Fulkardabri - Sujan's Selection #1 2025 is a domesticate landrace cannabis accession collected by Éloïse of the Zomia Collective in West Bengal, India.
Geography
Fulkardabri is located in Cooch Behar District, West Bengal, India, within the Mekliganj landrace cannabis growing area of the North Bengal Plains growing region.
Administratively, the area belongs to Mekliganj CD block in the sub-district of Mekliganj which itself belongs to the Cooch Behar district of West Bengal state.
Collection Details
This accession was documented by Isabella & Éloïse in June 2025. A total of 23 seeds were given to Éloïse by a local cannabis grower alias 'Sujan'. The seeds come from an autochthonous, cultivated landrace cannabis population of 20 plants grown by Sujan near Fulkardabri village.
Cultivation Details
Sujan cultivates cannabis on a small scale, within a larger context of widespread regional cultivation. His cultivation of cannabis is discrete, with his plants dissimulated within the margins of the garden on his property, growing alone along walls and fences. Beyond cannabis, the family grows diverse crops, including but not limited to local Bengali crops such as mustard, gourds and more.
The seeds that Sujan grows are sourced through diverse means. Primarily, he plants seeds that he grows himself on the farm directly into the ground on prepared plots. Sometimes, he plants seeds from exceptional flowers sourced locally. On two occasions, he has sourced seeds from outside of the growing area. Once from Manipuri flower he found on the local market that contained seeds. Another time, he sourced hybrid genetics online from an Indian seed bank. Both times he made sure to segregate the plants that he grew from those seeds away from local plants.
The plants are grown according to the monsoons, with two cycles of planting and harvesting per year. The first cycle starts with planting from May to June and harvest occurs between October and January. The second cycle planting takes place from October to November while the harvest starts in April and finishes in May.
Indoors, the plants are estimated to flower within 18-24 weeks.
Botanical Characteristics
The plants are tall, with most plants between two and three meters in height.
In terms of morphology, the plants were exhibiting a natural apical dominance and growing in a classic 'christmas tree' pattern. The leaf shape is narrow, slender and long with up to 9 leaflets or more. Serration is average, shallow if anything.
The plants are light green in color, both stem and leaf. Stigmas were immature, though dried flowers later revealed brown hairs.
The dried flowers from this accession were processed as ganja with whole branches dried and cured before being wrapped in plastic and stored. The buds themselves were relatively big, fluffy and thick after processing. This is on account of the 'wrapping' process lightly compressing the flowers and giving them structure.
Aroma
Though the exact terpenes are unknown, the smell is recorded as having been sweet and fruity.
Effects
Powerful, psychedelic head high - prone to anxiety and discomfort. See smoke reports.
Conservation Status
The accession is recorded at high conservation priority.
Eradication campaigns and other law enforcement actions regularly occur in this area. Due to the location close to the border, the area is also subject to enforcement actions conducted by border patrol and the army such as extensive checkpoints.
