Identifier

The accession identifier is HCG-GRC-MES-0120220001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.

Holder segment HCG stands for Hippie Cannabis Genetics.
Year 2022 is the year of the earliest dated mention of the line as the business's that was found: a post on the growers' forum Overgrow of 29 December 2022 (https://overgrow.com/t/what-are-your-rarest-or-oldest-seeds-clones-in-the-collection/98449/25). No source gives a collection year. It is a lower bound, not a collection date, and moves if an earlier record is found. Common Crawl's crawls of SeedFinder from 2019 to 2024 hold no page of the business, and the Wayback Machine's first capture of its SeedFinder breeder page is of 13 September 2025.
Month 01 is the placeholder used when the year comes from a first dated mention rather than a stated collection date.
Province segment MES. The business names "the Kalamata region". Kalamata is the seat of the regional unit of Messenia, so the province field is Messenia and the segment is MES, as on the Delicorganic Kalamata Red accession DEL-GRC-MES-0120040001. The province is a gazetteer reading of the place the business names, not the business's own word.
Sequence 0001. It is the only accession of the business for this country, province segment and year.

Sourcing

The business's description of the line on SeedFinder (https://seedfinder.eu/en/strain-info/greek-kalamata-red/hippie-cannabis-genetics) was read on 8 October 2026 and saved. Every statement about the line's origin, plants, aroma and effect is the business's own account of its stock and is attributed to it. The Overgrow post that dates the line is attributed to its author by username.

The description names no collector, village or date of collection. In December 2022 another Overgrow member asked where the business had obtained the line; no answer was found, and no source for the stock is known.

Typing

Classification: Other. The business's description of its stock is its own claim and is attributed in the article; a seller's listing does not establish the class of the source population.
Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. The listing gives no chain of custody from a source population to the seed on sale.
Accession type is left empty: the listing does not say whether the seed on sale is an original collection or a reproduction.
Traits. The flowering times, leaf shape, aromas and effects in the infobox are the business's own descriptions.

Georeferencing

The business names "the Kalamata region" and no place within it. "Kalamata region" is not an administrative unit; the point 37.10, 22.14 is the middle of the Municipality of Kalamata in OpenStreetMap (relation 2171629, about 442 km²), taken as the area the business names. The middle falls inside the municipality and inside Messenia. It is an area point for the municipality, not the place the plants were grown; the city of Kalamata itself (OpenStreetMap node 193699922) is about 7 km to the south-south-west. Basis: district point. Uncertainty: about 12 km.

Conservation priority

Not rated. The listing gives nothing about the size or status of a source population.
