Thanks. The Congolese seems to be the same one some are calling red stem and others are selling at silly high prices. Ive seen some pictures of it on one of the forums but when reading the report the guy didnt give a very good smoke report but I think thats just a personal thing. I was interested to know if anyone else had experience with it and found any good plants that smoked half decent from it. Its obviously still quite raw in the form its in and as with many landrace types need work. But I wanted to know if there was any potential in it. Some Congolese are potent or with a bit of selective pressure can fast be very potent. Unfortunately there isnt alot of (real)pure Congolese available. There were some rumours going around that this Congolese might be the one Franco(rip) collected himself and donated for preservation to some local institute, but not sure of that. It could be me mis-remembering, but im sure the price has gone up on them, so im guessing that must mean they've realized they are better than they first thought.
Yes with Malawi, what I found interesting with the Malawi 2020 is they were actually collected recently (2020)in Africa rather than the afro-pips one wich is in quite a few breeders hands and on the seed market in various forms. I thought it might be interesting to see what the 2020 african version was like and its not one everyone has, I haven't seen or heard of anyone who has grown it either. Might grab the 2020 myself.
