Was wondering what some of the earliest finishing landrace sativas are Ace/Canna Biogen work with ?

Also i understand Lesotho is one of the faster ones,, will these be released in pure form by CannaBioGen in the future or any other fast highland africans ?

Wasn't their a release one time of a african strain from a highland region in southern tanzania if i recall ?

Would love to get my hands on some pure landrace sats that @ 30 deg latitude would finish by the last week of September.



Big Thanks

Good day LittleBigMan,

Lebanese and moroccan strains are probably the fastest landrace sativas we have found but it's hard to find consistency and quality with these kind of landraces, there are lot of hermies and auto flowering traits as well.

CBG's Leshoto is a very interesting highland sativa, it grows short, fast, robust, with good potency and it's consistent for many traits. Leshoto has not been a main priority latest years so i don think there's enough stock fresh for a commercial release. Not sure it will be released in the future, it's a CBG's line so it's charlie's decission.

I remember african seeds distributing 'tanzanian magic' which was suposedly a 8 week flowering pure sativa. I have never grown or smoked her so i can not comment much about it.

Alex/mano negra had a great ethiopian/malawi hybrid which sadly is probably lost now. It grew small and matured very fast for a sat, finishing late september. It had a lovely ethiopian taste and a very strong sativa potency.

Damn, that "tanzanian magic" sounds cool. But who woulndt want a fast finishing Sativa?

I remember a thread, maybe here on icmag, where someone said he/she grew the tanzanian magic. He/she said it was a typically longflowering sativa, unlike the description.

Peace

I did some tanz magic some time ago, in the high hopes of getting a outdoor auto flower to grow Under the 24/7 Midnight Sun,

they presexed in 4-6weeks, the males matured under 24/7 sunshine, but the females grew to 3'+- and stopped? they just stopped growing ??, they didn,t grow another inch in 157 days ??

maybe they have some use as a auto height controled strain?? :-)

i brought them indoors and finished them under 12/12

i did IB a male with a female and made a sack of TM kerns.

i,ll try them again someday if i,m really bored.

its -36f outdoors here, boreing as Hell. it must be time to try some more TMs hehe

stay warm GK

Good day all and happy New Year! :smile:

Sure, i was skeptic too. A pure sativa would rarely have such a short flowering time coming from this tropical latitude. Tanzania is a very tropical country.

There are many auto flowering african sativas, even auto long flowering african sativas like zamal or malawis. The shorter non auto flowering tropical african sativa we have found would be bangi congolese. You can also find 'short' flowering sativas in other african latitudes like ethiopia, leshoto, south africa ...

Old Mexican sativas are excellent to breed with. They usually have med flowering times, good branchig, short internode distance, they react also faster to flowering than other more tropical sats. Mexican sats are easier to adapt to colder climates than other sativas. Here in Spain they work great in most places, even in pure form. Mexican sativas are interesting plants to cross with other long flowering sats.

PD: Pure mexican sativas would rarely finish late sept, earliest we have work with finish around the first 2 weeks of October, usually mid October. Other mexican take a little bit more of time, finishing early November.

Good day Goyakla,

We grow leb27 2 seasons ago, you can find our grow report at esbe's lines thread.

We found the lebanese very early flowering (indeed auto flowering) and outdoor resistant. But it lacked of resins, potency and terpene quality, at least grown in our hot mediterranean climate.
