Hoper Valley, Ancestral Cannabis Hub now discovered

An ancestral cannabis producing hub, Gilgit Hoper valley, Tibetan plateau.
Region which borders with western china.
Having 4,600 ft. of elevation above sea level, plants here are early flowering with not more than 8-9 weeks of flowering. Definitely an interesting region to work on.
More detailed work is coming this year soon, I am going on a big detailed hunt of Ancestral Indica Landraces which is only possible with your support.

Genetics sourced from the Glacier region of Tibetan plateau.
Gilgit Baltistan is situated at the North of Pakistan and to the East it borders with the neighboring Chinese province Xinjiang .
In today's world Gilgit is the meeting ground of all the close neighbors like Afghanistan, China and Russia.
Geographically Gilgit is present on the Parallel of Latitude
35 and 37 and the meridians of Longitude 74 and 75 .

Indigenous regions which are regarded as origin of C. plant are said to be Central Asia, north-west and north-east Asia.
Some also suggest that the C. plant is native to China and the Himalayas.
In past years my collections from both foothills of Himalayas and Tibetan plateau near Pak/China Border have made unique discoveries to make both population’s comparison.

There were 2 types within the population (truly domesticated BLDs and Semi-domesticated narrow leaflet C. variants) on the Tibetan plateau (Tundra/Glacier region) in Gilgit baltistan, as we got to find out that people from Hoper valley Gilgit have their relatives residing in China, Kashgar and Xingyang are allowed to travel in and out from the Khunjerab trade pass without much restrictions.

The Himalayan foot hills of Azad Kashmir where the soil does not freeze and has significant precipitation characterized as subtropical highland with warm and wet summers and cold winters. This particular region has some of the eccentric phenotype population which is wild and not influenced by humans but possesses a larger leaflet surface area similar to well domesticated Hash plants


PS: The Gilgit C. population has the biggest seeds I’ve ever encountered, yes! I have got my hands on Afghans, Balochi, HK but these are nothing in size compared to Gilgit region.
The Azad Kashmir region despite of larger leaflet surface area has tiny seeds which describes its primordial nature.
