1972 UMS Korea K A1 Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Korea. It is known from three herbarium sheets gathered between 31 July and 1 August 1972 by Richard Evans Schultes, Timothy Plowman and T. E. Lockwood in the National Institute of Mental Health Cannabis Garden of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy. The labels carry the lot code K A1 and call the plants a first generation. The sheets are held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1]
Seed lot
Every label reads K A 1 - Korean, first generation.[1] Every label adds that the lot was planted on 21 March 1972 (3-21-1972).[1][2][3] The garden grew the Korean original sample, K A (UMS-KOR-UNK-0019720001), and a second generation, K A2 (UMS-KOR-UNK-0019720001-R2), in the same season.
Grow-out
The garden lay on university land at University, in Lafayette County, Mississippi. The sheets of this lot carry the plant numbers 83 A, 83 B and 83 D, one letter to a plant.[1] In 1968 the National Institute of Mental Health offered a contract for the supply of standardised marijuana to researchers, and Norman Doorenbos, who chaired the university's Department of Pharmacognosy, won it. The university's own account of the programme says that the first experimental plot, grown that year, was sown with seed from Mexico, Panama, Southeast Asia, Korea, India, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Lebanon, and that a secured garden was built in 1969 for the first substantial crop.[4] Schultes and his co-authors later wrote that their collections and studies in the extensive Mississippi plantation and elsewhere had shown that the characters of growth habit in cannabis seemed to be genetically stable.[5]: 356
Specimens and identification
On 16 February 1976 Ernest Small determined the three sheets as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica, the name under which Harvard files them.[1] On the same day he determined the sheets of K A2 as Cannabis sativa var. kafiristanica.
