It is time for a list of landrace seeds and seedbanks that you can order today. I think that unless you are a diehard Skunk variety fan, real variety still comes from the many landraces that are being grown around the world.
Here is a list of companies that sell landrace sativas and indicas, listed in order of quality and reliability.
ACE Seeds
Spanish company, that has Mazar-i-shariff, China Yunnan, Panama (cross of Panama and Columbian strains), Guatemala and Lao Luang Prabang. They also have a hybrid called Orient Express, that is China Yunnan crossed with Vietnam Black. It would be nice to have a real Vietnamese landrace from anywhere. I have some Mazar-I-Shariff, and they are reported to have really freaky cold resistance qualities. So I'm going to grow them later in the summer and see if they finish outdoors, in cold weather.
AFROPIPS (google: afropips)
The late Afropips is no more, but his seedcompany has been taken over and is back and running again. On African marijuana, they are second only to the late African Seeds Company. Their pure landrace strains are Malawi, Nigeria, Swazi Red and Durban Poison. They also have hybrids like Senegal Haze which could yield interesting phenotypes.
The Average Seed Company (google: hipersemillas)
They have the African Seeds Company F1 strain Ethiopian Highland. Unhybridized, I have grown them and they grow like clones - which is how you know you're dealing with an inbred line. This is the real deal, and low priced too.
Cannabiogen (google: cannabiogen)
Spanish company. Their mainly Caribbean and South American landrace strains are: Jamaica Blue Mountain, Panama DC, Mexico Jarilla de Sinaloa, Punta Rosa, Nepal Highland.
The Real Seed Company
British company. They have seeds that are mainly from India/The Himalayas, and keep changing whenever they become available. Right now they have Kumaoni and Garhwali Shiva. They used to have Lebanese, and I think they can still send you some, but the germination rate has gone out of the window (which is why they don't list the strain anymore). They also used to have Garhwali Jungli, Pavari Farmhouse, and more.
Blue Hemp (google: bluehemp)
Swiss company. They have a landrace indica called Lebanese, whose effect is described as a brainfreeze couchlock. They have other strains they describe as landrace, like Pakistani, Nepali and Thaifun Horizon, but the flowering time seems very short for a landrace sativa.
MALBERRY SEEDS
The Malberry name immediately makes you think of the Afropips strain (Malawi Blueberry), so maybe that is also where their strains come from? I don't know. Anyway, they seem to have a suspiciously large selection of pure African landrace strains: Mozambiquen Poison, Mulanje Gold, Drakensberg Gold, Swazi Highland and Zambezie Gold.
