Hi Unit,
If you go over to
CannabisWorld , they have help desks there where most of the big seed companies have there own forum for discussing their strains, advise ppl on growing them etc. I read it on the Mr Nice forum, but it is also mentioned in less detail in the description of the strain you'll get at the
UK420 store.
Ive never heard of blackbeard, heard ppl going on about redbeard skunk round here but i think its just like a local name that someones given some commercial bud, african seeds do make a strain called Swazi "Root Bart" which means " Red Beard " in African.
hope this helps
