Kashmir POK Expansion 2024

Right. Suspected mosaic virus that came from Worcestershire’s original seeds, and was possibly passed on to me and my subsequent grows and distribution of the seeds.
If you got AK beans from me, back in 2021/2022(?) toss them. New clean ones will go out this summer.

Ok. The males have all gone off to the compost. Christ! What a mess they made!
I’m going to need to use a mop to clean out this tent!

But, I did collect a bunch of pollen! It is drying now, for freezing and later use.

The female is nice. Nice structure, a bit crowded, but no weird growth or undesirable traits otherwise.
She’s already forming seeds.

Very nice - any smells to speak of yet?

So far, I can’t tell but only because I’ve been super sick for the last 10 days or so. My nose is too stuffed to smell much of anything. Hopefully next week I’ll be back to normal

I’m sure you will! There’s only one but she definitely has a great structure. Potential for a nice cola here.

My sense of smell is starting to work again.

I checked the Kash female today. I’m getting smells that are very similar to my OHxONH female… the weird diesel, bowling alley wax smell, but the Kashmir has more burnt rubber mixed in. Sounds weird, but smells very interesting!

Sounds really nice - complexity is good!

Ok. Either my sense of smell is still improving, or the kashmir gal is getting stinkier (maybe both)
I noticed the stink as soon as I walked down to my grow room this afternoon.
She doesn’t give much on a stem rub, but if you pluck a leaf she reeks of diesel and burnt rubber!

No pics today, but an update on the Kashmir gal. She just went past the 6 weeks flower marker. She looks only about halfway to done, so at least 5 more to go (maybe 6)

I plucked off one very full looking seed pod today and cracked it open. The seed was already mature. :+1: I’m gonna let the seeds go all the way to the end, but if some start falling out I may need to shake them loose and collect some early.

As for smell. She absolutely reeks, just like I expect the Kashmir POK/Azad to smell. Burnt Rubber, Body Odor, Onions, Diesel… but with some interesting spice smells down underneath those first overpowering smells that hit your nose.

Really good stuff :tada:

No big updates. The female Kashmir POK is at week 8 of flower. Many seeds are now fully ripe, but some are still green ish.
She’s not the biggest/healthiest plant. I had to flush her last week because she was grumpy and showing signs of lockout.

She probably needs 3 more weeks to finish

Kashmir mom got chopped today.
I left some lower leaves and branches, to attempt a re-veg outdoors.

But even though she wasn’t fully “finished”, all her seeds were ripe, and I need the grow room emptied out (getting our house ready to sell)

Once the seeds have dried out for a couple weeks, I’ll do a quick germination test, and then put up a wiki here to start distributing them.

First batch of about 350 Kashmir seeds shucked and dried. Probably about 1000 more seeds still in the branches and buds to sift through next week…
