Hypersemillas has the real seed company gear.

Black Magic African is reported to be very high in THCV and is one of the rarest and sought after strains in the world! The high THCV content produces a psychedelic effects likened to the effects of DMT! The legendary DJ Short described Black Magic African as the most potent strain that he's ever tried BUT never got seeds of... Called the 'Holy Grail' of cannabis! Truly NOT for beginners or novice consumers! Few have tried the rare herb. Stories are usually of two people sharing a pinner joint and being extremely high for 6 hours or more! Well, I believe that I just might've found where to buy the seeds! I ordered a couple of them and will update in the future! I'm told they're F8 generation seeds!

Good luck and happy growing!

Hi, I'm new here, found this site by searching for Diet Durban Poison. I have bought a few seeds from Seedman waiting for my current plants to be finished before starting on a new grow.
Now I see on Seedman there is no mention fo Diet Durban anymore.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I plan on writing Seedsman but first wanted to hear if anyone here grew it out and what was the result.
I'm thinking it turned out to be shit?
Any info appreciated. Thanks

Never heard of Diet Durban. Also question any Durban that takes less than 85 days or so to flower. Meaning Dutch Passion and their alleged IBL Durban.

I've heard of diet Durban, but never seen or researched it.

• Durban Poison. Been around since the 70's

• Harlequin​

• Pink Boost Goddess​

• Power plant​

• Willie Nelson​

• skunk#1​

• red congolese​

• Doug's Varin. ...
• Pineapple Purps. ...
• Jack the Ripper. ...
• Girl Scout Cookies.

I would think Druban/Harlequin are the main root sources of these kinda strains.

They did mention this one may not be suitible for outdoor growing where summers are short, so maybe its mostly African Sativa. I think Seedman has chat people but being the weekend I could not find a chat or email. Also on my computers the site reverts to Italian every time I try to flip the site to english. I don't know if some cookie does that or what

Again I maintain an IBL Durban. I’ve been growing many years. Started smoking in 1965. Started growing almost immediately.

People ask “Where are the landraces?” They’re gone because of very long flowering times and high numbers of males. It’s predictable you’ll get about a 50/50 split. Indicas were crossbred specifically to shorten flower times. Strains like Old Timers Haze can take up to 120 days to flower and that’s ridiculous for people growing just a few plants.

This Durban is extremely tasty and a killer daytime smoke for when you have to do more than be stupid. But back to my point on short flowering “Durban”. That’s not Durban as it was when the seeds were brought from South Africa.

Just popped 10 this Spring and 6 were males. Very top dominant plants and I keep them well under a meter or around there by topping 3 times in a starting very early and supercropping as soon as the stems are long enough to snap. Otherwise these easily hit 9’. 85-87 days average for flower.

I'm new to this game, tell me why you haven't feminized seeds so you don't get the males or for some combination reason you want the males? Do you select phenotypes for breeding or let them go natural?. Any idea how many generations your plants have been going on in your garden? I understand most seeds sold these days are mixed with probably an indica to shorten flower time, Yours maybe some of the few survivors of the land race. Your keeping it alive, thanks

I'm thinking it didn't work as to the reason its no longer listed. Buying seeds is a real crap shoot from some of the seed sellers. I bought some seeds from a different seller and half turned out to be photos and I didn't order photos. And who knows what they actually came from or are. Some were CBDs and I get really stoned from it. I was wondering if CDB was something real or is it just someones perceptions? If all the mdical claims are just hype and it gets weed legal or non criminal more power to them. Maybe it just makes people feel better and thats ok but it may not cure athletes foot.

I’ve feminized a few. The purpose of an IBL is to keep it totally natural. My main buyers are breeders wanting males almost as much as the females. But growing 40+ plants of multiple strains makes things like STS or colloidal silver an extra chore.

good to know, some day I may want some. Thanks

The 5 High-THCV Strains You Should Know About​

Adam Drury∙ January 17, 2020 7:00 am PST | Updated 1 year ago



As our scientific knowledge of cannabis grows, we're gaining a better understanding of how the plant's complex chemical makeup shapes how our bodies and minds respond to different strains. From cannabinoids to terpenes and flavonoids, we're learning that even the smallest molecules can have a big impact on how a particular cannabis strain makes us feel, along with the health benefits it can provide. A perfect example of this is the trace cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV).
THCV is a minor cannabinoid usually found in trace amounts in most cannabis strains, or “cultivars.” But its slim profile hasn't prevented THCV from gaining the attention of researchers and recently, a foothold in the health and wellness segment of the cannabis market.

What's the skinny on high-THCV strains?​

Over the last decade, studies involving human participants and animal models have identified THCV's potential to suppress appetite in people struggling to lose weight, regulate blood sugar levels in those with type 2 diabetes, reduce epilepsy-related seizures, delay neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson's disease and ameliorate the symptoms of schizophrenia.
Beyond the medical and therapeutic potential of THCV, consumers are increasingly turning to high-THCV strains for their energizing, stimulating and uplifting effects. And no wonder; cultivars with high levels of THCV tend to share a genetic lineage with landrace sativas known for their invigorating highs.
But it's important to note that THCV itself is not psychoactive. THCV appears to slightly reduce the psychoactive effects of THC. That alone makes THCV-rich strains an attractive choice for consumers seeking a high-functioning experience. And for those who use cannabis as part of their workouts and wellness regimes, THCV's ability to quiet the pangs of problematic munchies make it a worthy companion to diet and exercise.

