Original Central Asia Ruderalis

Description

**Original Central Asia Ruderalis** is a foundational, autoflowering landrace strain originating from the harsh climates of Central Asia, including regions of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia. It is one of the three primary cannabis subspecies (*Cannabis ruderalis*) and is genetically distinct for its **autoflowering trait**, which is triggered by plant maturity rather than light cycles. This makes it incredibly resilient and fast-growing, capable of completing its life cycle in as little as 10-12 weeks from seed. Botanically, it is characterized by its **short, stocky stature** (rarely exceeding 60cm), sparse branching, and small, airy buds with a high leaf-to-calyx ratio. The cannabinoid profile is notably **high in CBD and low in THC**, making its effects subtle, functional, and non-intoxicating. The experience is primarily a mild, clear-headed focus and physical lightness, without the pronounced psychoactivity of modern hybrids. Its primary historical and modern value lies in its **genetics**. Breeders have extensively used Ruderalis to introduce the autoflowering trait into popular *sativa* and *indica* varieties, creating the entire category of 'autoflower' seeds that revolutionized outdoor and stealth cultivation. It is a living piece of cannabis evolution, adapted for survival with minimal human intervention.
