This will be a home for all things related to the cultivation of cannabis. The preferred focus here will be organic and sustainable growing methods, but any cannabis growers or growers-to-be are welcome!
The moderator and community creator here is in a legal cannabis state. It is therefore assumed that everyone sharing photos and info about their grows is also doing so legally. If you're not, then keep that to yourself. Any mention of actively conducting a cannabis grow illegally will be removed. This is to protect our instance admin, and will be a zero-tolerance policy.
Happy growing!

The Himalayas are indeed the highest mountains in the world.
A person I worked with years ago visited Bhutan, and showed us photos of weed growing everywhere, it's literally a weed. They must have started smoking it at some point because a quick look says they illegalised it as a drug in 1999. They generally use it to feed pigs.
You have, quite hilariously, misinterpreted legalization of cannabis with legalization of television on that wiki article
Now we know why the Gurus sit on top of those mountains.
Sea of green, so beautiful <3
Could it be a variety of hemp?
How sure are you that it’s wild?
Either hemp or the middest mids you ever smoked
How do you figure the middest mids part? Due to their size?
Also if there's mixed gender they will pollinate and not produce as much quality buds.
If I were to guess, probably because they'd be left to their own devices rather than carefully managed for higher THC content and flavour profile.
Could be good ol' fashioned landrace Hindu Kush, though (which would still be mids, but I'd smoke it) - why do you think that's what the strain's called?
Edit: The Hindu Kush is not part of the Himalayas. This comment will remain as is, as a reminder to read stuff carefully.
I love pointing this out to folks who think produce is 100% natural and that GMOs are the devil. Like bruh do you think strawberries evolved to be giant sweet and awesome tasting on their own?
Wild strawberries are tiny and sour because it doesn’t make any sense for a wild plant to put so much energy into growing ginormous berries.
Just cuz we don’t know what genes were selected for by breeding the plants with giant fruit together to make plants any less modified by us. They would never survive without us, we’ve modified them too much.
That said, the shit where they’re inserting whole sequences of dna from other plants and animals is a bit sketchy.
I mean, it's not like people are just tossing in sequences of DNA willy nilly and selling it at Walmart, tho. I see nothing inherently wrong with crispr GMO crops, so long as we know how the transplanted DNA affects the plant in detail.
Hindu Kush
That's a different mountain range entirely.
I read that Wikipedia article 100% incorrectly, missed the 'west of the' before Himalayas. Legitimately, thanks!
Excellent bug repellent
Without obvious scale, it reminds me of sweet woodruff
You get a natural high just by looking at the picture.
