mauritian grower Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Greetings to all my brothers an sisters. I am blessed to finally have some pictures of some of my grow and this beautiful sativa strain im working with. The plants are still young but are pure females.. Il have more pictures an descriptions about the strain coming. MORE FIREThe Ethiopian Highland was first grown in the highlands of Tanzania, where in my opinion the strain had different characteristics from what it is today. The strain was brought to Ethiopia in the time of the emperor Haile Selassie I's rule and was cultivated and inbred in and around the city of Shashemene by the Rastafari. The plant starts life with characteristics of indica genetics with large leaves and gradually starts to transform into the sativa traits, finishing with spear shaped buds which range from different colours from light greens, dark green with redish orange tints.There are two distinct phenotypes in this strain, one growing tall with far in between nodes an producing slim buds. The other grows short with indica traits, usually produces more weight on the buds and end result is a much better smoke. I been collecting my seeds from Rastafari brothers who bring the herb an seeds across the border. This sativa landrace can be considered one of the shorter variety from the other taller growing African sativas. The loss of height could be due to the highlands of Ethiopia and cold climates forcing the plants to take on indica traits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG.Naj Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Nice plant @Freeherb, do you collect the seeds or you buy it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeherb Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 @OG.Naj I collect them from my local plug. This breed(locally called Shashamane, after a town in Ethiopia where the breed originally came from) has become very popular in Kenya so you can easily get your hands on the seed as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm very glad. @OG.Naj @Dust @gasmeter Hi freeherb, your plant does resemble like the Ethiopian highland(shashemene). Not too bad for your first grow. This plant demands alot of light most preferably sunlight and minimum disturbance. Try out different fertilisers and organic feeding such as composted manures. Some plants may also be tricky to sex. My advice is to grow out some 10 to 15 plants on your next grow, with time you will recognise how the plant behaves and the characteristics of the different phenos. She is very easy to flower indoors and will readily produce buds once the light cycle changes to flowering. Send me a message if you need help.
