420SA

I'm also a landrace skeptic, sadly. It would be a game changer for local breeders if they could bring those genetics back to life. The overseas market would drool for African landraces, bred at source.... but that ship has in all likelihood sailed.

A few years back, 2018 or 2019, Jair Velleman (former co owner of Gavita) was here for the cannabis expo and such. He and a couple mates ventured to Swazi and claimed to have gone to a grow site where they were growing swazi landraces. A video circulated of it. The plants were definitely heavy sativa, really tall and looked pretty legit but how do you know.... and if you don't know a person, who knows a person, who knows a random grower in Swaziland, then how do you further the preservation of those genetics....

Swazi is probably 95% dutch genetics now. There used to be some dudes in SA who were importing GHS seeds in the thousands and sending them straight to Swazi. Polluted that whole gene pool in a few years. Another reason to dislike GHS. RIP Franco

edit - gene pool pollution not really GHS fault but I believe they were privy to it

Greetings all

A moderate to major update has just been performed on the website. As you will notice, there is a fresher interface which will hopefully make your experience better here on 420SA.

Still some small issues which may be noticeable which I will get onto as soon as I have the chance again.

If you encounter any major issues on your end please let me know as soon as you encounter them.

Enjoy!

We're happy to welcome a new vendor to the 420SA family!

Good evening Growmies

My father has a Spaniel that seems to be going blind.. Would CBD oil treatment slow it down at all?

Has your ol man had a vet check it out? Is it cataracts?

We of course know about cannabis and the treatment of glaucoma. I think cataracts is a different ball game though

If used correctly, these nutes are just as good as the big names. 

Can't say for sure but my guess is you should be happy to see them. They do look like some form of ladybug

Isn't it the Organics Matter which is sold via the 420SA store?
Comes with a free bag of mycorrhizal fungi inside.
@Ill_Evan am I right or is it a different soil?

Lol if it's that then my bad! I obviously know what that is

There was another soil floating around jhb at some point, the branding was a turquoise like colour. Thought it might be that....anyways...

Living Organics sounds familiar but not 100% sure what it is.... where could we find out more on that soil?

We're happy to welcome a new vendor to the 420SA family!

Anybody know what strain this is ? I was gifted seeds by a friend from Canada in June 2020, he doesn't know either.

You'll never know bud. No way of telling what a strain is by looking at it. 

So to summarise and cover each question:

1. Should we keep it in checked luggage or carry on? Carry On

2. How should we package it? Small jar to keep the smell at bay. Not that it's a major concern. Bank bag will do fine too.

3. If we do get stopped by the cops what should we do?  Tell them you have rights. Remind them of the law they should be aware of

4. How much is too much? I wouldn't push with more than 10g's but you should be allowed to travel with more

Shot alot for this article @420SA.

Is it on any official documents? Or government websites?

I don't think there is a need for them to state specifically about flight travel. Unless that has been done already. What's on your private person is exactly that, private. It falls in the same bracket as taking cigarettes or booze on board.

Also, it's just another mode of transport... if you're allowed to get into a taxi with it then why not a plane...

You are allowed to fly with it. It's on your private person and as the law allows you to carry a certain amount with you at any time, for personal use, the same applies to when you are flying domestically. 

I did it not too long ago. I think I had about 10g's in my backpack which went through the scanner at security. No issues. Was quite funny, after landing someone opened up the above head stow away compartment with my backpack in and the area immediately stank up

You may get the odd ignorant security staff member who thinks otherwise but quickly educate them and take the matter further if necessary.

I would definitely keep it in your carry on luggage or in your pocket. If they confiscate for whatever reason when finding it in your checked in luggage, you have no chance of arguing it.

I'm growing baby spinach as well. Also noticed that! Pistils are identical

Have heard of some guys having decent results with this soil but I've always been a skeptic...
