there are still many land races from India that have not been contaminated. We know so little about many of them. Until recently, I only knew of the Himalayan landrace Malana, the South Indian landrace Kerala( there are more than one which I didn’t know until last year) and manipuri. It turns out, there are probably hundreds more landraces( or at least old heirlooms) , and many of them have multiple different cultivars that have been grown by families for hundreds of years. A true Gold Mine of genetics, mostly unused in modern breeding in the West. Want to make something unique and new? Get yourself an Indian Land race you never heard of.

@Upstate That’s so true brother, so many pure landraces are grown in all over India by villagers and some passionate collectors of cannabis.

Hopefully @Shiv9545 can give us better pictures than these. These are some more Indian landrace heirlooms… one is from trimbakeshwar, and the other is from Matori.
One thing I have learned, is that genetics get passed around India the way they do here in the states. But instead of spreading around hybrids, they are spreading around their land races. So, sometimes, a landrace from the Hindu Kush ( or near it) may be found in southern India, or a South Indian landrace may be found in the North. That is the case with the Matori( the 2nd set of pics) Seeds were gifted at the Kumbmela celebration to a local Matori farmer, who has been growing them now for several years.
Another interesting detail I have learned is that Indian ganja can be remarkably short for a tropical variety. Pictures of Bengali Farms from the 1880s show plants near completion that are shorter than the farmers. Indian ganja Farmers have been taming these tropical beasts for perhaps thousands of years. A testament to the patience and skill of these farmers.

Man…can I send you some canadian seeds in exchange for some of your eastern landrace strains? Just kill the males so your true genes reign.

@Shiv9545 welcome.
I’m running a couple now from ILE. The Orissa Gold, and Sheelawathi. Also had their Eastern Manipur going but it had a few male flowers so it got the chop.
This is a shot of the Orissa Gold from yesterday. She’s been running for 4 months on 12/12 from seed. I figure she has another 6-8 weeks to go.

Do you find these stains are best topped or trained very early?..I only have 7 feet of headspace. That’s a clusterfuck of colas!!! Another 10 weeks to go?

Height can be controlled by limiting container size until the stretch period is over. Don’t go over 2 gallon until the stretch is nearly over if using soil. Lots of these Indian landraces and heirlooms get as wide as they do tall even without topping. Folding is a great option, but controlling container size is your best weapon

That’s a beauty you have there! Probably another month or so anyway… I haven’t heard of Orissa going over 20 weeks… …yet lol.

Lol…have a super silver haze in a 2 liter cutoff…lol…bitch grew 3 feet in 5 days…took her head off (about 14") to bring her back down to manageable height and hopefully bush out all the lowers. 2-3 weeks in flower…another 12+ weeks to go.
Edit… should have kept her in a solo cup i suppose…tall lanky…all sativa…buds are gonna be phat as phuq
