Man that's a nice collection there. I do think your right about them growing these strains for decades and taking the seeds from there most favorite plants.

Where is the best place to get these?

that was the problem being able to get these in the states he only gave them to a handful of US seedbanks, he did have a couple overseas sellers but i didn't want to do the whole get an get a money order send it internationally and wait 2-3 months for it to clear customs and get delivered but i should have got as many as i could.

oregoneliteseeds.com has a couple left
neptuneseedbank.com has one variety
maybe try shooting him a DM its @afghan_selection on insta

They went extremely fast when they were available. that's why i only got three strains from the initial drop. i was dying to get the hindu kush pack but it was the most popular of course. the pictures he showed looked very similar to deep chuck we all have seen so people went nuts
The only way i was able to get the full second drop was i saw a seller mentioned on his instagram i Dm'd him and he said it was about a month away from being released to their customers but said if i got the full drop it would be 500 instead of 600 so i jumped at it but i had to wait till the general public release happened and they shipped my order

It would be nice to get them in the USA, I've gotten spoiled by domestic banks, but I see Attitude has these in stock. Thanks for reminding me about this company, I've been concerned about Afghan landrace seed stock post Taliban, I'm def going to get a pack to try.

London seed centre also has them in stock if attitude is out. His stealth is excellent and has never failed to get through.
I can’t remember but I think there was another us bank that stocked him, I’ll check and get back.

I was looking at the Baharak months ago but found some postings about bad germination rates on some Afghan selections.
Then i found the Baharak stock with another supplier who gave a fuller description.
The other guys say there is mothball phenos but Afghan selection made it sounds all spicy nice.
Id love to hear some positives about them

i was thinking that they may have to be cold treated because of climate they come from and most farmers letting their fields die on the vine before harvest

I was always interested to see how many people would pick up this guys gear.
i have had collection sitting for a while now going to get some projects going with them, seed increases, F1, and F2's preservation etc
I will have to dig on my hard drive and find all the detailed information he put out about the cultivars early on and then it disappeared . It was fairly detailed with LAT and Longitude of the collection site, smells, morphology. ill post it when i find it

Also from my understanding these would not be considered wild or feral genetics. Most of the collections were received from local farmers that grew that variety for decades. They were collected in huge fields but only certain cultivars were selected to represent the variety. So don't know really but i would assume that the seeds were collected from the best of every harvest of they were selected and backcrossed or inbred to lock in traits.
most of these strains are exclusively used for hash production. They don't smoke the raw flower.
From his descriptions these strains have exotic terps melons, chocolates, spices, herbs and incense. Plus they have all the colors in senescence reds, blues, silvers, black, purples, oranges, pinks.
The only thing that ive learned about populations like this that are grown outdoors from heirloom stock, The have a tendency to have herm issues because of the plants hardcoded will to survive by any means necessary. so it will take a couple generations to breed that out
i know i'll put pictures up when i start to run through mine and interested to see what other get out of them.

and the seeds you get in these packs have to be the biggest seeds i've ever seen they are monsters

Wow! I envy your collection so much! I would love to be able to grow these outdoors....or indoors for that matter! I had some wonderful Afghan back in the late 70's that actually made me feel like I was on shrooms!

I've found any landrace seeds brought direct from the motherland can have sub-par germ rates. There are probably a lot of reasons for this, such as the conditions they are kept in post harvest and prior to export, as well as seed age. At best we are getting last years harvest, at worst...who knows?

Agreed, I was lucky enough to get 2 to germ out of 10 seeds. Took like 3 days for tails to pop on the ones that made it, the rest never really took off. Hoping for a male and female out of these two but it is what it is, price you pay for running old world genetics.

I ended up receiving my Afghan Selection Sholgar seeds from Attitude about 10 days after ordering, pretty fast for the current state of USPS. These are on my short list of plants to grow out this year, but my short list is still pretty long....
