Bob Marley has always been an icon for smoking marijuana (Rasta people rather call it ganjah). Nowadays you can hardly find a dorm without at least one poster with Bob approvingly looking at the potheads. Thus, it is prior to accentuate: Bob Marley has nothing to do with people getting high on your staircase to sit there and chatter. This person was a talented and versatile artist who created a musical style of his own. More than that, Marley was a fair sportsman. Healthy lifestyle and humanistic philosophy were not last on his list, either. As for marijuana, to Bob it was a means to evaluate one’s spirit and then to work in the directions discovered, a means for self-perfection and broadening one’s horizon. Not many know that Marley also was in Vietnam (during the war, that is), and this played a crucial part in developing his pacifist ideas.Mentioning cannabis in an interview, Bob said “Smoking weed makes you calm. On one hand, your mind becomes clearer, on the other hand, you slow down and sit to do some thinking. One can get drunk and be stupid, or else smoke and meet oneself. Booze teaches you to be alcoholic, while the herb teaches you to be yourself, a personality”.Raggae music is a musical expression of Rasta philosophy. Its dreamful rhythm renders the feeling of the moment that a musician once managed to catch. Raggae songs are just like people living on the seashore: both childlike and wise like an old man, like the seashore itself, lullabyed by the dawns and tide. Bob Marley is still alive, and our hearts still smile to his music.

Africa Unite is a strain of friendship, because it originates from Africa, but was created in Jamaica. The African parent of this cannabis strain was resinous Indica marijuana widely respected by locals for top quality hasheesh made of it. Bob Marley Seeds crossed the African Indica with a secret Indica strain for bigger buds, the result then underwent backcrossing and was stabilized as what we now know as Africa Unite.Grow peculiaritiesIn cultivation, Africa Unite is not difficult (like most pure Indicas) and can successfully be grown and harvest by novice growers. Out of doors it turns to flowering in September, and in 60-70 days the cannabis can be harvested. Plants are of a classical Indica appearance: medium-height and bushy, with massive flowers and thick stem. Nonetheless, whilst flowering Africa Unite may need to be tied so that heavy colas do not break its stem. Africa Unite likes to be grown in indoor setups as well as out of doors, in greenhouses, etc. Being rich in resin, Africa Unite resists well to mold and fungi, nor can most insect parasites injure this cannabis. Typical indoor harvest with Africa Unite will be 400-500 g/m2, and enough space out of doors will present you with some 50-100 g more. It is highly recommended to use SCRoG, LST or FIM on Africa Unite, because its mighty potential needs even and overall lighting for full realization.EffectDry buds smoke somewhat earthy. Smoking results in a purest heaviest stone that some beginners find way too heavy. Africa Unite is a strong antispastic relaxant that boosts up your appetite and makes you sound asleep 2-3 hours after. This cannabis is more preferable for night use. Its high concentration of cannabinoids makes Africa Unite a medical strain that successfully works against insomnia, headaches, high blood pressure, muscular hypertonus.
