They are very legit. Great people behind the testing, who really know their stuff. Its a mom and pop business, and very professional.

Sorry to burst any bubbles, but the original skunk does exist. If you are interested I would start with agseedco's skunk, direct from Mel Frank collection. You can also look at Aficionado French Connection who published a post of an IBL '74 Skunk. I think AFC probably got their skunk from Todd McCormick ( AGSEEDCO ), its totally legit and he ships to SA.

I would go for it, pure DP should grow enormous, well the varieties I have grown always needed more space. You will also need to hold the plants cola's up during flowering, loads of them split in the wind and rain, so just something to take into consideration. Must admit the black poison I grew did not grow up, but sideways and stayed fairly small, but I was bending her down to prevent splitting. GSR strains are legit, they are working damn hard on their fine genetics. Look forward to seeing your grow. I will find the journal and post shortly.

Thought this picture had a cool story. Picked up Mr Acton on the way to the Cannabis expo last weekend, he had already rolled a tarrie joint, check that bend. We went straight to aaptwaks table to learn some skills. So we have Mr 8 joints a day on national news, mixing with 3.2 seconds joint roller. How is this for a mad match. Before Learning to roll After

I grew a tonne of DP hybrids from GSR seeds the year before last, nice line up of seeds you have, you going to do a grow journal? I was very happy with the plants and harvest. I am trying to find my grow diary on here. What is it that you would like to know?

Farck, what a roller coaster ride the past 2 weeksish. The finale was meeting member from here, @The_StonedTrooperat the Potterys social club in PE. Awesome day and a super meet and greet. Cheers to our cannabis culture.

@The Grass Baas, I dont think they are scared, they are on point and ready to take the market come hell or high water. Big pharma been growing zol in the UK for 15 years already, making sativaX. Read up on GW Pharmaceuticals, hidden facility somewhere in UK. Meanwhile parents are being arressted coming into UK travelling with a few grams of RSO from Canada. Stories easy to find. If you want to go down the rabbit whole, read deep into GW, its scary what they are capable of and what they are doing. I think if you look at "big business", they are all involved in some way already and possibly for a long a time. I have posted it somewhere here and it was part of evidence from the Dagga Couples Trial of the Plant, but cannabis was clearly a threat western culture and made "natives lazy". South Africa started the trouble and it was more to do with racist policies rather than the plant or business, but I rate cotton and the textile industry was under threat:

I been told twice in 2 days I drink too much coffee, and its shrinking my brain. Idiots. Is this your business @Stinger96, I remember you as a user on weed.co.za, awesome that you still involved in cannabis and especially coffee ( Smile on my face as I sip THC coffee and type.) . Wishing you the best for Saturday, I am sure it will be a huge success.

Glad to you let you know the postponed event is happening again. Jeremy sent me the invite this morning and arrived safely back from Plett last night. Sounds rad, rosin pressing on site, talk by Jeremy and dagga municipalites/know your rights, food and snacks available. Wish I could get there, but another event starts tomorrow in PE. The Pottery celebrating their 1st birthday in PE. @420atinterlude will be hosting Jeremy Acton this weekend Saturday 14th August from 2pm, music, snacks and rosin pressing.. Going to be a blast. interlude Hydroponic Centre, Bottelary Road.

Funny enough I was at a zimbabwean tobacco dealer yesterday afternoon talking about of all things,,,,, animals. Borrowed a cool book though, The gentle Art of Smoking by Alfred Dunhill. Its a super read, history of pipes, cigarettes, snuff and culture. Wish cannabis was in the book, however I can imagine the reasons it was not. You must not forget big babylon business is not stupid, they have been involved in the cannabis industry before it was legal, I think most tobacco houses have patents already in the cannabis sphere. Lets say we all believe big business has been behind the "war on drugs", I think a good question to ask would be why are we seeing a vaping ban worldwide, USA, South America, Europe and SA to follow in about 5 years?

