African Strains

[Highlighter]

Alfred, African Seed Bank is no longer. You can still find a few things by them around, but they will be old stock. Seed Boutique has a couple of strains. Hope this helps...peace, HL

alfred, there's a site called mushroom galaxy or something,

http://212.204.218.231/pages/African Seeds.html

they still have the african seeds on it, but i don't know anything about the availability of the seeds or quality. maybe you contact them to ask about it...

Ok, this is how my Jock Horror responded to girdling & perforating. "All" the purple that was there, is almost gone and the buds are lighter colored. All the big fan leaves have yellower or died. There is litte amount of new resin on the bud´s. I missed her harvest window, so this was welcome





Here we see the treatment she received:


The "girdled part" starts from the mud which came this high while flushing..

Ok, here are the last pic´s of the girdled JH. I harvested her yesterday and took couple photos before that, this is how the JH did look just before the harvest:



I would love to hear more information of similar techniques.

I really do thing that we could see the benefits of girdling better if I have got the option to harvest the plant next week, so the girdling & perforating would have more time to effect... But, we gonna see it when my Neville´s Haze is harvested, because I am going to do the same trick to her. (maybe harder.)

Hi herbalistic... very very good jock horror.
As soon as posible i´ll have seeds of Black Maconde. I´ll try obtain seeds creating male flowers on a cut of female. I don´t use chemical products, if it´s good, i´ll send seeds. What think? could be viable?

peace.

"There was a big problem a while back with a crop of congo that came in that quite clearly was just a darker swazi.
Loads of it had also been stored wet so it seemed darker but was also molding.
Ppl bought it and smoked and still believed it was congo.

Some folks nowadays are too gullible"

 

[Herbalistic]

Olá!!!

Alfred: Why wont them seeds be viable? So you only have this Black Macombe in clone form?? It really would be nice to try that strain.

Raco: It´s a shame when people sell buds that been colored by MOLD and make the buyers believe it´s some dark congo because of the color!

herbalistic - most weed thats comercial block in the third world IS moulded, has fungus etc. it is usually them that give the compressed blocks the funny urine-like smell. its mainly due to bad drying and or wetting before pressing- (some places they even pee on the bales before they put it thru the press.)

yeah man some of the colombian i came past in costarica had ORANGE spots on it. thats for colourfull weed hehe.

well here are some pics

Great reports bone ty :wink:

"I forgot to add that swazi in my opinion has the strongest smell even when it comes to lighting it up.
Also for some reason,when I role the same size joint of say TK or Purple Power for example the amount of smoke is tiny compared to swazi.
You light up a swazi joint and it initally stinks.good stink but a stink nonetheless.
You blow out the smoke and lung fulls come out.
More smoke,more smell,more,more,more,more,must have more :wink: "

Where´s Derrayld btw?

 

[Highlighter]

Great reports, bone! All the better when I'm growing out some of these strains!
Raco, thx for having some Derrayld quotes to share! :wink:
Herbalistic, thx for taking the inititive on the girdling technique! Hope it results in a tastier end-product.
