Hi nldfarmer,

Yes, original ethiopian African Seeds release had hermies and many mediocre/hay phenos. We had to deal with different ethiopian lines and many P2 parental plants until find the desirable and firm phenos to produce our P3 first ethiopian release. I think it was well worth the effort, really happy to be able to release a more refined and 'clean' version of this classic african sativa

I live at 33.5, hardiness zones 9a/9b though we've been very warm the last five years. We average over 130 days above 86°F. Is it too late to order and germinate these seeds?

Sprout 'em by April they will be fine.

Awesome. Will that leave time to be picky about when I harvest? Will planting them earlier be a problem? Thanks in advance - I'm a rank amateur and I really want some plants to make it through to harvest.

Hi LogRhythmic,

The spring has just started in the northern hemisphere so there's still plenty of time to start with the outdoor planting. In fact, tropical and subtropical sativas like the ethiopian can be started quite late without problems. This ethiopian line finishes around 3rd week of November around 37ºN latitude, so it will finish a bit earlier (7-10 days) in your latitude.

Hope it helps!

Just to make sure that you know this - MJ has a photoperiod dependant flower cycle, meaning they will be ready for harvest at roughly the same time wether you planted in march or may.
The difference in planting time will be size - the earlier you plant, the bigger they will grow.

I think they will be happy in your climate.
