Pretty cool, i couldnt resist rubbing a nug of a elite selection from a hybrid i made here and it has a mildly sweet bubble gum smell to the buds, and that with the creamy mandarin orange of the males stem rub should be super interesting alot of seeds are forming on it. I am excited about that one as well as the angolas, they seem very friendly compared to what you would think of an african sativa, soft and elegant profiles and leaves.
How are the red Angola doing?
are you growing indoor or outdoor? what soil type and ph as well, and the angolas i reproduced in rainy season ill grow some for buds but last grow was for reproducing seeds i had 2 male and 4 females one got to around 1m even with stress from chickens. he has some swazi skunk i think you might like.
Thanks for the reply.i grow indoor/coco/DTW. I keep PH 5.8-6 with ec 1.1-1.2. I am ok with controlling height. He has some i like. Nothing over 18weeks.
I think for non racy strain that chill, The Migori from Kenya is Uplifting without being racy i believe, it has the floral terpenes that balance out the energetic lemon and spicyness, another option is the Kwale a coastal kenya strain i am going to start soon ive had the seeds a year already i think. The Kambi, will be more toned down but with more energetic profile since it wil be fed more nutrients in that system constantly than in its native climate which is a bit drier. Same with Kilimanjaro, some of them can be picky when they are grown out of their environment too much,. If i had to recommend the best strain mike has, its not posted on his site now but he has seeds for indoor is Swazi Gold x Skunk its been grown in S. Africa almost 20 years or more outdoors acclimated. its known as swazi skunk but its more energetic it has no hybrid side to it but its like a pumped up S.african landrace. that i believe will respond better to an indoor environment based on its heritage, The Uganda strains he has are grown and finish flowering in high humidity , as well as the kwale so i dont think they will be good for flowering in dry environments like s.african skunk or kilimanjaro or even kyumbi or migori because those areas have more pronounced wet/dry season
so if you start a strain from region with more daylight hours like Swazi Skunk or Ethiopian, it may need more variation than pure 12/12 its whole lifecycle where a strain from close to the equator will have no light change, these strains i recommend using natural cues if your keeping them in 12/12 to initiate flowering and let them finish properly, alot of strains if they don't have the right cues they wont finish to their most potential in my opinion. depending on its regions use drought stress, and or lower humidity to enhance full flowering. slightly lower temps. or lower temps and humidity and water less over time gradually. it depends on its native environment trying to mimic it the best you can indoors, even ph wise.
