Thanks, haven't really had the chance to delve in to that one. Sounds really good!

Tom Hill said it was just one of the lines the Chemist friend of his had, and they didn't have time to think of a name! :smoke:

Update on Todds Purest Indica. 4 plants Autoflowered. I'm suspecting these carry age flowering genetics?. they all got culled. 1 plant left.. Ill pop the rest and see what's up..

Todds SK#1. These look better. I'll get pics of what's left later today.

Thats not good, they weren't supposed to autoflower? Wonder why that is? You are an experienced grower. What was the photoperiod they were on?

Looking forward to seeing the skunk.

Is that Todd McCormick lines? There was a breeder with that name on The Potcast in the past.

My veg space is 24hrs on. Yes, Todd Mc. I have a dozen different crosses going.. Mostly my own.. The PI is the only plants that autoflowered.

Haha, this mix up may be the best indica. Straight from the farms in Afghanistan!

Running 5 of these this year. May have to get more if it looks good!


Description​

Genetics: Various Traditional Afghan Domesticates (“Landraces”)
Sourcing: Landrace Genetics, northern Afghanistan (Winter 2019)
Purpose: Charas (sieved)
Latitude: Various
Harvest: Various
Height: Various
Characteristics: Intense aromas, heavy branching, medium to broad leaflets
Classification: C. sativa subsp. indica var. afghanica (x C. sativa subsp. indica var. indica?)
Grow Type: Outdoor, greenhouse, or indoor

This winter (2019–20), we obtained accessions from the following crucial historic centres of cultivation in northern Afghanistan:

  • Balkh
  • Badakshan
  • Mazar-i-Sharif (i.e. the cultigen ‘Mazari’)
  • Kunduz
Unfortunately, during the process of transporting these seeds, a genius had the bright idea of mixing the bags together (after all, they’re “just cannabis seeds”).

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we aren’t able to rectify this situation.

However, all the seeds are healthy. Young plants are exhibiting marked var. afghanica leaflet traits.

Has anyone ever found anything from him worth keeping ?.
Bird genes on insta has grown out a few of Todd's lines, said the skunk was a complete waste of time and ditched the plants. Did his NL2, said it was OK, not great. I have both in the fridge but am skeptical and don't want to waste time on iffy genetics

I give everyone's gear a fair test.. The proof will always be what our work produces. A pack of seeds must have something descent in them. Even if some herms are found along with killers at least there is some quality that can be kept. If its all trash with zero breeding uses I don't see the point in sugar coating that.

Breeder Emerald Mountain Legacy was talking these up on the Potcast.

He is continuing the life work of his older brother who passed away.

Watch out for hermis in the P1 original landrace lines according to Dubi of Ace seeds on the Potcast. Also autoflower is possible. So be aware of this for the afghan mix. Going to be some sorting out to do when growing original landrace lines from the huge farms in the East.



There's also a part 2 of the interview.

I guarantee that it you grow the TRSC landrace Afghani mix outside you will not get one hermaphrodite. Hermaphrodites are mostly problem with indoor grows under artificial light. As far as I know the only landraces that have a problem with Hermaphrodites outside are Southeast Asian. Certainly not the Hindu kush strains

Description​


1979 Xmas Bud IBL
Open pollinated reproduction of the pure ’79 Xmas Bud from the east coast. A pure Indica style plant that grows like a Christmas Tree and smells of Pinene & Terpinolene. Extremely Stable phenotypically. Always keep an eye out for the occasional hermaphrodite as these are open pollinated for preservation purposes and not selected seeds. Originally shared by NdNguy.

8-9 week flowering times.



21 Regular seeds per pack
This brings back some great memories in Buffalo, NY
I never grew it, but, smoked a lot of it

I don't remember much of the 70's except it was a damn good time

@dubi knows what he's talking about my friend. He was referring to farm crops in regions where cannabis is grown for hash production and no selection is done. When growing seed from these locations you usually find a portion of hermaphrodites and autoflowers because thats probably natural expression over time depending on environmental and genetic factors.

So I beg to differ with Dubi’s assumption that these regions of traditional hash production have practiced no selection for the past few hundred years .I stand by my claim I grow out my 5 freebies and you yours and not one hermaphrodite.Anyhow I ain't scared of no hermie
