Identifier
The accession identifier is KHA-PAK-KHY-0120250001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.
- Holder segment
KHAstands for Khalifa Genetics. - Province segment
KHYis for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the province of Khyber District, as on the other Pakistani accessions from the province. - Year 2025 is the year of the earliest dated document found that lists the line: Khalifa Genetics' own product page, whose page data gives a publication date of 26 December 2025. The Wayback Machine holds no capture of the page under any form of its address, and ACE Seeds' product catalogue of 27 February 2026 is later. No source gives a collection year, so, as for other vendor accessions without one, the identifier takes the first attested year. It is a lower bound, not a collection date, and moves if an earlier listing is found.
- Month 01 is the placeholder used when the year comes from first attestation.
Sourcing
Khalifa Genetics' own product page (https://khalifagenetics.com/product/tirah-maidan-hashplant/), read live on 12 October 2026. It has no archived copy.
ACE Seeds' Spanish listing (https://www.aceseeds.org/semillas/tirah-maidan-semillas-regulares/), read live on 12 October 2026. Its English listing could not be retrieved, so the Spanish one is cited. ACE Seeds stocks the line and its listing reproduces much of Khalifa Genetics' text. Its specification table (Type and Genetics rows, flowering times, bouquet) is ACE's own and is cited to ACE.
Every statement about the line is the company's account of its stock and is attributed to it. Tokecity is a pseudonym and is not entered as collector.
Typing
- Classification: Landrace. The company writes: "A trusted Pakistani-English strain hunter known as Tokecity collected the original seeds directly at source in Tirah Maidan, Northern Tirah, and gifted them to us." It says that the valley has a long history of small-scale cannabis farming. That places the source of the seed with growers at Tirah Maidan. The accession is classified Landrace, by inference from the company's account, which names no farmer 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 vendor listing does not establish the class of the source population.
- Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. The chain of custody from the source population to the seed on sale is the company's account and no other source records it.
- Accession type is left empty. The company describes a reproduction run and ACE labels the seed P2, but no source names a documented parent collection.
- Locality: Tirah Maidan, as the company names the collection place.
- Cultivation status: Unknown. The company's page offered seed on 12 October 2026 (marked in stock). That says nothing about whether the source population is still grown.
- Traits. Flowering times, aroma and effects are the company's. ACE's Spanish listing gives 10 weeks indoors.
Seller text not used
The page's statement that "Pashtun tribes, especially the Afridi, introduced the plant to the region around six hundred years ago" is a historical claim in seller copy with no source and is not used.
Photographs
The photograph on this page comes from the image gallery of Khalifa Genetics' own listing for the line, as it stood on 12 October 2026, and was retrieved from the Wayback Machine's copy of the same file; the file page gives the source file and the capture. The gallery holds 4 photographs; the other 3 are not used here. The listing carries no captions and credits no photographer. The captions here describe only what each photograph shows. The listing gives no date, place or grower for any photograph, so the pictures illustrate the line as the seller presents it and are not collection documentation. They are used under a fair-use rationale.
Georeferencing
OpenStreetMap has no object named Tirah Maidan or Tirah Valley (spellings tried: "Tirah Maidan", "Tirah Maidan, Khyber", "Tirah Maidan, Pakistan", "Tirah Valley", "Tirah Valley, Khyber", "Tirah Valley, Khyber District", "Tirah Valley, Pakistan", "Tirah Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa", "Maidan, Bara Tehsil"). It has Tirah Tehsil in Khyber District (relation 16478635, 288 km²) and, within it, a village named Bagh Maidan (node 5996567267). The point 33.81, 70.75 is the middle of Tirah Tehsil, inside its boundary and less than 1 km from Bagh Maidan. It is an area point for the tehsil, not the place the seed was gathered, and it does not depend on reading Bagh Maidan as the company's Tirah Maidan. Basis: district point. Uncertainty: about 10 km.
Conservation priority
Not rated. The listing gives nothing about the size or status of a source population.
