Hello,

Iam start to learn SA strains and would like to see as much as possible greens to get ideas and roots knowledge...
Namibia, Durban and others SA, Swazi, Mozambique and further North to Malawi and Angola (Madagascar zamala too). It would be cool to compare it all, peace.

Nice!
You never stop my friend.
I got a few Malawi Gold, Etiopian, and South African crosses that i tested in my Moroccan project. Sadly all labeling was lost but i still have a few in my seed vault
When i have pics of any of mine i will bring them over here.
All the best for you brother

I have some from Malawi and Swazi I got during a trip in my Fridge ...
Planted the Malawi once, but its more suitable for breeding it seems to me. Doesn't yield much, but its incredibly comfortable with not getting watered

Look forward to your Marrocos spot amigo Paulo, the MG and SAs pix are fully welcome to document and describe those Africans shapes, tastes and greens bro. Thx

Hi welcome
With my little expérience the opposite in everything remains... For example i know that Malawi can yield sometimes and sometimes can be a bit hallucinogenic so not very comfortable But truth that the high is mostly clear and incredibly
Come back with photos and comments amigo


Sounds for fun

hmm, maybe I should simply try my luck again and pop one seed for next grow
I actually was a bit dissatisfied by the performance last time, but your comment gives me hope that I did not smuggle those seeds in vain

Cool

So try your luck with Swaz too, nice expériences anyway and great potent.
That's a hash African stuff with dark taste but incredibly high too, genetically close to the Malawi i think. But don't really know how the cannarelationship has evolved over time. My feeling is that growers of Swaziland would have made exchange seeds with those in Malawi many many years ago. What is interesting historically is to know what is the origin of, from South or North ? ..

Swazi Red details, 2 kind of shape "lance" and "christmastree". Blue greens from stretch sometimes and well resin specimens may appear. Dark hash cigar tastes but ripe fruits sometimes with long curing, a slight smell of lemon and honey but only during cultivation.

I've grown alot of africans landrace vars out in the last 10 years indoors and some just don't like the comfort of a grow room and do much better in the great outdoors or a greenhouse.Indoors, outdoor landrace vars only produce very small trichomes that are hardly visible to the naked eye but there are some plants from the same batch which will produce perfectly well indoors and a metal halide seems to bring out the best in them.
The plants that yeald well but produce small trichomes can make good breeding stock buy its trial and error.African seeds Malawi gold can produce very well indoors and you can still get the as the seedsmans malawi is from old african seeds stock(its been re-named tho but not hard to find)

I think it is safe to say that there are atleast two main layers of genetics in the genepool. Before the British, and after the British and the immigration of thousands of Indian workers.

Hi Thule
Yep bro pre-colonial side is my goal but also think to evaluate the wave according to British and Indian then but while thinking also to other Indian and Asian waves may be older..
We return to the issue of distant origins of cannabis, both from the north of Asia but also in the south and Indonesia. Then the migration of Austronesian peoples to Madagascar and southern Africa. Finally its just hypothesis but (?) I find it interesting, like proto-history vibes ++

Austronesians migrations :

To continue on this theme and history Austronesian we know it stopped at Madagascar. For dates known the map above shows +300, things that have been dated etc but I think the Indonesian migrations of peoples took place well before that date and that a meeting with the East coast of South Africa was quite likely. Very difficult to find today because these people had an oral transmission of culture. To dig the story must be both an archaeologist, anthropologist, linguist, biologist, etc. difficult to gather all these scientific skills. Must be able to surf superficialities and have deep knowledge to connect the clues. This is why the ancient history of southern Africa and Madagascar is somewhat lost today and almost impossible to refind.

For South Africa the ancient language is the Khoïsan, spoken by Bushmen. It exists today only in the South West Africa, Namibia and Botswana mainly. However there are still small groups in Kenya and Tanzania. It is easy to deduce that this language was that of the past in Southern Africa. Bantu peoples from the heart of Africa and Zulu tribes are then lowered to the opposite shores of Madagascar and drove slowly to the south of the Khoisan. Then it is the whites who came from the south and the Khoisan culture found itself stuck in a cultural vise before disappearing and being absorbed. Except in the Kalahari region, where they had to take refuge!?



From a physiological and morphological point of view I find that these Khoïsan peoples eyes are slightly slanted, they are also small in stature, skin clearer too. Quite comparable to the peoples of the highlands of Madagascar and some types Indonesian or Papua New Guinea! I think it's interesting to study, a proto historical perspective.

Now during that time very old, had the Khoïsan peoples cannabis in their culture (dagga) ???
Maybe a check with the ancient shaman of Namibia would be nice.

ps : Vibes Kerala and Tiki seeds for the Bambata au passage!
