Diamba Sarabamba !
Such great info, @Gugumelo
You really get into historical context, it’s really important to bring this up to mind, rescuing the past, and keeping it alive.
What really worries me is if in the traditional region where manga rosa grew, there are people concerned about keeping it in pure form.
After the spread of hybrids it is difficult to be sure that it could be found in the pure form in these traditional growing area. It is not fault of the traditional growers, because they are heavily repressed by law, and of course, rationally, anyone in these conditions will seek for varieties with faster flowering and better yields.
Fortunate (based on hearsay) there are some who thought it on time and kept these pure forms.

Thanks Abbbian. I will definitely do that as soon as possible.
I just went direct to this thread because that’s what I was looking for. A couple of years ago came to my hands a supposed “manga rosa” and some other seeds from a good green brick (probably from py), but every thing was loose, there were no certainty about the heritage. The only thing for sure were the long flowering days, which indicated they were from tropical zone. So I was looking for someone that grew them too, and if it resembles that ones.
@George just hope he is fine too

I hope he is well. Manga Rosa and Paraguay are both very rare landraces in their pure form. I sent Gugemelo seeds for him to reproduce for the Freakers. Very sad that the seeds are gone along with him.

Sad but true and the reason I took a chance sending the seed to Brazil. I believe the Manga Rosa was an old Brazilian Seed Company line that flowers 18-26 weeks. Not sure about collection date.
The Paraguay was from a friend. Collected in the 80’s i think.
No, but i won’t make the same mistake twice. Everyone will have to wait for me( or another Freaker) to personally grow the really rare strains now. Cant take another chance like that. They are too hard to get hold of.

Qual sua Latitude ? Isso é muito importante na escolha das sementes que tu vai germinar
Se você for do Nordeste > Sativa tropical de baixa altitude > Malawi Congo > White Widow seria top

Pior mutuca da favela é que pode vir seed com traços de genetica sativa das antigas Paraguayan …

o corre que ele tava fazendo era monstro, cultivando tudo em guerrilha e preservando as genéticas, trampo monstro, e por isso mesmo que fiquei preocupado se ele tá safe, por fazer tempo que ele não fazia nenhuma postagem
e no caso subi estas fotos pra saber se alguém reconhece nelas algum traço das paraguayas antiguas

hey bro… I was following this guerilla too, it was awesome. nonetheles, im impressed with all the master growers from Brazil in OG… the best. It’s an honor to be amongst you guys.
Espero que o guerrilheiro dê notícias em breve, deve ser por causa do período do ano.
I hope the guerrila-guy will be back shortly, it must be something about ‘this time of the year’.
