With the growing interest in landraces and specifically the south east asian varieties surrounding Thai, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma, Korea, etc. I thought it would be helpful to have another thread that may aggregate more info - whether anecdotal or otherwise.
To kick it off, in the spirit of preserving these special lines I would like to offer up a 5pack of Cambodian Kirivong landrace ( Zomia) to a skilled preservationist (who is a known member of the landracer group* or freakers) willing to do what is necessary to extend the line pure. Maybe if we get lucky, somebody has some more of the same and we can pool resources for greater diversity in repro efforts?
Conditions: make seeds, share 'em - maybe if efforts are successful we can do a wiki and document some of the journey here for others to have as a point of reference
I have had many issues communicating with them. Very non responsive. As more landrace offerings start to enter the market I predict that their customer service/communications will improve.
Edit two: at this point, I’ve planned out my grow for the summer. Hope someone great picks this up.
I haven’t planned out my full summer grow yet (aside from my Auto breeding project) but I could make seeds if they wanna finish outside in Oregon Autumn.
I’ll select and shuck but someone else would need to manage distribution.
Edit: while I am able to do light dep in my raised bed my summer schedule will not allow absolute consistency. I don’t know how sensitive SE Asian Landraces are.
I grew out some cambodian cross. Khalifa has been trying to get the cambodian stabilized it seems
They sent me 3 fem seeds for free that are a Ace golden tiger cross with cambodian
These were great plants, one was quite large and had thick colas and a good high. Another was very small and not a great high just ok. The medium plants high was trippy and trancelike
Im.keeping seeds from her and starting them. They are a cross with pearl stem oaxacan sativa
