the afgani clones are showing to phenos from the same plant, one looks very nice and the other is growing without order, but this one is full of resin, even in the stems of the leaves; the other does not.
Hi, I am very interested in this topic. I always try to find ganja seeds wherever I travel. I have grown some Thai and St.Lucian varieties but never to completion due to circumstances. Kazakh seeds failed to germinate a couple of months ago on a heated propagator - all other seeds did but these didn't, and they were fresh.
I wonder if these seeds might respond to stratification, given the winter temperatures in its native climes.
Also the following picture was taken in May near Almaty, Kazakhstan - if these plants were flowering then, surely they are strongly autoflowering and not photoperiod sensitive?
Perhaps these plants have even overwintered?
It is the extreme divergence in characteristics which marks the cannabis plant as so adaptive (in nature) and adaptable (for our breeding purposes). Such genetic strength is irreplaceable once lost, which is why this line of work and manner of thinking is so very important indeed.

Notice how the Meao Thai is different from other thais tested, and seems to cluster with the chinese samples. Thailand Th-7 10 Meao, THCVA Hemp 921237b SHOY C. chi.h; C. sat.j; sat. sat.k
Indian hemp from Garhwal has similar values, linking it to China. India In-4 12 Pauri, Garhwal Hemp 921207b INDBS C. chi.h; C. sat.j; sat. sat.k
All of the far eastern hemp samples seem to be a mix of c. chinensis and c. sativa.. In this light I find it hard to imagine c. indica originating from China or Thailand.
