Identifier
The accession identifier is DCC-AFG-HEL-0120160001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.
- Holder segment
DCCstands for the Derg Corra Collective. - Province segment
HELis for Helmand Province, as on RSC-AFG-HEL-0120220001. The listing writes "Helman province"; SeedFinder's lineage entry reads "Southern Afghanistan [geoinfo: Helmand]". - Year 2016. No source says when the seed was collected or when the soldier served. The identifier takes the year of the earliest dated listing: SeedHeaven's shop software dates the creation of the listing to 2 July 2016. A listing can be recreated, so the year dates the page, not the seed.
- Month 01 is a placeholder; no month is stated.
Sourcing
SeedHeaven's listing (https://seedheaven.org/product/afghan-helmand/, read on 8 and 12 October 2026, unchanged) gives the place and the growing figures. SeedFinder's page for the line carries a longer "Derg Corra Collective Description" with the account of the seed's collection and of the seed run. Both are the collective's own account and are attributed to it.
Typing
- Classification: Landrace. The collective's description traces the seed to buds that a soldier took from cannabis fields in Helmand Province, where soldiers rested; the buds were full of seed, and the seed on sale was reproduced from it. That places the source of the seed in a field crop. The accession is classified Landrace, by inference from the collective's account, which names no field, district or date. The account has not been checked against other sources. An earlier version of this note classified the line as Other, on the ground that a seller's account does not establish the class of the source population.
- Accession type: Reproduction. The description says a grower did "a seedgrow on these nice affies for the DCC".
- Sourcing type is empty: the description does not say how many generations lie between the seed from the buds and the seed on sale.
- Parent accession is empty: the seed the reproduction was made from is not an accession on the wiki.
- Flowering time and effect are the listing's.
Evidentiary scope
The seed came from buds taken from cannabis fields where soldiers rested, somewhere in Helmand Province. No field, district or date is named. The description's account of why the soldier later used the seed concerns a person's health and is not used.
Georeferencing
No point is given. The seed on sale is a grow-out, and the only place named is Helmand Province, about 58,000 km² (OpenStreetMap relation 1674573), with no place within it.
People
The description names, by first name or forum handle, the people who collected the seed or grew the reproduction. The article names none of them, as on Derg Corra Collective.
Conservation priority
Not rated. The description says nothing about the fields beyond their presence.
