Landraces of India

Looking for your opinion on the 4 Odisha’s I have going.

3 fit the bill of super thin sativa leaf set, then this one odd ball with indica looking leaf set.

Is this common for landraces to express indica looking traits early on?

It’s not uncommon to show early fat leaves, but not mid growth onward. Something brings cbd to the table with odisha, maybe something Himalayan, thus fat leaves early. Just keep an eye on it.

Thanks, I only plan to veg for a couple weeks. I will stay on alert.

Really? I didn’t think about Odisha as a CBD expressive plant.
Is it common for Landraces to have higher CBD levels?
Maybe with them getting more UV from the higher elevations in Odisha’s original environment.

Uncommon for tropical landraces. Up to 3% cbd for Odisha. I think they mixed something local and Tropical with something Himalayan long ago. For this one, it’s supposed to be there if legit. Only other tropical I know of with cbd is Panama Red, a likely hybrid.
Cbd is common in the Himalayas, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and other nearby countries like Iran and Uzbekistan, Middle Eastern/ Turkish.

Damn, @Dirt_Wizard that plant has a mighty chunky stem, for being grown in such a tiny pot! Talk about over achieving :star_struck:

Very cool. Thanks for the information.
Really appreciate it! :sunglasses: :vulcan_salute:

Later down the road I want to run some Acapulco Gold and Panama Red.

Yea these Malana are really impressive with their vigor right from seed and the toughness I’m used to from an indica on a sativa frame. Pretty neat and I see why they call it sativa hashplant

It’s interesting to see what the plant can do in a healthy environment.

Two unsexed Odisha Valley from @Budderton

Really thin leaves on this first one. These are at 9 weeks still in 1gal containers as I’ve been waiting for them to show sex but they just don’t seem to be any bit of a hurry.

One female “Own Collection D” also from @Budderton

Two unsexed Kullu from Khalifa Genetics

These are about 14 weeks in and they’re still keeping their gender a secret. I’m pretty impressed with the one on the right as it had started out super slow and runty which is why I planted an extra one on the left.

One female Kullu in the middle that’s been cruising along it a 20 gal fabric pot. Might be tricky snapping some good pics with these plants so close together once they get larger.

Day 22
Up potted today from cup. Feed light nutes for the first time today. Topping soon at 5th node on all.
Two troublemakers in the beginning now corrected on newer growths. They will only be in these larger cups for two weeks maybe three depending on their overall health before going into 1 gal. Up pot again to 3 gal at 8-9 week of flower for root health.

Flip on 7/12 expected end of flowering 12/20ish

Thanks @US3RNAM3 they have been recently moved to a spot where it’s currently getting direct sun for about 6 hours and shade in the late afternoon now that we’re getting into some scorching heat.

Appreciate the kind words @iceman I just love these types of plants. I have a handful more Indian strains to work through over the next year or so that I’m really looking forward to.

All did great for getting topped. I’m behind schedule but they will get up potted in a couple days.


I haven’t seen branches grow like this before. Very cool trait on these plants.
