Basic infos

ESP (aka Extra Sensory Perception) is an mostly indica from Indian Landrace Exchange and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors (Where the plants will need a flowering time of ±67 days) Indian Landrace Exchange's ESP is/was never available as feminized seeds.

Indian Landrace Exchange Description

ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) is a poly-hybrid landrace-inspired cultivar created by crossing a Double Dalai F3 male with a P1 female from the Maruf Kandahar TAP22 project (southern Afghanistan). This unique combination brings together Afghani desert genetics and exotic highland influences, resulting in a highly expressive plant with rare structure, aroma, and effects.

ESP consistently expresses two clearly differentiated F1 phenotypes, both sharing the same terpene character and psychoactive profile but diverging strongly in plant architecture.

Type 1 – Tall (F1)
A tall, robust, apically dominant plant with wider internodal spacing and solid, conical buds. Its structure resembles highland hash plant populations, featuring elongated stems and a classic Christmas-tree growth pattern, ideal for vertical stacking and tighter plant spacing.

Type 2 – Short (F1)
A short, squat Afghani-style plant with very tight internodes and a stubby, bushy structure. This phenotype closely mirrors traditional Kandahar desert landraces, favoring lateral branching rather than vertical stretch.

Despite their contrasting morphology, both phenotypes share the same aromatic evolution, flavor profile, and effects.

ESP plants begin flowering with subtle sweetness and muted sour incense notes, which gradually develop into sharp, rancid, and highly astringent aromas. As maturity approaches, the bouquet intensifies, revealing aggressive notes reminiscent of floor cleaners, solvent adhesives, fuel, and butyl mercaptan, finishing with rank, sulphuric, rotting funk—a defining trait inherited from the Maruf Kandahar lineage.

While the live plant aroma is raw and abrasive, the Double Dalai influence emerges strongly after drying and curing, delivering deep incense, hazy, and penetrating flavors when smoked, offering a striking contrast to the plant’s flowering-stage scent.

ESP delivers a slow-building, creeping high that differs radically from modern, fast-onset varieties. The effects rise gradually from the spine toward the head, eventually washing over the entire body.

The experience is deeply relaxing and dreamlike:

• The mind drifts into a psychedelic, introspective state
• The body remains fully relaxed, heavy, and insulated, with long-lasting tactile sensations and subtle vibrations

This unique combination offers a glimpse of classic Afghani couch-lock, fused with Double Dalai’s exotic, floating, and cerebral high. The effect profile is arguably ESP’s most outstanding trait, setting it apart from nearly any contemporary hybrid.

Terpene Profile | Not yet analyzed

ESP is especially well-suited for outdoor cultivation in hot and dry climates, reflecting its desert-adapted Afghan heritage and strong resistance to drought and heat. It also tolerates cold nights during flowering and large temperature fluctuations without issue.

The variety performs reliably indoors as well, responding best to moderate nutrient levels throughout the entire cycle, with slightly increased NPK during the first two-thirds of flowering.
