Wow, 15 varieties of african landraces! I only wish I had those to play with. My gut tells me that the African landraces are where there is magic to be found, They say that the landraces originated in asia but I wonder if it is not Africa that was the origin?

I am sure as well that there is quite a bit of magic. There is also the chance your going to create some strains with not so terrific results as you get a lot with the inbred landraces.
I typically stay out of the chat about the landraces. I grow out whatever it is and if I like it and think it can add something special to one of my collected plants I’ll play with it.
I’m sure there are landraces in both Africa and Asia. Bodhi and I spoke right after he returned from his trips to Asia, and I know he wasn’t able to find as much as he wanted, but I know he had fun. He would be my go to if I had questions in that direction TBH.
Had 5 of my Durban F7’s all come up from last Fridays seed popping, and Ive got a few Malawi going as well from the week before. I’m also playing with Snow Moon if anyone has run that before I’d love to hear about it.

Yes I know that working with landraces is not all fun and can require a lot of time and patience compared to working with poly hybrids that have already been worked by others to remove the non desirable traits and improved the line already for the next guy to work with makes things easier to work with…

Interesting bit on lore of cannabis and africa:
This is just a really curious excerpt taken from Jason Kings “The Cannabible III”
Are You Sirius?
Take a look at the word cannabis. Ever wonder what it means? Cannabis is a Greek word, though its root is African. In Greek, canna means ‘canine’ or ‘dog’ and bis or bi is the number two. So cannabis is the ‘two dog plant’! That in itself is interesting to me. But the pot thickens.
There is a cannabis-loving tribe in Mali, West Africa called the Dogon tribe. A fairly well-documented group, the Dogons were visited by Herodotus, a Greek traveler and chronicler, around 300 BC. He was fortunate enough to have visited the Dogons during a year-long celebration that took place every 50 years. Explaining their celebration, the Dogons pointed to the brightest star in the Winter sky, Sirius, and said it was the ‘Two-Dog Star’ and that it was the home of the ‘two-dog plant’, cannabis. The two-dog plant, they said, was brought to our planet from the Goddess from the Two Dog Star. Their yearlong celebration was in honor of that star.

What is the origin of the name “street outlaw”?
You are a drag-racing fan?
…or maybe it smells like burnt rubber, or race fuel?

I am a drag racer, or should I say was back in my youth.
No this was more about being a street outlaw than anything else, plus it has a nice ring to it.
