I have been to Angola a few times and smoked some excellent weed. I saw a big field of land race sativa and brought the seeds to my country. Now i want to mix them with some other strains. First I want to know exactly what I have. Is it possible for greenhouse seeds to do the research or does anyone know a good lab in Holland or mainland Europe who can research this for me? And what are the costs for researching a strain?

Hi mate ;)

 

Generally, the strains obtained there are pure sativas (landraces Angola). However it is possible that you may have some strain yet to discover, there are always new things :)

In order to analyze a strain it is necessary to flower, so we can see its characteristics (leaves, growth, buds, internodal length, flowering time): This will give us key information to know what type of strain we have.

Once the flowering is finished, you can send buds to a laboratory for analysis, and see the amount of different cannabinoids (thc, cbd, etc....) and also the terpenes (taste, smell, etc...).

So what should you do? If possible, you should try the strain yourself first. And then you can analyze.

Greetings!!

Thank you Jose,

 

That usefull information.

 

I'm growing the landrace as we speak. I have a different location where I grow a male for the pollination. I want to cross Greenhouse seed Kalashnikova, becease of the compactness of the plant. I have to do 3 or 4 generations of crossing to get a stable fenotype but i'm sure this is the way to go. Also will be trying other strain but first work this out. wish I could speed up the process it takes so long.  "patience is a virtue".

Well, if you want to take a shortcut, you can always do an S1.

Cross your best strains and collect the seeds. Make a selection with those seeds, save a clone of them all.

When you know which is the best strain (the one you like best), make an S1.

S1 = Two identical clones (same mother plant), one clone we put to flower (female). The second clone we reverted, for take a  male flowers.  We pollinate clone 1 with clone 2 and obtain feminized S1 seeds.

Many times the S1's are stable, you just have to do a test to check the quality. 


Greetings!

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
