Long live Cannabiogen! From Ghana, With Love

This last year, I managed to acquire 2 packs of cannabiogen’s Ghana line from two Spanish growshops. Pevgrow.com and Tucultivo.net

At this moment, I am looking to see if there are any growers with some experience that have the desire to preserve(repro) this African sativa line that can potentially go over 16 weeks.

Here is a description from seedsman:
Ghana regular is a limited edition West African with a very trippy yet social high. It is a tall plant with a long flowering period as might be expected of cannabis indigenous to equatorial regions. The taste is spicy with a hint of mint.

Some notes from icmag thread tied to Ghana line:

“…the terps are magnificent if you go for old skool type stuff. incense, burnt hair, spices that now to me epitomize Africa for some reason. the terps are wild, untamed, different. not like south American nor indonesia or Nepalese. a lot of the Africa strains have the woody, earthy, musky, hashy terps. not Ghana. totally different.

the Ghana smoke got a lot better for me after 5 mth. cure.

Ghana is dreamy, upbeat, euphoric.

CBG said Ghana tested high in THCV”

Anybody that’s interested, feel free to PM me.

Wow
Back in December I tried popping my last Ghana beans for a repro. They were CBG stock, O.P.'ed by TTX/w89, R.I.P.
None of them made it.

@Upstate or @Roms
If you guys cant do it, I’ll make room.

I wish i had room. Booked til fall time unfortunately. Lots of preservation planned.
I also have a pack of Ghana from GN Collection @Wuachuma. Different one i think. I’d put that up for adoption too if there were interest in making more seed.
@US3RNAM3 They sound great!

Ya @US3RNAM3 big up CBG, Ghana is reputed to have the stronger weed in West Africa, Black/Red kind with early flowering compared to Gold/Green i think. Connection with Congo and South Africans’s Malawi/ Swazi possibility. (?)

Grown by Jrw,
Esbe’s line Jahwi’s Joy :

“I know of 4 strains from Ghana, Esbe’s Jahwi’s Joy, the Accra Skunk zamalito talks about, an unkown seedline a friend in London has that he obtained from a friend who went to Ghana and a cut (may exist in seed from too) that was grown by some rastas in Bradford back in the 90s that I nicknamed Black Star after the famous Ghana football team and cos it had almost black dark foliage. The London seedline produces plants that look very like traditional Jamaican sativas and I reckon it shares the same S. Indian background as Jamaican sats. The Black Star was a very narcotic smoke, the kind of weed that caused you to spend all afternoon staring into space nodding slowly to dub reggae, those rastas loved that cut and said they had had it for years”

I think original landrace thanks to Gypsy Nirvana then selected thanks to Esbe, :wink:

Might be Kaiki’s line for CBG is the same i don’t know ?

That would make sense since Esbe was on the Vibes Co forums.
I’ll hop on seedshare and ask. I would think Baldy would know.

Probably also high in THCV.Little piece of scissor hash I smoked decreased the appetite, which is one of effects of THCV.

It seems there are multiple guardian angels watching over this landrace community, there’s a willing steward that has stepped forward for this season. Bless up ! If anybody sees this message and knows of sources for Cannabiogen’s older landrace stock - please don’t hesitate to shoot a quick msg. These lines must be saved for the next generation!!

Didn’t find much online, probably most are in private fridges. Rafa from cannabisonline still sells the durban: Cannabiogen seeds - #11 by CaptainNemo

Edit: also CSI humboldt has some repro of CBG strains

Kool to see this! I’ll be getting a pack soon too.

I missed this one.

Just a test :

Who know here the real name of this weed ?
Who know here how this weed is the most appreciated ?
And who know the particularity of this cultivar in term of terroir ?

But more important : who still working it ? ^^

Have you find someone already working on the repro ?

I would be very interested, but have a few things in the pipeline like Reeferman´s Willy Nelson and some Hazes first. So couldn´s start right away with it.

No idea.

There are some informations about weed in ghana here on cannabisonline (french only sorry) from someone that lived a bit there, brought back some seeds and worked them a bit. Don’t know if it holds what you want.

Don’t know if it’s still worked. A co-op of that strain, or maybe a freaker run would be awesome.

Damn, almost all the intel is on the post you linked, but one i will keep for testing ^^

  • the real name is “wee”, but it’s linked with a specific way to consume it, proper to ghanna.
  • cocoa plantations is where the high tier is grown ^^

On the report, i saw between the lines that he’s looking like to have got a low tier.
Considering the location and the description of the weed, i’m even thinking about a nigerian import (equivalent of mex bricks for americans for there) often smuggled by togolese in ghanna.

When you’re enough lucky to get some, the wee is neon green with a very strong “clove range” scent. It’s a “shaded weed” grown at high RH … not a malawi of desertic hills fried by the sun (and a lot less potent) ^^

The same profile that a terpy critical mass, but in more sugared with notes of camphor. It’s a profile you can found also in the Durban Sensi and some early 2000’s repros.

Not an easy girl, maybe why the dormancy. Also a bunch of weird theories on repros that are not helping in practice, in front to the plants, i guess ^^

The Ghana which CBG sold was sourced by FlyingLion

Hi man, I’ve just read your other thread about Tucultivo.net and was curious if the Ghana is the real deal or not? Because in the other thread your warning about this shop.

Thanks for the heads up, do you know if there’s a way to get ahold of FlyingLion? I tried messaging him on icmag a while back with no success.

Regarding tucultivo, they are scammers 100% - Punto Rojo stock was fake and they stole my money on CBG Sud Africa portion of order

Waiting on feedback from grower on whether that source resembles true long time flowering sativa.
