Plants suited for desert environment

Check out Indian Landrace Exchange or the real seed company for landrace cultivars that have been bred for generations in the deserts of Afghanistan or India. :victory_hand:

Been looking into them myself lately as a novelty but they seem really interesting to grow

Also thinking that plastic or terracotta pots might help them from drying out too quickly in the desert conditions compared to regular fabric pots.

Thanks! I haven’t tried Indian land race exchange. But I’ve done several grows with seeds from the Real Seed Company.

Still have some of their seeds - Afghan, Bokeo #2 (Thai) and Nanda Devi.

I’m germinating their Afghan, and have seedlings of the Bokeo. Not sure about the Nanda Devi. Going to try some of everything and hope something works.

Smoking the Bokeo is like a step back in time to when different kinds of weed had different kinds of highs. Hybridizing has turned a lot of pot shop weed the same.

Of course, the Bokeo buds are not rock hard, and they don’t have 9000% THC, but the high is very unique, not the same as everything else.

Btw, I seeded a batch of Bokeo and have hundreds of them.

OK, that’s a good thought that I haven’t considered. Maybe fabric pots aren’t the way to go out here. Humidity is typically 25%. Thanks.

I’m looking at the highland laos from the real seed co. Glad to hear you’ve had good results with them! Have they been only indoor?

How would you describe the high from the Bokeo? I’m definitely looking for that step back in time like you described, something truly unique and flavorful with a good high.

Hey brother I was going to say I would cover the black bags with anything white, even a old white shirt, when plants are so big you will be watering every day or two days so I wouldn’t worry too much about it drying too fast. But color of bag is important as to root temperature for sure. @LeeVanCleef Hope you are having a great start to your weekend :grinning_face:
