Welcome to Landrace.Wiki
The definitive reference for landrace cannabis genetics, cultivation and conservation.
Landrace cannabis represents the original, pure genetic foundations of Cannabis before modern hybridization. These ancient varieties evolved naturally in their native environments over thousands of years, shaped by local climate, soil and traditional cultivation practices. Each landrace tells the story of both the plant's adaptation and the cultures that stewarded these genetics through generations.
This wiki serves as a comprehensive repository for preserving the knowledge, genetics, and cultural heritage of these irreplaceable cannabis populations from around the world.
