Nangarhar General Population 2022 is a landrace cannabis accession from Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan, listed as Nangarhar in the seed catalogue of The Real Seed Company (RSC).[1] RSC describes it as a short, compact Indica landrace grown for dry-sieved charas, collected from the winter 2022 harvest in the Hindu Kush mountains of eastern Afghanistan.[1] The line is on sale at RSC and on its Kwik Seeds site (checked 27 October 2026).[1][2]
Geography
RSC places the collection in the Hindu Kush mountains of eastern Afghanistan and gives a latitude of 34° N.[1]
Collection Details
The listing gives the sourcing as "Landrace Genetics, Nangarhar, Afghanistan (2022)" and calls the seed a semidwarf landrace newly collected from the winter 2022 harvest.[1] RSC announced it in February 2023 among newly collected accessions from Afghanistan,[3] and in August 2024 wrote that the Landrace Genetics team had collected it.[4]
In August 2023 Angus gave two packets of Nangarhar seed to the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System, with a donor's note dating the collection to the harvest of winter 2022 in Nangarhar. The system holds the seed as accession G 33746 at its Plant Genetic Resources Unit in Geneva, New York.[5][6] The note adds that Central Asian drug-type landraces are always grown as a seeded crop and that the seed is an important part of the winter diet in mountain regions such as the Hindu Kush.[5]
Cultivation Details
RSC gives the purposes as sieved charas and culinary seed, and the harvest as October, and lists outdoor, greenhouse or indoor growing. It reports that the seed was retested in summer 2025 and showed close to 100 per cent germination.[1] In May 2025 the listing offered the seed at a discount, noting that it came from the winter 2022 harvest and that its viability might have dropped below 80 per cent.[7]
Botanical Characteristics
RSC describes a short, compact Indica that appears to conform closely to the classic Indica morphology.[1] It names this accession and Mazar-i-Sharif #2 as the two RSC accessions that can show particularly strong Indica morphology.[8] The listing's photographs show plants of the accession at 43° N in mid-July.[1]
