Sous vide all day. Great for decarboxylating as well!

No apologies needed, good conversation and happy to find others interested in the topic. I am new here and I just wanted to make sure I don’t clutter up a thread, and cannabis fermentation is something I could talk about all day. My hypothesis is compatible bacterial and fungal enzymes are making changes to the cannabinoids/terpenes, combined with the fermentation conditions (acids / pH, alcohols, reactive terpenes(solvents), water levels, oxygen levels, temperature, UV light) present in the fermentation environment also making changes to cannabinoid/terpenes.
As cool as it would be for cannabinoid producing yeasts to live on cannabis buds, it is most likely not what’s happening here. Yeast populations are unlikely to develop the ability to synthesize cannabinoids through spontaneous mutation or horizontal gene transfer in a natural environment, which is why CRISPR is used to make yeast strains that can be cloned and used for industrial production of different compounds.
EDIT: here’s the thread, did not populate with links but I wanted to get it started:

Only been drying a few days but seeds were dropping out all over floor so just went ahead and gently tapped each branch on side of crate till the majority were out.Worked a charm.
Nice and frosty
Still very fresh but smells still sour fruity//floral
Going to try cobbing half and will keep the other half to cure a few months.
My other two plants seem to also be nicely seeded from the pollen I applied but the one seems like it may be putting out some male flowers -Im unsure if its just the change in light hours after the solstice or possibly from a light feeding I gave them.
Could also just be the genetics.

The evidence is that malawi gold miners were going down to south africa and working the mines from nineteen forty to nineteen eighty. Would you bring your favorite weed with you? I would
It’s pretty well known that swazi gold is a mix of swazI and Malawi. That’s where the “gold” moniker came from. South africa didn’t have any strains known as gold

Looks beautiful! Hope it smokes well for you!

we should make a World Map one day, where we insert the most authentic pictures from strains found at each region. And then make diferent layers beneath the Pictures,
- a Elevation layer ,
- a night Temp./day Temp. Layer
- a “suspected international Trades” Layer (past 50 / 100 / 200 years…)
and so forth.
So, and then we check…
It would be dooable in a simple Paint programm, just need to make a supersized Size, so we can insert all pics…
It would be cool to demonstrate the newbies what were talking about.

I just pollinated some of the lower branches of my Beldia Kif female with the first bit of pollen from the Ethiopian Highlands male posted upthread. I had moved the male from where he was starting to flower under an 11-13 light cycle indoors into the fabric living soil bed and did some pruning so there was one main flowering stalk that the plant was devoting it energy towards. It also made the pollen easier to monitor. Going to let the male flower for a little while longer before revegging. So far so good 
I’m hoping for a few hundred seeds, enough for a 50 plant phenotype selection run next year, and to give some away to those who want them for next summer. Will post some pictures here when seeds start forming.

I love this idea as well. It could even be a “Wiki” type of thing or maybe a board of reviewers that would approve any new addition to the information.
That’s really a super big idea. Can you imagine opening a “Google Earth” type of app with clickable info for all pertinent areas? That would rock!

I’m from Kenya and border South Sudan from the south. South Sudan, unfortunately don’t have any landrace strains due to their unfavorable desert climate and frequent internal wars, to the extent that they import all their food. My friends who come from the country tell me that they buy their weed from Ethiopia or Uganda

@US3RNAM3 I’m from Kenya and I’ve smoked landrace strains found in East Africa - Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. Let me share a few pics and info on the landrace sativa strains found in East Africa.
Ethiopian Shashamane
This landrace strain is grown near central Ethiopia. Some people believe that it might be Lamb’s Bread strain from Jamaica because Emperor Haile Selassie provided free and fertile land to the Jamaicans who relocated to Ethiopia from 1955-1960.
The buds produce a taste that’s citrus, spicy, and some phenotypes smell like a spicy mango. It ranks on the same THC level as Malawi Gold.
Kisumu Sativa
Kisumu landrace derives its name, “Kisumu” from the city where its cultivated. Despite it’s high THC content and intense cerebral high, traditional healers use it to treat Asthma, Measles, and Malaria.
You’ll experience a combination of flavors that are earthy, woody and cypress. In case you want to read about how Kisumu sativa is used for treatment, here’s a thread explaining the details… Medical Use of Cannabis In East Africa
Moshi Sativa
Moshi sativa is a landrace strain that grows in northern Tanzania around Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s popular in East Africa thanks to it’s long-lasting highness that’s both cerebral and physical. In addition, it has a high success rate when grown in foreign environments outside of Africa.

Could just use Google Earth and just make a kml for it, probably the easiest way?

Great idea buddy. Would be a great reference for everyone. How do we start?

Do you think Moshi is what Westerners have called Kilamanjaro? This is the main sativa cultivated on the Mt slopes, correct? Ever hear the term “elephant flattener” before?
