Nice to hear that, I’ve became interested in the genuine moroccan landrace lately. I dont know if you personally have been in the area, but despite the low potency of the strain,this landrace has a very high value by itself being a pure landrace, taking into account the proximity to Europe and the amount of Critical and other dutch pollen that is floating each seasson in the fields of Chauen and Issaguen.
Is there a high certainty about the genetic purity?
Nice you got them, greetings.
I can’t say anything about this seeds purity, but what I can say for sure is that there are pure Moroccan landrace strain still available in Morocco. Let me tell you why. Because Moroccans don’t like to smoke hybrids imported from abroad. I’ve been to Morocco many times and I speak the local language. I’m not Moroccan but but I speak Arabic with North African dialect. So I’ve socialised a lot with locals. I’ve even stayed with farmers. The reason for why I’m sure there are pure Moroccan landrace is because Moroccans don’t like to smoke hybrids. I would say most of Moroccans hate to smoke hybrids, especially during day time. Most of them prefer their own Moroccans strain. They don’t like the hybrids because it makes them ”drunk”, (sokran) in Arabic. They feel that they can’t work or be productive when they smoke hybrids during daytime so they only smoke beldia during the day. In other words the hybrids are too strong. If you also take to account how many Moroccans that smoke cannabis you realise that there is a great local demand for their own strain. I’ve been there 5 times and most of the time my Moroccan friends turn me down when I pass them a joint with a hybrid(pakistana, mexika, trikita, khardela, etc). Also the Moroccan ”kif” is only smoked with Moroccan landrace. Kif is the way older people smoke their cannabis and that’s also a reason for why the landrace still is available. Kif is buds that they’ve cleaned from seeds and chopped and mixed with local grown tobacco leaves. Ive even smoked kif on the train with a worker, but that’s another history... The Moroccan strain is very easy to distinguish from the hybrids. It has a special smell and appearance, you can easy distinguish it.

Thanks a lot, in fact due its flowering time, once the rest of the imported genetics start to flower, the Rif landrace is already mature and full of seeds. So, taking this into account, and the things you have mentioned along with others, preservation in its purest form is quite possible.I can’t say anything about this seeds purity, but what I can say for sure is that there are pure Moroccan landrace strain still available in Morocco.

Is this the same genetic as one of your other vendors on your site is using?
Hi TakenByTheSky,
ACE Seeds' Moroccan release is different than the one from Khalifa Genetics.
I have smelled and smoked Khalifa's version and it is very nice, so growers interested in exploring a wider pure Moroccan genetic diversity should also consider to explore their version.
The more efforts to preserve old Moroccan strains the better
I don’t know if this plant is going to gain a lot of popularity in the landrace enthusiasts community but indeed is a precious genetic. You can see these mountains from the southern coast of Tarifa, and is very amazing how this sacred plant wandered with us across the globe.
Just about ready to put into bloom. Happy Flowering!
