1990 RSC Ketama 'Beldia' IBL is an inbred line that The Real Seed Company (RSC) created from Ketama 'Beldia' General Population 1990, seed of the beldiya landrace collected in Ketama, Morocco, in the early 1990s. RSC lists it as Beldia and describes it as a Ketama heirloom, believed to be a pure Moroccan line that has never been outcrossed.[1]
Breeding
RSC uses the term heirloom for cannabis landraces that have undergone several generations of modern selective breeding without outcrossing. It reports that several generations of intensive breeding have made the line well suited to use as bud and adapted it to outdoor growing at northern latitudes.[1] Neither RSC nor the Kwik Seeds listing of the same line, on the shop RSC calls its other site,[2] says how many generations were grown, where, or by whom.[3]
Cultivation Details
RSC reports that the line matures very early, outdoors in August or September and indoors in about seven to eight weeks. It lists indoor, outdoor or greenhouse growing.[1] RSC notes that some aficionados call very early landraces such as Beldia, Lebanese and Sinai "semi-auto".[1] Versions of the listing from 2020 to June 2025 described the line itself as semi-autoflowering.[4][5]
A customer review quoted by RSC reports about 140 grams of dry-sieved resin and 2 pounds (about 0.9 kg) of bud from one summer's grow.[1]
Botanical Characteristics
RSC describes a short, compact and intensely resinous line. It reports that, as with unworked Moroccan landraces, the line reaches no more than 2 metres and that plants are typically no taller than 1 metre.[1] Versions of the listing from 2020 to 2024 gave a height of under 1.5 metres outdoors and described minimal branching and medium-width leaflets.[4][6] In 2020 the listing classified the line as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica var. afghanica × C. sativa subsp. indica var. indica.[4]
RSC calls the line a useful breeding parent and an example of what inbreeding can achieve with landraces such as Lebanese, Syrian and Sinai.[1]
Source accession
The founder seed was collected in Ketama in the early 1990s. The Rif geography, the landrace and its local name are at Ketama 'Beldia' General Population 1990.[1]
