Japanese culture exhibits a long history of cannabis use, dating back 10,000 years with scientific evidence of its cultivation for over 2,000 years, especially prevalent in Hokkaido where it grows wild. The strain from Hokkaido presents strong, corpulent characteristics typical of indica varieties, with adaptations for semi-autoflowering, maturing rapidly within 6-8 weeks.
Despite Japan's history with cannabis, primarily for textile use, there's no strong evidence of its psychoactive use. Post-WWII regulations were the first to control THC content, hinting that traditional strains weren’t bred for their psychoactive properties.
Recent studies have identified three phenotypes within this Hokkaido strain, varying in CBD, THC, and CBG content, suggesting the possibility of breeding lines for different purposes: psychoactive, high-CBD hemp, and low-cannabinoid-content hemp. Genetic analysis reveals a uniform, stable genotype distinct from European or Russian hemp, suggesting origins closer to Chinese or Korean varieties.
This strain represents a valuable landrace for developing new hemp strains suited to medium latitudes, with the Hokkaido Industrial Hemp Association collaborating with the French government to introduce new low-THC European hemp varieties to the area, potentially replacing traditional strains.

- Genetics: Second generation pure hemp landrace from Hokkaido, Japan.
- Structure: Strong and corpulent bearing of indica appearance, vigorous growth, with thick stalks, medium-long internodal distance, strong branches and large, wide and dark leaves.
- Bouquet: Rough and wild aromas reminiscent of geranium and wild mountain spices. Unrefined and without evidence of terpene relevance on most plants, producing only alpha pinene among the different and most common main terpenes, although best plants from group A produce much stronger and appealing terpenes.
- High: Very low psychoactivity, although not completely negligible, producing slight relaxation and hilarity.
- Terpene profile: Only small amounts of alpha pinene, without relevant presence of other monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, although Seedsofkismet best plant (1A) had seemingly double or more terpenes.
- Growing Tips: It can be easily grown indoors. Outdoors it can be grown up to latitude 50º, both in hot climates and in climates where the flowering takes place with rain and low temperatures. The breeder recommends moderate levels of nutrients for the whole cycle. Allow plants to reflower if searching for higher cannabinoid count. Most plants seedsofkismet grew were harvested in week 10-11 of flower.
