Kalamata Red General Population 2004 is a landrace cannabis accession obtained from a farming family in the Kalamata region of Messenia, Greece, in 2004. The seed came to The Real Seed Company (RSC) through Delicorganic.[1][2]
Geography
RSC reports that the line was collected from a farming family in the Kalamata region, and its sourcing line reads "near Messinia, Kalamata". It gives a latitude of about 37° N.[1]
Collection Details
The RSC listing gives the sourcing as Delicorganic, near Messinia, Kalamata, Greece (2004), and the Kwik Seeds listing of the same line, on the shop RSC calls its other site,[3] as Delicorganic, Kalamata, Greece (2004).[1][2] According to RSC, the family had grown the line in their village for more than 30 years until enforcement pressure ended cultivation there, and the village is now abandoned.[1] Neither listing names the village or the family.
RSC considers the origin of the line unverified and reports that the Phylos Galaxy chart shows no immediate ancestor for it.[1] An RSC blog post of May 2024 names Kalamata Red among the Greek heirlooms that, it says, have had up to a century of selection for use as bud since the Greek hashish industry ended in the 1930s.[4]
Derived material
The seed RSC sells has been maintained and selected ex situ since, most recently from several selected mothers and a choice "alpha male" from the 2019 generation, and is recorded at 2004 RSC Kalamata Red IBL.[1]
