Red Afro (Mostly indica, 25 % Swazi – 75 % Pakistan Citral Kush), (green geno): growroom diary, pics n smoke report by Dr.King, índoor, Oregón, U.S.A:

Dr.King’s smoke report:

Red Afro; Tropical Seeds Company:
“” Greetings all, hope everyone is well. I just finished up a single seed from a 6 pack of Tropical Seeds Red Afro. Running the rest outside next year. Ran this one in a 1’ x 2’ x 5’ clone tent using a Mars 300 Led Light.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mars-300W-LE...QAAOSwmLlX4Rsp

Finished harvest weight was 3.65 oz, 80 days flowering, 35 days veg. The Red Afro could have easily flowered for another 2 weeks if not more. I grew her as a tester for this light and a small clone tent to see what results could be achieved. Next clone tent run with these lights will be a heavy yielder like my Chemdog keeper. The Red Afro is a very potent high, smell and taste. Smells and taste like oranges with honey sickles/hazy back ground. Very unforgettable cannabis. Here is the tent set up.

I would say it’s 80% Indica. 4 people smoke test, makes two of them sleepy if smoking to much. Other 2 can smoke all day without sleeping. Hard to say for sure on the smoking all day, some can some can’t. However the smell is without question top three I have grown out of over 50 strains or so. Blue Og and Chemdog are the best thus far. One smelled like pure Blueberries and the other pure fuel. Red Afro smell has changed from orange to if one where to unroll a pack of life savers and you smell all the different fruits at once. Just one word comes to mind “Amazing”.

Red Afro; bank’s info:

Strain: Red Afro
Strain Type: Mostly indica, 25 % Swazi – 75 % Pakistan Citral Kush
Type: Feminized
Flowering times: 65-75 days
Yield: High yielder indoors and outdoors
Bouquet: Red fruits, floral, kushy, hash
Effect: Starts uplifting, inspiring, gets you relaxed after
Developed by: Locals, African Herbman ( SA ), aeritos ( SP )

The idea was to make a shorter and more compact Swazi based hybrid
(South Africa area). Goal was to form a more sturdy, fast and better
yielder plant that would fit indoors. Red Afro has proven itself successful in achieving what we planned, adding lots of colours to the mix. Bloody red to more purple and intense dark buds are easily found in some large and heavy branches formed in flower time.
You’ll feel delighted with the first up and being high and not heavy in mind or body. Enjoy Red Afro all day long ! The fruity, floral and hash intense background will make you not to stop grabbing Red Afro buds.

Durban Poison’70, bank’s pic n description:

Durban Poison’70s is a sativa strain from South Africa and one of the rarest pure strains in the world. It’s well known for being the strain used by the warriors of the Zulu tribes and appear in great amount of current best hybrids. It has remained unchanged since the 70’s by a small group of South African local growers until we received it a decade ago. Since then, it has been used in hybrids like Durbakistan (Durban x Pakistan) or Durban Punch (Durban x Ciskei) but had never been marketed in pure form. We are currently working to offer this strain in the near future. But as we know the long waits are hard, for that reason we would like to share with you the first steps of our work where we have already found the qualities that have made it famous worldwide !

Strain: Durban Poison’70s
Strain Type: 100% Sativa
Type: Regular, male - female
Hybrid: Pure sativa from South Africa
Flowering times: 80-90 days
Yield: Average
Bouquet: Old school african sativa and fresh mint-eucalyptus
Effect: Instant energetic & uplifting high
Developed by: local growers (SA), aeritos (SP) & Charles D. (SP)

thanks. my clone looks very similar in leaf structure and the high is exact.
i don’t know what they mean by “Old school african sativa” since i’ve tried red congolese, 2 different durbans, and they were all dissimilar, but the min-eucalypt sounds close to my “orangey-rubbery” pheno. :wink:

would you consider breeding with them?

what do you like & dislike about it? i obviously dislike the 3 month flowering. heh. i also dislike the heat requirement for indoors. the high number of nodes is almost bothersome, but i can see why a clone-maker would looooove it. :seedling: :seedling::seedling::seedling::seedling::seedling::seedling::seedling:

thanks again,

I have not started them yet if that’s what your asking, They gifted me the seeds before they listed anything about them… It looks like it still is not listed in their catalog yet. It is a narrow leaf afghani though, which I like the idea of as most afghani are broad leaf cultivers… I’m thinking it might be a good breeding strain, Not that I’m a breeder ,but I’m thinking it might mix well with some long flowering sativas…
