Threw this out there on the Lebanese thread, but I have some Nanda Devi #2 that is too big for me to grow. Iā€™m on the hunt for landrace Kush or Afghan like Chitrali or Mazari, also looking for Iranian and Turkish at the moment.

Anyone wanna trade lunches?

Iā€™m guessing the hash makers in Tirah know which phenotypes make for the different effects, which ones have the more ā€œupā€ or ā€œsativaā€ effect and the more narcotic ā€œindicaā€ effect.

@LandraceWarden will know that. I think based on looks alone itā€™s hard to tell in a mixed crop. Tall plants with Indica highs and short kush plants with sativa highs break the normal rules. Iā€™m interested to know. I think they just harvest the whole field and its the different fields that have the different effects, depending on farmer selections.

Itā€™s from an isolated area in a region with countless microclimates. Anything is possibleā€¦

Tirah valley, has different villages where the cultivation is present, mostly the expressions are result of natural selection which improves over generations. The only human influence is culling of early flowering males which becomes labor intensive as the cultivations are not small and becomes crowded. Different locations are found to have different plant morphologies separating them among other villages. There is not much focus on selections in The region due to its mass production for hashish they focus more on pilling up flower mass.

Mass production, indeed. Itā€™s somewhere around 100 tons a year. Wow.

Itā€™s 100 tons of resin, meaning more than 1000 tons of flower.

If youā€™re ever in the western mass area, Iā€™d be glad to show you some historic sites. One nearby is Old Deerfield, where Indians massacred every single person in the town, except for one small boy that had hidden well. There were hiding places built into the homes, but the Indians found out about them. There is still a tomahawk embedded in a door on display. Many old houses had Indian look out ā€˜cupolasā€™ that looked like thisā€¦

Many are still found on houses in Northfield, MA. and towns throughout New England. Northfield is 15 mins from here and a other historic town where both Indians and uprisings made history.
Iā€™m sure we could not only find you a few stone walls, but perhaps even find you a piece to send home with a story to tellā€¦
