Tashkurgan - Heirloom Afghani Hash Plant

[Jim Dandy]

Doing a Heirloom grow. Should I keep this Heirloom Tashkurgan Afghani Hash Plant?
Note the extra two small leaflets in the center of the leaf, shading the larger leaf fingers below them.
All the sun leaves on this plant are showing this trait.
Is this common? Two out of twelve plants are showing this trait.
I thought it might be OK to keep if a female, maybe pull if a male?

I'll leave it to others to hypothesize about frequency, but I have personally seen this before, and when I posted something about other people had also seen it... so anecdotally it would seem it's not unheard of.

Other than that, yes, make seeds!

I've seen this before... Typically on very healthy plants. My thoughts were always that they were so healthy and had no where else to grow more fingered leaves as they naturally do, so they stacked on top of each other. I wouldn't put much concern towards it, other than it's gonna be good?

Isn't leaf bud mostly enzyme nutrient related? This at least seems very similar. Perhaps take some cuts? I should have ran the Neville's Haze that way befor doing the seed run (do a full cycle before making beans). It really allows time to flesh out anomalies like this and figure out whats normal for the plant given the circumstances.

I have a Hazeman Mikado I keep, that does that. I've yet to see a leaf "bud" but the single "middle finger" leaf comes along on every piece.

In my Skunk #1 preservation run i had one plant that all fans did that. Produced excellant!

If I understand correctly, this is a 100 % pure Indica ? I've not had a chance to see these before as I'm used to Hybrids, and I think it's wonderful that people are growing some of these old school genetics! Beautiful looking plant ! I'd love to grow some Afghani strains, and of course because I like Skywalker so much, I'd LOVE to get some Mazar-I-Shariff one day. I recently saw on Leafly that some people in India are traveling all over getting Land Race Seeds and adding them to their Seed Banks and selling them, and after checking their site, I was very happy to see Mazari was listed

@Psychobilly, I just picked up some Mazar x Mazar from new420guy. I'm also a Skywalker fan and run it in perpetual. Also running a Mazar x Deadhead OG. Should be interesting.

@Jim Dandy, hey mate how'd that girl do?

 

[Psychobilly]

Oh that's awesome!!! Not even gonna lie man; I was watching the news and they were talking about "Americans stuck in Afghanistan" and then I noticed they were in Mazar-I-Shariff and laughed my ass off..... Yeah they're "stuck" alright....To the couch LOL. I'm sitting there listening to these people talk about that and I'm over here wondering if the Taliban will open a board of tourism for me to visit haha!

I've got some Skywalker OG crossed with Pandora's Box. If you would like some seeds send me a private message.
I'm riding shank's mare for awhile, I'll be back in town next week.

I want to go too!!!

 

[Jim Dandy]

Well, she is a he! I am glad I kept him.
That's him in the background. Heirloom Tashkurgan #1. Getting a bit of pinkish-purple color on the male flowers.
Bottom left is female Heirloom Tashkurgan #2.
There are 18 male and female Tashkurgan plants. I think that is enough for a good solid Heirloom pollination for seed production.
The black spots are bees. They are getting most of the pollen.
My nearest neighbors, that grow, are a Long way away... between the distance and the bees all sensimilla is safe.

Yes, 100% pure Indica. I got the seeds from "The Real Seed Co."

 

[Ed Rooney]

So nice to see them grown outdoor in all their glory, 18 of each, what a run!

 

[Psychobilly]

Yeah for real those look amazing !

 

[Psychobilly]

OK so I've been reading about that strain here:

Tashkurgan - Kwik Seeds - Landrace Seeds - The Real Seed Company

Pure Afghan landrace strain cannabis seeds sourced direct from the hashish heartlands of northern Afghanistan by The Real Seed Company

kwikseeds.com

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After reading that, and seeing those pictures..... Taliban needs to hurry up and open a board of tourism....Not sure how I'd make it back considering I'd smell like dank and have 30 bags of seeds but it'd be awesome!

 

[Jim Dandy]

The finished product was awesome! Smoothest high I've ever experienced. I got the feeling this strain has been selected to perfection as far as effect goes.
I posted a smoke test over at:
2021 Summer, Outside, Backyard, Under the Stars...
I think it is on page 7.
