Preservation run on these lovely genetics. First time growing Indians out so stoked on that.
I’m 2 miles from the Humboldt Coastline, at 1100 feet.
Always looking for mold resistant and low maintenance cultivars.

Love this stuff. Seems to be high CBN but with a great amount of thc as well, seeing as how it is quite euphoric. Could be other fringe cannabinoids or other compounds too seeing as how this is a landrace.
It’s a completely unique gene pool based on what’s available through breeders, as it came from a Pakistan native who brought the seeds with him when he moved his family to Humboldt a few years ago.
Most aromas are thick and earthy, from chocolate and coffee to gasoline soaked raspberries. This past year however some citrus genes got expressed and the pomelo aroma off of one in particular was divine and I don’t tend to like citrus in herb.
The last picture was taken about 3 miles closer to the coast, and it’s the biggest plant from this pool that I’ve seen. It was over 6 feet for sure.
Its flowers compete with many modern day cultivars, and I am pleasantly surprised by how mold resistant they are.
I live close to the coast in northern Humboldt, so if a plant is mold resistant I know it, and last year especially I didn’t really spray anything (I usually just use homemade kombucha vinegar) to really see what I had that was mold resistant. It’s a lot of work and I lose plants for sure but this is what it takes to breed fantastic strains.

Alrighty so a few people the other day were saying that cannabis isn’t perennial, and that the plants I was posting might be seedlings that dropped from last year.
I get why that would be said, but it definitely made me chuckle a bit 😇 I planted these seeds around March 2025, they flowered, and I didn’t cut off all of the foliage and flowers, so they were able to regenerate.
I absolutely have found that landrace genetics, especially equatorials, can be perennial and have a much higher success rate in revegging than modern day varieties.
I have included a seedling of Malawi Gold to show size differences:)
I made the original cross in 2020, taking the arid Kunduz and crossing it with the humidity loving Jalalabad, both 12 ish weekers indoors.
The progeny came out smelling purple, spicy and metallic, with powerful and but relaxing highs quite similar to grand daddy purple, yet with quite the stronger effect.
I spent 2 years hunting f1s until I found a true breeding purple male and female that displayed mold resistance. This is important for my coastal environment, as I live in the redwoods in Humboldt county, just 5 miles or so from the ocean.
This year the f3s are going to be fun to work through, seeing as how many plants in the f2s displayed dominant purple genetics.
Cambodia came from source in 2013. Panama from Ace seeds.
The original Cambodian mom was a 25+ weeker indoors, wild vining type phenotype.
Outdoors I harvested her in February.
I found a similar terpene profile in the Panama Standard line from Ace, selected a nice male, and kept selecting the most Cambodian like progeny to use in the back cross.
It took me over 4 years to make this, as Mama Cambodia flowered for over 6 months each time!
HiTech does great outside on the coast in Humboldt, and has electric, uppity and psychedelic effects. She is truly special.
The plants from Ghazni can compete smell wise with any of the modern day candy cultivars easily, and the frost is getting up there too!
I had three plants, all of them very candy forward, with a thick acrid, chemical gas at the backend. My favorite pheno smelled exactly like blue baby bottle pops b
Effects are deeply stony, starting with a massive energy rush right behind the eyes that quickly melts the entire body and lasts for hours. It is functional during the day and helps one to sleep at night.
Definitely a great hash plant, but I wouldn’t call it kush.
The kushiest of all the pure Afghanis I have tried so far. Moon Grown Preservations
Hey everyone!
First post on here, long time (10+ years) breeder and preserver of landrace varieties, breeding for mold resistance and medicinal effects on the Humboldt coastline for my seedbank.
This last year we were blessed with a very mild winter, and 7 of my HiTech (Cambodia x Panama BX3) and 1 of my Marine layer (Hanoi, Vietnam x Guadalajara, mexico) are regenerating!
So exciting, I’ve definitely noticed that the equatorials have better luck with this than hash plants do, for example.
Has anyone else successfully done this? And if so, how many generations did you get it to regenerate?
Pictured above is the new growth from the most vigorous HiTech
