Xinjiang Chinese Landrace from an autonomous territory in northwest China.
Regular Autoflower Seeds obtained through trade in 2017.
Our regular seeds allow you to participate in the ongoing evolution of cannab.
This is a very special, extremely unique variety that is not commonly found and I have never seen them anywhere other than our preservation and reproduction of them.
- Flowering Time: Certain percentage of the phenos have finsihed Fast, Less that 45 Days from Seed, while others finish normally in 60-70 days.
Can be planted consecutively throught the year.
- Grow Type: Outdoor & Greenhouse
Flavors & Aromas: Cedar, Incense and Bubblegum
Landrace cannabis strains from the Xinjiang region of China, like many landrace varieties, have evolved unique characteristics due to the specific environmental conditions of their native habitat. Below are the features that are particularly notable of the Xinjiang landrace cannabis:
Adaptation to High Altitudes and Harsh Climates: Xinjiang is known for its diverse terrain, including high-altitude regions and deserts. Cannabis grown here has adapted to extreme temperature variations, possibly leading to robust plants that are hardy and resilient.
Indica Dominance: Given the harsh climate, these plants might lean more towards Indica characteristics, which often include a more bush-like structure, broader leaves, and a shorter flowering time. Indicas typically thrive in environments where they need to complete their life cycle quickly due to climatic challenges.
Unique Terpene Profiles: The terroir of Xinjiang, influenced by its soil, climate, and altitude, produces distinctive and uncommon terpene profiles. Terpenes are aromatic compounds that contribute to the flavor and aroma of cannabis. Strains might exhibit unique scents and flavors not commonly found in more widely recognized cannabis regions.
High CBD/CBG Content: Landrace strains from such regions have evolved to produce higher CBD & CBG content as a survival mechanism or due to historical uses in traditional Chinese medicine where CBD's therapeutic properties were more valued.
Cultural Significance: Cannabis in Xinjiang, like in many parts of Central Asia, might have cultural or ritualistic significance. This means certain strains were preserved not just for utility but for traditional or religious practices, potentially influencing their genetic makeup.
Resilience to Pests and Diseases: Natural selection have favored plants with inherent resistance to local pests and diseases, leading to strains that are particularly resilient without the need for modern pesticides or treatments.
Light Sensitivity: Given the latitude and the specific light cycle changes in Xinjiang, these plants might have unique responses to light, possibly requiring specific conditions for flower which might differ from more equatorial strains.
Genetic Purity: Due to isolation and traditional cultivation practices, these landraces have maintained a high degree of genetic purity and diversity not crossbred like many commercial strains, offering a selection of cannabis that's closer to its wild ancestors.
It's worth mentioning that specific details on current strains or cultivation might be limited due to legal and accessibility issues in researching cannabis. But we are doing our part and invite you to provide your photos, observations and feedback. We are intrested in providing more detailed information, focuing on our 2025 ethnobotanical projects continueing the preservation and study of Chinese landrace cannabis varieties. The characteristics discussed above are expectations based on our Oklahoma 2022 Chinese reproduction Project as well as feedback from dozens of growers ranging in climates and growing mediums.
