I'll post some photos in a moment - just want to see how some experienced growers do getting these varities to pop... the Golden Triangle has very large seeds with thick coats - the seeds are live but I have a feeling they may be tricky outside of their native enviro (may need heat mats)

all best,

Namkha

I'd love to test some for you.

Im a newbie but id be willin to give em a go

me too

The golden triangle, hmmmm sounds kinda trippy

I grow Aero/hydro in an amazon.

T1

well researched wasabi

The longest flowering strain i have tried so far is 13 weeks.

now that i know that though i think i'll grow them in compost if i am lucky enough to get selected.

T1

E2A: any info on the Kullu Jungli Namkha?? i have have had a look but cant find anything.

im in boss

hey - bloody hell - that was quick!

yeah two things to note with the Golden Triangle strain - 1. likely to have long flowering time 2. likely to be a very mild effect

this strain is more a curiosity - some people think the area is where all drug cultivars originated...

what this strain has going for it is 1. great flavour 2. dense buds with lots of resin

it could make for some interesting and tasty F1s (see what ACE have done with their orient express)

harvested in native enviro any time from Nov - Jan

as long as you are not from places where seeds are illegal drop me a pm with a safe addy - 1st ten people will get things sent out

Next time maybe

Just getting used to a new environment.....otherwise

pm sent

Wonder what that SE Asian would be like crossed with your traditional North Afghan charas cultivar - Mazar-i-Sharif?

I'm drooling thinking about it

I'll do it!

I've a spot of experience, though not the best grower mind....

why not .... me n all

phil

Put me on yer list pls. Would love a pop at some huge pips. Never have a prob crackin em!

hi there namhka..id love to test any seeds you may have..i have previously tested for magus,but unfortunately i have had police interference in my grow recently and lost all of my equipment and seeds on 13/5/08...luckily i got just a fine on my second offense of cultivation in two years.my solicitor seems to believe i have a chance of having my seeds at least returned to me(maybe 25-30 full packets of dutch and canadian genetics and a lot of my own cheese and ogkush crosses)so as you can imagine at this time seeds are really what i need...i would surely post on these forums any results i have with photos...heres hopefully and welcome to 420

Id like to give anything different a go if theres any chance namkha Im in. 908

sounds interesting

really!!? nice one!!

great -

just to let people who people who posted in this thread but didn't write to me direct - please pm me with a safe addy if you want me to send something out
still two/three more packs left

the Kullu jungli will obviously be a labour of love indoors - I would recommend running it outdoors or in a greenhouse

the Bokkeo Lao Jungle is a ganja sativa grown around the Mekong in northern Lao - it has a kind of nutmeg smell

the Golden Triangle Akka (Lao) I am very interested to see how it does - it is an "indica" strain

many thanks namkha, received mine today,

ill get cracking with a few over this weekend, im quite limited with my indoor space,

its going to be fun

Just found out mine have arrived

Can't wait to try them

thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou namkha

Cheers Namkha

i take it the GT lao are Golden triangle crossed lao?

as to what wasabi said i think he's right LMB, your gonna need a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE space to germ all of these at once!!

i'll be germing the Lao Bukkeo Jungle and the GT lao in around 4-5 weeks and they will get minimum veg time before they flower as my tent is only 2 meters tall, however i do have an extra 3-4 feet of space above the tent if its necessary, the Kullu Junglii will get grown after the other 2 have finished

T1

Thanks Namkha Just picked mine up - wow there is loads

I will be germing them when I get back from holiday - 2nd week of Sept. Will be doing similar to T1, however, germing all at the same time.

Once again, thank you.

I hope you like the diary I do of them.

