Identifier
The accession identifier is KHA-AFG-JOW-0120180001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.
- Holder segment
KHAstands for Khalifa Genetics. - Province segment
JOWis for Jowzjan Province, named by the company. - Year 2018 is the collection year the company states: "Landrace Genetics personally collected seeds in the Jowzjan Province near the city of Sheberghan in 2018". It is the seller's account and is attributed to it in the article.
- Month 01 is the placeholder used when no month is given.
Sourcing
Khalifa Genetics' own product page (https://khalifagenetics.com/product/sheberghan-hashplant/), read live on 12 October 2026 and in Wayback Machine captures of 22 September 2020 (the earliest) and 24 June 2024 (the latest, whose description matches the live page). The collection sentence is the same in all three. The page's own data gives a publication date of 10 January 2020.
ACE Seeds' English listing (https://www.aceseeds.org/en/seeds/sheberghan-regular-seeds/), read live on 12 October 2026. ACE Seeds stocks the line and its listing reproduces much of Khalifa Genetics' text. Its specification table (Type and Genetics rows, flowering times, bouquet) is ACE's own and is cited to ACE.
Every statement about the line is the company's account of its stock and is attributed to it. No farmer, village or collection site is named.
Typing
- Classification: Landrace. The company writes: "Landrace Genetics personally collected seeds in the Jowzjan Province near the city of Sheberghan in 2018." It calls the line a hash plant used by farmers near Sheberghan. That places the source of the seed with growers near the city. The accession is classified Landrace, by inference from the company's account, which names no farmer or village. The account has not been checked against other sources. An earlier version of this note classified the line as Other, on the ground that a vendor listing does not establish the class of the source population.
- Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. The chain of custody from the source population to the seed on sale is the company's account and no other source records it.
- Accession type is left empty. No source names a documented parent collection.
- Collection date: 2018, the company's stated year. The collector, Landrace Genetics, is named in the article and not entered in the infobox: the field links a page and no page about Landrace Genetics is planned.
- Cultivation status: Unknown. The company's page offered seed on 12 October 2026 (marked in stock). That says nothing about whether the source population is still grown.
- Traits. Flowering times are ACE's figures; aroma and effects are the company's.
Source discrepancies
- Generation. ACE's English listing: Type "INDICA LANDRACE STRAIN (P3)", Genetics "Landrace strain (P2) open pollinated indoors to increase the sexual stability". Its Spanish listing: "VARIEDAD PURA (P3) DE SEGUNDA GENERACIÓN" and "Variedad pura de segunda generación". The article reports both labels and does not choose.
- Aroma. ACE's bouquet adds fruity and citrus notes; the infobox uses the company's description.
Other lots of the line
Landrace Genetics is also the sourcing name on The Real Seed Company's Balkhi of 2018 (RSC-AFG-BAL-0120180001), from the neighbouring province. That is a different line and place.
Photographs
The photograph on this page comes from the image gallery of Khalifa Genetics' own listing for the line, as it stood on 12 October 2026, and was retrieved from the Wayback Machine's copy of the same file; the file page gives the source file and the capture. The gallery holds 4 photographs; the other 3 are not used here. The listing carries no captions and credits no photographer. The captions here describe only what each photograph shows. The listing gives no date, place or grower for any photograph, so the pictures illustrate the line as the seller presents it and are not collection documentation. They are used under a fair-use rationale.
Georeferencing
The point 36.67, 65.75 is the city of Sheberghan, OpenStreetMap node 312595265 (place=city), in Shibirghan District, Jowzjan. The listing says that the seed was collected "near the city of Sheberghan", not in it, so the uncertainty takes in the city and the country around it. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 10 km.
Conservation priority
Not rated. The listing gives nothing about the size or status of a source population.
