Hi

Its finished and all smoked now. Grew it a few months ago.

I was never lucky enough to sample anything from sssc or dutch catalogs of old days, but I do know some things about swazi since I've been growing it for years.

I grew 3 different sources of swazi at the same time, and I could see that only one of them was of the real landrace type. The other two types did not branch properly in a typical sativa landrace fashion. I see this in hybrids mostly.

The 'older' type suffered badly from powdery mildew while the pole shaped ones did not.

In the end I made seeds with two of the pole type and two of the older type with another swazi male from a 4th source.

After smoking the winner was a pole shaped anise smelling one. It did not yield very much and it had very small calyx's but the smoke was really good. A light misty savory anise flavor. The high was only in the head. A bit dreamy but with no body tiredness. Not the easiest to concentrate. My mind wants to float away to other thoughts constantly.

There were two more plants of mention.

One was an old type that stayed short but with proper branching. Its bud structure was much better than the new types, solid sativa spears with not too much fox-tailing. Taste was tropical fruits, cigar tobacco, a touch of perfume. High was not the most complex, quite average for a sativa. Pleasant and social.

The other was a pole shaped one that was the most resistant to powdery mildew. It got practically none on it. The buds were fox-tailing a lot with a loose structure that you would associate with haze or some tropical sativa. The high on this one was similar to the anise smelling one but more fuzzy in the head. The smell was strange but very nice. So many things coming into one smell, predominantly sweet and spicy but with a leathery background - hard to describe.

All plants came down after 13 weeks and they were finished. African sativas doing their thing

So this next round we are planting a bunch of the seeds from the anise one and will see what the gene group looks like.

Love that Sativa pinecone bud structure!

I don't mind it.
That is the only part that does not look like the Thai that I have grown in the past. I do remember smoking Sumatran that was way chunkier than the bud wrapped around the Thai Sticks. The Sumatran was just as good as the Thai, and very similar in effect.

Thanks for the good vibes.

It does remind me of a pheno I got out of a pack of old mist of destruction bx beans I grew a few years back. Looks great TB!
I was sent Hawaiian/SWT3 (beanho) x Miss Universe awhile back. Need to crack a few of those.

Nice, how does she smell?

Nice, how does she smell?

It is very sweet, fruity, and it is balanced with a basil/earthiness. I suspect when it cures, the basil and earthiness will become dominant, but I only grew one other, and it was nothing like this one. The other one had a lemongrass aroma to it with some fruitiness.

Here are pictures of the first one I grew. It looked like an indica, but note the eleven leaflets:

It did get a bit more sativa looking later:
