Garhwali

A very nice wild ("jungli") variety from the high mountains around the Ganges Valley in the Indian Himalaya, selected with the help of respected Shiv-Shakti sadhus (wandering ascetics) in this sacred pilgrimage region.

This particular jungli line grows around Aayana Devi mountain, a peak sacred to a compassionate white-coloured form of the Mother Goddess.

• The Real Seed Company: Collectors of Landraces

The Real Seed Company is all about landraces. Not modern mixes or hybrids, but the kind of cannabis that comes straight from the regions where it has been growing for centuries. They are basically a group of collectors who travel around looking for seeds in their pure form, the way nature left them.

Quick Facts

Location: Seeds collected worldwide

Focus: Pure, unhybridised landrace cannabis

Types Available: Regular seeds, untreated

Well Known For: Collections from Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Morocco, Nepal, Turkey, Lebanon, and Africa

Works Well For: Growers and collectors who want authentic, traditional lines

The seeds they find are not changed or altered. Many are unusual, some are rare, and they are often the kind that collectors and old-school growers look for. Places like Afghanistan, Nepal, Morocco, or the mountains of India still have plants with long histories, and that is where these genetics come from.

What makes The Real Seed Company stand out is that they keep their catalogue open. Anyone can access these old varieties, which is a big deal since most seed banks do not share this kind of material so freely. If you want cannabis that is as close as possible to the source, this is where you might look.
