To answer your question Rivs, it was awful erb right after it has dryed, cured it for 3 weeks and it did start produce very clear, little energitizing effect, but at the same time it relaxed me thoroughtly! However, I am not satisfied on the high at the moment, but dont do any final conclusions before 2-3 month cure!

Then I do a detailed smokereport and decide will I work/grow out those Swazi x Destroyer seeds I made.

Pure sativas often need curing process to release all the flavors & potency those complex therpenes & cannabinoids have to offer

Yield was very good on these considering they were grown under 250 hps, as we can see even they did have airy structure, they still didnt like too hot & humid and the buds started to dry out from inside! I use this biozone airpurifier/ionizior inside my growcab because of mites -> they hate it and stay away + it destroys all kind of molds & fungus, which was maybe the only reason why they didnt produce any mold on those dry spots

Have seen very variable reports of African seeds Swazi Rooibart line where has been big differences comparing outdoor & indoor grows considering potency wise... All the reports still praise the yield...

Im after a variety of quality smoke and even I have such an limited space I pop all multimonth/halfyear sativas to to explore special highs

This for you rainha G, mainly Sagedaze & Tri x NL X LK x PK drysift, but some Swazi in it also.. Keep your head up!!

I personally hate how stringy the varieties in south africa are you need so much power to get them to fill out and i've only been able to source up to 400 watt hps lights, but I will add this cross a SA plant with something more indica dominant and the yields shoot through the roof.

That Congo is going to be a beast rainha Ginga! Good work mate.

I can't wait to get my hands on some deep exotic african genetics. Will go hunting for some soon
But for now I carry on breeding with the usual like Swazi, Dp, Malawi etc. I did manage to collect 3 Rooibaard seeds from some decent Rooibaard the other day, not the killer stuff though unfortanetly. One day...
Mybe will be getting seeds from some great Transkei soon from a friend.

Swazi indoors:






Purple Aids father re-veged:


and his children (PA x DP), ready to be back crossed to him for the first time. Took some clones today:


DP test run,


The seeds are from this plant


And here's some pics from my now harvested fem DP x Skunk girls






Cheers all. :friends:

Greetings from South Africa
Here's a couple flicks for ya

Swazi Ruderalis Pheno 1




Swazi Ruderalis Pheno 2







Northern LightsXSwazi







Local strain called Golden Throne, i presume a swazi cross??




S.a.g.eXSwazi



White Wizzard


Strawberry Cough, got original seed from an unreliable source, seem to be a vicous sativa, probably from durban, as this is where the sources family grows...



Unity.

mildestoner those plants are lovely looking.That golden throne plant looks particularly interesting any idea of the genetics?Is it available in seed or clone only.good luck and stay safe

Not available anymore at all as far as I know, I believe it has never been commercially available, anyone can prove me wrong maybe??
I got the seed in some bud from my supplier at the time, a fat rasta lol, the bud was golden when i bought it with a strange earthy spicy taste, but when I grew it out the taste was decidedly different, I assume whatever it was crossed with to make the seeds was not as worthwhile, so chosse not to keep it in my garden....

Here's a couple pics from my garden

The genetics on the golden throne are, as far as I know, swaziXdurban local strain grown by my suppliers family, then grown by him indoors, where presumably it got crossed with something, then I bought some of it, got some seed and grew it out.

Here's a couple more golden throne pics

 

[stoned16]

awh man those plants are looking sweet,i spent some time in Plettenberg bay and loved it.What lights do you have and you growing in soil or hydro??any other strains indoors...and did you do the swazixruderalis cross yourself?? peace

 

[African herbman]

Great stuff guys, this thread is really taking off...
Nice work Mildestoner! Some really interesting genetics.

Got my shit together and picked up some Congo Black. Half bankie for R50...
Brought in from DRC. Pretty good quality for what it is. Good potency, better than Swazi of the same quality which is usualy called "A grade" Swazi and is quite potent. The CB is a bit of a creeper I noticed, starts of weak and leaves you a little un-imprressed but comes on strong after a few minutes. About 10 minutes later and your gone. Nice clear pure enegetic sativa high. Makes me very clumsy and stumble around. Great sweet sativa smell similar to Swaz but with nice spicy earthy tones and a distinct perfume like aroma like the Kenyan compressed stuff I got a while back but not as pungent. I was pleased to see a fair amount of seeds LOL. Got 22 good mature seeds.
Here's some shots/





The bag after a bit tokeage..

Hi African herbman....seeds are from Sensi Seeds. I'm growing it for third time this year ( I bought a pack with 16 seeds 3 years ago), and this year I found this sativa pheno that looks really great. It looks there was only one seed in a whole pack...and I'm glad I made some clones this year, so there are a few off them out.


Here are a couple pic of Sativa pheno DP... still has to go a few weeks, but the colas are already huge, but they will probably fill out even more till end









And a few pic of already harvested indica pheno DP









Ill start an outdoor thread soon...and if anyone is interested in the rest of my work this year Is more than welcome in. Ill put a link in my sig



See ya

[Propoline]

Stoned16, looks like you missed a link in my signature so here it is Party time . In spring they got some composted chicken manure, after that they were feeded only once or twice. They are finishing nice now.


MildeStoner thanks, yours look gorgeous too. You'll get yourself a bunch of tasty buds . Actually I'm not from Africa, I just added a few pic here cause DP has origins in Africa
