Wow, that is early. Yeah I agree it seems like she's just selling off stock that was made years ago and not restocking anything. Sad because from what I've seen from OGS she was doing the kind of stuff that I'm looking for.

I have 33 of her strains and I have already had trouble getting seeds to sprout. The last one I tried was Double Diesel, which I had grown once before, and it was awesome! She definitely has/had some cool old genetics. Her Oaxacan Iranian was also really nice and finished in mid September.

Excellent strain, huge plant grew like a willow. Up creative high, Lemony flavor with pepper, slight cedar in the background, a little like Casey Jones and a little like the best Mexican that we used to get back in the day. I hope OGS gets inspired to make some more seeds because I really like this strain, in the mean time I made some seeds.
That's the last one for me this year, happy outdoor season everyone!!

Glad you made seeds! She has/had some killer genetics over the years, sure glad I made seeds of Maxwell's Silver Hammer, don't have the resources to save them all!

How tall do they get before they start to flower?

Max 7ft / 8ft (Just about the top of wooden supports) We have wind here so all the girls have been topped, and some will be topped 3 times or more before flower and most of their inner small branches and leaves have been removed for aerodynamic purposes. I grow mainly Sativas, luckily they love the African climate.

Kool

I grow next to a grove of bamboo that cuts my wind and keeps a % of humidity in the air.
There is something to be said for short plants checking the buds on a 14 footer on a slope is a major challenge.

thanks

I try shape my cannabis like a baobab tree, rather than a christmas tree. In the pic above you can see how the plants already have a semi dome shape to their canopy.

Tracker......No official names, they are just seeds I have collected over about 40 years from Swaziland, Congo and locally Transkei and Durban, they are all full sativa's or at least heavily sativa dominant. Let's call them the 8 Sativa Surprises. I live on the Southern tip of Africa, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean we have serious winds here so I defoliate heavily. You wouldn't say so looking at those plants but that smoker at the end of the garden in the pic is full of leaves, tops and anything spindly on the inside. My experience relating to my "African" garden is Indica's don't do well, the pests like them a lot more than they like my Sativa's and they are more prone to bud rot, the wind also has a field day with those large fan leaves.......aaagggh stoned rambling.

My only task now is to get them through the summer wind and then to the Finnish line.

Is that just beyond the Swedish line?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Nice looking plants. Never been to Africa but it's high on my list of places to go--pretty sure I'd be smitten.

You get much heat there in the summer?

I wonder if over the years your genetics have adapted to your soil/climate. I'm currently experimenting with that here in New England, but have only been breeding for 2 years.

haha, finish......got it, yes we have really hot and can be windy summers here. I try grow plants that can handle the wind and heat in summer and wind and every season in autumn. We have a micro Mediterranean climate here on the Southern tip of Africa. I pop about 30 lucky dip seeds every year, cull all the males and out of maybe 15 to 20 females I choose 10 then at start of veg I cull another 2 plants and I run with max allowable 8 plants that I think look like the could handle my grow conditions. Its all a guessing game but I have had some wonderful plants in the past.
