Here’s a couple of @slain 's Thai x VN Black grown outdoor a little closer to home! I ‘believe’ he told me these (and many other SEA strains) have been grown in Aus since the days that’s all they could get! I loved growing these but I’m gonna have to experiment with my mixes more… not sure if I gave 'em too much or too little! I’ve been so busy growing all the great OG hybrids I’ve been receiving from folks here, but I’m getting sick and tired of constantly fighting w/mold w/2 monsoon seasons every year! So, the “Sativa Switch” is on and these (and some Original Haze) were the start of things! We had a couple small buds mold, but they stayed isolated from the rest of the buds and just dried out. I’ve tried a puff of it fresh, but can’t wait to try a little cured! I made f2’s (well, f2’s under my hands anyway) as well as crossed them w/ some Giant Goji OG’s and I think I even got 5-7 Original Haze x (Thai x VN Black) beans. The next generation(s) are just flowering now!

Looks pretty that Thai.
It’s a pity that you have so many problems with the rH. Here is a very humid place also, but the winds that arrive here are very strong and dry. I was a couple weeks with rH >95%, but two sunny days and some wind, and it dropped to 65-70%.

Your OH was impressive also, so your cross of OHxTVN will probably be amazing!

Have you tried yet the HClO?

Keep the good work, and relax a little man! :rofl:

Yeah, bummer about the humidity, but I’m an outdoors guy! Just gotta keep on keepin’ on! Yes, I have a hypoclorious acid generator and it works great, but I need gallons of the stuff! Mine is only 300 ml at a time! I’m looking into a deal on a 1 gallon-at-a-time unit! Now with that and my gas-powered backpack fogger I might be able to get a handle on things!

Bhadra B was the Female that stayed with us. Here she is, Day 60 in Flower with some aggressive bending, early in the program.
This Gem is a busy plant lately; stretch is ON
Thanks again @Budderton & @iceman

Hey @MissinBissin . I’m relieved to hear you smacked that PM down. The tropicals are looking good, my pleasure to pass those beans along from iceman.
Best of luck with the rest of your run.

I missed this. Red everything apparently. Red buds. Red hairs, even heard of Red leaves, which would suggest a Kandahar Indica was involved at one time. The pink hairs is a modern thing so far as I know. I haven’t heard about them if its part of 70’s lore. Magenta is a color I’ve often heard associated with the stigmas…edit***.and looky here…I just Googled magenta, thinking it was one color. I guess not, lol. This is why Women should never have been put in charge of naming colors​:rofl::sweat_smile::joy::rofl:. Its far too complicated now. Ocean Breeze is not a color, ladies :grin:! ( my wife bought " ocean breeze" for our living room. I came home to purple​:rofl:( she thought it was in the brown family)i teased her mercilessly…and we STILL have to deal with it. She asked " why is this purple"? “Because my dear”, I replied. “Ocean Breeze is not a color. If it had said light purple, we would not have bought it”. Lol. All in good fun.

Interesting study I stumbled across that may be interesting for some to look into:

http://www.brockwell-bake.org.uk/docs/landrace_selection_1.pdf

Here’s an excerpt:

“It appears that with increasing age of the farmer and his
wife more landraces were maintained. For instance,
three farmers younger than 30 years maintained an
average of 5.0 landraces, 12 farmers being 30 to 60
years old kept 6.2 landraces, and 30 farmers older than
60 years maintained 6.8 varieties (Soleri & Cleveland,
1993). The difference may not be statistically signi-
ficant, but the figures may indicate a trend. They may
either indicate that, as a dying-out relic, i.e. the older
farmers still maintain more landraces than younger
ones. Or when a farmer becomes older he enjoys to
maintain more landraces, whereas the younger farmer,
probably, is not (yet) seeing the point of growing many
landraces.” <<could also be that landraces are easier to maintain and require less fertilizer

So thanks to @Cbizzle, I grew me some polyhybrid auto pollen I’m using on another project. I tossed it on these Namkading landrace specimens and it went extremely well! A bunch of fat seeds everywhere. I just wanted a few but always go overboard.

You’re welcome bud. I’m about to soak some Mango Smile x Super Orange Haze from you. Tag you when I do!

Just from the subtle early smells, it’s kind of like rose-soap and bubblegum scented rain-water. It’s early though… smells always seem to change.
