African Strains

[acespicoli]

appreciate the fine critique @Thcvhunter well stated im on the same page
I remember a old strain from way back may have peen purple or black maybe congo or durban but it was trippy and a real slow oncoming effect
almost like a creeper but not a tired buzz it was strong and up high just kept coming in waves building higher and higher
when you somked alot it would have you thinking you may have over done it in 15-30 minutes later lol

kinda what I hope to find and it had a dark color that may have been from the cure like the malawi cobs

Highest spots often rhyme with the best quality... ^^
(Highland Ethiopia, Malawi, Lesotho, Eswatini (Swazi), East Congo, Angola, Tanzania, Madagascar...)

Hey fellow sativa lovers,
Here's a cross of a Mozambique heirloom with a Chem Brulee bred by Covert Genetics and Heart and Soil Seeds. It's a hybrid but it's structure and time to harvest is leaning hard to the sativa side, so I thought I'd post here. It's winter down here, so that's made the plant deep purple, not sure it would have done the same in warmer weather. I'm not thrilled about the open structure but if the high is on spot, I'll stop complaining. Smells of grape, onion, and Guiness. Packed on the crystals. Went about 90 days. In peat with amendments and some KNF. Not much direct sunlight, maybe 3-4 hours, which might have contributed to the leafiness of it all as well. Looking forward to making a test hash run.
peace

Swazi X Red Congolese (Refeerman) babies on the right compared to Burmese (Coastal Seeds) on the left. Can already see the NLD vs WLD difference. Red Congolese is only 50% Congolese, so the cross is only 75% African. In all it's 87.5% sativa. Had a good germination rate on the African cross (5 out of 6), which was surprising considering the seeds are over 11 years old and the mini fridge they were stored in's thermostat stopped working while I was away for several weeks.

Growing some Hartigear Malawi Gold and after using the pollen from the male I smoked the top. Great high euphoric and kind of electric and trippy, no crash or dirty feeling. Hope the females are even better. The plants are not that tall and the leaves not real narrow. Not sure if the genetics are real or Skunk or what, but the high is really good. No pics use your imagination.

Found a couple of unopened Afropips packs from the stash. Wonder if these are still good, they are at least 16 years old. Stored cool, dry and dark..

History map of the arrival of Cannabis in Africa

At least for North Africa, the dates are incorrect because they are late. The proof is that in my country the tradition of cultivating plants to produce hashish (ingested or smoked in pipes) came from North Africa (if the ingestion of flowers existed before) and by the year 900 AD it is already historically reported/documented...

In North Africa, writers began describing psychoactive uses in the twelfth century CE (Lozano Cámara, 1996). North African knowledge of psychoactive uses traces to the Levant, where edible cannabis drugs were consumed by 1000 BCE (Russo, 2007). Historical cannabis cultures in Egypt and along the Red Sea remained similar to those of the Levant; cultures were more distinctive in the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia). Across North Africa, people consumed inflorescences and hashish (cannabis resin) in both smokable and edible forms. Hashish was historically an import, chiefly from Lebanon, Turkey, and Greece; the earliest regional evidence of hashish production is from 1921, in eastern Algeria (Livet, 1921). Into the 1970s, North African farmers mostly produced herbal material from local cultivars. People mostly planted small plots but sometimes fields of cannabis, notably in northern Morocco where local demand sustained large-scale production in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

In the times of the Umayyad Caliphate of Cordoba (around 900 AD) there are already written references to hashish consumption and Spanish museums have a large collection of hash pipes from the Hispanic Caliphate period.
You can see the texts and photos in the thread about the Vikings and cannabis, where the only doubt that is debated is whether these Hispanic pipes were also used to smoke marijuana, as historians and archaeologists specialised in Muslim Hispania claim lately.
The Museum of the Alhambra Palace in Granada exhibits an exclusive collection of pipes from the Hispano-Muslim period (Caliphate, Taifal and Sultanate of Granada) that I invite you all to visit...

Wonder if these are still good, they are at least 16 years old.

Only 1 way to find out. Older seeds have been germinated.