5 high-THCV strains you should know about​

With all the benefits this cannabinoid boasts, you're probably wondering why there aren't more high-THCV strains and cannabis products out there. THCV's relative rarity makes it not only hard to find but difficult and costly to isolate and extract.
Still, there are a handful of cannabis cultivars that are naturally high in THCV, and almost all of them stem from landrace sativas originating in Africa. They may be harder to track down, but they're worth the extra effort. If the many benefits of tetrahydrocannabivarin appeal to you, here are five high-THCV strains you need to know about.

Durban Poison: legendary landrace African sativa​

(Photo by Weedmaps)
Durban Poison originates from the port city of Durban, South Africa and was first imported to the U.S. in the late 1970s by one of America's first international strain hunters, Ed Rosenthal. This award-winning medical sativa has been at the center of the newfound interest in high-THCV strains. With a naturally occurring THCV concentration of nearly 1%, Durban Poison excels at suppressing appetite while inducing energizing and focusing effects of a pure sativa.

Doug's Varin: rare and rich in THCV​

The cultivation of Doug's Varin, likely the highest THC strain available today, appears to have been a happy accident. David Lampach, co-founder of Doug's Varin (now owned by Oakland, California-based California Cannabinoids), said the original cultivar stemmed from a Harlequin parent. When the company identified the cultivar's high THCV content, it began using it to develop a family of THCV-rich strains ranging from 3% to 6% THCV.
Today, Doug's Varin is the strain of choice for many concentrates and extract manufacturers producing products such as tinctures and vape pens with very high levels of THCV.

Pink Boost Goddess: the newest high-THCV strain​

Pink Boost Goddess, developed by California based cannabis farm, Emerald Spirit Botanicals, and distributed by Flow Kana, is one of the specialized strains to emerge from the recent hype surrounding THCV. Unveiled in July 2019, Flow Kana says Pink Boost Goddess contains 4.24 percent THCV along with 18.7 percent THC, making it ideal for reducing anxiety and suppressing appetite. Emerald Spirit Botanicals grows its high-THCV cultivar outdoors on a diversified farm growing vegetables and cannabis.
Unlike other high-THCV strains, which tend to be pure sativas, Pink Boost Goddess is an indica-dominant hybrid with a vanilla flavor and an intense floral terpene aroma.

Pineapple Purps: a “super sativa” with high THCV​

Pineapple Purps is as rare as its genetics are esoteric. A cross between Pineapple, Skunk #1 (another high-THCV strain) and Cheese, Pineapple Purps has been dubbed a “super sativa” on account of its energetic, euphoric and low-anxiety effects. Those strong sativa genetics also mean Pineapple Purps has a very high THCV profile, with some lab results measuring the cannabinoid at 4 percent of the flower's dry weight.
Earthy and sweetly citrusy, this high-THCV strain is one you should definitely know about in case you're lucky enough to come across it.

Jack the Ripper: consistently high in THCV​

Jack the Ripper's storied lineage is one breeders and growers love to recount, but producing a strain rich in THCV wasn't the goal Subcool The Dank (formerly TGA Subcool) had in mind when the idea occurred to cross a Jack Cleaner female with a Space Queen male. Instead, the plan was to breed a fast-acting Haze strain with extreme THC content. But the results speak for themselves: Jack the Ripper consistently weighs in at 5% THCV or higher, with THC content that ranges from around 15-25%.
Despite those wide variations in psychoactive potency, Jack the Ripper maintains one of the highest THCV profiles of any strain to date. Fortunately, Jack the Ripper has become so cherished among growers and recreational consumers that it's one of the easiest high-THCV strains to find.

Last year I crossed a Durban male with a Sensi Seeds Jack Herer. Another high THCV strain. Same ratio of M/F. Denser veg with tight node spacing. Sets you on your butt a little more. Buddy running some in flower now.

Alright boys and girls, my thcv project has finally begun. Been researching this cannabinoid for a few years now, so am so excited to have all the mise en place to get this project going! All landrace, or listed as. All regs. I have settled on these six.
Black african magic
Vietnamese black
Wild Thailand
Malawi gold
Mekanika haze
Durban poison
Will consist of 3 rounds. And will use a strain called balkhi on the third round, for speed. So excited for this!

UPDATE on the diet Durban from Seedsman, they wrote back that they had experienced some issues and took it off the lineup for now. No mention what the issues were.
They gave me a choice of some seeds to make up for it so I choose Gelato OG Autos. I hope they are good. So I give Seedsman a thumbs up for not blowing me off.

Their Gelato OG feminized are excellent! I grew two from cuttings last year. Really good stuff. Don’t know about the autos.

Wow! Impressive collection! I'm very interested in your project as well! I'd also like to acquire some seeds if you make them! Keep up the GOOD work brother! Happy growing!
