, but they are in there. Flowering was only 10 weeks with the purple one. Usually a couple weeks longer. He gives a smoke report on IG. Nice guy. I’ve successfully ordered from him.

oh a seed company i got a free blueberry fem,MSLN ( totally got the name wrong, ordered once from them) let it in a room with some Jordan of the island blueberry muffin.
I’m also looking to get started preserving land race strains if anyone has any they can part with I would truly appreciate it…I am a Survivor of spinal chord compression right at 2 years on 4.21.2022 with 6 inches of donar femur fused to my spine as well as 12 titanium rods 6 on each side and cannabis jas literally saved my life I take absolutely 0 painkillers and this is all with the healing power of cannabis… I still have pain but it’s managable…while I was healing I found out im rather good at growing and my seed bank is slowly growing but I am a thc enthusiast and want to preserve the roots(beginnings) of these magical genetics… and ofcourse I would gift anyone back with a generous amount of seeds

Well man, im really sorry to hear that! I hope its going better now!, I would love to help, but rn im making the seeds, tho if you can prove your condition im more than willing to help brother(sorry for not being confident but you know the world is crazy nowadays)! also you may look into another cannabinoids like cbg, or maybe try some 1:1 ratio on a full spectrum oil

I have a few Nepalese hyland hash landrace. And a hybrid mc mango x nevals sativa. I also have some ubc chemo first gen before it was messed with. I have some old school strains if you’re interested in doing some trading. I’ve been growing for 25 or more years. I like the old school strains

For sure!! just one thing for everyone doing a trade, the seeds are in process, the ones I will get earlier they will be ruderalisxzkittalicious auto, which it would be a thc:cbd 2:1 strain, aprox 2-4%cbd ~10%thc,
they will be done probably in a month or so as I’m pollinating her now, the male is a ruderalis male(purple pheno)

A quick update on some of the plants!, all of the ruderalis I first put are flowering, I’m going to use them to get seeds, the buds later will be used for oils, the 3 ones are doing well on this 10L pot, they are still small, but this strain it grows quick, but it has to get past the start.
About this tropical mix, they already showed the pheno, this evening I will number them by it and will keep record.
All the pllants are doing really well, oh! and I forgot the specs of the light:
- Chinese LED 240w dimmed to 60% (I think the chips are Samsung LM301B), it has the red light boost off.

Today is day of pollination day! Pollinating zkittalicious auto female with the purple male I had indoors, it will be pollinated, let there rest 3-5hr, spray with water and then back to the room, i will repear this again in 3 days(sorry for the mess 
)

I’ve heard some Durban Poison have pink pistils, and was even looking on the internet for some photos of it. Very nice. It seems like pink pistils on sativas is unusual; it’s usually more common on Afghan indicas.

Durban Poison most Americans know that was created in the 70s has Indica genetics in it

That’s no surprise. Preserving landrace genetics was not as important back then (or so it seems), and indica genes do increase vigor and yield. I wonder if they were able to maintain at least a similar cannabinoid profile when they Kush’ed up sativas.

I think I have a pretty full picture of what may have happened regarding Durban Poison. There is definitely a Durban Poison in Africa, and apparently it has been known by that name quite some time, and definitely before the same name was used by the San Francisco breeder in the 70s that claims to have made the Durban Poison Americans know. Knowing that the flowering time of the true Durban landrace is in the neighborhood of 18 weeks, it makes sense then that hybridization occurred either in San Francisco or in Africa to acheive the remarkably fast Durban phenos which flower 8 weeks.
