@ClassicGenetix sent me Da Lat seeds from @YoBigdaddy so I could run them to produce more seeds. We started with 7 seeds, 5 successfully germinated. Provided we have males and females, the hope is to allow them to pollinate and also cross to Zang! (Vietnam Black (164 kiona cut) x A5 Haze/Thai bx) and Lemon Thai F5 from Doc D. I’ve also got some of the pollen from 10 males collected by @YoBigdaddy that I’ll throw in the mix.
These are from seeds that were collected by a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War who returned in 2004 to find the farm off which he had the most amazing high of his life during the war. The seeds he collected wound up with Snowhigh and he produced a few packs, which OG members acquired and reproduced. Snowhigh now has some crosses from Da Lat on his menu, which suggests there’s special stuff in these genes.
From my reading of the thread, this will be a 3rd generation reproduction from Snowhigh’s seeds.
Germinated February 10th, the 5 were transplanted into 2x 100 gallon beds, 3 plants in one bed, 2 plants in the other. The Zang! and Lemon Thai will each get their own 100 gallon bed. I have a perpetual flower room, so these beds are on wheels and will be transported to begin flower in about a month.
The Zang! and Lemon Thai were germinated about 10 days earlier, so they’re ahead and have not yet gone into 100s.
These are the bed stands that I build to make 100s mobile. They are built to 29" wide, but the beds are 36" diameter cylinders when filled, so the walls on two sides allow me to squish the bed into an oval shape so that I can roll it through 29" wide doorways.
Things often go wrong, so here’s hoping for a clean run with abundantly healthy plants.
