I think you are a little wrong. Been observing cannabis for sometime. Cannapax is a good example, whichever way you want to look at the story, similar to Amsterdam weed. I have seen guys today, they are nice, cause they have good social skills and are highly intelligent. Same guys talk kak behind peoples backs, and oh so nice in front. I see them swaying the market towards babylon, wether they know it or not. I hope South Africa is going to be uniquely different, always hoped that. Good to hear it is a chilled vibe here, when I first joined the truth could not be told, and it was not a free board as some suggested. Point being is do what you feel is right, and just go for gold. But watch the snakes in the veld, their bite is rotten. Amsterdam is a good example. Many people shout that the seeds are duds. But if you look in the alleys and corners, you will find good people, selling good genetics. People are strange.

Reading through posts and sharing memories, also having a little bit of nostalgia. But yeah this is a great community of stoners and growers. You are a dick. says to self.

Ahhh swazigh. Good to see you still lurking, post some updates. Lowrider.

Howdy Barbus, sorry about weed.co.za. Horrible story of babylon, but its all smoked now and onto better bigger things. It was a such a lekker community, but must admit this is a killer forum, easy to use. Welcome. I will be hanging around, unless they ban me again!!!

Ah forgot to mention, it was Malberry Haze by something I stupidly started about 8 years ago. Was lank amped to offer people things. Damn if I could show you posts from our cannabis community, both here and FB. Its actually the reason I joined here to respond to people I only helped. Not playing victim, happened again yesterday on FB. Shared a post www.mastergu.co.za and sadly someone I respect, posted immediately, fake, joke etc. They to have not supported mastergu, never grown his stuff. That dude has been growing cannabis for decades and made a strain for his medical conditions. But anyway I agree some of the comments, local is not always lekker. Hence I diverted attention overseas and damn has a new world opened up. Anything is possible guys, do what you need to do, support guys doing things. If you get a bad gut feel walk away. Amped that Jeremy Acton is still growing some of my old crossed seeds. He seems to enjoy them. Hopefully he going to share back to. What a man that is, a true cannabis tarrie smoking warrior.

Totally true. I hit a dingy pub late a couple weeks ago, a couple canes down and a few joints. Strange dreadlock man sitting in the corner with a glint in his eye. He went outside to roll one and gave me and my mate an invite. Went outside, started chatting, puffed his joint and knew where he got it from. Wink wink. Bush telegraph works in strange ways. Awesome content @Dank. Give me a shout in a couple weeks. I will give you some Fire OG direct from Reeferman when it arrives to help your efforts.

Very kind of you and the same sentiments straight back at you. Thank you for the invite, joined and reading. Love little grassroots initiatives. Cheers again.

I am totally chilled. Would be great. Will trade something nice.

@Mambawana Not yet. Most of the seedbanks offering his seeds are frauds at the moment. For instance if you look at seedsman, majority of stock are not in stock. But they will be available this year.

Many thanks for your positive vibrations. As the clock struck 12, the deal was concluded. Just going to be finalised with another partner, but already been retained by reeferman. My mind is blown man, simply put I am a consultant/freelancer for Reeferman, documenting his life and cannabis cup wins for his old brand. The original, not the copycat, the real deal. I loooooooove original people. This season. Not too much. If you check out my IG #cannabispromoter account its all plastered there. Mainly GSR genetics, sour gelato, black poison and a couple other durban varieties through other sources. Working on an african genetics project with a couple lads, here, there and everywhere. Hitting the hay, with a smile on my face.

To my friends, family, haters, please hold thumbs for me. Just submitted my proposal for one of the worlds most well known breeders. Hopefully he is an agreement and 2020 will be a bumper year whatever comes my way.

And to you to. Sloppy on all parts, but still kiff stores that some seem to slander. Sunny South Africa for shady people. Put it this way if I wanted to get involved in a franchise effort with GMP, GMO's, ANC's, agreements for a mere 25k, I would fnnn read them. If it sounds too good to be true, it usuallly............. Have a happy one.

I would love to get my hands on the franchise document. Check my point about legal assistance. I hear he scammed, robbed people. But how was this done? If someone phoned me about a 1000000 dollar transaction and needed my banking details, I would seriously think twice, maybe the greed was on the other foot? He supported many shops that were raided, and they got up and running again in no time.

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions " I cant disagree and in hell I will be good company! If we all waited, where would we be. Everything we are doing is technically illegal, people are being arrested for 1 gram of zol ( that happened 2 days ago ) . Admission of guilt R200. There are stores selling cannabis all over, maybe CBD, but its cannabis. Its BS. I can tell you from what I have seen in only a few years, alot of us are doing what is wrong. Take it or leave, Cannapax had balls, it was brilliant, it is gone. We lost and I hope Russell is not this criminal he is mad out to be publically that many in the cannabis community have said. Peace, happy 2020.

Looking for a cutting of salvia and thought this would be a good place to ask. I sadly lost my motherplant after 18 years of growth and would love to get a cutting from somewhere. Anyone?

Sorry forgot to mention www.growlikejoe.com, he is not the breeder but works with some great old school genetics. Worth their weight in gold. My best strains I have grown: Nigerian 99 and Senegalese Haze from old afropips ( no longer, but growlikejoe still has genetics ) Malawi Kush - from growlikejoe, ( my plant in the pic ) Pure Kush - GHS Pink Kush from Reeferman Sour Gelato from Greensmokeroom ..... and the list can go on.

