Boy that bottom picture different pheno is Sativa all the way. Those shorter ones really look like some Indica in them, that’s interesting as these are F8s…
I’d breed that Sativa (because that’s what I’m after), if one of the males matched it.
These are Landrace F8s per D.
As I understand it, Indicas may have been introduced to Africa very early
& strains Developed across the continent
so a big if here, but maybe that’s what you’re seeing in your plants phenos ???
Trust me I’m NO expert…I’d pay D. just to talk on the phone pick his brain on soil mix and nutrients…!
((after researching the Ituri Forest soil & the African strain grown in southern Illinois Makanda valley outdoor grow 1980’s that produced a very powerful strain, I have some Soil & environment conditions ideas ???!
Medium nutrient loom soil—
Fox Farm Ocean Forest 40%
MO. river silt loom. 25%
(BAM according to poster here grows abundantly along the Ituri river banks, so why not add some river silt loom)
Sand. 10%
Clay. 10%
Perlite. 15%
Temp hot 82-85 (hotter better)
I would go hotter but that’s it for the house.
Humidity Veg 65-70% induced
“. “. Flower 50-40-35 to ripeness
Feed nutrient, haven’t totally decided on that yet…??? Any ideas from anyone
Please

& Hoffman Super Manure pellets for
4-2-3 (also contains Cal/Mag) Veg period feeding, as most of my Auto strains didn’t like strong nuits))
