[strained]

I have read a few articles on strains on the internet and many of them talked about some herb called black african magic that was rare even in the 70s and it appered to have black buds...have any of you heard of this before?

bump as i'd like to know that also??

The magic african black is for real. It used to be around more years ago. It has been a long time since I seen the black. It is beyond powerful. It was not like any weed i ever smoked. It was like another plant all together. I never smoked hash but the power must be at least as strong. I hope others would add their experiences as this strain is starting to be talked about more and more lately.
The herb that i smoked was 85% black 15% deep rich chocolate brown. It was shinny and felt very heavy for the amout of bud. The tiny buds were sticky and tore like taffy. It did not have any real smell before being burned. The smell of the smoke after being lit was memorable. It had a powerful smell that traveled like a floating 10 foot wall. "Pungent earth spice musk" I really think of this one and only bud as true medicine. It is the only bud I would perscribe for a freind with a mental disorder. It smoothly opened so many mental planes. The effects were very calm, aware and deep. It was not that you are just "high" it was like an spritual experience.
When I come across post of peoples encounter with the black the vision quest like experience seemed to show up more often than not in the conversation.

the Zombe Plateau, Malawi is from what I have heard one particular home of this weed "Zombe Black" a.k.a "Zombie Black"

I always heard it was from liberia

nice

how is the smoke?

it would be good to get a consensus on African black herb

presumably there are two issues here - genetics and preparation:

- black cultivars, where the herb has very dark pigmentation

- fermentation methods which produce very black results


I would guess Zombe Black cultivars are heavily fermented, as well as having black pigmentation

as I am always saying (stuck record) some of the strongest herb I smoked in the Caribbean and South America was black fermented ... very strong, and not something likely to leave the country

where can we find seeds of this zombie black???

[Herbalistic]

I think I smoked this Black Magic/Zombie herb about 10 to 11 years ago in mid~90´s. We get this amazing black bud with my 3 friends and we went straight smokin it. It doesnt smell before breaking it(maybe because we mix it outdoors), but when you break it, it produced very strong stinging aroma. First we smoked about 0.6 grams of it and then waited like 10 seconds and people was complainig that it doesnt get you high(how wrong we can be...) and smoked another bowl about the same amount as the first. BOOOM, then it hit, first you noticed little pressure at your eyes and temples and then you mind started wandering. It was VERY racy & even paranoid, hey, we were kids who usually smoke some Moroccon hash not bud, so this black bud really surpriced us!!!

It´s appereance was shiny black with red to purple(?) pistils and were really sticky, no seeds found.

Like I said it has been something like 10 to 13 years when I smoked it, but all the bud I have smoked it has been very special because I can remember it still so well! I tryid to track it couple years ago and talked to the guy who it get it us then and he also said that it has been some nicest nugs he has ever smoked and that he dont know nothing else about it, than that guy who selled it said it was African...

That is a strain that I wanna grow in the future if I just can track it!!! It got that classical sativa structure with leafy buds but it had received some pressure(not pressured for bricks) and the it was so sticky, so it had transformed to very dense nug.

Keep It Green & Growin But Don´t Forget The Smokin!
Peace Out Growers!

Hola

Some Congoleses take color black, are not black coal, are more similar to "rioja red reserve". In interior it is not obtained, but with a good sun and in the ground some are put almost black. Grass fermented during the drying, I often saw in Africa, and it never seemed to me of the best thing, mainly by the flavor. It pardons badly by the English, but use a translator. We have crossed a red Angola a black Congolese, to see how it is left the result. No commercial house of seeds sells them, at least that I know.


"Rioja tinto" is a spanish wine.


Greetings to all





Algunas congoleñas cogen color negro, no es negro carbón, es más parecido a un “rioja tinto reserva”. En interior no se consigue, pero con un buen sol y en el suelo algunas se ponen casi negras.
Hierba fermentada durante el secado, vi en África muchas veces, y nunca me pareció de lo mejor, sobre todo por el sabor.
Perdona por el mal inglés, pero uso un traductor.
Hemos cruzado una Angola roja con una congoleña negra, a ver cómo queda el resultado.
Ninguna casa comercial de semillas las vende, por lo menos que yo sepa.

Saludos a todos