What an epic weekend, meeting old and new cannabis activists and sharing cannabis culture together. Hard to express the feelings experienced and to be honest it was a very smokey hazey weekend from sunrise to the early hours of the morning. There were about 10 prizes for the growers cup entries, and the overall winner was such a gentleman on top of his craft. Turns out it was a team of two, judges only found out names a couple hours before the announcing of the winners. About 28 strains in total to go through. The winner, Cannaporium from Knysna, took the overall cup with their indoor hydro mandarin cookies. Deon below came to enjoy the festivities the day after the win and we partied and managed to get some pictures with him and his cup. Aaptwak, speed roller 3.2 seconds, had an exciting rolling competition on the final day. I entered my first rolling comp and shaved off 4 seconds off my time. I was hoping to break 10 seconds and did my best kingsize roll at 7.6 seconds, coming in second. RastaOne from Knysna took the belt and title for a 6.5 second roll and his brother came in 3rd. Looking forward to next years event, bigger and better. The old oppikoppis were madness, I barely remember my one attendance. Any of you guys ever go to the Woodstock festival in JHB, they stopped about 14 years ago. The last one was insane in the membrane, police, busts, weed, reggae, hemp and the very stealth cannabis cup on another farm. Mad times, sitting in the rain chatting with a dude coming down from LSD, packing up tents.

A small set back for the organiser/s of the Garden Route Cannabis Festival. All the damn sample packages for the judges were confiscated and Leon Meyer was put into holding cells for 2 nights before he was released. The show will go on. Probably leaving tomorrow for a slow toke down stream to the Canna Cup, so catch you guys next week. Stay safe. he

Good old Jo. I wonder what he is up to. I believe bongalong has new owners? Sorry for opening up an old topic, but how is this for luck. Saw some smoke coming from a neighbours abandoned house, went to go investigate, not to sure who started the blaze, but threw some sand over it and was looking at all the trash that the mad mutt left lying around and guess what i found. A bongalong v1 in great condition. Thank you very much.

Howdy guys, so with lockdown relaxed and public events allowed to happen, any of you planning on coming to the Garden Route Cannabis Festival next weekend? Full line up of events below and buy tickets online here.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. If you think the state is using delay tactics, you have never lived in South Africa, just kidding, but does make you think. Keep it up Haze Club. Raspect.

@Naughty.Psychonautfor president, you have a good plan sir. A friend was in the Congo a couple years ago on a government level to invest in growing cannabis, during a meeting all hell broke loose as the son of the president had absconded with millions of dollars in cash. On a plus side I see a post on facebook with a load of hemp farms being cultivated around our country this coming season. You reckon this guy says it how african leadership is:

This is a very interesting recently published article below, with links to scientific reviews. From a layman, farmer, promoter, I think I have struck gold with Durban Poison. Whoever I sent beans to recently via 420sa, you sitting with gold to and hope they grow. Kicks heels. " The origin of cultivated or domesticated cannabis can be traced to East Asia, including parts of modern-day China. The finding challenges previous research stating that cultivated cannabis originated in Central Asia. " "In addition, McKernan et al. found that reads from these genes and pseudogene copies may be mismapped if many pseudogene copies of THCAS and CBDAS were not assembled in a reference genome because the DNA sequences for most of these copies are more than 90% similar with each other. "

I think the one limiting factor for Zimbabwe's jump into the cannabis industry is "investor confidence". Within this century Zimbabwe broke international laws when expropriating farming land and businesses, regardless of the tribal politrix and failed state, these countries investing I am sure are holding back. I am friends with a number of ex zim farmers, who are farming here, and they wont be going back anytime soon, and sadly they all saw South Africa is like a deja vu of Zimbabwe. We are always about 10 years behind the States, and yes when they change something, the whole world adjusts. A good example of mountain outlaw growers would be the Humboldt county, the black market cannot keep up with illegal sales of cannabis and I think SADC is in the same position. Even the legally licensed guys with research permits are taking camping gear, lots of "cooking oil" into Lesotho to bring their product into the legal market because they cant legally sell here.

Think its a great idea. Was looking at the Xiaomi ( Loot sent a mail about stocking them) products yesterday for home automation, I look at automation crap quiet often when I have smoked too much, dream, plan etc, never really bought into yet, but its coming. They seem affordable, wide range of local products available and lots that have not been shipped here. I am personally looking at it for a better security system, with a little household automation. They also cross-compatible with other hardware and have stuffs that I dont understand as yet. Funny enough this week an old contact is also taking me through their proprietary seed to sale software, www.growtrack.io ,which has already made a name for itself in Lesotho to help automate the cultivation process.

Smoking in the future. Some dried and cured somango.

Amazing pictures of nice bud shots @Green Leaf Organics, more importantly how did they smoke?

Yes, less room for error with soilless, thats why it can be dangerous.

So our tunnel is up and hundreds of cabbages are planted. Thinking of planting some seeds in the next week or so, but already messing around with some recently harvested chillies.
