the areas were the marijuana grows wild usually you would need a NOC
from the government because its dangerous for foreigners to travel up here with out a police escort. police is the last thing you want when you are hunting for strains !!!type of legal certificate issued by any agency, organisation, institute or, in certain cases, an individual. It does not object to the covenants of the certificate"
when i use to watch " strainhunter" tv and seem them roaming around in congo and other African countries i noticed they have never been to Pakistan they been gathering and collecting seeds from India which is just across the border but none of them have ever been to Pakistan or Kashmir probably because its difficult to obtain the NOC or they are just shit scared in general in being kidnapped.
isnt central asia were cannabis first grew, places like uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, India etc... so arnt these the best places to look for land strains in the whole world???
lets just say i could this with a few Pakistani friends i have known from my university days in UK i kept in touch with them over the years even before facebook was invented,
ive been chatting to them and the NOC certificate will be sorted out and i wont have any issues. i will have the use of a 4x4 jeep and a driver who has driven all over the valleys in the northern areas and gilgit baltistan.
i have been growing indoors and outdoors for over 15 years now, but i have no clue what the fuck makes up a landrace.
if you were in my position and say the NOC and the transport plus safety was all sorted out how would you go about looking for land-strains ??
is it guess work, you bring the seeds back to your country and grow them out and see what happens???
how do you choose which seeds in a field to take if you come across flowering females in a field in the middle of a valley ?
or you sample the bud and if it gets you high and you like the taste you grab the seeds?
how do you tell if you come across a field of landstrains ? will they kinda all look the same due to them being pollinated by the same strain over a period of time?
thanks !!!
