Agroecological guerrilla, in search of the True Brazilian Sativa

This week I received another gift, this time from @George

Thank you very much, it is my first international package !!! I am very happy!!! As soon as possible, I will donate beans, as I received them !!!

Heck yea :+1:t4: @Gugumelo

That’s a pretty cool way to send beans @George

One more update: 02/14

We had a week with the sun, relative humidity between 60 and 70%.

The treatments had an effect, the plants that last week were infested with mites, recovered well …

Today I applied guano, ash and EM + milk, to fortify …

I also cleaned lower branches …


this is the most advanced.

WOW que grow, eu ja fiz outdoor tambem mas nao tem nada a ver com indoor muitos problemas que temos fora nao sao os mesmos de dentro… Mas quando fazia fora era numa floresta aqui perto e ou animais comiam ou alguem arrancava quando encontrava…por isso tive de passar a indoor…

Hello guys, one more update:

The weather is dry, and the plants in area 1 were watered with guano and EM …

Here are some pictures:


Overview of area 1


Another plant advancing in flowering


This is a plant with curved leaves, unfortunately it proved to be hemaphrodite, and was harvested early.


Extremely thin buds with few leaves. I would like to cross there with an indica.


Another plant that is well loaded.


Detail of the bud…


Earlier plan …

Man, I share the same opinion, it’s very complicated to believe in variety names here …

I had seen the Paraguayan press report, the others had not, and to think that an herb planter from Paraguay brought seeds from Holland …

I have some plants in the guerrillas that look like they’re going to stretch a lot, let’s follow …

Imagine open pollination with 450,000 plants? Despite the poor selection, the number of plants can help to increase genetic variability …

I chose the most practical and simple treatment, I am using propolis and soap alternately …

There are many large plants, my back can no longer bear to carry much weight …

I’m fertilizing the soil with solid so that the rain will help me a little … I’m also removing the yellow leaves and watching infestations …

This is it for now, we follow

I think the reason people in other countries might have Brazilian genetics, while Brazilian people find it hard to find them, is that people value what they don’t have the most. I’m in indica land, so I cling onto pure sativas like I’m holding onto a cliff. It’s very possible that someone went to Brazil, for vacation, and scored some very tiller tropical weed, and held onto it for the rest of their life. That’s the story with old-timer in the UK. He’s the only person I know of that kept the original Haze with all its genetic diversity, all the way up at 50 latitude… why did he keep it all these years? Because he knew that if he ever let it go he might not ever see it again. People that loves to Tebow’s are smart enough to figure out that if they want to keep enjoying them, they have to be responsible for supplying themselves with seed. The old expression, you don’t know what you had until it’s gone comes to mind. Brazilians were probably tired of smoking only sativas, which they had been smoking since around 1810 or longer. Once hybrids hit the scene, everybody wanted them. The landrace takes a backseat. The Growers, the one to supply the weed in Brazil, are generally doing it for profit. Being able to grow three different crops instead of one manga Rosa crop seems like a no-brainer if you’re out to make money. I don’t know if I have the original manga Rosa or not. The flowering times that I have been told I can expect are spot-on. 18 to 26 weeks.
As far as the pernambuco red, certainly sounds like a hybrid between a red variety and pernambuco gold. Colombia and Brazil do grow weed, and border each other, so it makes sense that some genetics would be swapped especially in Border regions. I doubt it is a landrace, but it could be an old heirloom. I don’t know if anybody has plans to grow my manga Rosa or not this year, but I’m looking forward to seeing it grown.

Those are all looking really nice! Definitely a sativa structure, with some nice looking buds too! Holding up to the westher well too. I meant to tell you, I’ll be happy to send you some of that seed mix I was talking about in the other thread.

I am crazy about open pollinated plants :crazy_face::crazy_face: … Regardless of the period necessary for cultivation … I can leave the guerrillas indefinitely, my problem is the availability of this genetics.

@Upstate are your seeds open pollinated?

This season, I fumbled, I planted 350 seeds, of these 70 were selected by me and by nature … Today I have 40 plants and I continue to monitor the hemaphrodites …

I have a male almost open, who survived the transplant, and I still intend to pollinate some plant in order to fulfill my mission, find and not lose the Brazilian sativa again.

For this I germinated many plants and very early. They are reaching 4 meters, I will have to take a ladder to make props …

I had problems with hemaphrodites, I am reviewing my procedure to identify a problem at the birth stage, I knew the risk I was taking …

The crossing between 2 landraces should generate offspring with uniform phenotypes, so they will be “identical” to the parents, 50% of each. There would be no mess of genes that would generate many plants very different from each other. Is it right?

I don’t know what environmental conditions Colombia Gold grows in, but Aracaju Red grows in a dry climate in Flowering, low humidity throughout the cycle, little variation in photoperiod …

It would be interesting to cross there with something more adapted to humidity, photoperiod, and others. The plant would have more alternatives to thrive in another environment.

Before, I thought that if I had a plant with special genetics, I could make seeds forever. After studying a little, I saw the crap that are the improvements, thinking about the genetic variability.

Thanks for everyone’s contribution …
Not being alone makes a big difference …
