I have obtained a few wild type seed from various locations.
Kumauni. A Himalayan domesticate considered a landrace from Uttarakhand in the Indian Himalayas.
Kaghan valley. A Himalayan wild type seed from Pakistan.
Kurgan. A trans Ural wild type from Kurgan Oblast Russia
Afghan, a random mix if seeds from, unsurprisingly, Afghanistan. These seeds were mixed together from several acquisitions by some fool not realising the need to keep the bags separate for identification purposes apparently.
They may be wild type but that is doubtful since seeds are larger than true wild type seeds.
Obviously all the acquisitions are regular seeds some from the more northern latitudes will apparently be day neutral (Autoflowering or semi Autoflowering) others will be photoperiod seeds or both. The seeds were obtained from the Real Seed Co. In order to maintain viability I keep them in the fridge. Germination of wild type seed is slow and irregular unlike modern cultivars and as yet I have not planted any.
When I do plant them it will have to be only one of these types at a time as I intend to allow them to develop regardless of gender in order to produce seed so I cant risk growing them with my other plants, pollen and bud plants are a bad mix. The seed from Kurgan oblast should grow in colder temperatures since the summer average in the warmest month is a mere 19 Degrees C or 66 Degrees F. and so will almost certainly display semi-Autoflowering characteristics. The temperatures in my grow tent is infinitely variable so I wont have any difficulty in reproducing optimal temperatures for these types of seed. Knowing their origin is vital for creating the necessary conditions for growth.
