The beldias are very stable. I was able to get 100-200 seeds. I would say have a good starting selection or use proper IPM. I’m hoping to do a larger run and find more pest resistance because fuck IPM. Good resins to be found. They are very fast flowering. Hardly any smell at all. When it was really hot, I would get a whiff of some black pepper and maybe wet dankness a lil. I thought the plants were smelling one time but then that was just the kids down the street smoking. I will continue to pursue further observation but they are very wild and untamed. Would be perfect for discreet growing. They do well in heat but weren’t as drought resistant as I had hoped for.

I’m surprised they weren’t drought resistant. Mine would suck up water like it was going out of style, but then would be fine for a week with no drought stress. Where were these from?

ACE Beldias
We had some really hot 100+ days where they nearly desiccated. Could be my inexperience with outdoor growing but I let them go longer than usual just to test the resistance. People said online that they could be dry farmed but thats in an environment that gets rain… not in a drought laden parched landscape.

Hey so I found some Belinda genetics from khalifa genetics. I’m pretty sure it’s a hybrid based on the 7-9 week flower buts look and sound amazing. This is what I’m getting any thoughts? Looking for some honesty so you won’t offend me if you think it’s just some hybrid crap lol. I hope not but either way. Thanks all.

I’ve had my eye on that strain for a couple of years. I’ve never grown it but have plans to. I’ve watched a lot of his videos and he seems to really know his plants, this one in particular that he’s been working for awhile in repros and to breed out herms.
Yay so I’ve picked good thanks all! I’m kinda excited about his strain.

Looking at the pictures of the Khalifa version, It does look broader leaved. My leaves were hella thin.

I hope this is appropriate here, but I wanted to share my Fleur Du Mal- Ortega Mix plant, @Baudelaire said the first batch of them were all either straight Banana pheno Ortega x Ortega or African Sherbet x Ortega. African Sherbet is from Equilibrium Genetics and is a hybrid of Sunset Sherbet and African Orange, which is Agent Orange x Heirloom Malawi from Santa Cruz mountains. The one I have is doing some gnarly stacking and foxtailing that makes me wonder if this is the Malawi coming out?

Really nice looking buds!

You’ve got the pheno of the African Sherbet x Ortega Banana male there. What I’m calling Banana Sherbet now. And yes, the foxtailing late in flower is a Malawi trait. Enjoy, she’s going to be potent and delicious.

Amazing! That’s exactly what I was hoping for, it’s my first time with Malawi but I’ve seen that so far in Nigerian and Durban stuff and figured it might be African in the absence of Thai genetics. You’re a gentleman and a scholar, Mr. B420

This is last summers Khalifa Moroccan. 100% sativa. There is a super stretch at week 5-9 or 10, then flowers form. Started late April plants were harvested late August_ Early September. The listed flowering time does not include the stretch.
@420noob 2nd photo down is one of his fem Moroccan.
Weird lighting that day. Buds were not blue. Looks cool though!

Smell was amazing and unique. I actually didn’t smoke the nicest looking plant…the one with big buds…I pollinated several times and rain kept washing it off. I left it at peak flower, because some pollen finally took, but the plant died before any seeds finished. 
Same with the fem version. Left it for seeds that didn’t finish.
The last two plants pictured smoked good. My favorite had a quick potent up high. The other had some cbd in it. Neat plants. Highly recommended for anyone, especially those up North. Plan to pheno hunt for a thc dominant plant. I missed making seed with mine when I found it. Next time I’ll be sure to succeed. I’m still kicking myself.

It’s a 4 month plant regardless of light cycle. Like an autoflower it starts flowering ( the stretch phase) at 5 weeks old. The next 4 or 5 weeks are the stretch phase, then the actual flower making
