Seeds of Africa seedbank??? - Landraces - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Mustafunk · 09-19-2012, 10:58 PM

Hey there guys,

I just found info about this new? seedbank called Seeds of Africa. They are offering an interesting selection of african classic strains at great prices too.

Never had any information until now and couldn't find even nice pictures or detailed info about the strains and seedbank. I was quite interested although the flowering times on the website about 50 to 85 days even for the Zamal seeds sound pretty suspicious though, so it doesn't look really legit....

Has anyone any information about the seedbank? This reminds me to that Holy Smokes/Malberry seeds... even though I've found some forum grow reports from the Mulanje and it looked like a real sativa landrace at least. It's a pity that nowadays it's so hard to purchase good and non hybridised lines. No space for exotic plants in this cannabis mainstream scene!

Thanks and good vibes for all the landrace lovers!

would be great if they were legit, ... but with such descriptions, no pictures, .... it's hard to say, seems like another one of the many scammers and rippers these days :/

blessss

Any new info about this seedbank?

Sites looks great and strains are very interesting, but is it "too good to be true"?

Ace and canabiogen have the same if not better selection. They've been around forever and have lots of verified grows. Why take the risk?

Qazz · 04-07-2013, 01:54 PM

Yes, Ace and Cannabiogen has alot of offerings, but somehow they and most other landrace breeders doesn't offer durban. (Afropips out of stock)
Okay Dutch Passion and Sensi has their versions, but I don't think they would fit in pure sativa category. More like dutch hybrids.

SoA might be fake, but if it isn't, those african genetics could be very special.
Thats why I was wondering if someone has any experiences with their seeds.

Like purple man said there are no real pictures, also the flowering times seem to low for those strains, I'm always looking for African strains but Im not gonna risk this for now until I see some grow's or more information.

Got some diffrent strains from them, but haven´t craked a bean yest, after i did purchase i wonder the same as you guys, " is this a scam" bu ton the other hand why not? My zamal seeds look big and fat likewise with the durban magic, nothing to complain on here, buttttt.. no info is not a good sign.

Hmmm.... interesting; wonder what their story is on the zamal. The zamal seeds I got from GN's Seeds Direct back in 05' are tiny .

Keep us updated 420Empire... we would love to see your experience with them.

Zamal seeds I've had were very tiny as well, like haze or south indian...

peace.
