Zomia Collective

One of the sponsors north coast genetics carries some of their lines, so i imagine there a good source. like kroeng krawia and Moung Xai, thought i imagine there probably reproductions based on the websites photos. and lack of on zomia collective, if you want a stablized ide go with north coast probably, if you want true landrace with more diversity if buying alot of seeds i'de go with zomia there both equally priced.

I had high hopes for north coast but they appear to be just another Hype Op. No descriptions or details about their strains or where they were sourced from. Just a few colorful pictures and some hilarious prices. Just my two cents

that is why even know they are a sponsor, i do not have them on my landrace sourcing archive as well as tlrt. because it looks like they mostly have repro's not the original, and for having repros there prices are too high imo.

The landrace team appears to have a very mixed reputation and theyre way too pricey for my taste. I wont be spending any money on them but @yesum grew their Corinto and it looked like some straight fire :love:

This gringo happens to be married to a Mexican😁 . I always thought even the Mexican varieties originated down in Columbia? It just sucks that dubi is the only one preserving them. Top notch weed
Well as i say i'm other posts find some Oaxaca landraces it's not so difficult in the field, just stay something like a week in San José del Pacífico and save some seeds of some of the varities you like there, it's not localy produced but it's a permisive hippie town famous for the mushrooms, and almost everybody sell weed and hash there (and opium if you like that) si is a place the villages that produces in that part of the Sierra Sur sell some of their harvests. Hybrid seeds are already being introduced so you need go fast. I don't think mexican landraces and colombian landraces are the same, just in Oaxaca local landraces are very diferent between eachother, in general Oaxaca Highland Strains are relative short both in morphology and flowering time compared with other mexican landraces. But i know that at least in Guerrero colombian hybrids was importes in the 80s or so.

by misconceptions i'm talking about names like "Zihuatanejo" "Punta Cometa""Zipolite" even "Acapulco Gold" all of them mames of the places where the collector purchase the weed to a dealer, not where is produced. Talking about mexican landraces never trust names of tourist beach towns, weedin México was never growed in the ocean.

Nice, the Kroeng is on my “to acquire” list. I grew out the kirivong and selected 2 mango females and crossed em to 1 mango male.

What are you seeing in your kirivongs?
Well i just poped one seed of each to testing outdoors in the subtropical winter season, not flowering but i hope soon since days are becoming shorter, here seasonal can work similar than in thailand so with some luck i will be harvesting by feb-march

I follow them on discord, don’t grow their gear, yet.
Some of the cats on their discord are growing zomia gear (obviously) and some of the stuff is legit and very unique.

One thing I learned from new collectives and seed sellers… they human and stoners, so human mistakes happen often (mixed seeds, wrong packaging, not sending seeds). Makes it even worse if one starts to diss them. It’s always best to resolve disputes in private.

Hoping to see anyone growing their stuff and journaling.

Speaking of discord, they said the mess has been straightened out and they are now excepting orders again.

Yeah last thing I read was one of the dude running the discord was addressing that issue and trying to repair some of the damage already caused (by not sending out seeds).

Hopefully they get their credit up again, it would be sad to see another person ripping people using cannabis for that.

Cheers

the Canadian seed testing discord brings community back together.
If the business is scamming people… not much a career ahead. If the business is selling and preserving genetics then time will tell.

I still give them the benefit of the doubt.

They just seem to have a sloppy business ethic. Please tell your friends about this thread. Id love to see some grow reports.
None of them are members here, or elsewhere. There's a few Reddit threads on Zomia grows if you want to search.

Not familiar with NorthCoast. Is it possibly the other way around (ie they are using Zomia's pic)? Zomia has other pics as well.
I grew a RSC Mango Thai that looked very similar to that.
