Kwazulu Strain- Who has grown it? Particularly outdoors, but interested in your indoor comments, too...

...what was your grow like?

I’m interested in cultivating hardy sativas for coastal (a couple miles in, low elevation) Northern California.
Picked up S. African Kwazulu by World of Seeds, via Seedsman, because it is supposed to be a pure landrace sativa that is hardy in cooler climes, and has a pleasant taste with uplifting high.
Will say of the first five I germinated about 8 weeks ago- 3 popped, but only 2 survive (very healthy, though!), but just dropped 5 more about a week and a half ago and all popped, and are in small soil pots now.

Back to questions-
What was your climate/geography like?
How many hours of FULL sun?
As I already have an early start (sprouted ~Jan. 15), anyone had any problems with occasional near-freeze temps? -most I will keep in greenhouse until maybe April (opened-door/windows during day, but temps up to 90 for a couple hours; down to high 40s F, but more low 50s F at night). Also to note- true-equinox is on March 16th here this year, so giving supplemental light to keep from flowering.
Flowering time?
Yield?
Flavor?
Mind posting pictures?- all stages welcome.
Any training, or au naturale?

Southafrican Kwazulu I grew out 2-3 years ago a standard landrace
a heady standard sativa is all, as I was growing Power Plant another african sativa that I prefer

I grow sats in a temperate climate fighting molds and fungi with bleach and neem oil
they do take a little longer more so for the first generation,
if you seed then the following plants are 'Established' and makes life easy

Thanks. Temperate rainforest here, too, but have gotten pretty good about managing mold.
I think I’ve read through most if not all of the articles online for Kwazulu- not a lot out there so I turn here.
Hoping to cross it with Durban Poison. Both are growing here well, and I just took clones a female KZ I recently flipped. About 2.5 months old, but bent over once to shorten height and grow rate.
Flipping to observe the stretch, and gets some quick smoke to try, but will let the clones become patio trees.
What do you like about Power Plant? Will look it up.

I'm sure Nirvana's Dhas a lot of KW in it but it will need confirming https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Durban_Poison/Nirvana_Seeds/

for me Power Plant also called Power Flower is a Dutch staple
I've been growing for over 20 years and is well aclimatized,
thats the difference between growing a sativa first time round can be very unpreditcable

consider putting a little CS or sts to flip a lower flower to keep you in seeds a lot than clones..?

Ah, yes- Power Flower. I knew it soundt familiar (yes, that’s how I spell sounded because that’s how I say it, haha).
The more I read about it, it seems a chem-flip may be easier in the long run- thanks for promoting the idea. A local place sells the same sts they use.
The two adult KZ I have (in recent flower-flip) are both fem. Have 5 seedlings unsure about, so if I get a male I might still do an old-fashioned meet&greet for some 50/50 seeds.
