Strain Hunters South Africa Expedition - FULL LENGTH

The Strain Hunters are back! Almost 5 years after Franco tragically passed away from malaria, the Strain Hunters team set off on a new expedition, to continue Franco's legacy. Arjan returns to the home of the AmaMpondo people in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, what used to be the Transkei region. Franco spent several years working in the region with the locals and had a large influence on how the region has developed. Arjan teams up with Strain Hunters Dust, Simon and Mr.X in a new expedition where they explore remote regions of Pondo Land through the Umzimvubu river. This one is for Franco!
Tens of thousands of amampondo farmers continue to cultivate landrace cannabis along the Umzimvubu river. To support or visit these farmers please contact the Umzimvubu Farmers Support Network, a non profit that has litigated to end decades of forced fumigation with military grade glyphosate. The organisation currently advocates for the inclusion of traditional heritage cannabis farming communities in the emerging cannabis industry. To visit this beautiful area, undertake your own expedition or support these farming communities email [e-mail]

Notice how they are all very chill, kind, open-minded and just happy to live. Its crazy how a plant can change lives.

[@thatstench5242]

Usually, they are chill. I've seen people get moody with excess.

[@thatstench5242]

@SuperElske I'm not against it. I grow it myself. But I have seen a few people get irritated when they use a lot of it on a day to day basis. It's similar with alcohol, if you overuse it you can get irritated.

So happy to see you guys bringing back the strain hunters in Francos Honor! The preservation of landraces is key to maintaining diversity and you guys will always be some of the best of the best for this 🤟

[@chichikov617]

spreading western hybrids into the home of landraces doesnt preserve them, it destroys them. he says in the first few minutes that you can see cheese everywhere. what do you think happens to the pollen?

[@scottlwsn6348]

I’ve waited soo long for this, even though we lost Franco it’s amazing to see the guys still promoting and driving the cannabis movement, truly the original guys for the job. One day i will visit greenhouse myself to see how these guys do there thing in person , rip Franco the king of the landrace forever in everyone’s heart

The guide who took you all around seems like an amazing person, he said he learned English because of cannabis! Wow what a statement and so true. If I where Green house seeds I’d hire that man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

ordered some growing supplies recently and got a free gift, some papers and filters with "strain hunters" on it and ofc i was interested and now i have a big problem... there's not enough videos! :D i love them all it's so incredibly cool, thank you for all your hard work!

[@freezeframeplease]

i think it's very interesting that arjan takes seeds from there to mix with some other genetics on the lab and he gives them some of their genetics to mix with the landraces. it's really a symbiotic relationship plant-breeding wise interesting for arjan to comeback and see how their genetics responds to landrace's climate

[@rosskelly1921]

Peace bros good to see the legacy carrys on. Respect to you all frm Aotearoa / new zealand.

I think it's great what you guys do keeping our land races pure and surviving. Meeting those people changed their lives and yours. Now they have better growing techniques and strategies. Plus trading seeds for seeds is a great way of helping them learn to grow different plants, great job guys and RIP franco, you were the best preservationist of our cannabis
