Ethiopian strains are usually farmed in the lowlands of Awassa and Arba Minch and brought to Addis in the Centre. Otherwise taken to Kenya and to South or out in HAsh form into Sudan where there is a huge market.
Growing Ethiopian for the 7 years I was living there in Addis Abeba and working with old RasTafari settlers who brought seeds with them and started the growing and even exporting of Ethiopian grown herbs from 1972 onwards. The diversity of strain is so mixed up now but the mother landrace sativa is always dominant and may overcome much breeding and efforts to stabilize her will see future seeds revert to former parental traints of the landrace usually over a five year period of farming them. It is a great strong plant and grows anywhere and in any sort of soil conditions , I have been growing both indoors in soil and coco with success outside of Ethiopia for several runs now and still find her an amazing lady to work with , Most Royal.
She uplifts you and holds you in her graceful ways and when she grows well all eyes are on her!!! Not a massive long wait either around 10 to 16 weeks will see the plants fulfill nicely. And a good 4 to 8 week cure afterwards to balance her terpene profile out and that is going to be some connoisseur grade herbs. No mad raciness like some Thai's and African herbs are known for. Mellow and steady vibes resonate out of her and she is very workable on as well as using her allows the user full mobility and functionality. A very social and all round pleasing herb that will surprise many with her great flavors, smells and effects as well as her appearance both in growing and in dried bud form. I have some red stems on a few areas of the current grow. All depends on the way the seed is meant to be. Igzahbier Ymasgan as they say in Amharic. (Thanks be to God. )
