Thanks for posting. Amazing variation in the Afghan plants.

exactly

the variation in real landraces is extraordinary!

even just within a single landrace, the range of variation is incredible

for biodiversity, these old strains are a treasure trove

people bringing hybrid seed to ancient centres of biodiveristy need to realise they are destroying millennia of biodiversity... permanently

It's neat to think that the first hash I ever smoked, back in the early 90's, could have been growing on those plants pictured in those Afghani fields.

Hellmand 1990, beautiful plants, I grew plants just like that in late 70's in Humboldt province hehe, tasted exactly the same as Black Afghani Hash with gold stamp, made incredible crosses with it too. Dripping resin.
Thank you for sharing those pictures.

Good thread. I grew my first plants in 72. Ive got a poloroid pic of some Red Lebanese x Afghani. I grew in 83. We had to use a poloroid or home developed film back then. You sure didn't want to send out film to be developed.

It would end up in the porn pile. Lol

This is not exactly a vintage cannabis photo. But I have seen the same picture in car stickers since the early 90's.

The most ancient fossils of Cannabis (as Cannabis oligocaenica) seem to have been found in GERMANY, dated to the Oligocene Epoch (34-23 millions of years).

What an interesting thought. Especially if you wind back time to megafauna and megaflora eras where we had armadillo's the size of VW bugs. Or Dragonflies with a 2 foot wingspan. I believe the oxygen content is boasted for this gigantism of the ecosystems. They get fossilized bark from those eras that have air trapped inside, and it reads at something like 63% oxygen which is way more than we have today. (I'm going to have to re-read that paper and brush up on all those stats but i'm fairly positive thats the gist of it.)

Imagine a 50-60ft tall cannabis tree. The fuckin' smell boys. When I get anything in my garden over 8-9ft the smell permeation starts to increase drastically.
