These two plants were harvested in 9 weeks of flower under 9 hours 15 minutes lights on schedule. They could have gone another week I guess but I thought they were wasting space in the tent after the first plant failed to deliver the goods.

Greetings Yesum,
Thanks for the info. Sounds like you harvested about 4weeks to early. Ethiopian also takes a good cure to bring out the longer lasting medi hold. I am glad even at 10 weeks young yours provided a pleasing and encouraging effect thst made you regret not cloning. That is good motivation for a next grow when you can schedule and plan to give her 12 to 14 weeks you will be very pleasantly surprised by both yield and quality of smoke and high.
Happy growing!

This is the good plant with a few seeds from what I do not know. I pollinated some other plants and I do not see nanners on the EH.

This stuff had a week to go maybe but I see a few amber trichs and all the pistils are brown. My light schedule lowers flower time.

Hi yesum,

I've been smoking many different pure ethiopian females with more than a year and half of curing since late 2015, and i concur with you that there's some variability in the effects of the strain, depending on the female you can find more or less uplifting, nervous, thought provoking, social and 'good feeling' effects.

What i don't see clearly is that you can harvest well matured ethiopian sativa buds in just 9 weeks of flowering, i only found 1 female from a third ethiopian line that was more compact and early flowering (10-11 weeks) but it was very hermie and the smoke was terrible and therefore it was discarded from our selections and reproduction of the strain.

Our ethiopian release, as ULMW correctly pointed out, needs in average at least 12 weeks of flowering to mature correctly, sometimes even 1-2 weeks more (depending on the growing variables). It's not a good way to judge a tropical/subtropical sativa landrace if you harvest her too early and you try to evaluate her without proper drying and curing process.

Anyway, guess you still have more ethiopian seeds to explore, and hopefully you will be able to find the kind of desirable effects you found in your second ethiopian female, but please, let her mature, dry and cure properly until the end before evaluate her.

Well you are the master dubi not doubt. But I do not see great differences or any in most cases, in cured buds over fresh. I hang my plant whole to dry. When they are dry they are ready, but that is me.

I will let the EH go longer next time but again, these were under high blue 10,000 Kelvin lights at a much shortened light schedule. It makes a difference.

Here's our favourite Ethiopian sativa mother, growing organically in a pot. She is growing very vigorously (and stretching like mad!) in our very sunny and hot summers

The rains from last week flushed the plant quite a lot, now she needs a good feeding to face the flowering stage.

Here is an ethiopian growing in a 5gal under a ceramic light inside. a sour ghana male was intentionally left in the tent to create seeds. From the onset of flower i have been pleasantly surprised by the potent smells coming from this ethiopian line. Smells of wood and herbs. underside of some leaves showed purple.

A good strain no doubt. I revisited the 'bad' pheno a while back and it was not bad anymore. Both plants are good to go.

Not a silly or goofy high, ideal for Rastafarians or others wanting to get in touch with themselves and the earth.

To suit her best sunshine seems to go hand in hand with this girl. Like to give it a run

Hi sativa-herbivor,

I'm so glad you felt motivated to experience our recent Honduras and Ethiopian sativa releases You are a real sativa fanatic!

You are right, the ethiopian produces classic earthy and woody african sativa aromas, not refined at all, but completely faithful to its african sativa essence.
