Day 95F
The goo is really piling on A2. It is the gooiest plant i’ve ever grown. I will try to show this in photos. Temps are in mid 80s. It is very loud.

It is now day 100F
I upped the nutes a lil and they seem happier again. Really filling out and swelling with no amber around. The alcohol smells are back and something else I cant quite put my nose on… it isn’t so nice though… it is funky. The buds are forming interesting shapes on top while maintaining old school cali green with orange hairs on the bottom… frost monsters. Grow these if you have not. What Indica is 100 days? I’ve heard of Tashkurgan can go that long and there was another DLA someone chopped at 97 days and it wasn’t done yet. Maybe we are tapping into the earlier longer flowering indicas. I’m hoping nearly twice the flower time of most modern indicas will include many chemicals not usually found.
Smaller buds on a4 remind me of old school lime green stuff
Here are the tops. You can see that the buds themselves are really starting to jut out farther and farther by the week.
Filling in nicely…

After 100 days she still won’t give up the amber, thats wild.
Are you under 12/12 or 11/13?
I haven’t heard of that one before. Im curious now, also I didn’t know there was an earlier family of longer flowering indicas.

It is 12/12.
^^ tashkurgan information
I’ve read that the best head stash was the longer flowering varieties. Those have been phased out in favor of faster production or hybridization. I could only imagine also that there are long flowering indica plants and long flowering sativa plants.
With this many afghans in the mix, I just cannot be sure until I smoke it. I hope to explore other cultivars like Panjshir, Nangarhar and Lashgar in the future. I think there has been a lot of hybridization with what we consider a real unique landrace in most of these situations. I’m trying to find a pure indica and it is difficult because nearly all indicas have sativa in them also if you dig deep enough. This grow started BLD and now it is nearly NLD for instance.
Soon 15 weeks.

A couple days ago the smells coming off were like if you had a mixed drink in your hand and then just shit in it. They didn’t like the additional nutes so much but the trichs are really packing on. “two more weeks.”

My clip on fan fell down and snapped a branch from A4 beyond repair. I quick dried it in the oven and just smoked a joint. It tastes like the red life savers. Really good effects. Reminds me a lot of Kosher Kush. At first tingly in chest and body and then instant relaxation and mind calmness. I had been vaping blue dream and clementine earlier so my tolerance was really high today and it still is pushing through. The terps got baked off too. Very very smooth. Really smooth. Cant wait to finish them and get a proper dry and cure going.

How long are you taking her?!

The high I had from her the other day was really good and adequate but seemed early still. Kind of nice that even with no cure and unfinished, it is comparable to dispensary live resin kosher kush carts. I had a slight tinge of early headache feeling that has happened to me in the past when taken early. It also was more up than I want. What is so great about this is that it is still packing on trichomes. I have looked into the pics closely and the trichomes are swarming in new clusters as well as older ones that havent ambered but are there. I suppose crossing a bunch of hash plants would produce great hash… but the fact that it is so smooth to smoke is great as I worried it would taste like shit because of HP lineage. I am going until they start to amber. Their transpiration is really decreasing so that is a sign they are close.

Just harvested @ 120 days flowering. A couple of the tops were bleaching because it stopped taking in water so I cut em. They never ambered from what I saw.
Will keep updated on drying and curing and of course smoke report.

Man you were patient with them! Did you keep them at 12/12 or lower it towards the end?

Beautiful grow diary… I am curious how the dry/early cure is going? Thank you for sharing!
Also, do you plan on running the DLA 5.3 or SS023 this year? I am thinking to pop a few my next two runs (July / December) to see what’s within.

I have sampled them some and A2 is really good for asthma and relaxation. Not too much of a head high. A4 has more of a head high but it creeps up. I will be running SS023 in one tent starting in the next couple weeks and then the other tent I am not sure. I wanted to do DLA 5.3 but that’s a lot of hash plants in the past year and a half it has been all hash plants. Might grow Garlic Mints x Lavender Lemonade or Congo Kashmir x Wookie. Though seems like Garlicade and Divine Intervention would be good together since they’re both wookies and the DLA 5.3 and SS023 are both artifacts. What I really want to run is Synergy but I have one seed and not sure if it’ll pop.
This seems like the future runs for me in some order
Dream Beaver & Synergy
DLA 5.3 & SS023
Garlicade and Divine Intervention
Goji OG f1 and Snow Lotus F2
Wolf Pack x Cobra Lips and Yogi f3
Purple Unicorn f2 x 88g13hp and Cobra Lips f2

You were saying A4 was a bit sativa-like with its shape, compared to the shorter A2. Good to see the differences in this line.
Will be following what’s to come… all of the runs look great. I have been thinking about the Divine Intervention as I am one for that “meditation” high and it seems to have this trait.

That is what I like about Synergy and why I am considering it also. I do notice with A4 that my senses are heightened and it seems birds are chirping more and colors are brighter and crisper.
I have a buddy who grew divine intervention and it produced huge colas but he said he did not remember the effects. Maybe it depends on the pheno.
The one review on leafly.

That A4 sounds lovely! A great companion for a walk in nature. Thanks for the info.
