Awesome, glad you were able to get them to ripen this long. All the leaves on the trees are down! Where are you, what is your latitude?
All the leaves are down here, we're getting an inch of snow today and we are set in for winter weather way early this week!
That KwaZulu has super leafy huge flower bracts! Intersting plant, it looks resistant to mold. Loose flower structure indica.
Glad you were able to make some seed. If you allow the plants to pollinate up to the point the flowers are the size of a pencil eraser, there will be only a few seeds in mostly seedless flowers. Works well. But there's always a few plants that don't have much seed because they are late, or else some of the flowers get too big and you get too much seed.
Also its good to use as many strong males as possible, but its good to do some selection and try to use the males with the best structure, vigor, or whatever traits you are going after with the breed.

Cool. I just harvested Mazar I Sharif the other day. I still have Congolese, Lao Gold and Ukhrul all in flower in my backyard. I attached a photo of Mazari before chop

Thats awesome , whats the mazar i shariff? is it afghan? Are landrace strains usually pretty good?
Up to 1 inch of snow turned out to be 1-3 inches, and we got toward the higher end! Not making the roads slick yet, but winter has arrived 5 weeks early! Glad we have some good medicine to keep me healthy through the winter.

It's a Landrace from Northern Afghanistan.Thats awesome , whats the mazar i shariff? is it afghan? Are landrace strains usually pretty good?

It depends if it's a worked landrace/heirloom line or if it's just open pollinated to keep the diversity.
Mazari is mainly a "hashish" Plant but there are some chemotypes that are high THC. The 1 I have is potent but it has a fair amount of CBD in it as well.
My Congolese is an heirloom pure sativa IBL. This is for Ganja and has been worked with over time by removing the unwanted traits and breeding with only high THC chemotypes.
My Ukhrul is a Landrace pure sativa. It's for Ganja but has not been worked with like the Congolese IBL.
Thats great, I thought I recognized the mazar as a afghan. You had the leaves stripped, so its hard to tell. Do you have any pics of the plant from earlier?
How many days is the flowering on congolese? When is it ready? Would be a great breeding tool! Thanks for sharing! Where did you get your seed?

Nice! I love landraces and definitely got the bug for seeds. I wish we could grow unrestricted even partial prohibition is taking it toll on their preservation. unfortunately I can't grow late season setivas outside. Love that Afghani , you mind me asking the sourcing of the mazar i shariff?
Check out this thread in the Landrace forum! I searched Mazar I Sharif and found it.
Whos got the best Afghan?
After reading through the thread here I’m surprised no one has mentioned Bohdis Cherry Queen?? Anyone have any experience with it?? I’ve got a pack of that held back, also a pack of the USCs Black Afghani and a bunch of deep chunk F2’s also. ACE put out a Hashplant S1 which is supposedly an...

got some bella ortega from cannabella seed club
Bella Ortega is a 100% pure Indica from Afghanistan, Mazar i Sharif. The variety was given to Nevil Schoenmakers (The Seed Bank) who refined and selected this. It is a pure Maple Leaf Indica Afghani selection and is not related to Northern Lights. She is over 40 years old and still preserved in her original vitality. Ortega / Maple Leaf Indica genes are found in many known crosses such as Black Domina or Super Skunk.
The plants are dark green with broad leafs reminding of maple leafs, have a stable main trunk and grow when they have space in a Christmas tree shape. Tightly composed, only one main blossom forms and almost no lateral shoots.
The aroma is sweet-fruity towards grape / grapefruit with distinct hashish and hops touch in the finish.
Very resinous plants, producing excellent hashish, dry sifted a true flavor experience.
Can be used for medical purposes like: sleep disorders, ADHD, tourette, appetite, tinitus and nerve pain.'

This is one of those project strains
The story of this adventure was first reported in Regardies Magazine and written by former HIGH TIMES reporter A. Craig Copetas. “After being smuggled into a refugee camp near Peshawar while lying on the floor of a car, Nevil made contact with a 30-year-old Muslim fanatic who had a throbbing vein that ran from between his eyes straight up his forehead,” wrote Copetas. “The man took a lump of black hash out of his pocket and told Nevil that it had been processed by his uncle, a man known as Mr. Hashish. Surrounded by four men who were pointing machine-guns at him, Nevil set about negotiating with Mr. Hashish, a Mujahedin commander, and finally persuaded him to send a squad of his men 280 miles into Soviet-occupied territory and come back with two kilos of healthy Mazari seeds.”

