A question about some of the new "puras"

[gOurd^jr.]

I can't help notice that on the new ace website there are a few offerings that match some of those in the Gypsy Nirvana Collection on Seedboutique. Specifically The Luang Prabang Lao Sativa, Thai Stick, and Mazar-i-sharif. Any connection to the gypsy sources? Descriptions seem spot on and both places state the seeds are directly sourced from local growers ie true P1 stock. Seem very appealing for breeding with or for revisiting the old days...
I managed to snag some Mazar from Gypsy before they went out of stock so I wonder if it is the same source.
Thanks

Yes, dubi posted in another thread that these are Gypsy stock.

Thanks Lean Green, that's what it seemed...

"You are right Fluffy Clouds,

The Thai stick, lao sativa and mazari indica it's gypsy stock we re sell through other 'channels' not related to icmag, so this genetics have the chance to be more spread and hopefully preserved. We state they are original landrace-wilder seeds directly from the native growers and they are not refined landrace lines like Malawi, Pakistan Chitral Kush or Chinese Yunnan for example.

I know it's old stock but i did the tests and germ tests succesfully (over 85%) and we always add extra seed in every pack to try to guarantee every plant the customer payed for. Being a bit old stock, they will probably going to be distributed via ACE Seeds only this year, hopefully we have the time to do some selections, refinements and P2 generation of the thai, laotian and mazari cos they worth it.
And of course, there's a higher chance of hermies than in our more refined landraces but im sure landrace lovers from all around the world will apreciate this offerings coming from ACE Seeds.

It also happened with the the zamal gypsy brought to community ... It was an amazing exotic crazy sativa (a bit hermie of course) but with huge potential that sadly is not availabe in pure form now, at least in fresh stock."
