Black African magic refers to the traditional and spiritual practices that are deeply rooted in the cultures and belief systems of various African societies. Also known as African traditional religion or indigenous African religion, it encompasses a wide range of practices, rituals, and beliefs that have been passed down through generations. In Black African magic, spiritual beings and ancestors are revered and believed to have the power to influence the lives of individuals and communities. It is based on the belief that the spiritual realm coexists with the physical world and that there is a constant interaction between the two. Divination, or the art of gaining insight into the future or guidance from the spiritual realm, plays a significant role in Black African magic. Various divination methods are used, such as casting bones, interpreting dreams, or consulting oracles.

African Black Magic/ Ituri Norie

I'm creating this thread for all those people who are obsessed with the African black magic strain.
The quest to find this strain shall begin!
Well personally I never encountered this strain but I have been researching it for quite a while now and this is what I can conclude I've been reading about a black strain of weed found in the Ituri Forest in the Democratic Republic of Congo and that the Pygmies of the forest smoke it and it is said to be very psychedelic, probably due to equatorial conditions this strain has adapted to high uv rays and probably started producing high levels of THC and THCV and that could explain it's high psychedelic activity . Just like many other African strains like Malawi gold, Durban poison, and Mulanje gold. If any of you know about this strain or other black colored or dark colored African strains please share some of you knowledge and let's try to keep this thread alive and solve the mystery of this legendary African Sativa strain! oh and I found some pics of it on Thcfarmer

There is also another sativa strain of interest to me it is called Dalat and it is from Vietnam in the province of Dalat it is said to have been cultivated for centuries by the indigenous tribes of mountain people know as Montagnards. I read it on an article on high times and another article.
http://allaboutweed.blogspot.com/2011/12/vietnam-dalat-green-purple.html?m=1
This is the other article and the high times article is called The Heart of Dankness it is on hightimes.com

You all should check it out

Those Pygmy tribes are cool. It would be awesome to get ripped on their herb and enjoy their music. The foods not too good I've heard and little people kind of scare me. good luck on your quest. Seems all you need to do is get a plane ticket and a bus ticket or two.

Kush Kloud

Yup Zeke I'm working on it, but first I need some more research done on the strain and the Congo don't want to waste a trip or get killed from malaria or aids lol ya feel me

Looks like the real thing but mine is much more frosty than the ABM in those pictures. I also have the Dalat. My Talk of Kabul also grows black like that sometimes.

Kush Kloud

Thanks for showing up markscastle good to have you on this thread.
Do you think you can tell about the ABM and the dalat?
That would be wonderful

markscastle

Well-Known Farmer

Not much to tell about the Dalat. My Brother brought it back from one of his tours in Nam. Got it from a trip in a chopper.
Not much on the ABM as well. Trying to get back to working on the genetics, very hard to grow and unstable. Released a couple bags of bud a very long time ago and it ended up being a legion. Got some big offers for the genetics and it even ended up with a write up in High Times. Never released it as it needs much work done. Maybe some day when I get time to do more breeding again. Did a small release of the Talk of Kabul and Bodhi used it in a couple of` authorized` crosses he released a few years ago. Also sent some to Mota but he had some grow room problems or something about that time. Don`t think he made any crosses with it for release.

Kush Kloud

Sounds great markscastle but I have a question where was the place of origin of the ABM? And what was the lighting cycle you put her on when you grew her?

johnnyrotten

Wouldn't you want to start these plant's 12/12? In the region that these plants are from, the average amount of daylight is 12 hours and 7 minutes all year long. so they should flower fine under 12/12.

I'm really excited to know more about these plants, it sounds like something I'd like to grow! That Dalat sounds interesting as well.

I honestly believe that the reason that you don't see a lot of these truly psychedelic plants being grown is probably because they take so long to flower. then people start trying to breed them for a faster finishing time which may dilute the effects. What do you think?

Sounds great markscastle but I have a question where was the place of origin of the ABM? And what was the lighting cycle you put her on when you grew her?

