Land Race Strain info Request

[Oldbay]

Does anyone have a link or book recommendations about "land race" or indigenous cannabis strains that might include where they are found (like a map), and maybe even descriptions/pictures of the plant and buds, pro's and cons of the strains, and a smoke report. I don't ask for much :p

I find the topic very interesting.

Vibescollective.org is a forum I belong to dedicated to the research and preservation of landrace strains. Take a look around and join in if you like. Also feel free to PM me here or there to talk if you please.

:eek::eek::eek:

llama, you rock. For anyone else looking, not everything is filled out for each site. However, the pics are more that meets the eye, if you click on the little one, it launches an album viewer with a whole slew. Very cool and Thanks Llama. I wish I had something to add to the site. I did notice that a lot of the Mexican sativa's aren't listed which I am sure someone has some info on.

They also have a forum with lots of grow reports and pictures.

Looks like a brilliant site llamabox. I may have to join! :)

Robert Connell Clarke books are a great starting point, both Hashish and Marijuana Botany - An Advanced Study: The Propagation and Breeding of Distinctive Cannabis are essential IMHO. Heres a link to a couple of online chapters. http://www.mellowgold.com/grow/mjbotany-removed/

I imagine this is the section of most interest to you. Let us know how your search pans out. Good luck.
