What smell are you getting Thaibliss from your Ciskei?
The particular individual pictured is very lemony with menthol / licorice in the background. It is one of the most lemony plants I ever grew. Others were more menthol / licorice / spice.
what do you African experts think of seedsmans african buzz seedline?,,ive been considering running it,,i just dont fancy ending up with a load of weed that reminds me of powerplant and aniseed
Hi Siever,
I would guess about 9 weeks. It is hard to pinpoint the start, since it looked like it was gathering up for a while. It may be that I was really hoping it was starting, before it really did.
I'm thinking it is about as mold resistant as it comes. We had a horrible fall. Got about 9 inches of rain since I started cutting my earlier varieties. It is still hanging in there. I'll probably cut the rest by the end of this week. If it got one more day of sunshine, it would be a miracle.

How'd everything else fare Thai ?
Hi GS,
Almost 10 inches of rain in October so far, and there is heavy rain right now. Let's just say that this year is an opportunity to reinforce the mold resistant genetics. This is a unique experience for me. I took cuttings of every plant I grew outside. I have killed about 1/4 of the cuttings for being too mold prone. It narrows up what I'm willing to breed. Mold resistance is super valuable in this area, and this is looking like a record year for rain/mold in October.
I'm amazed that some genetics keep ripening despite the cold and rain. Ciskei is one of them, along with some of the Bangi Haze (Congo) individuals.

hey thai... mold is the reason we stopped outdoors... all our plants grew like..well weeds..
... until the mid of sept.. then with the days getting shorter, being surrounded on '3' sides by water, the humidity creaping up, every day we would cut out a small chuck of bud...until there was more/less nothing left... it really sucked... interesting tho ,the one plant that didn't mold was rez's sour diesel.. it had the fattest buds, but never any mold... muther nature is strange...Hey Thai,
I just wanna say much respect for pushing the envelope of the possible in your area. . .
I have been seeing your seasons year after year, and I now see that you could have chosen exclusively early strains just to harvest, but you seem to be looking at the long game and are creating new and interesting pairings.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your work with us here and all the best towards another good season !

I will be adding to this thread in the near future.
A couple localities I will be running:
Swaziland
Lesotho
Malawi
Pondoland
Transkei
Kwazulu
Congo
As well as some hybrids from certain areas with definitive import strain influence.
Most are pure sativa's with varying terpine profiles and coloration, varying THC contents and maturing times too. Really love this thread #Sub'd

Thanks for the love brother much appreciated
I have got some Mozambique landrace in my collection too, but it is not labelled specifically so I am saving those bags to do pheno hunts and select plants based on traits and not genetics as I cannot guarantee which bag is the Mozambique stock. Those genetics are a close mix of Malawi and Swaziland genetics which I can always recreate myself.
(...) the Mozambique stock. Those genetics are a close mix of Malawi and Swaziland genetics which I can always recreate myself.
Imho Mozambique line is also a special heirloom to preserve "pure" at first! I agree with you about the Malawi and Swazi relationship but historically i think that Moz could be the oldest parent according to the Austronesian roots theory from Madagascar vibes. In fact i think that South Asians genetics came like that in South Africa a long long time ago before the Arab, Bantu, Zulu or white men modern trade roads.
The last human traces from this period now finds Ouest in Namibia, i mean the Khoi San bushmen people who were the old great kings of all South Africa before the modern era.

My Zamaldelica is coming along at 41 days 11/13 today but these pics are from last week 35ish.....12 inch pot and its pretty tiny would have preferred to have gone from clone and had a better veg light on this and my haze.
This thing is probably not going to yield an oz....