FlyinJStable

I Bet this drives growers nuts In all plants that are regionally acclimated.
Its like taking a dessert cactus at planting it at the base of the Himalayas.
IMHO
The key in-part of running a rare and difficult strain finding the correct geographical location and duplicate right down to the angle of the light source.
I was amazed to read the effect a simple shift in lighting angle can have this set with proper RH heat cycles A guy could go nuts. IMO I would look at a closed environment and remember also higher levels of O2 are present.
On average 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen But in the jungles some rainforests like Sri Lanka, sub-Saharan Africa from Cameroon to the Congo have reported up to 22.8% and lower carbon Dioxide to boot.
Just wondering how long it would take to acclimatize that type of land-race. WoW that hurts my brain
Thought to grow on
FlyJ

johnnyrotten

so, are you saying that you think a sealed room with low co2 might be more beneficial than say 1500ppm?

I'm looking at some of the weather data from Republic of the Congo. looks like pretty great weather to grow in. Ave Max Temps 84-89 Avg Low Temps 68-69, 69% RH and 73" of rain per year.

IMO I would look at a closed environment and remember also higher levels of O2 are present.

@ rotten
Interesting but that IMO would come later
if one was to duplicate the environment the plant originated adding CO2 would only be added to mach the region. wouldn't you think that the case?
Now, IF, it were already stable and been indoor grows for a few grow cycles, then yea, playing with the CO2 is what some advanced growers would do to maximize the Flower IMO
, But that is speculative.
I have seen and smoked bud with with out.
Its a mater of the grow.
I was making the comment based only on what if.
Much respect
FlyJ
I just want to see it Grow

johnnyrotten

yeah, I think you are right. it doesn't seem like the environments in most grow rooms would be much different than what they see in their native environment. RH at 69% is pretty high but maybe they grow better that way. somebody growing them might want to keep the humidity higher than normal. I'd probably go with a homemade organic soil mix.

Kush Kloud

All of y'all have good points and Johnnyrotten you hit the nail on the head with the lighting cycle. But what I would do if I had this strain or other equatorial Sativas is first I would make an organic super soil mix and add some microbes. Then I would use advance lighting systems like lush lighting because it's better for photosynthesis and it's kind of close to the suns light spectrum and I would add UV lights like Arcadia D3+ T-5 46 inch 54 watt 12% UV-B for extra UV-B so it would match or surpass the light of the equator to some degree. The I would dial the light on 14/10 for vegetive stage while using the Lush LED Vegetator with the supplemented UV-B because study's that I have seen say that in order for you to get the best out of UV supplementation you have to have it on threw out the whole plants life cycle, just like on the equator they just don't have UV rays during flowering and also they have to get use to the UV rays in order to start making more cannabinods like THC and THCV, also it is genetic which I understand that too, but thats why you use landrace equatorial Sativa genetics that already have this chemo type. Then I would use Lush dominator 2x or 2xXL (depending on how many Sativas I'm growing) with the extra UV-B lighting, I would dial the flowering cycle on 11/13 for best Sativa phenotypic expression. While supplementing CO2 and oxygenating the water with ozone.

So guys tell me what you think and correct me if I'm wrong and I encourage all of you to do your own research on the topic so we can come to the best conclusion. Oh and stay Irie

5 Of The Rarest Weed Strains on Earth

Every once in a while, weed enthusiasts will claim to have come across a strain like no other. Most people will have no clue about the particular strain in question and a discussion on whether that particular strain really exist or not will often occurs. But, do these these ‘mythical’ and ‘elusive’ strains really exist or are they just figments of people’s imaginations.

One thing we can agree on is that there are certain weed strains that are really hard to come by. If you get your supply of cannabis from your local hemp store, you’ll most certainly have an idea of which strains are less common than others. Some weed strains even have some sort of ‘legendary’ status because of how rare they are. Some people even come across these rare strains without knowing it, often requiring the insight of other parties to recognize what is before them.

Most rare weed strains happen to be the most expensive cannabis products on the market. However, not all rare strains are super expensive – some are actually quite affordable if you do find them. Listed below are some of the rarest weed strains that you’ve probably never heard about.

1. Black African Magic

You’ll not find the Black African Magic in many cannabis stores across the country. This is one of the rarest cannabis strains on the planet. However, it is one of the most easily distinguishable strains due to its black to dark brown color. Its unique color makes it easy to recognize from all other strains on earth. Weed enthusiasts who swear by this strain claim that it is highly potent and rich in flavor. So, if you do manage to get your hands on Black African Magic, you should count yourself as one of the lucky few. It’s simply too rare to stumble upon by chance.

