Any pronounced properties of interest?
@Deebs , like you, I've felt most genetics are rather diluted. The purpose of my Nepalese projects is creating ceiling-less, old school highs that I remember. I have a couple of roadmaps I planned out in an attempt to get there. Knowing this journey is going to take some time, I threw in a couple of side projects to play with along the way as well. I'm aiming for something that not only includes, but has higher levels of THC-V. Without any solid, scientific evidence, since cannabinoids are still rather unknown with how they react with each other, it's my personal opinion that THC-V is a key component in unlocking the old school goals I'm after. THC-V is a known property of Nepalese which is the primary reason I chose it.
What did you think of it?
I don't have any solid, personal feedback to give you at this point in time. I started my Nepalese project earlier this year. Shortly after I started and dunked all of the seeds to hunt through, COVID happened. I decided it was best to shut down for awhile for personal reasons. I put all of my projects on hold. Since I knew projects were temporarily shutting down, and my hunt was going to be postponed, I used that opportunity to create more stock for future use. I was originally planning an open pollination for preservation purposes of the Nepal Highland. However one male in particular had impeccable structure. It was hands down the best naturally structured plant I have ever come across. So I mildly changed course because of it. I decided rather than doing an open pollination, I only used the pollen from this perfectly structured male. I let him pollinate every Nepalese female I had. I wanted to ensure his structure had an opportunity to influence any future stock that would be used when the hunt resumed post COVID. Because of this, I cannot give you personal feedback on any details of the strain because this is only as far as I've gotten with it. Everything was pollinated and I'm still shucking seeds from that run. I wasn't afforded the luxury of multiple grows or selecting females as previously mentioned. That is all still TBD and will take time.
What I do know is it's milder THC% wise. Which was of no concern to me because I'm not chasing the highest THC% possible but rather a specific cannabinoid profile. I personally don't believe it's all about THC% but rather the cannabinoid profile and how they react with each other, and more importantly THC-V.
Here's a few documented notes from other sources:
Strain Type: Highland Nepalese 5th generation- Nepal Highland P5 is a traditional pure landrace charas cultivated at Himalayan Nepal an altitude of between 1000m - 3000m received by Refeerman.
- Quick flowering mountain sativa.
- It's a plant of medium size, not specially long internodes, and very easy for growing. It has medium and strong branches. Also finding some much more conical production plants with not very developed branches.
- It has an acceptable size for any kind of space, both in outdoor and indoors.
- It flowers between 60-70 days giving some very good quality flowers. The majority of times they're dense and strong buds, but also there are some more sativa like-buds; a bit more airy.
Bouquet: From floral, citrus and sweet-creams scents
Effect: Strong high, uplifting and corporal, full body effect
Yield: High yielder indoor and outdoors
Anything your looking for?
Nothing in particular other than I'm always looking for older, harder to come by genetics to add into the vault. Out of curiosity, what did you have that you were thinking about trading?
