Pulga is a landrace cannabis accession from Pulga village in the Parvati Valley, Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India, listed as Pulga Village | Parvati Valley in the catalogue of Coco Genes and filed there under "2020 Season".[1]
Geography
The listing gives the altitude as 2,895 m and a coordinate, "31.999229° N 77.44191° E", stating the village is "accessible only by foot" and "a few hours hike from the town of Barshiani", in Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh.[1] It names the village as home to "the Narayan Rishi sacred cove", which it says protects dense deodar forest "almost entirely covered in snow during the winter months of November – March".[1] A separate 2020 Overgrow post independently calls it "a Parvati valley landrace from a remote village called Pulga, near 10,000 feet".[2]
Collection
The listing credits "the eldest members of the village", who tell of "a time when the first foreign travellers arrived to discover the flavors of the village 5-6 generations back", after which "[f]armers have struggled to meet the demand from the insurge of tourists through experimenting with the newly acquired knowledge to process the flowers in different methods and selecting the plants in improved ways".[1] It states that "[y]ears of selection and breeding by the natives have led to one of the most colourful and vibrant lineages found in Parvati valley".[1] No individual collector or exact date is named; the listing is filed under "2020 Season", treated here as an identifier, not a stated collection date.
Botanical Characteristics
The listing states that landraces from the region "express wide variety of colors and structures", illustrated on the listing with microscope images at 60x magnification, and describes the cultivars as "[i]ncredibly tolerant to cold and moisture", documented to grow for "upto a month and more covered in snow and icicles".[1]
