@allotment I will make sure you get a package of the offspring (provided a successful pollination) for guessing correctly.

Magu, depending on how things go, some of these may make their way over to the coop for distribution. 
Heck yeah! I’m still trying to finagle a way to grow some outside this year as well. In addition, I think I am going to try an throw a couple of other females in the grow for some outdoor varieties.

Nothing wrong with a bit of variety.

Sounds like a great landrace.

Coming from the region around Almaty, this could be the strain that gave rise to the Hindu Kush population eventually. For a while it was believed cannabis made it’s start in this region. New pollen evidence has moved the location to Qinghai Lake, but I would not be surprised at all if that changes at some point soon as well. No doubt we are in the ballpark region where cannabis first arose
These are from a “private collector”. I’m really stoked to see some green! They are looking really good @PlantShepherd. I could have sworn I set this thread to “watch”, but I’ll do it now.

Hey Upstate! That’s super cool about the Hindu Kush. I still have like five seeds from a Baharak x Andarab Hindu Kush I made. I need to take some new pictures of the Mongollian. I checked last night, and I have five females and four males.

Perfect split (m/f). 
looking forward to fresh pictures
Its just my theory. Genetics may have gone in the opposite direction too. They are certainly related closely. Strong head high followed by a body high. Thats Kush to a " T".

Hey all, I’m sorry for the long over due update. The Mongolians were put into flower on July 5th, although I had a couple timer issues the first week. I did get the females transplanted, but I did not get them sprayed for thrips. The males are flowering a little faster than the females. I’ll collect pollen and dust accordingly if they are not ready the same time as the females. So far, they have a really strong structure and seem like any normal poly hybrid.

Very cool! They definitely look typical, but certainly are not. Can’t wait to see some buds. Any stem rub smells yet?

Hey Upstate! The females are really taking their time to cue up for flowering. Pretty sure I’m going to have to collect pollen and dust when the females catch up. I’m terrible at smells, but I rubbed a stem last night, and they definitely have a sweet smell that seems old school kinda familiar. I really like how they are stacking up. So far, they look like they will have some real potential for full season.

I’m surprised how big they are. Nice branching when topped. Anything untopped?
Old school is good😁

They are pretty stout imo. Branches are sturdy and even. They aren’t finicky at all - really easy to grow. The only thing untopped are the males, but they are also in much smaller pots.
I also have a couple of Project 25 S1’s originally from Copa Genetics stock, Project 25 x Peanut butter breath (Thug Pug), and an Ice cream cake x animal mints cross that will get pollinated in hopes for some full season genetics.
