Beautiful Purple Clouds!
I've been to Chaman's place, we're good friends. That picture with the book of Club papers, I gave him those and the wooden grinder, haha.
His Bangladesh Sativa came beautiful grown near the equator, I never got to smoke any of that one with him unfortunately.
I need to email him and get him on this thread for his experience.
Thanks for saving and re-posting these pics. I wish OG was still around.

Thanks for the picture and info on that beautiful strain guys... it sounds great and keeping such a line alive is something fantastic, I imagined that north indian plants would be faster as the ones from Himachal Pradesh and Nepal but that one looks like a fierce tropical one!

Vibes.

Good luck with those seedlings Randy. The preservation of world class landrace sativa cultivars is the noblest of causes. Hope these beans become plentiful.

It does look lowland tropical. The place where it came from was 23°N In a town close to Dhaka.

hey bro, thats really awesome man !! jejeje can't beleave it, jeje if you can make more, please do !! Loader from Ausi gave those too me a real long time ago. he was talk'n about how these had the longest high's and very nice head too them. I grew several, loved them indeed !! jejeje but they took their time...literaly took ages, reveged easy too so seem'd like the buds would never stop. jjeje Just kept on stacking on more caliz and more caliz. High was really nice, the stem was woody. Had lots of reds as she matured, long internodes, thin very thin leafs...can't remember if they where double serated lile Colombians, but the leafes looks like a hand with all the fingers forward...not like a Thai that would have the last pair striaght out too the sides. Strong plant, man..I crossed it with every thing jejej made things very very tasty. Wish I had more, will try too see if I got pics at home my friend

RandyC. It looks very much indeed like a legend ! and such a nice description. A re you going to release it to the bay, or? Woud be lovely to carry the torch further into the future genebank for cannabis.

- 420E best luck

I am going to try my best to make seeds, but I am old enough to know anything can happen in the next year that it will take to make seeds properly, so I take it slow and easy day by day and see what comes and do the best I can with what I have.
Thank you to all who are contributing to this thread, the information will be a very big help in maintaining interest and hopefully eventually reaching the goal of preserving these genetics within the community.

Sounds nice Randy, It can take alongggg time, and guess the sativa side is one of the reasons.
You mention eailer in the thread that, indoor is not as good as outside, I can agree on it cause the sun is the best HPS in my opinion, but where i am living, (scandinavia) Such sativas can bee very difficult to do a outdoor at our lattiude, so for preserving this genetic, a think a indoor garden would be the choice for me.... Do you think maybe one of the reasons could be that the indoor take to "long" and then people tend do harvest earlier, or are we talking UV or...something completely different ? just curious.

Hope the best for you project sir

420empire, I don't remember saying that. I think that was a quote from Loader who lived in Australia. But yes I think it would grow outside better at Loaders latitude. I am at @40°N which is a little far north for a lowland tropical sativa and I live on the coast with a cold ocean current and although freezing temps are rare, it is very cool all year long. So I am by necessity growing them indoors and only under 400w lights at first. I will have to test the seedlings out and make sure they will not hermi to put them under the 1000w lights.
So I plan on taking my time and maturing the seedlings out for a couple of months first as Loader has recommended, and take cuttings and bloom them when they are small. I think that would be the safest way to go with this. I will proceed from there when I see what I have to work with.
I think a lot of people get the wrong idea about sativa's the first time they grow them because they do not mature the plant out before flowering it. In my experience you can get a very WRONG impression of a really GOOD sativa by rushing her and not growing her properly.

Looks exactly the same as the phenos i got from Bangladesh in 06, the weed was called Moyna= sweet

 

[RandyCalifornia]

Very nice Thule, that is a holy plant you got there.
Jah Hoover... what was the smoke like in Bangladesh in 06?
Was there any resemblance in the high to the descriptions Chaman and Loader give?
Was it one of those zingy, spicy sativas of the old days?

That's actually mummycats plant, but I am also in possession of some seeds. It makes sense that the supposed Bengali lambsbread resembles a Bangladeshi sativa. Nice to see it so clearly.. Cool thread.
