I just saw some of the African Black Magic seeds for sale stateside in Arizona. $25 each Might be nice to have a unique color mixed in the grow
Interesting … thought I’d never here these words again Black African, but I didn’t here the 3rd word “Magic”.
It started in 1979-80 time frame @ a party while visiting friends at
Northern Illinois university. I was sitting at a table & a guy I recognized started rolling a jay, I recognized him because he went to southern Illinois university in Carbondale Illinois, where I was going to college at the time, “ small world” !
His jay (herb) was Black African ???
He told me it was grown in
Macanda Illinois. Macanda is a forested hilly valley area with rich dark loamy soil, streams, high temperature 85-95f & high choking humidity. Very common in that area.
I moved to Makanda from Carbondale in 1983, 3 yrs after smoking that Black African jay & lived there for 6 months (moved back to Carbondale because it was to far out)…
The Black African strain re-emerged once again to my amazement
A local professor was growing it in a large hillside garden along with about every vegetable known
to mankind !
I lived one house down from him.
The soil, temp, humidity were all as I mentioned above. Rich dark loamy natural soil ( AND the only thing I can think of that was different was a modest amount of Red clay, Red clay was spotty, but common in that area ). I also remember the smell of cow manure around his garden as well, so I can only assume that was one of his big Fertilizer’s but I’m not certain.
…So as hard to believe this story is, I was just as shocked to see this thread???
(So, I hope the soil temp clay humidity parameters listed above) help those that are currently growing possibly a similar or same strain?
((And yes the Black African jay I smoked @ the party over 300 miles away from Makanda was very very potent, keeping in mind the strongest strains I had experienced were Colombian gold and red, Red Vietnamese, & maui Wowie,
with Mexican & simple brown Columbian as the daily standards.
I’m Mike & that’s my story…
