Nanda Devi / The Real Seed Company: reviews

Uniquely aromatic and have a lovely soaring high This is a new collection from Kumaon's greatest charas region around Nanda Devi: a line similar to, but even better than, the cultivar released as "Pahari Farmhouse". This Nanda Devi cultivar is from a unique valley high in the mountains and has an earlier finishing time and great mould and cold resistance. Above all these plants are uniquely aromatic and have a lovely soaring high. India's Kumaon Himalaya, formerly a part of the Kingdom of Nepal, is a mountain region which has a long tradition of producing potent charas. Good Kumaoni charas cultivars are vigorous, hardy plants, typically with a Christmas tree growth pattern. This Nanda Devi cultivar has long slender leaflets and a charming "sativa" appearance. Calyxes are very resinous, with a floral, tangy aroma and herbal, spicy scents. The best traditional charas twists from the Kumaon region have a very distinctive euphoric effect. This new Nanda Devi line has an uplifting and positive vibe that really stands out. "Sativa" lovers will really enjoy these plants.

Nanda Devi

Growing it

Normal

Resistance

This is a big plant that has been moved around a lot. Finishing up indoors. Would have done much better if it were possible to let it finish outdoor. Nanda Devi is a branchy, stretchy sativa that is difficult to contain. It's a big fast sativa for sure The dried buds smell like dried out orange. The buzz is only light and it gets you feeling lazy and not feeling like doing much. It may have a CBD benefit as well, sort of like a 50:50 concoction might. I actually love it as a shake weed. It is very entertaining to grow and strongly resist pests and other issues. pH and nutr tolerant, a very fun growing experience but only a mildly pleasant buzz. Not fancy top shelf dispensary grade but certainly was fun to grow. I have lots of these seeds and will very likely plant them again For breeders, it might be a good cross strain to consider for resistance and tolerance traits.

This was a breeding run. Lots of Nanda Devi seeds were produced. The crushed buds dried very fast because this is July and it is hot and dry here. The smoke was harsh from growing seeds and a fast dry. The buzz was mellow and medicine like. Probably THC converted to CBN. I like this weed. The smell is totally ORANGES. This is a small mid size sativa with u-shaped branches. It looks very ornamental. It stretches a lot through various stages of its growth. Especially at flower. The male antlers shoot way up over the canopy. Nanda Devi will grow into a tree if you grow it full season outdoor. For indoor growing it is a little like growing skunk. You will be doing a lot of LST and stem bending if you grow Nanda Devi in a tent. The plant dies not mind having it's stems bent and will cooperate with the space. The seeds take a long time to mature if you breed them. It's worth it because then you and friend's can grow Nanda Devi. Seems like a good CBD strain. The trichome production is thin, these are not sugary buds. The leaves also get you buzzed. It is resiny and you could try making finger hash or extracts. A fun Himalayan strain that is super nice as an outdoor plant and a small challenge as an indoor plant 7-9 star strain. Fun.

Plants were very stretchy and wanted to keep growing taller even while flowering. This strain is a F1 hybrid cross of the landrace Nanda Devi and Skunk 1. Not a lot of trichomes. Not very strong smell during flowering, which would be great if being stealth is needed. No carbon filter needed while growing this strain indoors. I harvested the rest of the plants today on 8-18-2017, which was day 1 of week 9 of flower. Could have went another 1 to 2 weeks but I encountered some bug issues, and the seeds in the buds were all ready and starting to fall out of the plants.
