not only is the best source to get zamal, also the best prices.

Se envian a los EEUU? No lo he visto como un opcion. Si los hacen, necesito comprar un paquete de 1972 dorado Colombiano de USC!
Do they ship to the US? I haven't seen it as an option. If they do I need to get a pack of the 1972 Colombian gold from USC!
Jact55 - I know it's slower and riskier, but have you considered sending cash? I've done it that way with a few other seedbanks and haven't had any issues yet.

Tropical emailed me the other day and said they could take payment via paypal. I asked for an invoice, havent gotten it yet.
Still no response from french touch.
Im fairly certain the k1 and mangu on their site are from french touch. Same pics and such. I doubt they just stole their shit.
I will look at the alchemia site, i think ive been on there before and couldnt find a usa ship option, as djimb said. (Update: before i sent this i just looked quickly. It doesnt offer a shipping cost estimator for the usa. Bad sign) Ive thought about the cash thing. I dunno. Its not that im worried about losing a hundred or two bucks, just havent truely needed to. Maybe i need to think harder on that option.
I thank you all for helping in my search to get more zamal seeds. Ill get em somehow.

Water-
I've been grabbing all the landraces I can in the last few months as each place gets shut down to US credit cards and shipping.
I cant find zamal anywhere either.
Maybe find someone you can trade with on the Internet

Hey meizz, how long ago was this? I recently ordered the same seeds. It took them about a month to post the payment and ship out the seeds, even though it usually only takes a week or so for mail to get to the UK from here.
I hope you get them after all. I'd love to see how they do outdoors!

Tropical seeds seems to have the french touch offerings, plus their double zamal. Working on getting them payment. Anyone from the usa wire money to sites? Thats the other option. Uncharted territory for me, makes me nervous.
French touch site, but my card wont work there.
Seedsman has them from time to time, they dont take visa any more, if ya have a mastercard though.
I have 1 K1 and 7 double zamal that are just above soil. I will have seeds in a couple months from those plants. Im just going to cross in the K1 with the double zamal. I dont have much choice now.
It was early 2017, I believe Gypsy or someone else mentioned there was a bad apple in the organization and he may have fixed the problem?
Thank goodness some sober comments on hermie plants...cull them all
There is no genetic material worth keeping them in future generations and culling has been a well established breeding practice for hundreds of years.Best of luck with your projects and great thread.

i don't agree . with that statement.
there is at least one reason in one special case to keep hermies and reproduce them.
it's when you have a limited amount of seeds from a special line and you want to preserve it .
to preserve it you have to preserv all genetic material you can in order to keep it alive for future generation and also to avoid any consanguinity leading to the death of the line few generation later.
and outcrossing it to add new genetic material (or any other reasons..) will not keep the line pure as it should be.
that been done you can do what you want with the hermies. culling discarding etc... but never in any case do that in preservation run .
preserving with one male or one female the old fashion way left us with on ly shadows from the past instead of .....who knows anymore...

Its tough. 99.9 percent of the time im all for culling. The situation mani is describing is exactly the scenario i was in. I did cull them, and one female made it through unhermied, so i didnt lose the line. But it made for some nail biting on my end.
Update on zamal hunt using my CC to buy. Tropical did send me a paypal invoice, and actually promptly. My eyes missed it in my inbox. I was able to pay visa for mangu and k1. Ill update those interested on how shipping goes, but im sure there will be no issue.

Alright last update on my current run, and introduction on the next plants working.
I have harvested seeds on all of my Ethiopian plants, and most of the mazar plants. I will finish those off tonight, along with the panamaxblueberry x Malawi, and then start on the Malawi, they took a touch longer than the rest.
Thoughts on each strain:
Malawi- what a resin bomb they are. every plant is super coated. The smells were minimal. Light resin, a baked bread smell? not really even much sweet smell, almost just neutral. Variation was minimal, some had larger buds versus some being a touch more "stringier". overall they were very uniform, and seemed that if grown properly they are very heavy yielders for sativas.
Mazar- structurally, they were fairly uniform. Smells of resin/hash, berries, funk, fuel. Decent resin that came on strong, fast. later on in life, they didn't pack on much more, but it was still frosty. Buds were semi dense, for landrace though, quite dense. Nice sturdy plant that I feel has great value in crosses.
Ethiopian- I like these plants. A "dainty", not super sturdy plant that has a low to medium resin, and a very light citrus sweet smell. I feel that if I was to have smoked these three strains, this one would have been my preference. But I like a light stone. Buds were medium density, not pure fluff, but not dense. great lower branching, with a towering center stalk.
Panama x Blueberry- hit this tiny plant with Malawi pollen. Late on, the last couple weeks, it has packed on resin heavy. Top and bottoms of fan leaves are coated, and curling upwards, blueberry type look. The smell has a heavy citrus, but has kept that and added a berry/fruit tone as well. really nice plant, pics don't do justice.
Pic 1/2/3- Malawi
pic 4- mazar
pic 5- Ethiopian
pic 5/6/7- panama x bb
I can add more mazar n Ethiopian pics if you guys so wish.
sorry for the sideways pics. this dumb ass laptop/dumbass me

And what is now going to fill up my tent
I have 10 DJ short blueberrys. I have wanted to do these for a while and make crosses in the future. They are a few weeks old now. I have heard they are finicky, and fuck they are. They like to droop on my, they are happy one day and not the next. they also have a weakness for my current nemesis, thrips. I just transplanted them, and to my surprise, they were quite root bound. hopefully the extra soil makes em happy. at least the have good roots. I just sprayed the fuck out of em with organic pesticides. I am also making a tobacco juice, for the last of my tobacco leaves I grew a while back, hopefully this will aid the attacks. pic one is the blueberry
I have the lone French touch K1, and 7 tropical seeds double zamal. I will breed the k1 with the zamal. I do have more K1 and mangu carrot in route, so this will be a good tester run no doubt. The K1 leaves are wider than I expected, but very long. she will be a stringy gal (hopefully a gal). The double zamal are seedlings, but leaves are very narrow. pic 2 is K1, pic 3 is double zamal. pic 4 is a double zamal mutant, multiple initial leaves, making a star shape.
I just put 12 Ace Guatemala in paper towels late last night. that will be my third tent's inhabitants.

Whenever I enter your garden, it is as if it entered mine. We cultivate the same.
The interesting thing is that we are in different hemispheres, while my plants just grow yours show their flowers.
great job
regards
ps: double zamal are not from tropical seeds, they are from JGL their breeders, from Underground seeds.
