the Mexican Landraces Thread

[elchischas]

" I can imagine you could totally educate me when it comes to the southern American heirloom cultivars"
@Emperortaima most of us consider @elchischas to be the authority of Mexican and South American cultivars. His knowledge is encyclopedic.

Thanks brother, the words mean a lot to me
Many times, most people don't know how difficult it is to travel to isolated and remote places.
Here in this country, danger is around every corner, and if you ask about weed, well, you can imagine that my trips are always full of emotions.
Few people appreciate this type of seeds, sometimes I don't know if it's worth looking for them..
In the end, I think I do them more for myself, to give meaning to my life.

Definately to me those are pure landrace type seeds, that's the kind of seeds i'll looking for

Those remain me some that i got on this peninsula area just i'm at northern part but Guatemala isn't really far from here
When you pay close attention to the shape of the seeds,
your memory recognizes certain similarities
There is no doubt that your seeds are similar to these ones that I found in a small Mayan community in the southern part of Yucatan
Obviously, in the photographs, you can't say that they are very similar, because the details in the photos always create very presuasive effects, the type of photography is different as well, and the amount of light, but I am definitely sure that they are relative in some way
If both types of seeds were in the same photo (yours and mine) it would be difficult for most people to distinguish them

Yesterday all the day i was traveling to isolated places to search more seeds
I spend almost three years here looking in vain, just hybrids seeds everywere
It was only when I rethought my method of looking for seeds that everything changed
Now there are interesting things to work with.
I found these seeds yesterday
Just the shape, size, color of what I really looking for

Thank you for educating me I am very curious now if these will be some quality narrow leaf or broad leaf cultivar? Very excited! If you pop yours before I do mine best believe I will subscribe to your run

Chischas que onda con tu compa landracer3 afirmando un supuesto origen libanes de las landraces oaxaqueñas con supuestas pruebas historicas que no presenta, dice que según eres su "mentor" y que se las sabe todas todas. Al chile estoy hasta la madre de cultivadores gringos que creen saberlo todo de las oaxaqueñas sin haber puesto un pie en Oaxaca y solo cultivan adquisiciones de otros y afirman que ya se perdieron las oaxaqueñas landrace, MENTIRA a pesar de que se estan introduciendo hibridos todavía hay varias comunidades que siguen cultivando unicamente sus variedades tradicionales. Yo se que el sol sale para todos y que este el mame gringo de landraces y el varito siempre viene bien, Chischas pero al chile si se trata de preservar estariamos tu, yo y la banda mexicana que hace esto haciendo lo posible por hacer algo así como lo que hace el wey de Zomia, incentivando a los cultivadores originarios a preservar sus semillas,y que ellos mismos se asocien para vender sus semillas directamente, la unica forma viable de preservar landraces es en sus comunidades de origen

 

[Emperortaima]

Gosh, what's up with your friend landracer3 claiming a supposed Lebanese origin for the Oaxacan landraces with supposed historical evidence that he doesn't present. He says that according to him you are his "mentor" and that he knows it all. I'm fed up with American growers who think they know everything about Oaxacan landraces without having set foot in Oaxaca and only grow acquisitions from others and claim that the Oaxacan landraces have been lost. LIE. Despite the fact that hybrids are being introduced, there are still several communities that continue to grow only their traditional varieties. I know that the sun rises for everyone and that this gringo mame of landraces and the wand always comes in handy, Chischas but to the point if it is about preserving there would be you, me and the Mexican band that does this doing everything possible to do something like what the guy from Zomia does, encouraging the original growers to preserve their seeds, and that they themselves associate to sell their seeds directly, the only viable way to preserve landraces is in their communities of origin.

I am confused who is this directed towards?

For Chischas, I don't know why your translator translated Chischas as "gosh". He already answered me privately.

La Perla Negra, 3.5 weeks of flower. Smells like wild strawberry cough syrup.

Really cool looking plant. I've seen those leaf shapes before. Fat leaves, but they narrow up dramatically at the focus. Once it was from a plant that was very strong and cerebral and finished quite far north, 42°. Another time it was my SAGE plant. Not so strong but a high quality high.

elchischas, Why don't you reply to me in private messages?​

Courtesy usually works. I have never seen you post here.

I'm sorry if it seemed rude. The translator may not translate like that.

It does smell like the Sage, it's like a more sativa version of Sage. Can't wait try the smoke and compare. I also have a sister plant which is 2 weeks behind regarding flower formation, but has some purple going on and slightly different aromas than this one. Will post some pics later on.

Verde Limón, Chiapas (Hyp3rids)

Start of week 6 of flowering in a 1 gallon pot. Hard to frame her properly because of the stretch. I topped her twice and she still wants to destroy my tent. Slightly finicky but manageable.

Try doing some supercropping during the stretch. Just take the stem between nodes where it is stretching and pinch it flat. This will stop the stretch to repair the damage and the result will be a thicker, stronger stem with more vascular tissue to pump nutrients on up the plant.

I have been looking at hybrids. How was you experience buying from them?

I will leave plant as it is for this grow, but I will have that in mind with my next grow.

My shopping experience with hyp3rids was smooth, growing a bunch of their gear right now. If you’re interested check their thread for more reviews.
