When people speak of exotic cannabis, that is what I see in my mind.

Making a thc dominant line can be done in several+ generations using test strips. In nature 25% of the plants will be thc dominant, 50% thc cbd mixed ratio, and 25% cbd dominant. It’s the same for almost everything found at higher latitudes( 29+) in South Asia. Basically it’s like working a landrace Afghan or Pakistani strain, though a champion from Nepal would be unlikely to contain a thc level as high as Afghan/ Pakistan would contain. Maybe 11% as opposed to 17%( seen 24% once) or so. But it should be the same effort to make a thc dominant line. To find one of equal thc% is probably what people are referring to as being difficult, but even a lower thc Nepal can be really good from what I’ve read.
Yes, mostly, but I found a ganja strain recently. Might be unrelated to Terrai strains.
I’ve got that sherpa strain. Supposed to be rocket fuel. Whatever helps those guys climb mts, I want to smoke it😁
@royal I have some Kumaoni from Sadhu seeds i can send… It has good germ rates.

That’s my point
Not easy get a Nepali decent enough for smoke use only

Yes, Reeferman Nepali was truly good
Small type bush plant, not indica type but also not tall lanky sativa form.
The production and buds was nice
Deep smell honey hash smell and magnificent potent!
Some says it already was crossed with Northern lights…
On my old seeds collection i had a cross between this reeferman “Nepali” and a really good Michoacán strain with deep lemony smell and very cerebral high
Unfortunately i never was able to try it

I am holding my reeferman nepali, as the last seeds to pop this year - I am confident they will germinate, and I’d rather know which landraces are coming…

What are the characteristics of this pheno? Why is it called rat tail I guess I’m asking? Amazing plants BTW!

Each leaflet has its teeth, or serrated. In some varieties, towards the tip of the leaflet the edge becomes smooth without teeth. That toothless tip of each leaflet reminds me of a rat’s tail.
If you look at the largest leaf in the foreground, its leaflets end in a very long point without teeth. that’s the rat tail. hehehehehe. It’s just a name I gave to that trait.

I have been trying Shiv’s Nepali kadmandu and the males were all intersex and one female gave female flowers on the top and male flowers on the bottom. I was left with three females, which so far is the only stable sex in those Nepalese, but if they produce male flowers they will fall. I think it may be the pots, because Nepalese plants are giant plants and they need mother soil, although I could be wrong.

Do you need any special climate conditions for that landrace?

Don’t kill them
Try to made seeds with all
Later with better conditions can express stable plants.

I don’t think they are needed special conditions, but I do think that a giant, semi-wild sativa needs deep soil or a large container. not medium pots.

Bro, I think I didn’t give them the soil conditions and that triggered intersexuality, but the plant that expresses hermaphrodism in general increases the hermaphrodite tendency of its line, which I learned in blood years ago. I have some seeds left, I will save them for when I can plant them in mother soil.
When I reproduce a line of seeds from another person and at that person’s request they ask me to include Hermis. I will . But in reproductions for me of seeds that are sold, I will not include hermies, I know how difficult it is to work with those genes, especially if they are recessive.
It is true that some intersex are more potent than dioecious cannabis. and sometimes more resinous.
As for the most resinous, it is true that sometimes the good resinous ones remain in the same loci in the genome as the hermaphrodite genes and cannot be separated.
but normally they can be separated, but you have to work. and no one does that and those lineages are lost anyway because no one wants to deal with that intersexuality that could ruin other projects.
The unusual potency shown by some intersexuals, I think, could be due to boron in pollen, which is a trace element that improves brain activity, therefore it has entry and functionality in the brain, therefore a strong candidate to be an effect enhancer.

That is true. Semi-wild plants should be in the ground. Perhaps it is possible to decrease the soil space with each generation, over time. Working the way into a 5 gallon pot.

Shiv’s kashmir is supposed to be semi-wild and in a pot, so far it has not shown intersexuality, we will see how it behaves.
The two Shiv kashmir plants that I have are female, the most advanced one does not smell like anything, but when you rub its stems a more noticeable smell of nothing appears hahahahahahaha.
The later one just shows its first stigmas but its stems
When rubbed they smell like a sweet and pleasant citrus, although soft, at least at this stage.

I think you are correct. They need space. Many times I see no herm traits until plants are potbound. Transplanting in small steps can help prevent this sometimes.

I think if you are able to do so, this is the way forward.
I get stressed by early summer heat. By late summer, there is no longer the same stress. The heat(.above 80 lol) is the same, but I’m used to it. In a similar manner, once plants get used to something considered stressful by them originally, such as limited root space, they may also stop expressing hermie traits associated with this stress. It all comes down to what kind of hermaphrodite you are dealing with. True intersex need to be tossed. Stress hermies can be fixed. Old Silversides (Oaxaca)is a slight stress hermie. Her offspring in crosses are all stable, and in 2 generations of breeding her inbred children, they have almost entirely lost the hermie trait. One, maybe 2 more generations and I’ll have a hermie free Silversides line. Ask me if it’s worth it😁
Good idea. I’d start with 5 gallon and lower to 3 and then maybe 2 gallon. If I were able, I’d go bigger. 10, 7, 5.
