African Black Magic - Comments are welcome!

Decided to start up a grow journal for this strain. I noticed there wasn't much on this rare African Sativa so I figured I would document the entire thing.
Typically this strain will have what is known as THCV. It is a very unique cannabinoid, look it up on google if you want to know more.
So far all I have done is germinated 6 seeds in 1 gal pots and topped. This is where I will start the journey with all of you because lets face it... its seed germination, we have all seen it.

Currently I am growing all of my plants completely organic. Using 3 tbsp per gal of Mother Earth Coco/perlite blend. with the Down to Earth 4-6-2 blend. I like the 4-6-2 for the extra P during beginning to middle stages of veg.

A couple things to note about these plants as the grow starts.

1. I will need to flower when the plants are young for a couple reasons. First, these plants will be very tall when finished.. some could reach 7-9 ft in height if not controlled. So I will be strategically topping and using SCROG to train these girls.

2. While this is a normal grow to me, I am pheno hunting this strain. The problem with this plant is that it will most likely be a 14 week flower. These seeds are not feminized so Im hoping 2-3 of them of female.

3. None of my African Black Magic seeds are for sale and I will not be selling any clones so please do not ask me. This grow is strictly informational on a pretty unknown strain.

That being said I will post as many pictures as I can as I update this thread. I should be updating weekly unless something changes

Day 25 from Seed

All 6 plants are in perfect health. There is definitely a couple stand outs so far. The pheno in the picture is growing super quickly, its almost double the height of the other plants.

None of the plants have shown sex yet. Im hoping ABM #8 is a female, she seems like a super healthy strain.

Havent fed since day 1 after potting them. Will probably transplant to 3 gal pots in about 14 days or so. At that time I will introduce a little Dol lime and a 75/25 ratio of 4-4-4 and 4-8-4 from Down to earth organic nutrients.

Giving molasses and seaweed at every other watering.

Cheers!

Do you still have seeds available? I've been trying to get ahold of some for a long time
