Wow sondeos, that Nigerian looks amazing, especially for 32 days flower. I have two West Africans flowering myself, I expect they are from Ghana or Gambia, or could be from Nigeria as those places all grow lots of weed that is smuggled to the UK, I know the crime gangs from Benin and Nigeria import a lot of drugs into EU. Mine is only just getting flowering after 32 days though, sadly. They are very nute sensitive and I burnt them a little so am just feeding them with molasses, seaweed, humic acid and 2-1-4 organic feed. I'll start giving them a little Plagron Alga Bloom soon, but i think these plants won't take much feeding without bunring, they burnt at ec 1.5 so I cut back to 1.2 and have slowly built up to 1.4 again.
Here is a couple of pics of her a few days ago:
I have 4 Durban Poisons too, old seeds from some great import a few years ago. I had 8 seeds, 5 germed, 1 was a runt, one is an early female, one is a male that has just shown sex and the last two haven't shown sex yet. They all look very very similar, I'm hoping the early female is a keeper as she is flowering earlier than I expected, they aren't very stretchy and have a good structure with plenty of branching. I've been heavily bending and tying them down expecting a big stretch and they have remained easily controllable.
This is the early Durban:
I also have 3 Ethiopian Highlands but they are growing really really slowly.
indifferent Hello, I am glad to know that someone is cultivating genetically similar. your plants are quite beautiful. Regarding the value of Eq water, I cultivate the ground "BIONOVA" to which I add mycorrhizae, irrigation with reverse osmosis water that comes out to a value of 0.05 and the climb up to 0.40 ec based on calcium and magnesium, and after reading and advice from friends in the forum decided not to spend 0.60 cr all risks to that Eq. now I see that I was a bit short but I think that would have put up 0.90. the last two irrigations have been at 1.20. From Eq. of 0.40 to get on base liquid manure once again with seaweed fertilizer, as I say I think 0.60 is a bit vajo. analyzing the water draining the pots you see that the earth has nothing because the value of Eq is the same as the irrigation water, I hope my information has been positive. a greeting.
Pd. these genetic fine to talk about. remain in touch.
sondeos, where is you nigerian from. i know titoon got his in nigeria. whered'you get yours?
hello, the seeds I buy are a small afropics tracking them in this link is in Spanish but you do not understand can see photos of their evolution. greetings friend.

I thought it was probably the Afropips one too as it has that chunky look. I really want to get a pack of those but never have the spare cash! We used to get a fair bit of Nigerian weed in the Uk and it was good stuff.
Good to see other people growing sativas indoors sondeos, we shall have to share experiences.
I am growing mine in coco and have discovered they hate feeding with chemical nutes and I burnt them a little, so I flushed them and they have recovered, I am now feeding them just molasses, seaweed, humic acid and a little 2-1-4 organic feed and they are doing okay. The Durbans are lime green but I think this is natural and not a deficiency.
i think it would probably have been more sensible to grow these African sats in a good soil and not fertilise them much at all, just let them take what they need from the soil, but I suck at soil growing so I'm trying to develop a coco method for them, and so far the big thing I;ve found is don't feed em full strength nutes as they will fry!
Some pics of the Durban male, I took 6 cuttings off him. There is a female that is a bit earlier than this male and two that haven't shown sex yet.

hello man, how are you, do not advise you to cultivate these varieties in coconut, time to cut the plant goes aser almost the same, but in return you will enjoy the authentic taste, it is good advice, take Eq very low and fertilizer on algae and the like. durban that pretty. You know for whatever you need to ask you only have to send me a private. greetings
I think you are right, coco is not the best, but it's too late for this run. I have the West Africans saved as clones and will clone all the Durbans too so in future I can do them in soil. I am always happy to share cuts with fellow African lovers as well once rooted.

Wow, stunning plants. Are the small one and the tall one both Afropips Nigerian? The short one looks very productive and fast for a sativa, might have to get a pack of those!
My Africans are much slower flowering, this is 10 days on from the last pics and while they are doing fine and not suffered any more overfert, they are not flowering very fast at all, I expect these will be long, thin, slender buds.

sorry for the bad view point of the pic. it was jammed up in the room so not that much space that day hehehe
here is the chocolate, an african sativa of some sorts with a very questionable background
the leaves are HUGE ! you cant really tell in the pic but some fan leaves are bigger than dinner plates on a plant not even 1 meter high yet. i have sampled some of this stuff grown outdoor and it is very nice
buds grow very dense and solid for a sativa.
