I’ve been posting updates (and will continue to) in the Landraces of India thread, but this season I did my first outdoor with a pair of sister plants from CS, the Malana Village sativa Hashplant reproduction from Old World Organics’ original (2012?) collection. I named them Malana Garage and Malana Pasture, based on where they’re growing. They’ve been absolutely bulletproof and delicious smelling (lemony hand wipes, purple grape juice, “hashy” but a bright one, and now it’s maturing to a complex floral that reminds me of the best DJ Short Flo that I’ve had, which is a particular favorite in effect and flavor for me.
I’m at 43N in central New England, inland and in a sunny river valley at just a few hundred feet of elevation. This is going on the roster every year now with how they have shrugged off the wind and rain we’ve had all summer, we were one of the ten wettest places in the country at one point a few months ago. Very little septoria to pick off, great open structure and unique stems that bend easily but refuse to snap, great recovery from supercropping and storm blows. A winner for backyard or guerilla in New England, I’d say.
I bet she’s perfectly happy in a swamp given how well Garage has done with very limited direct sunlight all year. She’s extended and reached in that way that says she’d just adapt to a filtered forest light situation and find the sunbeams to move and grow towards, the leaf phototropism seems quite fast to move towards shifting sun.
