Manufacturer: The Real Seed Company
This famous North Indian charas sativa grows on the high sun-drenched ridges of Himachal Pradesh around the famed village of Malana (renowned for its hand-rubbed top quality charas). The Plants reach heights of over 3 metres and are very vigorous. The smell is reminiscent of overripe fruit and mango, and are sickly sweet like traditional Indian milk confectionary. This is the Champagne of the cannabis sativa market.
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.

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.
