must be cuz it's weak? And long flowerWhy would anyone take a wonderful african sativa and want to fuck it up by hybridizing?
I don't get it.

Hi Africaseeds,
To really unselect some aromas that you dislike for example it would be better to use its genetic as a male pole i think. Play the female selection for the terps declinaison i mean... If the cross is with indica in this way you can easier develop bigger stucture too but in the other hand the flo time should be longer.
I think that female (terps) x male (stucture) as a generally way of mind for breeding perspective but of course there's always some surprises and stronger genetics that can surpass others and break the general first combinaison expected. (indica often surpass sativa from my experience)
Anyway there's also some good fruity/honey things to find in Africa, for sure in minority and its selection is hard from landrace but doing pure tasty African F1 is possible and represents really cool projects! Things like my last Zamb (tropical fruity bubble) x Swaz (spicy coca cola) ya but many many more things to create and develop in the terpeny Afro vibes.
Some African sativas just plain have really gross tasting bitter terps and some don't even smell good, they just burn your nose.
living in a cold climate kind of sucks.
The other day I found one last seed from last year in my fridge. It´s lowryder auto and I´m thinking of popping it and putting it by my the window.
Hehe really cool which one is that?
Keen to hear where you got it. You can send me a dm on IG my username is africaseeds
Hello AfricaSeeds!!
Very nice to read about make hybrids. Im more to OTH & Honduras from Ace Seeds about exotic smell and taste and very good high but as you ask about african strains the only I tried is Etiopia from Ace Seeds and Malawi Gold from RSC, but Malawi Gold from RSC didnt have bite taste, in fact was so good, like spicy earth "oil" smell if that make sense. No "marijuana" smell. Only complain is the low smell they have. You need to stay less than 1 meter to smell it, and when you smell, is not like typical marijuana smell.
About the Etiopia strain from Ace Seeds I have to admit is not the most refined smell, not strongly bad, but far away from OTH fruit smell or wood incense exotics smells. If you want to improve the taste, dont go to Etiopia. The high was good, but taste not.
I think you can cross Malawi Gold to other strains and select for this good taste and smell. But if you want stronger smell, Malawi Gold is not good choice.
Hope it helps, wish you luck!
Nice that came from here. Came from kilo's of unlabeled stuff from Swaziland that we sorted.
Here is the pic of one of the buds we got it from.
