I wanted to share an observation:

Neanderthals and BLD both evolved in cold, harsh climates. They developed adaptations to absorb more nutrients from the sun. In the case of early humans, it was vitamin D; having lighter skin aided in absorbing light. The dark and broader leaves of BLD support the plant in maintaining humidity, heat, and absorbing more sunlight, while the shorter and broader frame of the Cro-Magnon gives them the strength they need for their environment, and their stockier structure insulates them to preserve body heat. Conversely, the Cro-Magnon evolved from Africa and have darker skin to protect themselves from sunburns, along with a slender structure that helps them deal better with excess heat compared to Neanderthals. This is similar to the NLD sativas from equatorial regions that are tall and have thin leaves, supporting their environment.

I cant find East Africa Genese anywhere. any link? is it at IG?
i've bought from him 2 seperate times he has an instagram with a shashamane video of one of my friends plants. I recommend any kind of dealings with Mike from East Africa genes. I've had nothing but positive experiences and consider him my friend.
Edit: note plant below if from 2nd generation reproduced in similiar enviroment and same area, the first generation that wasnt acclimated was not as strong as the 2nd generation or the first generation reproduced in the other enviroment than ethiopia, if i explained that right. they where stronger plants after the shashamane had one generation to adapt to enviroment.

I like that guy, he is great and friendly, I had great conversation with him, he offered me some cuts. but for example kona gold or any hawaiian cant be landrace. there are no hawaiian landraces. just for you information. but all of his varieties have some breeding potential thats sure. nice work which deserves respect.
@MAHA KALA that’s good to hear

I stumbled upon his web site by chance and found his photography incredible

I am trying to grow his Uptown Haze and Sawa Shi Shi(?) I haven’t killed them but their shoes are too small

Just a few weeks into flower I also regret not setting up the CMH light to supplement my LED setup. Just turned on the pair of QB288 boards and hopefully that helps

It’s all about learning for me

I found him to be very positive and helpful to this newbie

My first go at running Haze this year and I’ve been humbled again but grateful for this community to keep me going

Kaleb at Humboldt CSI has several landraces and inbred lines including the Burmese IBL. Check it out!

humboldtcsi.com/

Edit: Ok I saw at the bottom of the first post its on there. Thanks for all this great information you've gathered for us! It makes it easy to compare, and its good to see strains you may not be aware of!

What's the back story on the Burmese? Got any info on that line?

He said its a very long flowering, and can be tricky to get dialed in for some people. Its a thai type sativa-dominant resin profile.

Shillong (N/E India) - Flowering: 14-16 weeks Aromas/Flavors: Bitter minty, floral incense. Effects: Energetic sativa with psychedelic effects. Who has this? I saw some ILE lines and ACE in your list. The Kullu is good but imo not great. The Chellakutti tripped me out more with one certain plant.

The ILE Burmese is most likely my favorite trippy type sativa line at the moment. Pleasant high as well. Trippy at lower doses which is all I have done so far, so if I hit it hard sometime, who knows what planet I land on!!
