Humla Jungli Feral Reproduction 2021 is a feral landrace cannabis accession from Humla District, Nepal, listed as Humla Jungli in the seed catalogue of The Real Seed Company (RSC).[1] RSC classifies it as a feral Himalayan landrace of intermediate domestication.[1]
Geography
RSC describes the source as very remote mountains in far-west Nepal, on one of the main pilgrimage trails to Mount Kailash, the sacred peak said to be the home of Shiva and Parvati. It gives a latitude of about 30° N.[1]
According to RSC, uncultivated cannabis grows profusely along some stretches of the route from Humla toward the Tibetan border. It grows particularly on disturbed ground below the tracks and roads that follow the mountainside above the Karnali River. RSC reports a form of Datura with vivid blue flowers growing alongside these plants.[1]
Collection Details
The listing gives the sourcing as The Real Seed Company, Humla, Nepali Himalaya (winter 2021). RSC states that the original collection was made in October 2021.[1] According to RSC, the original seeds came from an ethnically Tibetan householder who was hand-rubbing wild-growing stands to make charas.[1] RSC states that the seeds it now sells come from a new ex situ maintenance grow.[1] The Kwik Seeds listing of the same line, on the shop RSC calls its other site,[2] gives the same sourcing and account.[3]
Cultivation Details
RSC gives the purposes as charas (hand-rubbed resin) and seed, and the harvest as late September through October. It lists greenhouse or outdoor growing.[1] RSC states that the line is not an autoflowering or day-neutral variety and expects peak flowering from around late September into October.[1]
RSC advises that storing the seeds in a freezer for several weeks, where legal, can improve germination. It notes that feral cannabis seeds typically germinate slowly and unevenly over several weeks, and that some may remain dormant for more than a year.[1]
Botanical Characteristics
RSC gives a height of 1 to 4 metres and describes the plants as hardy and resinous.[1] It reports a very compact structure in the vegetative stage, with eight leaf sets within 15 centimetres. It also reports about sixfold stretch in a 5-gallon pot and profuse branching.[1] According to RSC, bud density varies from loose to quite dense, and resin production can be excellent, with a high density of resin glands.[1] The Kwik Seeds listing adds long internodes to the line's characteristics.[3]
Aroma
RSC lists floral, fruity, citrus, mango and "hash" aromas.[1]
