Seedsman, African Buzz, 100% Landrace Sativa

Nice work dude, she's getting big!!

you ARE gonna be happy

I ran out of room and had to trim her back. I'm guessing that this will effect yield a bit but I didn't have any other options. I had another African Buzz follow this one into flower where I did a second topping of the two larger mains and it looked like that was going to be perfect with eight colas but it was male.



Close up of the trim. I had to cut back three of the four main colas and she's responded pretty well, pushing up three decent buds on each of those trimmed mains.

I have started the last five seeds from this order. I will be topping twice for 6-8 main colas.

Thank you for this thread. I was just looking at this strain online

You're welcome. It looks like this is going to be an excellent grow. She still has a drool inducing fruit gum smell. It is too bad I ran out of room. There would have been two more large buds on the tallest two stems.

74 days Over the last two days she has visibly changed color to the naked eye so today I grabbed the microscope for a close-up. As I was getting down close I found quite a few hermies so without any further examinations I cut her down. In spite of the hermies I feel pretty good about the cut time, she looked ready.

Dried and trimmed.

Aroma: Very happy, she has kept the Fruit Stripe gum smell which dominates with banana and avocado. Undertones of sativa sweat and herbs. Grassy but in a good way like a fruity-grassy Olive Oil. A little over-dried but this should go away in the jar.

High: This bud is no joke! I haven't vaped yet but I consumed trim tray kief and finger goo. This was on an empty stomach at about 12:00 am, after being awake for 18 hours.

Ten minutes: I could tell I needed to get to bed with the quickness. Twenty minutes: Getting ready for bed, twice in a five minute span I blanked out for a moment and slightly staggered backwards and had to quickly catch myself . Thirty minutes: While laying in bed reading and relaxing... my painful joints in the ankles, knees, and hips were numbed and it felt like I was Dana from Ghost-busters. Forty minutes or so: Lights out, aural and visual changes. Swirling colors with eyes closed. I use a white-noise app and the sound had a swirling, compressed quality.

I will have to be careful and plan accordingly when it is cured and ready for the vape.

I messed up... I'm also growing Ganesh and didn't mark the two strains for easy identification. I thought that they are so different that I could easily differentiate. Below is one African but I may have two more, not sure yet. I will definitely know once these are further into flower because the African is very distinct but for now here is one female at 12 days flower.
