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)⌠but in my experience, Lebanese can also be prone to intersex traits. Though mine didnât show any, it certainly didnât make finding plants without hermie in the offspring any easier.
However, an afghan and a lebanese together is some kind of magic. Theyâre 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. Iâd 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.
Iâm 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, youâre 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. Iâd like to grow it again soon. Itâs such a cool hybrid.

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

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

Nice! Very cool. Iâve wanted to try that Ace Congo too. Even though it isnât pure, Iâm sure theyâve made it much easier to run indoors than that CPN youâre about to try. 
Iâve been interested in Congolese since I found a cross from Bodhi that I really liked. Iâve 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 Iâll be joining you pretty soon and picking one of those to try.

Ohhh indeed it was, I got so many sativa landraces that Iâm NOT looking forward to growing in my tent lol. Wish I could grow outside but canât 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! Iâd 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 folksâŚI cut down a small branch from my flowering Matanuska Thunder Head growâŚI will be camping at Illinois Beach State Park on 6/20/21 and I wanted to bring this MTH strain with me to smokeâŚItâs hang drying right now then Iâm gonna give it a quick cure before the camping trip. Canât wait to smoke/taste my creation.
