There’s Moroccan “Ketama”, which is apparently often contaminated. And Derg has a Nigerian. Those are the only West African strains I know of.
( I thought Morocco was part of North Africa)
but cool on the N gerian.
@Mongobongo Tanza-knee-her is on the Eeeeeast Side. But also good info/thanks.
Hhahaha please post a map for those of us geographically unable.
Depending on who you ask what “West Africa” is I guess…
Nigeria is east-most in W Africa. Morocco is North, but it’s also as far West.
I won’t get nerdy & argumentative about the saharan divide
…but what led to my thinking & asking is the climate on the coast there would be different from Congo, deep in the center & maybe a climate 1/2-way between South Africa & Congo… more moderate? African OG?
Time to call @Sunvalley…
Looks like most of W Africa is in the BWh climate zone (Arid/desert/hot). The rest is pretty similar to Congo (tropical).
I have a landrace strain from Senegal. That is about as west Africa as you can get. I have not grown it yet. I have also seen weed from Ghana and Ivory Coast. They are likely related and said to be milder strains of weed. At least the original strains are.
I would like to try the senegal myself, I like the colors I seen from a few pics of that strain… USC and Tropical seeds had it, but no longer stock it for some reason… I do have some ghana crosses, like sour diesel X Ghana… I dont have much,but perhaps we could work out a trade…
That is if you would be interested that is… I have been collecting african landraces for a little while now as I am hoping to eventually grow out several crosses from the african strains.
If you are referring to me here? Sorry senor, I do not have enough Senegal seeds to trade. Not sure when I will grow them for more seeds.
I understand… It never hurts to ask… I have African landraces from, Makawi, Nigeria, Congo, Morroco, Ciskei, Transkei, Lesotha, A Ghana cross or two, And a few others from south africa near transkei, But no senegal…Like I said I like the looks/of th Senegal as it can be colorful with even some blue in it…
I got some DD was very purple and now working on some blue kush and dj short blueberry.
