Congo

Congo black description sounds very close to compressed and fermented tropical sativa, it happens in Paraguay too, they grow huge quantities of sativas (varying quality), some is pressed and fermented producing a darker more narcotic kind of finished product.

does that not make the pot go all moldy?

This strain looks really nice, i've been looking for something 70-80% or more sativa that i can grow indoors. How well does she do indoors?

High all,

She does very well indoors, 10-12 flowering time, bushy strucuture with medium internodes. She matures indoors with shorter size than panama or tikal.

Yes, sometimes the very compressed paraguayan compressed bricks goes moldy, not very desirable or healthy smoke but if you had good contacts you can find good paraguayan weed, no so much compressed, it still has the flower appearance, they call it 'camaron' in Paraguay.

Weed must be very very dried and correctly cured before compress it, sometimes this kind of products are elaborated in tropìcal places and it's hard to avoid moisture in the process, mainly when they are working with such huge harvests.
 
that sounds like what i've been smokin for a while, african brick (probably from around west africa, somewhere in the stretch between nigeria and senegal), very compressed, sometimes has a bit of mold. i found, generally, if there are nearly no seeds, the brick tends to be drier, less likely to have mold on it, i think more seeds keeps the humidity inside the brick, maybe it's also that the brick with less seeds, comes from farmers who take more care of their crop/harvest (either case it still needs to be broken up and dried a bit before smoking, after being unwrapped).
the better brick, has a nice spicy taste, leaves an indian food like smell in a room when smoking inside.
have plenty of seeds i have accumulated, i should save most of them in a cool dry place, there maybe some extreme highs to be had from growing out the seeds, however they're probably untamed ridiculously long flowering sativas.

High ganjabrother,

Compressed weed is commoun product in many places around the world, mainly in Mexico, south america and africa.

Biggest production zone in Paraguay is around Pedro Juan Caballero, they grow many kind of different genetics, mainly sativas, the old best ones were related to the red south americans, now a big part of genepool has been crossed with skunks and other 'dutch' genes, sad thing.

I think you can find very interesting things in senegal and nigeria, senegalese sativas are quite fast flowering (10-14 weeks) and relative easy to adapt to northern zones. Nigerians usually need 14 weeks or more. Hope you can find something interesting in your seeds.

Lovely Seismic :smile:

They look short, healthy and branchy, nice structure for indoor growing. Hope you enjoy them!

dubi- So would you recommend flowering them in their 1gal containers until they show flower sites, then transplant into 2-3 gallon containers?

High Seismic,

If you havent got height restrictions then i'd re pot them in early flowering to maximize their growing and final yield.