2. Oaxacan Highland

The Oaxacan Highland can easily be mistaken for a different plant other than weed. This strain has a really unconventional look that is quite different from what many people expect from a typical hemp plant. Oaxacan Highland is actually one of the oldest weed strains on record. The actual plant grows to heights of up to 12 feet. The strain was quite popular in the 60s and 70s, but it’s nowhere to be seen in today’s world. Some people claim that the strain almost became extinct because of overwhelming hostility in the cartel-controlled areas it was cultivated in.

3. Panama Red

Panama Red is easily recognizable by its bright colored red accents. Weed enthusiasts from way back know this strain to be the purest sativa on the planet. Availability of Panama Red has reduced over the years due to the prevalence of hybrids on the market. Not many people look for pure weed strains any more. Cannabis hybrids are the buzz now and although Panama Red is still grown in some parts of North American, it is considered old and outdated by millenials. Because of this, the strain is gradually becoming rarer by the day.

3. Puna Budder

Another very rare cannabis strain is Puna Budder. This strain was also very popular back in the good old days. If you were alive in the 60s and 70s, you can probably attest to the fact that Puna Budder was one of the ‘coolest’ strains available. The strain attracted a lot of attention from law agencies leading to severe crackdowns in major cities and towns. Fast forward to today, the strain is very hard to find in most cannabis stores. Those who still have access to this strain must be very good at keeping secrets.

4. Hindu Kush

A comprehensive list of rare weed strains would not be complete without mentioning Hindu Kush. You have probably heard of Hindu Kush and it’s amazing qualities, but have never had the chance to see or enjoy it. Well, there is no reason to worry as you are definitely not alone. The strain is said to have a 100% indica rating that many people would die for. Hindu kush is not common in cannabis shops. If you are lucky to find it, you’ll definitely have to pay the price. On top of being one of the rarest strains, Hindu Kush is also one of the purest.

5. Malawi Gold

This strain that is named after a county in Africa is also quite rare. It’s rarity is almost at the mythical or legendary level because no one seems to have seen it. Apparently Malawi Gold has been around for centuries and is easily recognizable by its distinct golden hue. This does not mean that any hemp plant that has a golden or light-brown hue is Malawi Gold. You would be surprised how many people are misled or conned this way. Malawi Gold is simply special. It’s rarity can be attributed to its extremely difficult cultivation and harvesting process.

These are just some of the rarest weed strains from around the world.

Black African Magic

I've been obsessed with this strain since I first encountered it. I had always read that this strain came from Nigeria. Since I could not find this strain anymore I decided to see if I could recreate it at home. In my research of this plant I found that it is not only the genetics that made the bud black and powerfull but it is the cure.
I decided to find out for myself. I put a fair amount of bud that was jar cured for seven weeks in a brown paper bag and put it deep in some black rich composted soil. I left it there for twelve days. On that day I pulled out the soggy broken down bag to find soggy broken down bud. The bud was dark green and much heavyer than the jar cured bud. It also smelled of ammonia and turned moldy. I let it air dry from soggy bud to moist bud and then put it in it's own jar as to not rot the other bud. I let it dry/rot/cure to dark brown for four
months. (I think I found a way to black cure some bud at home)
The bud smoked harsher the the original fms grapefruit haze but it was not bad at all. It was about twice the power though and it was hard for myself and a buddy to finish a
single joint that was cut with less potent bud.
If I were to cange anything I would put it in cotton cloth not a paper bag. Also I would bury it in damp compost. Before I forget I did add about a fair amount of urine to the compost to kick things up a notch or two. All in all it worked. The longer it sat was the stronger and smoother it smoked. I will always black cure at least a portion of my buds from now on.

Interesting read monkeykush, I have also thought that it would be a fermentation cure that makes the bud that way.

I have heard of many ways the local Africans here sweat and ferment their weed. It almost always dried in the sun. I'm sure this adds to the high in the end as sun dried bud seems to give some strange highs.

Also, I've noticed that most of the cheap African street weed is immaturely harvested and anyone familiar with Sativas will know the effects of a very early harvested Sativa.

An older African buddy of mine told me they would sun dry the heads then wrap them tightly in news paper or brown paper and burry them in hot composting steaming cow manure for a few days checking it regularly so as not to mold. When it reached a dark green/black colour it was removed and dried. He said it was usualy about 3 or so days in the hot manure. I imagine the high microbial activity in the composting manure may aid in the fast break down of the chlorophyll.

I don't think the buds are supposed to heavily mold. I think the high heat, moisture and microbes turn the buds dark quickly over a course of a few days and break down the stuff that makes the smoke harsh before mold can really set in.

