^ ic mag seedboutique threads. no problems i'm aware of.

the title search box is at top of page in green area box.

the advanced search function is also in the same green shaded area above the title search box available after you hit the search .

lots of threads here at ic mag. best collection of landrace growers of any forum i'm familiar with. review some zamal threads and read the landrace threads. really good informaton here.

when you post a message (quick reply box at bottom of page) there is an icon box at the top of your white message box. the three right hand icons allow you to quote, post images and links. if you have problems posting images there are threads on how to post images. if you post threads from another forum there are tutotials on how to rename links so ic mag moderators don't edit out references to other forums.

i go 17/7 veg. and 11.5/12.5 for landraces. lots of options. ferts are important (low ferts for lots of landraces, especially n). threads on this on landrace threads too. i lst (bend stems) and defoliate fan leaves during veg. some to constrict stretch.

we've got the best landrace crew here at ic imo which is why i hang out here. tons of info thru search function here at ic.

great to have you onboard lysop.

hey,

a small update

5 of 7 plants shows big leafs which get smaller the bigger the plants got and 2plants have thin leafs but one of them is crippled and the other one have very small leafs.
i think this Zamal genetic is not the pure one or its fake.. but we have to wait for the flower to say it definitely.
today is flower day 3
regards lysop

ps i m not sure how to post the link of the german community becaus im scarred i do something wrong ( my english sucks 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!

Is Seeds Of Africa in any way connected to the African Seeds Company? (Ethiopian Highland, Zambian Copper, Kariba Surprise, Transkei Green, Swazi Rooibard, Malawi Gold, Durban Poison, etc.)

If you read the ASC package, the lines they had planned but didn't apparently release were:

Mozambique Maconde
Madagascar Magic
Congo Fever DRC
Cameroon Coffee
Vasco da Gama Senegal

Does anyone know what happened to seeds of africa?their site doesnt work for few days now.

i dont know but i think my zamal that i grow at the moment is no pure strain grow like a sativa x white widow cross

bless Babylon

hey,

my 4 zamal from soa wich left seems like hybrids.
3 female 1 male.
Im realy like becaus the only real Sativa Phäno turned into a male.
My 2 good female Plants are definatly Sativa Indica Hybrids.
Between a fast and high growing Sativa with large thin leafs and a Indica with small broad leafs and slow veg.
The Sativa impression is dominant.

My 2 Pondo Mystic and 2 Caffee Gold grow like pure Sativa this 2 strains are different too.
Caffee Gold seem early flowering in comparison to Pondo Mystic.

I need more time to grow my Zamal male and female out and pollinate if possible to say more about this strains but someone who search a non hybrid strain from a pure source wont be happy with all seeds of this strain from SOA.
Maybe ^^ a SensiSeed shop was already opened on Reunio.
Who knows!!!

regards lysop

I think it was in 2002 or 2003, I asked for the Congolese in a growshop. The owner told me he had sold some packs a few months before but that strain never arrived again.

He told me the seeds were big but not as peach pips

New Strains

Follow our adventures as our team travels into some of the remotest parts of Southern Africa to meet with traditional growers and tribal elders in search of new and exotic strains for our seed bank.


Upcoming Features
1. We journey down the Zambezi Valley to meet the Butoka people to learn about their centuries old art of cannabis growing.
2. To northern Zambia where cannabis grows freely amongst manioc and maize. Rumour has it that the buds are so ripe with resin, they are ready to pop.
3. To the DRC (Formally Zaire) – Africa’s heart of darkness. Here the plants are reputedly as big as banana plants with seeds like peach pips. Wracked by civil war the country may be down but the cannabis and people certainly aren’t.
4. To hilly Makondi country is northern Mozambique, where wood carving and ganja smoking are as old as civilisation its self.
5. We trek deep into the mountains kingdom of Lesotho following the ancient ganja trails. Getting stoned at 10000 ft gives a new meaning to getting high. Natural selection has played its role here – plants are short and stocky, buds juicy. Seeds used to hardship grow well with kindness.
6. Madagascar a cross road of Asia and Africa. Here we find evidence of the first African Indica varieties. We set out to find them and return with a precious seed stock

Greetings.

hey,

realy sad all this pure landrace Seedbanks from one country like africanseeds are gone.

regards.

PS. i cant advice Zamal from SoA ... just a hybrid.

first smoke report: durban seeds of africa

i ran 2 packs. i selected 4 durban females and one non hermie durban male.

the male had some indica looking influence, mostly sativa. best male i could find.

durban female #3 had frosty tight nugs. smelled good; slight anise seed/liquorice terpene undertones. potency was very good. high was an excellent up, clear, energetic euphoric type high. duration was good 3 hours.

i'm regenerating/revegging this pheno.i have 2 clones rooting. i will only use this dp #3 next year outdoors of the durbans.



this pheno ranks right now with my best of the best. it's a keeper.



second smoke report:

malawi gold seeds of africa:

one female, one male selected keeper out of two packs. the female is now my most prized potential breeder keeper. very potent. tastes like pineapple. smells strong stank. good gooiness/oils/sticky. tight bud formation. very potent. up, energetic and pretty psychoactive. good long duration to the high.

seeds of africa is probably unworked seeds from the area they claim. you need to run at leat two packs of the zamal ( i have 2 great phenos finisheng now, both the spicy zamal type zamal by smell), i only found 1 grail selected malawi gold female and one male mg.

according to many reports african cannabis genetics have been polluted with indica, skunk and autoflowering genetics. you need to run a bunch and select for the pure leaning phenos.

i'm looking for sativas that can be hybrided into grail landrace sativa for bud structure ( increased yield, ease of trimming) for commercial grows. personal smoke strains do not need great bud structure in my program. commercial strains do need good bud structure in my breeding program.

the durban and the malawi gold are both excellent potential candidates.

the selected durban #3 pheno and malawi gold female #1, might be exactly what i've been looking for. we'll see.

the two keeper zamals are frosty and stink great spicy terpenes. i'll harvest as soon as the seeds on them are ready. my one soa zamal male was slightly hermie. i used his pollen into my zamal leaning red haired zamalish out of zamaldelica and into one of my spicy non hermie zamal soa females for future work.

i harvest indoors when the pollen drops from the males and the seeds are ready on the females so i will not really know until these strains and hybrids are run outdoors (organic) in my area and after a good cure.

i've got a lot of indoor strain preservation, pollen freezing, hybrid breeding work to do in a very small space.

Any pics of the durban?
