the botrytis resistance might also be a regional/yearly thing.
I remember having some lectures about the gene-for-gene theory, that was mostly about phytophtera but I guess it applies to botrytis as well. (the gist of it is you have multiple strains of a fungus floating around, and multiple resistance genes. each resistancegene only works if the fungus/virus has a corresponding gene it 'recognises'. so it could be kumaoni is resistant in it's native region, but there is a different strain/race of botrytis in your region it can't handle. but that's kind of hard to find out for sure without innocculating it yourself so you know what strain/race of the fungus is infecting the plant).

the high is as potent as any potent occidental hybrid but very energizing, the effect is very similar as sam skunkman
described smoking pure thc, gives you some anxiety and puts you even in a little agressive mood, but in a good way,
like you do things with a let's smash this motherfuckers attitude
@meizzwang - beautiful bud, and good looking seeds --- always good to see people making their own seeds and keeping the strain pure...
this is what all growers should do (not just making hybrids of this and that)
Good to hear from you ngakpa. Some folks were worried. Heard the website was down (just looked and its up) and each passing day made us nervous. Glad all is well.
@Green
yeah, I agree
I often suggest that people consider making crosses - e.g. in situations where people got the Manipuri as a freebie and complain that it won't finish outdoors where they are, they can consider crossing it to something faster
clearly people can and do make hybrids or do whatever else they want
the problem is that 99.9% of growers do just cross this and that, without any thought to keeping good plants going in their pure form
I'm not just talking about landraces - I mean any good true-breeding strain, be it a Haze, Skunk, or whatever
the clear direction with cannabis strains these days is to become a mish mash of crosses crossed with crosses crossed with crosses etc.
surprisingly few people who get a new strain devote their first grow of it to making their own seeds
or have an eye to 20, 30 years down the road, when you can be sure so many of these varieties - even modern ones - will have vanished
Ngakpa-
You have made a lot of great points and I agree on all of them. Your are obviously in the vanguard in this struggle.
Optimistically I hope the next 20-30 years are better. Maybe a new era.
Haha, I’m still laughing that people complain when the receive free seeds.