I'm glad someone is doing these tests.

Good luck with the experimenting, Ah.

African herbman the mold did die off once the bud was completely dry. I must say that the power was serious. Next time the compost will be drier and I will let it cure a little longer in the compost. This experiment I proformed proves that a weaker bud can be doubled or trippled in strength. Just add compost urine and time.

ALLOW ME TO INTERJECT.

Way back when(early nineties), I used to get this stuff from Jamaica that was identical to the description that DJ Short gives of BAM in his book. The buds were stringy, sparse, compressed and had a greasy/waxy feeling. It had that rotting meat/putrid type of smell with a faint ammonia smell in the background; which leads me to believe that it was fermented/sweat cured. The smoke was among the densest I've ever seen, the taste however left something to be desired. The high was very intense, ceilingless, and unrelenting. Novices had a hard time with this one, full on sativa rush with a good dose of paranoia for good measure that would transition into a really heavy sedative effect. This was very, very strong weed that could hold its own with any of todays strains, and then some.

My point is that this weed was imported from Jamaica, I know that for a fact because I knew the importers. I believe that what most people in North America refer to as BAM is in all probability a variety very similar to what I had at that time from Jamaica. Most people have no clue where their imported weed came from; other than what they are told by their dealer(we know they're reliable and well informed). The likelihood of weed making it from Africa to North America is far less than the probability of it making it from Jamaica to NA. I am not saying that African weed hasn't been imported from Africa to NA, only that it is far less (by orders of magnitude) than what has been brought in from Jamaica.

I too have heard that this black african herb comes from gogam, gogem? valley in ethiopia.. I have also heard that they mightve wrapped the herbs in banana leaves and buried it and left to decompose for a while. i believe seedbay has ethiopian highland seeds..at least they did this weekend

Various divination methods are used, such as casting bones, interpreting dreams, or consulting oracles. Diviners or spiritual healers are considered the mediators between the physical and spiritual worlds. Another important aspect of Black African magic is the use of charms, amulets, and talismans for protection, prosperity, or to ward off evil spirits.

These objects are believed to possess spiritual powers and provide a connection between the spiritual and physical realms. Ancestor worship and the veneration of deities are also core elements of Black African magic. Ancestors are considered to be intermediaries between the living and the divine, and are often honored through rituals and ceremonies. Despite the influence of colonialism and the spread of other religious beliefs, Black African magic has persisted and continues to play a significant role in many African societies. It is seen as a source of cultural identity and a way to connect with ancestral traditions. However, it is important to note that there is a diversity of beliefs and practices within African traditional religion, as different ethnic groups and regions have their own unique interpretations and rituals. While some aspects of Black African magic may be perceived as superstitions or witchcraft by outsiders, it holds great significance and spirituality for those who practice it..

Reviews for "The Role of Women in Black African Magic"

1. Benjamin - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Black African Magic". The plot was confusing and it felt like there were too many characters to keep track of. The acting was also mediocre at best, with some of the actors delivering their lines in a wooden and unconvincing manner. The movie failed to captivate me and I found myself checking the time throughout, waiting for it to end. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone looking for an enjoyable movie experience.

2. Sarah - 1 star - "Black African Magic" was a complete waste of time. The story was predictable and filled with clichés. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters. The special effects were cheap and poorly executed. The whole movie felt like a low-budget production trying too hard to be profound. I would advise anyone considering watching this film to save their money and find something else to watch.

3. Ryan - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Black African Magic", but it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow and the plot meandered without a clear direction. The characters lacked depth and development, making it hard to feel invested in their journey. The cinematography was also lackluster, with uninteresting shots and uninspired camera work. Overall, I found this film to be unengaging and forgettable.

4. Emma - 2 stars - "Black African Magic" had potential, but it failed to deliver. The storyline was convoluted and the movie struggled to find its identity. It seemed to want to be a horror film, but it never quite reached the level of scares it promised. The film also relied on tired stereotypes and clichés, which felt lazy and unoriginal. I was left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed with the overall execution of this movie.

5. Anthony - 1 star - I couldn't wait for "Black African Magic" to be over. The acting was abysmal, with most of the actors delivering their lines with no emotion or conviction. The plot was confusing and it felt like the filmmakers were trying to cram too many ideas into one film. The special effects were laughable and took away from any potential suspense or excitement. Overall, this movie was a huge letdown and I would not recommend it to anyone.
