Hindu Kush Pakistan, Hash & Seed sifting

As I've already posted A thread regarding Koh-e-Sulaiman's Tribal Landrace Tirah Valley Regional Hash plants.

I really appreciate the response! Thank you everybody.

So I've decided to share that how the harvest becomes the signature Tirah Garda & how do we sort seeds in Tirah Valley Pakistan.
Since the region has endless cultivation of Cannabis, acres of acres growing regional Hash plants for the purpose of obtaining hash.
It also increases the effort to put in for the sifting, but the tribal people of Hindu Kush are smart in way that they use the help of nature to finish there harvest to make beautiful blonde hash.

The Tirah valley Hash is famous for its relaxing, acute apatite inducing effects and a couch lock with face melting high.

The sifting for such delight is done by drying the harvest under sky until the first snow.
According to the tribesmen the snow facilitates the separation of trichomes, and smooth multiple sifting for multiple grades of Garda.

Sifting is being done on an ancient sifting apparatus in the Hindu Kush Pakistan which also can be found in Southern Afghanistan.
The first sift creates best pure Garda of no impurities, prior to sifting the sifting area is cleaned and enclosed with Big plastic tarps.

The climate nurtures the plants in a way that that the Hash extraction process does not need much processing of the product to have it pure.
i.e The frequency of rain takes away dust, and snowfall in harvest season facilitates the trichomes to be collected easily.
Tirah Valley is the hub of Diversity and the Landrace which has been selected by the tribes only for the production of hash for centuries. The tangy and unusual spicy aroma arising from the plants makes it demanding to the old school Hash enthusiasts and has a distinguished place in the hearts of our community.

The bio mass after sifting is put into the Sacks to sift it for the Fresh seeds.

My American friend told me such that his philosophy is "abundance creates abundance, and you can’t approach farming, gardening, or seed saving through an economical model, have to approach with a mindset that the plants we grow are sacred"


I value the seeds as sacred and my sharing of plants knowledge is my sacred duty.