“He thought I was ridiculous because I didn’t want to buy hash or opium.” recalls Nevil. “Nobody had ever come there before to buy seeds, and at first he had no idea what I was talking about.I stood there trying to explain genetics to this tribal hash leader in sign language. When he finally figured out what I wanted, he asked for too much money. I took a zero off his price and gave him ten percent up front. He called me a bandit, but I had the seeds four days later.”
The seeds are beautiful tiger striped specimens of giant grapefruit and hops flavored indicas
Sensi Seeds' Maple Leaf Indica Description
A relatively new release as a seed, this fat, sticky hash-makers’ plant has long been prized for its sparkling coating of resin glands and syrupy sweet citrus bouquet. Maple Leaf Indica is bred from precious, vintage Afghanica gene-stock – parent plants that have formed part of several important Sensi Seeds hybrids and which represent one of the surviving strains behind original Mazar-i-Sharif hashish.
The direct forebears of Maple Leaf Indica were brought out of Afghanistan just before the Soviet invasion and older smokers lucky enough to have visited the region in its peaceful era may find this variety to be a taste – and a blast – from the past. Some of the earliest western references to the Maple Leaf parent strain describe both the plant and the hashish produced from it as “renowned throughout the Hindu Kush and the whole of the Middle East as the best there is.”
Even by the high standards of the region, Mazar-i-Sharif is a celebrated centre of cannabis and hashish culture, and prior to the Eighties its reputation was greater still. Situated just inside Afghanistan’s northern border, the town’s proximity to the territory of the former USSR made it one of the very first areas to be affected by the invasion. This threat was perhaps the only reason that the traditional cultivators of the Maple Leaf parent strain allowed it to leave their possession, and the collector who received the original seeds made it a personal mission to preserve this unique Indica.
The exodus of sublime Afghani genotypes during that period changed the face of ganja cultivation around the world and western growers have literally reaped the benefits ever since. Maple Leaf represents one of the finest Afghanica varieties ever seen outside the region, back-crossed to express the purity of her ancestors. This strain quickly and easily produces solid buds that drip with crystal and sugary orange-grapefruit flavours. While not the biggest-yielding Afghani in the Sensi collection, Maple Leaf Indica tops the list for resin production and has always been one of our personal favourites.
Short flowering period (45 - 50 days)

The leaves fall off in thier own the later it gets in flower. I attached a few photos during veg and flower.Thats great, I thought I recognized the mazar as a afghan. You had the leaves stripped, so its hard to tell. Do you have any pics of the plant from earlier?
How many days is the flowering on congolese? When is it ready? Would be a great breeding tool! Thanks for sharing! Where did you get your seed?
The Congolese can go anywhere from 90-120 days during flower. Ill post some photos of her later.

So world seeds KwaZulu is definitely not a pure sativa landrace as claimed .The two plants I've grown are completely different, but so far the loose leafy one is my favorite, and is much more mold resistant and dealt with the rain here in coastal central New Jersey just fine I just picked it today ,It probably could have gone just a bit more , but I'm going away for Thanksgiving and have to dry it . I have a few buds dry for a few weeks now from a split branch , they are quite tasty with a up high .With the kumaoniI did a kinda controlled open pollination ,I collected and mixed all three pollens and applied when the girls were at peak flowering

Wow you really Veg em Big.
A shame to throw it away.
When it's minced up into smaller pieces, wild birds love Cannabis.
Cool Happy Harvest!
Landrace isn't the same as inbred line (IBL). IBL's are true breeding for desired traits, but landrace strains have been developed in isolation and are not necessarily true breeding.
Wow thats cool, you'll get a good result with that. I think my pollination my be skewed to one male or the other. Distance from the male is one variable, but also the males vary in maturity. The best structure, indica dominant male I wanted was slower to produce pollen this year, but it was mature on time.

The IBL selected for uniform traits is largely a western thing.The Afghani hash farmer dosen't care about how thick the leaves are or what color the flowers are etc. .It's not that they didn't select but they only cared that it grew well, produced a good product and was easy to process. Because of this difference in thinking ,landraces around the world contain a trove of genetic diversity unlike the IBL. This can be said about many domestic crops like Corn, beens, and potato for example
