Japan has Dosanko,Aomori,Nagano,Nara and more other landrace strains.

Hi!

You can get some Japanese Obi and Japanese Dosanko (both landrace indicas) from BreedersChoice in their site:

EDIT: google "cannabiseye" and it's the first result (didn't knew we can't share links...)

If you grow them don't forget the report :)

Somebody claims that all the cannabis in Japan is from the bird feed that was imported and there are no real japanese strains.

I would say thats highly unlikely, as there are cave paintings in Kyushu showing weed leaves, that are pretty fricken old. At least, I`d wager that they were done before any importing of bird feed was going on. I`d post the pic but no uploads are possible with the update going on.
Even if you question the validity of the paintings, the hemp culture here is so old and so tied in with the old religion that I reckon its been here before imports were going on.

Certainly possible that strains from imported seed could have been inadvertently crossed with the local stuff and gone wild though.
Who knows, migratory birds could have dropped seeds from China or other parts of Asia hundreds of thousands of years ago (or yesterday), or any other vectors.

I think what the guy was saying was what existed before in Japan was just hemp and that dosanko came from imported seeds. Personally I don't really understand why people would want dosanko.

Sorry for the delay, I don`t post on the weekends.

All pics from my own grow were deleted from my phone when I put it in for service. Better safe than sorry.

Heres some pics from Japan:

lol, no shit eh? You see a lot of Bousans getting arrested for growing taima instead of asa. I guess they figure that nobody will tell the difference.

I actually have a soft sport for dosanko, used to smoke a lot of it years ago. Looks like shit though, airy buds that are kind of harsh, but if you smoke enough of it and you lungs can take it the high isn't bad.

Click to expand...
actually taima (大麻 which literally translates as "big hemp") refers to "psychoactive" hemp,you know the one with the flowers to smoke...　:muahaha:
asa (麻 ) is just hemp...
others please chime in if im wrong...

so long,
:wave:

haven't seen a grow report on any of those japanese "landrace" strains, but love to...
but i doubt the results will be up to par with the gear of todays fine breeders , there more novelty strains imo
good luck with the venture :wave:

According to the breeders from breeders choice, the Obi and Dosanko arent highly psychoactive. There are potent plants within the population however and they will be doing a large population to select for higher potency and higher quality high this spring. They are however very fast flowering and start to show flowers in a record amount of time after cutting back the light cycle. They strongly resemble wide leafed cultivars from central asia and pose amazing potential for breeding potent lines with a unique high that can grow at very high latitudes because they have good resin production and are very fast flowering. Since they dont autoflower, growers in northern climes can grow larger plants which take advantage of the earlier parts of the growing season and yet flower when the sun is still very strong. By starting them in a cold frame you could probably get plants to yield well over a kilo and still finish before a frost at high latitude. They are also useful in acclimating tropical varieties to higher latitudes and not worry about having to remove autoflowering genes in later generations.

I am curious, why do you have to have east asian seeds?

interesting thread...
and interesting comment Bluebeard!

I´ve always grown in low alt, northern oudoors
and ths factor didn´t occur to me.

On the other hand´i´d assume it would be okay, too to just plant
many many proven dutch outdoor seeds and then breed the individuals
who perform well in high alt.

I don´t see the use of this - unless the psychoactive high
is something exceptional?

..but anyway, interesting to hear from
japanese terminology and weed culture....

( once read there´s a nice iranan food joint near a
tokyo subway, where u get the best charas! :) )

Cheers guys,
Wyatt.
