Heirloom

Heirloom: This category is for cannabis landraces that have undergone generations of selection in the West, often known as ‘heirlooms’. Typically, this individual plant selection results in higher THC levels than would be normal for true traditional domesticates (i.e., real landraces), particularly hash landraces from the Hindu Kush, which are maintained by less intensive methods of selection and cultivation. For example, a cannabis heirloom such as ‘Deep Chunk’, which was inbred by Tom Hill for four decades, has markedly lower CBD and much higher THC than the actual hashish landraces cultivated by cannabis farmers in Afghanistan.

For very potent landraces (i.e., not heirlooms) look at traditional sinsemilla domesticates from tropical regions such as Southeast Asia, Tropical India, and Tropical Africa.

To the best of our knowledge, none of the heirloom cultivars offered here have been outcrossed.
