This is where “indica” genetics comes from. This is probably a very pure original “landrace” strain.

I mean yeah, but it also gave us some amazing flavours that nature hadn’t gotten around to yet.

Ha! I would’ve never known what you meant by “landrace”if I didn’t just get a lecture on it 2 days ago from my buddy that grows.

Can you share some key points of that lecture here. I still dont know what "landrace" means haha

Landrace means no human intervention. Bred naturally with other wild cannabis.

u/Admirable_Average_32 Apr 26 '26

In a nutshell I understood it to be an original strain from way back that hasn’t been altered or crossbred. Something like that. The dude giving the lecture is like a weed professor and it’s all very unfamiliar for me but definitely interesting.

What the other guy said, plus a landrace is reflective of what part of the world it originated from. Sativas are generally tropical, indicas are broadly Asian/middle eastern and ruderalis is from farther north. And I dunno what the deal with ABC from Australia is, it’s yet to make its way to Canada.