Best Regards

A

hey

The GT Lao is the GT Akka - don't know why I wrote GT Lao instead - it is an indica type plant from Northern Lao, nr. Yunnan (S China) and Burma

don't get too happy as the Kullu Jungli will be likely to have low germination rates as they are from wild plants... if it was me I would find a way to grow them outdoors or in a greenhouse - you can check out mriko's pictures of Malana Shepherd, which is a jungli strain from the same area as this - i.e. Chandrakani Pass - to get an idea of the kind of plant it is... expect it to have big internodes

The GT Akka (i.e. GT Lao) you can expect to behave in a similar way to ACE's Yunnan

The Bokkeo Lao Jungle is a bit of a mystery and not as classy as the Highland Lao we put on sale -

I chucked the Bokkeo in as an extra if people are curious - might be amusing to cross it with the GTAkka - they are from a similar area so it gives you an idea of how much biodiversity there is in drug cannabis cultivars within a very small region... the Bokkeo strain I would expect to be a very tough narrow leaved ganja strain - the kind people will use for a guerilla grow in the jungle - just chuck some seeds and come back later - it has plenty of THC strength, whereas the GT Akka (i.e. GT Lao) has superb flavour, resin and smell

Namkha

Mriko's grow of a jungli strain from the same Chandrakani/Malana region as this jungli

more of the same jungli grow by Mriko

same jungli grow

cheers for the info Namkha

it took me a bit of effort to get the container open without loosing a bean, but i managed it

i plan on finding the best 20 from the tub and trying to germ them ( may even try to germ some tonight) i also have 2 Ace Chinese yunnan seeds which were given to my by a mate, i think i'll germ them at the same time as the GT akka and see what the difference are ( thats if i get a female from the yunnan's)

Normally i grow in the amazon 8 pot system, however these will be a compost grow, due to the finishing height.

I cant wait for the cheese to finish now coz A, i cant wait for the smoke and B then i can get these in there and see what proper landrace genetics look like

Thanks again namkha, your a star

T1

hey - here is a photo of the jungli charas rubbed by the old man who gave me the jungli seeds - very lemony citrus smell, a little roughness on the throat and some grogginess afterwards, but a soaring visual and heady high with a quick acting express rush

I would strongly recommend finding a way to grow the jungli outdoors next year - then you can rub your own hash too

i'd love to try my own hand rubbed, but where i am our growing season is far too short.

anything thats put out here needs to be finished in 8 weeks or less otherwise it gets too cold and wet.

I'm destined to grow indoors untill i move house and buy a green house

T1

Thank you Namkha! Got mine on saturday too!

Looking forward to getting a few started now.. I've got some plants coming down in the next week, so should have a space in my veg room soon!

I'll probably have a go at the golden triangle Akka first.. See if i can get them to pop..

Will start a diary when theres something to see.

Thanks again, and peace.

Stonehenge.

eta.. Those jungli pics look mouthwatering.. miht have to germ a few just for curiositys sake!

It sounds to me very like african bush weed. Allthough you say years ago so it could have been some nice thai.
The bushweed is often rubbish but occasionally you get some with a lovely creeper up hit.
hth

id love to try them outdoors for you

i been smoking the same thing recently but it was thai..........
its a great daytime smoke if you have things to do

High there!

I grew one kullu valley plant that turned out male. It had wider leaves than i had expected, maybe because of hybridization along the centuries, or perhaps this is where diversity was originally greatest. It grew very vigorously and was the most greenish green plant i've ever encountered. The stems had a smell of menthol or eucalyptus when fresh.

Imo very much related to the malanas i grew next to it.

How are the Malanas Dr.Psuedo?

Well, they developed a condition that looked like overdose, but that can't be because I didn't give em anything besides water. The cat probably made her business in the pot. I discarded the malanas because this happened at so early stage. I will give the strain another go later.

hey - did you spray them with anything - even neem or something organic? I have one other report of them being very sensitive too --- I have another accession from a different farmer, so if this turns out to be a consistent problem you can pm me and we can try a different batch


btw sorry to anyone I promised freebies --- there were about five of you I wrote to and didn't fiond time to post out to before my flight --- will make it up to you later

all best

Namkha

Well just pyrethrine to keep mites away. I think I'll buy some cactus soil for the next ones and if the problem continues I'll contact you.

Hey namkha

i'll be getting under way with some of the beans yo sent me around christmas time, i am just waiting on delivery of my new tent as i can still run my amazon and have your in compost at the side now, however it'll need to wait until christmas when i get my new 600w as the 400w i have just now is only adequate for covering the amazon.

looking forward to testing them mate

T1

Just started a new run with 7 seeds. Looking for a female now.

Cat shit in the pot again . None of the 7 have sprouted and probably won't. I'll keep tryin.

Namhka, I'm planning on breeding these into some outdoor plants in hopes of hardiness and mould tolerance, do you think they have the potential or should I get some pahari instead? Is the pahari much stronger?

My current grow room is in a garage and temperatures are 22c daytime and 15 during the nights. Might get down to 10, 5c in the winter time. I'm sure the junglis won't have any problems here.

Have you tried rain water ,, had the same problem with the lowryder2 ,s . they seemed to like the acid or somthing in it , just a thought

hey --- don't worry, junglis usually have very low germ rates, it may not be your cat's fault --- I hope I sent you enough you will get some to pop -- once you make your own seeds the germ rates should be fine

any hybrids you make I bet will have superb vigour and resistance ---

yes, the Paharis will also be excellent for this too --- they are very, very vigorous plants -- very hardy, excellent disease resistance, they will be great for outdoors work ---- 5c in winter will not bother them --- they finish outdoors at about 2700m in the first half Nov at about 30N - 32N, so they are well used to cold

do you mean stronger potency or stronger plants? I expect it will be easier to find potent plants in the Pahari, but actually there will not be a great difference --- wild populations will also contain many potent plants I believe, cf. Karl Hillig's work ---- IMHO it is the refinement of resins which is lost before potency, and even then some of the interesting highs in jungli come from resins which develop in feral populations

Yeah I was thinking potency. 11 seeds planted now, I'd expect some sprouts soon.

If I find a good phenotype i might introduce some wacky sativa lines to kullu genes

hey --- with the jungli I would expect to get one or two seeds to pop if you put down 11 to start, maybe more if you are lucky

yeah - I would pick the most citrusy up sativa you have and hybridise with that --- once you start hybridising I'm sure those up up and away jungli highs will be magnified massively

I'm sure you can get some interesting material to work with --- I just found some more pics of young jungli stands from Kullu I'll put them up later

just to reassure people --- the hashish and ganja lines which are actually up for sale will have 90% plus germ rates


would any people here be interested in something like this - a Jungli Three Pack?

Kumaoni Jungli -
Kullu Jungli
Nepalese Jungli

we could sell these by weight - say 0.5gm - 1gm of each --- so growers are guaranteed to get several plants of each --- maybe 30GBP for about 3gms or so of jungli seeds --- that would be about 300 seeds

I have a great new Nepalese jungli line too --- I believe it's from the same place that the Nepalese jungli used in Satori originates

Sounds great

I planted more seeds, this time using pre cracking and sea weed extract. I'm determined to get some plants to play with. If I do find an ok female I'll be sure to make some pure seeds as well as an array of hybrids. Jungli x White widow for hash.. jungli x CTS for the overal high.. Ah just day dreaming.

As for those three packs, go for it! I'd pretty sure get a pack with 38 or so euros.

What is the climate like in the kullu valley? Daily temperatures during sprouting and harvesting? Does it rain a lot during flowering? The leaves are pretty wide early on so i figured they must be drought tolerant, but can they withstand a cold and rainy autumn?

hey - monsoon in Kullu would normally be stopping or stopped by the end of Sept once the plants have begun seriously flowering

autumns should normally be very clear, dry and sunny --- like a perfect European summer, but with nights getting increasingly chilly as Nov gets closer

cold should be no prob at all --- as for rain, they should have pretty good resistance, but you will have to find out

been meaning to get some photos up

very good to hear that the jungli three pack idea is of interest

Namkha

Thanks for the details Two have sprouted, just took a little a longer. 10 days to be precise.

im in...........id love to test em 4 u...........

Namkha i got 100% germination rate with the mazar-i-shariff and there coming along nicely,a little stretched from being to far away from my lightwing but they look full on indica so far.I'll get a few pics of them soon.
