Landrace Adventures

[Tictok]

Using this to keep a log of the next experiment, the attempt to create F1 hybrid vigour from two genetically different landraces.

This has been inspired by Swami Organic Seeds Potcast where he mentions a strain called "The One" which was a cross of a Kandahar Afghan with a male Thai.

So at best, a new strain will be created, at worst it will be an experiment in growing my first landraces.

All seeds are from The Real Seed Company.

We have Kandahar Afghan Landrace

Kandahar is supposedly where the squidgy Black hash came from which takes me back a bit (and is slightly exciting).

3 seeds popped, 100% germination, looking for a good female.

Then for the Thai we have Highland Lau ..

Never grown a pure sativa before, expecting tents to be taken over and herms if I get girls which should be fun.

Soaked 4, only one popped (putting it down to me soaking them too long, not the seeds, will pop more as need that male).





There will be fewer updates as this is going to take a while. The actual pollination may well occur on a second run of cuts.

The experiment is technically flawed from the outset as I have no room to properly pheno hunt many males and females, so we'll call it pollen chucking at best.

These will be grown in organic soil with some KNF amendments to keep them happy.

Cheers for checking it out.

Hi Tictok .Can you tell a seed description nerd what the seeds looked like colouring size..etc ..cheers.Did they have that oversized ridge?

Don't get your hopes up too much @keeno ! This is stupidly new territory, so it could easily go left field.

Full steam ahead!

Ignore the black desiccant balls, but you are right, they do have an over sized ridge.

From the website.."These Kandahari seeds are a reproduction of the original accession made in 2019. Viability tested at 100%, but allow up to two weeks for seedlins to show."

All three of mine popped within three days in paper towels, then broke ground 24hrs later.

I buggered up the Lau germination, soaked them to long, but the one survived and there were are a few bonus seeds in there.

We have some Landrace seeds in the forum stock. I'll have a look tomorrow. I think they are Afghan.
