// Definition
The practice of maintaining living libraries of traditional cannabis varieties from their regions of origin including Malawi, India, Thailand, South America, Honduras, and Papua New Guinea. These long-flowering narrow-leaf drug varieties (10-24 weeks) represent a vast gene pool being lost as commercial production focuses on fast-finishing, high-THC modern hybrids.
// From the Episode
Dom at Inexo maintains varieties including a Papua New Guinea seed batch from 1979 that took 14 days to germinate and 18 weeks to flower. His Honduras landrace yielded 3kg branches. Ryan Lee donated original Haze seeds from David Watson's Hortapharm collection. Every seed in the haze population produced a different phenotype demonstrating enormous genetic diversity.
