real pretty. she started that color or just turned as aged? ive been thinking of lowering my room temp so I get some color change maybe.

No doubt about it. A stunning plant.
It triggers late in flowering. I used the black afghani from USC. That is the one that had hermie traits in the line. Also the black color seems to be recessed, so I figured it would probably be heterozygous. I crossed it to the black lebanon, which does turn jet black (except only on the leaves, with more lemon-lime colored stems)ā¦ but in my experience, Lebanese can also be prone to intersex traits. Though mine didnāt show any, it certainly didnāt make finding plants without hermie in the offspring any easier.
However, an afghan and a lebanese together is some kind of magic. Theyāre like a perfect pair for a hashplant to grow indoors. If you take the more sativa traits and branching structure of the Lebanese with the strength and density of a good afghan, they complement very well. The terps on this one were really unique and loud. I loved smoking it.

How often are you seeing the jet black expression Lefty?

I only finished 2 females after weeding out hermies, but they were both jet black. Iād expect 50% though, but it could be higher.

Very interesting. Thank youfor sharingthe information. If seeds ever become available I would love to grow them.
Iām going to open up the ac vent in my room and see about dropping the temp off a bit. I already see reds in my cookie Devil. Hopefully I can get them to deepen. Previous @Mr.Sparkle strain was a dark spark purple phenom that was just beautiful.

Looks like you have more of the afghan looking traits showing up. Looks great! I wonder if there might not be a fair spectrum of unexplored terp profiles in that cross. Unique and tantalizing smells in the ones I grew.

Yep, youāre spot on. That one is definitely leaning toward the Afghan side. I think the black afghani leaf shape is very distinctive. The male I had that was good was fortunately leaning toward the Lebanese, so I think the F2s I have to hunt through should still have good variety. Iād like to grow it again soon. Itās such a cool hybrid.

Great looking crosses! I like the genetics youāre growing. How was that Congo?

Thanks! Got a bunch of others Iām going to be running soon, with mostly landraces.
The Congo is from ACE, so technically itās not a pure Congo line but it grew really well. High resistance to everything with a grapey flavor that I canāt quite shake in many of the crosses Iāve done with it, as well as the tendency for them to go full purple in flower. So strong genetics Iād say. I just copped some Congo Pointe Noir, which is pure.
You interested in growing out some Congo?

Nice! Very cool. Iāve wanted to try that Ace Congo too. Even though it isnāt pure, Iām sure theyāve made it much easier to run indoors than that CPN youāre about to try. 
Iāve been interested in Congolese since I found a cross from Bodhi that I really liked. Iāve been collecting a few that I want to try out pretty soon, Congo Pointe Noire is one, and also a few Congo from RSC and Congo Black IX reproduced from SnowHigh. So hopefully Iāll be joining you pretty soon and picking one of those to try.

Ohhh indeed it was, I got so many sativa landraces that Iām NOT looking forward to growing in my tent lol. Wish I could grow outside but canāt trust anyone not to steal my shit if I did.
Well I got about 20 or more of the Pointe Noir so if you ever see me post about growing them or see me on IG (I follow you I believe), just ask and I can send you some too! Iād likely only have room to grow 5 at a time, maybe 10 if I only grew that strain out and nothing else.

Ok, I cheated folksā¦I cut down a small branch from my flowering Matanuska Thunder Head growā¦I will be camping at Illinois Beach State Park on 6/20/21 and I wanted to bring this MTH strain with me to smokeā¦Itās hang drying right now then Iām gonna give it a quick cure before the camping trip. Canāt wait to smoke/taste my creation.
