Parvati

Parvati is a great strain from the famed Parvati Valley region of the Indian Himalaya. This Parvati strain is very happy outdoors in damp northern regions. Many growers say that it seems to really enjoy the rain and cold.

The leaves smells like a great range of hashy flavours with aromas like orange and chocolate. Also great for medicinal users - a real bomby sativa.

• 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.
