Always referred to decent weed as skunk, its a term generically used for weed that has a skunky smell, jat has not much of a smell, so surprised its termed skunk anywhere. When i used to buy weed on the street, all skunk was reference to better than the usual which has a skunky smell. Maybe times have changed, but I dont think so, and the media refer to skunk as "potent weed". You from Cape Town? No worries, you not dissing the post, you asking questions. I think and also have proved it is a great deal, plus you get a cannabis cup winner fem seed that is not easily available. Take it, leave it, I just want the money to go to a good cause and see someone enjoy the book, possibly one of the most comprehensive books on breeding ever produced.

Oh and the sweetened deal is you get 1 pink kush fem seed, which is almost impossible to get your hands on. Its a cannabis cup winner. Thats the best I can do.

ok dont see it for sale on ebay, Amazon its sold 2nd hand for even less, R250, ex shipping and import duties. I see the seeds for sale on seedsman are R550 for 5. On GSR you are looking at R700 plus for 10 seeds of skunk #1. May I ask why you dont think the seeds are great? They are regular seeds, produced in Spain and some of the greatest breeding strains ever produced. Personally I think its a steal and a lekker package for anyone wanting to start up. Breeders Bible: R250 Afghan: R500 for 10 Skunk: R 590 for 5, you get 10 seeds. So my math was not so bad, they dont come in printed packaging, but one also has to walk with integrity sometime in life.

Hey bud, dont worry about my bubble, its strong bud. Looking into prices now, I did check prices, maybe I was wrong, check the time I posted it. I have donated the money for this parcel to Fields of Green for All, so its really to raise funds. Oh and the deal is sweetened up, 1 pink kush fem has been added already.

Hi If anyone is interested I have a very good 2nd hand paperback of the Cannabis Breeders Bible by Greg Green. The deal also includes 20 regular seeds ( Seedsman ) of afghani indica ( 10 ) and skunk #1 ( 10 ) seeds. Just thought this would be a nice package for anyone wanting to get into breeding. Let me know if you are interested.

Hosted a cup about 2007/08, there was one before that in Natal. I thought our Cannabis Cup was epic and it did not go according to any international standards. We camped at a farm on the Thursday or Frday, about 25 guys, you had to know someone to get in, there were two categories, each entrant had to enter 100 grams. It was the 10 year anniversary of "Woodstock" at Riversands farm and "we" also had a stage there, reggae pumped till the early hours, no arrests, just one big raid happened. The final day Sunday, and cleanup was chilled. I sat with a mate cleaning up our area after woodstock, putting the pieces back, smoking on cheese and pot of gold. Some dude drunk on LSD came waddling up, so sat in the rain and shared a joint with him. Great, hectic time, would not recommend for the faint of heart. Seriously beautiful venue, RiverSands Farm:

Super news. About to plant some of their seeds I collected a couple weeks ago.

"I rate stated THC percentages should be taken at face value anyways. If you grow it nice it will treat you well. " Cannabinoid profiles can change on the same plant depending where the samples are taken from, there is no perfect tests, YET.

Yes it does take sometime, but I just hang the bag up and sway it around every now and again. It does take time. Its important to clean your bags to, those holes can get clogged up quickly.

The wheel always turns. Keep honest, deliver on your word, try your best and life should be easy sailing.

Reading through your post and thinking about it. it makes sense to have an entry fee. You get respect for it, I am talking about the people paying the entries. It can be used for the distribution costs, so you dont have suppliers letting you down. Free does not work, people dont respect free. Throw the entries into a kitty of sort and make the winnings bigger or lets donate that as a community to the Dagga Couple/ Fields of Green for All. Afterall they are the reason why we can grow in the first place. I dont think you should eliminate newbie growers, but of course they need to be active in the community. Just want to say keep it up. I won 3rd prize in a comp on here last year, never expected anything and received my prize very quickly. Great community!!

Excellent information and thank you for sharing. Bottomline is I am going to stick to what I am doing. My plants are only watered from a separate rain water tank, no additives. Used to be very proud of my drinking water, mainly rain water and spring water from a few kms away. Sad reality is today, I said aloud to my partner, my entire water system needs an update. Its 10 years old already, drips, leaks, rusted connectors. Gulp, money money money but going to make something better. Thank you again.

@Bospatrollie2 Nice info. We been using bleach as a way to keep the bacteria in check, would you suggest peroxide rather? Something else that helps us is a settling tank. We pump borehole to the settling resiviour with a small filter ( homemade LECA and charcoal ) about knee deep. I clean out the muck about once a year. It then pumped to main tanks, one is a settling tank again and the other is the main pumping tank. The settling tanks really have helped, helped with the basic filters ( string and charcoal ) coming into the house.

Yip, I would say DP is one of the top 5 strains in the world! There are defiantly local guys breeding DP genetics now that it has become popular, and in demand. I think it is more marketing than anything. Below is a Lesotho landrace strain ( close to the original DP ) that "we" been growing for a couple of seasons. Lovely producer and closest to sativa I have seen. https://twitter.com/softsecrets_usa/status/1257276817947402240

Hey. Thanks for the offer of seeds, and we can definitely talk. Just need to get ducks in a row. @John Stonedwell African strains are very interesting, like their cannabinoid profiles. Wait until the story of Durban comes out, it hopefully inspires and I think there is an interesting way to get the original Durban Poison back to SA. I am busy writing the fairytale about DP, where it started, the journey its taken until now , a couple detours, a few crosses and then it makes it way to maybe the top 5 strains in the world. Its a labour of love and amped that the article has been purchased already.

And what a tribute the show was, tears in my eyes watching that great man. Hotbox is a fantastic team. The show will go on. And to the 420SA community, thank you for the smile. Just keep signing petitions, sharing, speaking, it helps all of us. And like Jules envisioned for cannabis in SA, fields of green for all.

Yip, a labour of love. Been collecting, documenting since before it was cool. Mates still joke about me smoking malawi twak. Some of our landraces are listed on Phylos Galaxy and also being tested in Spain, Lesotho and Israel. Last night was the 2020 HighLife Cup, it was quite cool to be mentioned, and lost in translation with regards to Durban Poison. Durban Poison article coming out soon, 2500 words and counting. Dreaming big, looking forward and planting those seeds.

Swazi was never made into cob. It used to be called Swazi Red ( Rooi ) . About to speak to a chap who collected these famous seeds in the 70's/80s, took them to US of A and Amsterdam, a Mr Mel Frank.

Thought of sharing this beautiful speciman of a plant that was grown by a pro, if I could show you more pictures. A lesotho highlands landrace. Harvested this yesterday and really looking forward to the smoke. Not getting many smells, but sure it will come out in the curing. Not my grow but been following this guy for years.
