Genebank accessions | |
2019 RSC Turkish Reproduction is seed of an alleged Turkish cannabis landrace sold as Turkish by The Real Seed Company (RSC), which gives the sourcing as "Obtained via collector community".[1] The donor's note on a sample held by the USDA genebank says that the line came through a Spanish group that was breeding it for CBD, and that it has since been maintained without a view to increasing CBD.[2] The listing shows it out of stock at RSC and on its Kwik Seeds site (checked 27 October 2026).[1][3]
Geography
RSC gives a latitude of about 38° N and names no place in Turkey.[1]
History
RSC compares the line with Near Eastern dry-sieve hashish strains such as the Lebanese and Syrian, and considers that it was most likely domesticated for sieved hashish, perhaps with some history of use as bud.[1] It writes that significant amounts of CBD are likely in most plants, as is usual in Near Eastern hashish landraces, and that the trait may have been increased by western breeders interested in creating a CBD cultivar.[1] Its earliest archived version, of August 2019, said that the precise origin and characteristics of the strain were not yet known, but that it was a short, fast-flowering drug landrace collected in Turkey.[4]
Collection Details
The listing has given the sourcing as "Obtained via collector community" in every archived version since August 2019.[4] In August 2023 Angus gave two packets of Turkish seed to the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System, which holds them as accession G 33768 at its Plant Genetic Resources Unit in Geneva, New York.[2][5] The donor's note calls it seed of an alleged Turkish line and describes it as an heirloom; in September 2026 the donor added that "hashish" here means either flower or dry-sieved resin.[2]
Cultivation Details
RSC gives the purpose as hashish (sieved resin) or bud, and the regional harvest as late August through September, which it considers well suited to northern latitudes.[1]
Botanical Characteristics
RSC gives a height of 0.5 to 1.5 metres and describes fast-flowering, short, compact and resinous plants of moderate potency, with hashy, floral and spicy aromas and notes of coffee on curing, and chemotypes ranging from THC- to CBD-dominant.[1] The Kwik Seeds listing describes the leaflets as predominantly narrow but sometimes of medium width.[3] Since November 2024 the listing has shown field photographs of plants of the accession in mid-July, grown at 43° N according to its versions since February 2025.[6]
