Tirah Valley, Pakistan Landrace grow

I’m gonna say no… but before taking my word for it, you have to consider whether I’m just trying to trick you into believing that you don’t have trust issues so that you’ll continue distrusting official sources. Then I can give you my own version of events and get you to act according to my agenda. :wink:

Lol , that the messed up part is I ain’t ain’t taking No body’s word for it , I don’t even trust my momma bro, lol but that said, I believe it goes back thousands not hundreds , I believe it was the Atlantians / the sea faring civilization from preNoahs flood , I think that’s who originally spread the plant across the planet but it’s only theory, the history of the planet is much older than we have been told I know that for sure anyways, I’m not trying to cast shade or doubt the info is probably correct I just believe it goes back waayyy farther than that.

Their icewater hash extraction predates ours by a very long time and Its only practiced in a small area. Got the info from IG from one of the landrace pages from a local that lives where its practiced. That’s all i know.
I’m guessing that’s where we Westerners learned how to do it and not vice versa. Can’t recall if this ice extraction method is from Afghanistan or Pakistan.
When you think of it, over there cold temps are ALWAYS waited for to aid in resin removal from plant matter. Typically the crop is cut and plants are stacked outdoors in rows with one bunch supporting another bunch so that they stay upright.
Once first snow arrives, hash making commences after the plants have dried back out.
Therefore the jump to using ice and or icewater isn’t such a big one at all.
@drgreensleeves i get most of my info from boots on the ground so to speak. I always prefer learning from the locals.

That’s what’s up! I knew I could count on you for your due diligence there is nothing new under the sun, I could get way off on a tangent, but not going too :slight_smile: y’all will really think I’m crazy then lol I’m just saying like the Perry Riece map (I probably spelled that wrong) ," There be Dragons "

@drgreensleeves. Strange spelling…Piri reis’s map😁 very familiar.
Shows rivers in Antarctica that we have just now recently REdiscovered with ground penetrating radar. So much we don’t yet know about our ancient past. Used by a Turkish Admiral in the 1400’s but could be much older.
Shows location of Atlantis to be in Mauritania.
Let’s divert any traffic about this topic to where it better belongs😁 its a great topic that easily distracts me. .Lost Civilizations: Before the known

I’m not used to the fatty leaves lol. Very pretty. The last photo is the narrowest of the bunch.
Damp off plants are indistinguishable from the others and I don’t even know which plants had it now.
There are some real stinkers already amongst the seedlings. Brushing up against them releases the smell. a strong weed smell sums it up…plants are too short for a stem rub atm. They are in half gallon pots to restrain them for now. Once the Peshawar go into flower i will up pot these for a couple or few weeks and then flower. I need to get cuttings before then.

Got some maple leaves in the mix there! What are the odds you got primarily “indica” expressions here you think?

@Mrgreenthumb and @LegsMahoney since this is the amalgamated( mixed/ hybridized)Tirah it will be both Indica and Sativa effects. Its a mix of The Afridi Sativa and greater area landraces genetics such as Chitral, Peshawar, Nuristan and likely others that have since stabilized and become its own landrace/ heirloom. So this one is a Hindu Kush melting pot so to speak. The leaves will narrow as the plants grow and the Sativa half of the equation will become more predominant in time, but it will end with both Sativa and Indica phenos.
@LandraceWarden thankyou! I’m very happy with the plants.

Very interested to see how this strain goes, how much stretch in flower, flower time is it a nutr hog or not, how well it likes indoor growing

Flowering time is 9-10 weeks ± a week. Fertilizer will be unnecessary aside from chicken poo and castings added to a good gerden soil.

I’m excited to see what the mix shakes out to be. Any plans on separating the seeds relative to their parent’s phenotypic type when it’s all said and done? Or just putting everything into a big mixed bag?

Yea no doubt, wonder what will be the more preferred pheno

I’ve grown several afghani and pakistani cultivars that’s been this way. Finding the extremes are always exciting. I hope you get something unique to add to your collection :heart:

I might leave this one alone. It sounds perfect the way it is. I’m thinking this one will be some good nightime relief for pain. As i work thru the generations I’ll separate out the cbd phenos for a second line. Overall this cultivar is thc dominant with a 3:1 thc/ cbd ratio reported in oil made from it, while most South Asian landrace cannabis is closer to 1:1 thc/ cbd ratios.
There will be some good plants to be found for sure. I’ll keep an uppity type and a sleepy type.
