Yeah the indentured servants from india in turn brought it with them to Jamaica sadly Jamaica even has so many Scots second names to this day as a result of the slave days alot of scots help ran the plantations and gave them scottish christian names hell even rabby burns almost at one point nearly ended up working there few know that many would like to forget there guilt and history not me i think its important to never forget

I'm not sure when I'll start another landrace again but when I do I'm taking what your inputs are so far and as far as what I can afford to do I will try the 50/50 perlite vermiculite and add some low N organic fert only occasionally including I think kelp and I'll watch it on the LABs since it was said they didn't take well to microbes. I do it in a small 2G sip to help keep it smaller and for low maintenance. So while top watering won't be ideal in a SIP I'll just give a very small amount of weak solution maybe 1/3 cup watered from the top. I'll have to stick with LEDs, however.

I wanted to provide an update as my Ethiopian grow is winding down. Not done yet but I've started harvesting a few buds/branches every couple days.
I grew two females - vegged until they showed sex, cloned, then flowered the clones. I grew them in 11-ish gallon SIPs in recycled soil. They seemed happy enough in veg, and when I transplanted the clones I amended the soil with ~1 TBS of Tomato Tone per gallon, plus some worm castings, and mulched with cannabis leaves. No other fertilizers were used during the grow.
I think the soil was still a bit too rich for them. Definitely not the prettiest grow, but I'm okay with it for my first attempt at a tropical/landrace sativa. I really like the strain and am planning to grow it again, maybe next time I won't amend the soil at all, or will try cutting it with sand or extra perlite. I've seen the sand recommendation in a few different places, including this thread.
Please enjoy some pics from early and mid/late flower.
