Manufacturer: The Real Seed Company
Lebanon has a long tradition of producing fantastic hashish - characteristic aromas are cedar and pine, with a sweet edge, and heavy aromas of fruit. Lebanese plants are early-maturing, and are known to make excellent hybrids. Some cultivars, such as the RSC Lebanese, can have red colouration in later stages of flowering. Various phenotypes can be found: usually plants are columnar, but sometimes can be round and bushy e.g. 90cm tall by 90cm wide. This is the fastest maturing strain in The Real Seed Company's catalogue.
The Real Seed Company is all about landraces. Not modern mixes or hybrids, but the kind of cannabis that comes straight from the regions where it has been growing for centuries. They are basically a group of collectors who travel around looking for seeds in their pure form, the way nature left them.
Quick Facts Location: Seeds collected worldwide Focus: Pure, unhybridised landrace cannabis Types Available: Regular seeds, untreated Well Known For: Collections from Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Morocco, Nepal, Turkey, Lebanon, and Africa Works Well For: Growers and collectors who want authentic, traditional lines
The seeds they find are not changed or altered. Many are unusual, some are rare, and they are often the kind that collectors and old-school growers look for. Places like Afghanistan, Nepal, Morocco, or the mountains of India still have plants with long histories, and that is where these genetics come from.
What makes The Real Seed Company stand out is that they keep their catalogue open. Anyone can access these old varieties, which is a big deal since most seed banks do not share this kind of material so freely. If you want cannabis that is as close as possible to the source, this is where you might look.
