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
