Ciskei

[shokdee]

Nice grow, would like to try this myself one day! I hope to visit the Ciskei area of South Africa, later this year to get a feel for the environment. As Tropical seeds make clear, this area is a rich mix of genetics.

We would like to be honest so we cant say 100% sure (althought we´ve investigated and searched all the info avaible) this plant is a sativa landrace or it could have any other influence in it because these regions have been European colonies till entered the XX century. Nevertheless some traits and its stimulating effect make us think its still a pure sativa one!

ciskei and ciskei x durban are some of the best sativa i have tried!

I have been planning a Swazi x Ciskei cross too, which Swazi did they use?

 

[Cannabisso]

Where I am from the Bushmans (original strain's name) is still a very popular outdoor strain and most clone shops offer it as a cut. I have grown both cut and seeds indoors, it is not the biggest yielder but a fast strain and the smoke is smooth with a nice uplifting high that still lets you function. Actually one of my personal favourites, but too weak for people who expect a knockout stone. The cut I grew recently was ready for harvest in 7 weeks, buds were rather dense and had a good bag appeal.

On a UK forum there are reports about it.

Here is a picture of a local Bushmans cut 5 weeks into flowering for you guys. Smelling delicious and quite a bit of resin even on the fan leaves too.

Don't know if it is a selection of the original Herbaria stock or the later remake by Nectar seeds. Who cares, to me it just matters that this one is a great plant