My best local breeder is Jay from Amadeadly Seeds. His genetics are worth collecting, he has a facebook page only. Easy to find, also I think he has amalgamated with another bank. I am sure they are great, he does not pussy foot around. International commercial breeder I would suggest the following seeds: Sannies Seeds - https://www.sanniesshop.com Reeferman ( be careful lots of fakes ) - currently only sold in Canada, but will be sold worldwide soon. Sensi Seeds - buy through seedsman or direct from their site. Not to sure if they ship to SA. Good luck and lets keep this list going.

With alot of difficulty. Wrapped cardboard around them, sealed with masking tape and covered with a Sharks flag. They were little pap when I got them there as they had also been repotted into display post. When I left, I put them straight on the back of my bakkie, openview and drove past 6 police officers who laughed and pointed. Dont forget car is your private space. Stopped at my local for a beer to celebrate with the plants on the back.

"Made my peace with how things work. " You are growing bud. Mother nature is a bitch. Now wait until you realise YOU are now mother nature with all your boxes ticked. I guarantee you will be changing your tune soon. Wishing you the best and hope you grow some dank weed. Just keep going, you will find the right recipe.

So here is some local culture, reggae. Known Bushy for years, he is a brother. We made this video together, his first music video. It was a great pleasure and wonderful experience. Hope you enjoy the music. Below is another video from his new group Soldiers in Jah Army who I recently promoted in EC. Had an awesome time, lots of weed.

Was listening to this last night. Loved the style.

@Van Wijk Welcome, I remember you from weed.co.za forums. So many old members, glad to see a growing community. Ah BTL, a forum that wanted us shutdown. Sad to see them go. It was a great site for content.

I am sorry to say most of you have got the wrong end of the joint with Cannapax. Firstly, I have no relation to them whatsoever. Russell offered me a job to write, which I declined. I have followed the story very closely and mostly upset with the "cannabis community" wishing him jail time. One guy rated 20 years would be good!!! I believe he stole money from people. If that comes out in court , its wrong and he should be jailed. However, i think the "stealing" part comes from the franchise fees and not getting legal assistance. 1. R25k to buy a franchise. Cheapest deal in South Africa by about R225000. 2. R25k and you get legal assistance. You obviously never used a lawyer, some charge that for a couple hours. 3. I think the majority franchise owners thought it was a quick way to make a buck or two. A retail store selling cannabis on a high street could make that back in a day. Anyone heard of a due diligence? 4. Traditional healer license. We need guys like this cause they are pushing the boundaries. 5. Guys complaining about quality: Remember the guys on those dark streets selling you seeded chronic, northern lights and white widow. You get my point. Most important point: Damn awesome that a guy had the balls to open up the shops, 40 or more. You can walk into a place , safe, clean and buy if you want to. PS the traditional healers are supporting them, they were outside demonstrating for his bail. I wish traditional healers would just overgrow and start selling weed, nothing, no one could stop that. Wrap up: Very sad to see all the slanderish childish comments posted about Russell and Cannapax mainly due to jealousy and ego. I know how he felt when I started Nguni ( main reason it was closed ) just not worth the effort. @CreX"Down with cannapax!! " Embarrassing man. I know where its coming from. But there are other stories. "Once laws are passed and they fall out of the Grey area.." How long to you reckon we have to wait, wait until government fixes roads, water, SAPS, SANDF, SABC....... Love the passion and pushing of what Cannapax did. And someone, I am sure you know, ironically did almost the same thing cannapax was doing and wished them jail time. That is what is so sad about this industry. Guys ripping others down. Franco said it best once, we all fighting for the same cause. The guy took a gap, he went for it. 2 years ago we were all illegal, growing smoking. If not for people like him and many others we would all be illegal. Push forward, open your mind.

@Za Weed Lover I am sorry to hear your issues. I have used GSR since they were taken over by new owners a few years ago. All I can say is unreal genetics. i have since also started working as a freelancer with them, doing some content. But besides that I have also promoted their genetics far and wide. Their after sales service has been exceptional to clients I have referred to them, and they have also been very happy. Infact, no bias at all cause I dont particularly like indoor, I smoked some of their sour Gelato hydroponically grown and can say it was one of the best smokes I have had in my life. i have not tried Biltong and Buds, but what I have seen and heard they are great. Suggestion: contact them, give them a report back. Put your growing mediums down, how you germinated etcccc. All these companies need people like us to give them good feedback so they can grow themselves. It all helps at the end of the day. A mate stuffed the germination process up, contacted them, and bang , new seeds arrived. GSR are a top company and definitely growing places. have to look at your growing environment. Also remember its been a kak weather year. Where I am plants are dying due to hot dry air, drought, animals are eating them cause they have nothing else to eat. Then the bloody rain comes and washes what is left away. So keep persevering and you will come right. @PsyCLown "Although it does not sound like an issue which BnB would be responsible for as they are basically just re-sellers. " Majority of banks/breeders worldwide are just resellers. There are a very limited amount of quality breeders with good genetics. Take Barneys Farm for instance. They won HT cups, and it was seeds from another breeder in truth.

Heads up. Looks like we ( cannabis community ) will have the first legit cannabis cup, right here in South Africa. The 113th annual agricultural show hosted in Bathurst ( 2,3,4 April ) is more than likely going to have a cannabis category this year. They are definately allowing cannabis companies to attend and promote their goods. More info to follow. This was the past event, I felt guilty as my only competition was other exotic fruits and culinary herbs. So to you growers who would like to enter, please start growing or choose a plant you would like to enter. I hope its going to be a success like last years. After this years event I might have to move to another country. I will post updates here. All will be finalised by the 15th Jan 2020. Any local cannabis companies wishing to attend, please pm me and I will gladly tell you more info or book your place.
