Found some powdery mildew on the plants. Took care of it by spraying the veg with soap nuts and the flower with 9.5 ph water. Got to keep it organic :bigjoint:

Got the heatsinks in the mail! Also got some Pakistan Chitral straight from Pakistan untouched by modern breeding programs. Should be some nice high CBD plants in there. Our collection just keeps growing. So far as straight from the source landrace varieties go we have:

Four types Himayalan Strains used for making Charas from multiple valleys of the Himalaya spanning India and Nepal

Pakistan Chitral

Afghan/Pakistan Peshawar

Two types from the border of India and Burma the difference being one is a Lowland variety and the other Highland.

Chinese

Lebanese

Egyptian

Some African varieties from Seeds of Africa which makes it sound like it is direct from the source but I am not 100% sure

Malawi Gold

Mozambique

Also was able to acquire some Bhutanese from Malberry before their website went offline a few years ago. Again not sure if they are direct from the field but had to have it. After all, Charas strains are one of my favorites and Bhutan is a wonderfully unique country.

We have even more landraces but it would take some time to look through them and compile a complete list. Will post a complete list later :mrgreen:

Nice! Landrace is unparalleled in my experience, have had some experience with Ace, attempted to cultivate their Panama 74' which is the Red and Green mixed together, just when she started to really produce some resin she succumbed to spider mites as Panama strains are magnets for them so watch out! Didn't have an issue with them until I grew her, almost like she pulled them into the tent. Amazing sweet lemon scent though. Hoping she works for you :grin:

Bought two Guatemalans from them as well 2 years ago and ended up with only one surviving and it was male so used it to pollinate some Afghan that a friend's brother collected while serving in Afghanistan. Still haven't tried growing out that cross out as we haven't had outdoor space and I believe landrace needs to be outside.

Also used a Malawi Gold from Holy Smoke to Pollinate those Afghans :mrgreen: Need to try those out still. The phenotypes I found in that Afghan were definitely high CBD so really excited about the spectrum of cannabinoid profiles in these crosses.

Frosty ladies!


And thanks for the tips with your experience. luckily (knock on wood) mites are nearly as problematic here - at least not yet anyway. in cali seemed like I saw mites all the time, and were a bitch to get rid off. I have seen a few spots of spider mites in the 2 years I been growing up in oregon now, and everytime just spraying the usual preventive stuff (neem / spionsad ) and were gone. think its just less heat, and harsher winters keep the numbers more in check.

Yeah california has a lot of mites I have heard but I have only had them twice. Seen more thrips and fungus gnats than anything else. I do a soil drench with soap nuts and neem oil to get rid of that and it works well and all natural. What brand of neem do you use?

It can be used for blemishes and other skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema, insect bites, burns, to disinfect wounds, and so much more. That is just the oil. Leaves, bark, and twigs have many uses as well. We cannot extol the benefits of the neem tree enough. It truly is deserving of its Indian name, the village pharmacy.
