Ahoy Herbman,
Just browsing your thread. Thought to drop you a line. Regarding the many varieties you got while in banghi, some heavy cerebral some just pure shit grass, but all being seedless, Ive begun noticing this trend in mainly the heavy cerebral strains around southern africa around 2004, my first experience with a rasta that explained to me what a cross was, he further explained why you wouldn't want a hybrid over a STABLE landrace or Stable landrace cross. He also schooled me on why then the foreseeable future would be full of polluted genetics (the future is now). I hadn't really digested the convo up until i woke up to seed banks and breeding and genetics in general. Now almost every strain that is sold around south africa is a cross of sorts, pure strains are rare or you end up with unstable hybrids.
If you would buy a parcel of lets say swazi in 2004, it would be 1/4 seeds!!! for weight addition so dealer can score, big fats seeds none the less and very very usable, come 2009 the bud itself changed in structure, more dense, intro of curing techniques after the normal dry and sell. The seeds in these packages are now light in color and very fragile. Cant compare them to pure land-race seed. They're prob half in size.
Good on you for allowing me to draw that reference. The current stock on markets here is Hybrid crosses x landraces, and they are super unstable. 90% of the time they herm and thats whats currently replaced the brown-weed varieties,
.......also, brown weed really does come in varieties some ice naturally in the sun, some dont show any signs of ice but the bud has red/orange inclined hueys on brown bud thats heavy head hi but none really with a full body or a lasting body around here, others are typical southern africa sativa ganja plants with a super depressing and almost no THC type hi, so if you've smoked CBD strains before, you could also make a wild assumption and say they are more high CBD inclined. Would love to run this DNA test on 4-5 odd strains from my area.
Great on you man, hope you get some cool eastern jets to set soon.
One Love
I am collecting seeds I have quite a bit but no way to grow, eventually I would like to grow them in their natural environment using 30 gallon pots outdoors
