As far as I know, actually South African strains are not so fast flowering as magazines hype use to say.

My influence is Swazi Rooibaard 12 years old experience so far of Westerners magazine. ;)

I really don't know why Lesotho strains aren't more widespeat among cultivators around the world.

Next decade will be different and more awared without any doubt!

Durban notion is just an urban legend, Dutch ignorance and stupidity that brainwashed the cannabis community to the detriment of the real SA cradle of Eswatini Swazi Kingdom, Lesotho included ^^

All the powerful of South African strains comes from altitude spots of Drakensberg areas, far of Durban sea level! Elevation and UV make the plant more resinous, precocious and poison speed drug hallucinogenic.

Cheers i'm The King! :biggrin:
UNODC report from 1999 seems to agree with your theory to some extent. That what is known as Durban Poison (in South Africa!) is actually import.


South Africa is not only an exporter of cannabis, but also an important importer. Cannabis is shipped
to South Africa from countries such as Malawi, Zambia, (SAMRC, 1998) Lesotho and Swaziland (OGD,
1997/98). In particular Lesotho, Swaziland and Malawi are specialized in the production of cannabis varieties with a high THC content, known as Durban Poison, Swazi Gold or Malawi Gold.

Those three strains are 100% all different had each and for sure not the same
Maybe there was people selling them as this and that when it was something else but when you got swaz Malawi or durbs you knew it .. there so much hay to so it was really distinguishable

It's a little bit vague but I don't think they make the claim that the three strains are the same.

Can’t be import if it’s from the same country …
I mean the durbs .. but Swazi was the main locally smoked import , and is was better then the “durbs”
Malawi cobs was hard to come by
But those were the strongest 100%
Theres still a lot of Swazi about in South Africa but it’s changed

I experienced Cape Town bagseeds from Rasta, supposed Swaz but everything there is labelled as Swaz to sell better. But yes indeed no Durban grow here and not necessary when you have its origin as Swaz and Red ^^

Also you say the Swaziland landrace is still pure so hmmm
Pure no problemo, Afropips know Nkomati vibes, prehistoric NLD no doubt imho! And very strong knowledge and canna culture in Eswatini, thousands years older than sea level areas and it's still powa and alive.

Ja but you haven’t had it or grown it yourself so yeah , the Durban heads will know the pencils
Also eswatini is only 17.000km squared big which is tiny
Eastern cape alone is 168.000km squared

And if you see greenhouse strain hunters were there more then 10yrs ago handing out there genetics ..so a lot of cross pollination going on .. that’s why the Swazi you get now is not the same ask any old head
It’s still power and alive but tainted with Dutch ..
and yes very knowledgeable people on the cannabis cultivation

Afropips was there before the taint

The 1999 UNODC report doesn't dispute South African production. In fact it says that if the highest estimates are correct, South Africa would be "by far - the world’s largest producer of marijuana".

It just mentioned that some imported cannabis is known as "Durban Poison" which was in line with Roms' theory. I don't know if it's correct, but that is what they said.

Yup the keyword is some , but for sure some came from Lesotho and Transkei too
He also says he has never had Durban pencils or grown any
Also don’t know he can say that Malawi and eswatini are better growers
I say theres excellent growers in each country
Obviously South Africa has more .. bigger pool of growers gonna have better good growers then a tiny pool of growers
Says maths …

Write Eswatini without uppercase say a lot about disrespect and ignorance of the bigger pool.

I talk about genetics lol not growers abilities that is absolutely very secondary

Here's concrete maths :

Swazi Rooibaard (Afropips's Atao's grown by @JustGrowing420 )

Lol that’s just the way it typed, so petty
Anyway you say genetics , then you say Malawi is very connected with Swaziland
Eswatini ( there we go ) But South Africa is closer to Malawi
And is it’s also very connected with South Africa where most the buyers are
anyway all theses countries shred similar genetics you can’t deny that
Those original Afropips or your Atao work

Too fat pistils for South African Pure Sativa, and where are red hairs lol colorblind?

Low lands of Durban are definitely polluted by westerners genetics in all senses, sad to not be able to recognize pure sat by the look or by its smoke and effects :biggrin:
