Not to sure how you set it up, but the API might be less resource intensive than using an iframe? Plus also the iframe would be pulling data from overseas servers. The pdf is perfect, exactly what I was talking about. Awesome work, now just to make it work for you. One of my best experiences, assisted Franco with his venture into SA/Swaziland, and afterwards he sent me 5 kilos of GHS stuff. Something I did not expect. What an amazing man, RIP. This has been happening since the 90's, but there still are landraces, its the reason why I say Durban is rated as the top 10% rarest genetics in the world, and still considered a dominant landrace. Its documented and catalogued. I dont think there are good enough reasons to dislike GHS, yes they did take landrace strains, swopped them with european genetics with farmers willingly. But the work they have done for cannabis?

I think it has gone way past users grow journals, but like I said before they are important. You have sites like https://en.seedfinder.eu/ and phylos.bio. They have good references to seeds, names, breeders, lineage etc. Including South African breeders, both here and abroad. What I would really like to see on seed sale sites is a rough cannabinoid profile of what to expect. One of the reasons is I am looking for high myrcene and THC seeds at the moment, and other reasons is the technology is available for it to be tested, so it can be made available.

I think you missed the point. They breed and sell internationally, so what you saying. Dont worry. You probably dont get out much. Do you know what it takes to show face, attend meetings, setup stands, speak to people, sell your product.

I think there is already an established local craft cannabis industry here in South Africa, for sometime too. Since Cannabist is a local seedbank I think you should invest heavily in local genetics, breeders. We have guys like @Totemic and AmaDeadlly who have already established reputations who probably would like an extra sales funnel. Offering these craft local seeds would only be a win win for everyone. Loco is lekker. If the price is right - Price can vary for rarity, demand or the reputation of the seed always. Only if bud tested - You should know what you are growing. Only if breeder has a grow log - goes without saying or grow journals like here. No, don't think SA is there yet - We already there. Breeder has a good reputation - reputation is everything, quality product, good service. I have to disagree, they most likely spend more on development of their product with operations here and overseas. They sell overseas breeders sealed packs, so they are international strains. For a bit of history and current affairs, I ended up going on Nigerian News Central about an hour ago trying to speak/waffle about Cannabis. WTF,,,,,, While doing some homework I looked at the Nigerian 99 i grew from Afropips in 2005, wish these seeds were still available here. Afroman, Maljim, Malawi Jim had hybrids of Malawi ,Durban, Congo, Swazi.... you name it. I remember him coming in a top place at HighTimes Cannabis Cup, in 2004 I think. Just a simple man born in the 60's in Durban who ended up making a name for himself in the Uk, USA, Canada. I support local and would love to see another breeder/bank offering solid local african genetics, that compete locally and internationally.

I am making my purchase tonight, I have followed her work for years and know its going to be a hell of a read and learning curve. What i love is she lives, breathes cannabis, and put it in words for us to understand more about the queen of the jungle. Its not just someone hopping on the bandwagon. I know I am go read it under my plants, outdoors, in the sun, STONED.

Great to know the author of a newly published book has finally completed her works. Sista Vee Nohombile as a herbalist has worked with the medical aspects of cannabis sativa for several decades. The book is for sale in good stores or can be directly ordered from her FB page, THC Plant. "Cannabis is the Human Companion Plant was born out of the urgent need to publish an introductory guide-line as to how the recently discovered human Endocannabinoid System (EC system, ECS) works, and the truth about the importance of the Cannabis plant to our health. As the writer it is important for me to present this vital information in such a way that even ordinary, non-medical people will be able to read with relative ease, even if they have never heard about Cannabis before. There is no doubt that people need scientific proof, and everyone should absolutely always insist on scientific evidence. The challenge has always been to search for literature and scientific proof about the healing properties of the Cannabis plant, and then to correlate authentic scientific evidence with ancient knowledge carried down by generations of herbalists and traditional healers."

Not as high as our salami and pork chops. We sell salami. R120 p/k, available right now. Tell me about it. During our first loadshedding this afternoon, took a gap and went fishing with the doos dogs. So the bully has not been on a trip for awhile and was lank keen. 10km down a dirt road, no one around, tranquil, peaceful. Straight away dumb and dumber are in the water doing laps while I am sorting my rod. Throw my first cast away from the egg heads, bully reckons its a game of fetch . He got caught in my line twice, scared the millions of fish away, wet my lighter, and eventually gave him the rest of the bait. Had a fun day in the sun, basically sun tanning and then the one boy fell out the bakkie on the way. Legend afternoon!!!

First time you purchased from Cannabist @Ill_Evan

Well done @Cannabist . Welcome back and wishing you the best for 2021. I will get in contact with you in the morning.

Looks like this is happening in March? Have not had a reply yet, would like to enter and attend if possible.

Looking delicious. You get any gooseberries? I have had hundreds, but all the animals get to them first. I have not eaten one this season.

Washed my buds last season due to being close to sandy piggery and you could see the dirt. It was a serious mission but you would be surprised at all the stuff that comes off the bud. The difference in before and after was huge. I cant for certain say the smoke was better, but I did know I smoked alot less junk. As per above, try and do it when its hot and sunny rather than cold and wet. Mold is horrible.

And bang, the final product, was hoping for better pictures and colors, but this was the result. Delicious. Also made a logo today for my bottles of liquor.

Hi @Feedaseed Congrats on your new journey and stepping out your comfort zone, site is looking great. If you looking for a leg up in the US market I can possibly assist as that is what I do for clients in SA, USA and Canada. Happy to chat, send a DM.

I lived there for several months to, loved it, the people, country, the food, the freedom. In 1996 I could walk into certain shops and buy weed, bongs, pipes, papers. We were also able to grow weed where I was based ( Ticino ) working as a gardener. The time of my life.

I am going to start growing tonnes of chillies in the new year. Pretty, tasty, grow easy and can be used for many things. Actually cant wait to grow chillies, lots of chillies, potent, colourful and delicious. Also look at the weeds in your garden, kakibos is a good plant to keep aphids/fleas away.

Sorry about your loss of many things, most importantly your privacy. Crime and corruption will be the death of South Africa. I dont think the ANC should be given the power of the death penalty. Safest street in my area is the the local drug dealers den, he rents from a local cop. We dont call cops anymore. I have had to use some brain power to work out our security issues, and touch wood we are safe for now. The most important thing I have done is to be more vigilant. We have kilometres of fencing to monitor and I have got so intune with it, I can tell the different styles of fence cuts. We have two problems, poachers and house breakers. My first line of defense is the fences, as soon as they are tampered with I know to pick up patrols, especially over school holidays, month end, full moon and windy/rainy days. These are most of the times they tend to raid. I have confronted them a number of times, caught them twice,been to their houses, spoken with thier bosses. . The last time I called the police they charged me with assault and kidnapping of a thief !!!!! Point of my waffle above is you have to be responsible for your own security, you cant rely on alarm systems or even security companies. We have setup many processes to initially protect ourselves now, early warning systems and not to proud, but we barely lock our doors at night. As a foreigner, you should still be able to get a license. There is a good gunshop just off Louis Botha that does it all for you. I do believe they are taking much longer to process applications, was quoted 6k for a handgun with certificate and have to wait about 6 months for a license. Gun owners are also complaining that they have to send their guns in for balistics for renewals now. Ironic that Switzerland is the most armed nation in the world with the least amount of crime.

The final part of my craft weekend was to make some temple balls made yesterday after drying the grated frozen bubble hash. Got far less than I was hoping for, but happy with the outcome, RESIN. A quick roadtrip up to Natal next week and then back to bottle some black ale. Happy smoking folks.

Ah sorry, I do need to go slower in life and read the fine print. Nice post and info @Prom

Had a wild weekend that started on Friday. Absolute havoc, chaos and mayhem with good people/animals. Ended up losing R100 bet on the sharks and lions match, bought a 3Kva lister engine and generator, and the bad news found out on saturday morning my foot is broken in two places and ankle is sprained. It started with a silly bike accident about 4 years ago. Anyway the good news is had a seriously crafty weekend, made just under 100 grams bubble hash on saturday, and just under two litres of 60% lekka liqqa on sunday. My fullmelt from 35 and 70 micron bags. Seriously impressed with the beetroot and cinnamon mash that I used. It tastes earthy ( beetroot) and sweet ( cinnamon ), came out clear, instead of a pinkish tinge I was hoping for . Below is our setup from yesterday at the local watering hole. My competitors ( copper pot to the right ) did not hold back on any of the bells and whistles. They were hitting about 75% proof, puts hairs on your chest.

This is gold @Batista , really keen to try this method you have shared. Looks fairly straightforward once you have the tools. Never realised CO2 was so easy to get, been trying to source it locally for 6 months. Anyway a little over my budget to buy ice so going to stick with the rain water bubble hash for now.

Not worth it. I have tried but gave up after making a couple grams. My fake charas is now usually collected from the trimming scissors and hands after season.

I have bought from https://marijuanasa.co.za Good service, quality beans received. But not bought from Marijuana Seeds SA.

Likewise, when farmers used to sometimes see me run they would say I am obviously not working hard enough. Manual labour on a farm is hard work, I call it FarmFitx. Racking is stretching, carrying water buckets is shoulders, turning compost is waist, upper arms etc.....

"LOL! i don't want to jack this welcome thread. " You not being serious, a little bit of light humour, new topic? Yes,agreed. Had some absolute polar results with edibles. My most unique experience was losing co-ordination of my legs only during the day. No high,no buzz. Face planting a keyboard for 10 hours and waking up on the floor after some malawi cookies. What gives!!! Waste of time fullstop, high or not. Great day when I walked in as a teen to cancel my contract at the gym.
