Hi there Rev, what’s on your roster this year? I’m trying out two Baaba Qo Selections and revisiting two from a couple of years ago. Started seeds April 1.
hawaiian hashplant, crazy stinky...
You asked about the Waziri. My favorite strain grown so far, produces a great daytime upbeat happy high.
Transplanted 5 Rustam Kush, 4 Sholgar, 5 Waziri repro and 1 Balkhi repro into the garden today
one note to hawaiian hashplant, if you want real mold resistant hashplant, look for hawaiian. just a tip.
Interesting lineup Rev! wishing you the best of luck this yearHashplants mostly, seems like this will be the year of the hashplants. Keep us posted on how things go, it all sounds great. Very curious about the Waziri from TRSC. I'm sure the Baaba Qo will be amazing. My Sholgar last year was male, it had an amazing smell like dried orange. It died in a tragic case of male abuse before I could collect it's pollen. My buddy has a couple going, I'll try to get some pics. They could be the best strain from the Balkh region, which is the homeland of hashish. I've got some Durand Line Project 2020 going, so far it seems to be excellent. Also have some Baloch hashplants I'm very excited about.
Here's some pics of the Durand Project plants. The first is a Zer Karez, from Zabul Province. You can read the description at the Indian Landrace Exchange's website under projects.

It's a semi-domesticated landrace from the hills, a remote area with far less cultivation in general then the valleys. There's a lot of orchards; nut trees, apples, grapes, etc. The strain was created by the locals, crossing high quality seeds from the northern hashish producing regions with the local semi-feral landrace. This seems to be common throughout southern Afghanistan. The quality breeding takes place in the valleys and in the north while the locals have landraces of lesser yield and quality but also distinctive useful traits such as shorter flowering time. These are already showing vigor and a fine smell.
The next one is the Shahjoy from Zabul Province, similar story. I'm really liking the looks and smell of this one, seems to be very fine. Zabul seems to be a less populated, very rural, impoverished province on the border with Pakistan. Much of the country is mountainous. It makes me more excited about these strains, that they come from an area far from the beaten path.

And the last one I'll post today is the Nawa Ghazni. Ghazni is located on the main transportation route and is highly agricultural. Nawa District has been suffering from drought and is more remote. It's noted for it's fine hashish and this strain comes from a careful breeder who maintains and selects his seeds in a thoughtful manner. As compared to the other selections I've shown which are bred in a simple landrace manner. I'm excited about these for the opposite reason I'm excited about the other two. Seeing a fine cultivated hashish strain from a knowledgeable breeder who has worked to improve his strain.

I have quite a bit more to post and talk about. Growing some stuff from Bob Hemphill, Crickets and Cicada seeds. I'll be back with more pics when I have time.
it is very nice plant!Here's the most hash plant-y thing I've got going this year: Aunt Bubba (Aunt of Farouk x Bubba Kush). At about 7 weeks in the last picture. Smells like caramel toffee coffee sweetened with fruit syrup and topped with a spoon of hash. This is light dep early crop, I've got a Big Sur Holy WLD expression flowering too, I'll get a picture of her up in a few days

I see. I found og kush quite resistant. lemon larry was worse in it though. I dont know pure kush. but laos can help, thats sure.Yep I'd think so. Nothing selects for mold resistance like outdoors in a humid tropical climate. I'm running Bodhi's Passionfruit hashplant, Pure Kush x Lao Muang Sing x G13HP. Going to be interesting if the Lao side helps the resistance. They're already growing thick and bushy and smell amazing for young plants.
