. Dang! Awesome! Thats not easy. I did landrace Malawi in small pots last winter and never had so many hermies before. Surely thats the reason she hermed. I’m glad it ( nanners) was manageable for you anyway. One gallon pot. Smh in amazement

I don’t find leaf resin on most Sativa heirlooms or landraces. If i do see a good amount it gives me pause about purity. Generally speaking only hashplants and hybrids have leaf resin.

Where was that one from?
Great insight, makes sense.
Thanks brotha

That one was from Dankest Africa in South Africa. It’s Malawi Red stem, best i can tell. Very strong Pine smell. Very stretchie plants, even in small pots.

Verry cool to see people still running these 
Am I mistaken in thinking the Old Vibes line is originally from reggae singer Bushman?
I know some people would shake their head at this comment, but I’d love to turn these into an auto.

it’s a tough plant for an indoor grower, but desirable for smoke. I need a better strategy. How many different phenos are you getting from this line, is it a wide range or mostly similar flower times and structure/effects?

I had 2 phenos. One minty, one Mango. 2nd generation mint was predominant. 1st generation it was mostly mango. There are 8 other lines, so surely more variety to be found @MikeyMeteor

Micro smoke report
Scents are muted in the jar.
Flavor is hard to describe, not much sweetness but not bitter either. No fermented mangos scents anymore. Has a slight basement musky taste on the backend.
Effects feels like Malawi Gold but only slightly more powerful. A more immediate onset, felt in the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. Slight forehead sweats as she creeps up on you. Very cerebral type effects. Light seems are brighter, Energetic after a couple pokes.
Look forward to trying her again in December when I crack the jar again. She should benefit from a long cure. Hopefully the fermented mango scent comes back.

Oh great, another bud structure to obsess over until I can get my grubby mits on the strain (great pic)

Have you seen the ‘string of pearls’ pheno yet?

yes! that’s the main obsession right now! I’ve been digging through threads, messaging people showing off home made strains with the phenotype, especially the autos. it’s hard to enter people’s dms looking to buy seeds without sounding like a dirty little beggar though. “pweeasee spare some genetics”

I’ve been tracking that one as well…
From what I know, that pheno popped up as a secondary pheno on the initial Barney’s Farm Dr. Grinspoon release. Various grow reports suggest that the pheno was absent or very rare in the following releases. That suggested a rare recessive gene to me.
Last year, there were a couple documented grows showing the pheno in what were probably related strains. One was SE Asian but the other was South American (I think…).
Yeah… that’s on my bucket list…

I remember dr. grinspoon from amsterdam it was killer smoke too at the time (along with widow and jack and hazes). Lambsbread bud looks nice I have popped two more, see you in half a year if they make it. Curious of the smoke report and balance of paranoia or if smooth?

Its really smooth for me. Curious to hear what @InTheWoods reports after a cure. I’m finding I like probably at least half of the land races with no cure at all better than with a cure. Strange.

Now that the plant is finally flowering you might want to get a cutting. Once it’s rooted you can skip all of that veg time and it will start flowering rather quick round 2…but Hopefully you get a tester this time
