I had what I believe was a Sth Indian sativa many yrs ago ─ great, sexy blues-busting high made everthing look tinged with a reddishpink colour and the extensive side-branching had more side-branching and they yet more SB . . . ad infinitum . . .
Grew it for several happy years ─ and then the cops came . . .
old tread, anyway.. i found the best weed in Punjab and in Kerela-tamil nadu, the punjab weed beats everything not because of genetics but because they are just better farmers, ask any baba in india where the strongest weed is and he properly say punjabi weed..
There are also some very skilled farmers in Kerela-tamil nadu that try to grow sensimilla.
In Varanasi, there are quite a few growers that grow n sell to all the turist.. tho its really shady and most is scammers there are a few just need to dig em out, the same story goes with goa but again most is scammers and u need to be well connected to find the real home grow.
supposedly "sacred seeds" bred kerala weed in the 70's.
where is the seed now? everything seems to be bred with skunk.
searching seedbay doesn't turn anything up.
what happened to columbian black too? it seems columbians have a indica contamination if not preserved highland species (from reading about it on the ultimate sativa thread).
even world of seeds is carrying a columbian gold with indica in the genes.
where can pure sativa landraces be found, especially the kerala/ghat mountain sativa (besides going to the lands, which is maybe expensive/troublesome)?
