Odisha D - Only been feeding water but still angry.
I think i may have stressed her our to the point of herming.
Odisha B - little happier but I’d love to get her happier.

Yeah, looks like some male flowers. It was the shot of high N that did it, so it could snap back into 100% fem mode. You wouldn’t want to breed with it, but if you pick the male flowers off for the next two weeks It might be good to go after that and at least you could smoke it. @InTheWoods

Do you see the male flowers on both or just plant D?
Copy that.
Well that’s a bummer but a learning experience as a first attempt. My greenthumb must get greenier 
I’ll start plucking but if I get overrun, I will have to chop as since I don’t want that pollen hitting the other ladies in the tent.

I’d incinerate it instantly and any seeds made from it.

No doubt. If they grow back you’ll have to yank it. Fingers crossed! Make sure you pluck the base of that male flower clump, or you won’t get all of the flowers.
Just the one plant that I saw.
No doubt keeping a hermaphrodite can be stressful and or stupid. You definitely need to remain vigilant to avoid any accidental pollen spillage. After growing so many sativas, they don’t even make me nervous anymore. There’s actually several different kinds of hermies. Some you have to kill and others you can work with. Stress hermies are different than true hermies. This looks like a stress hermie so far, but mixed male/ female flowers like that in the same flower are a red flag if no stress occurred to make it happen.

I like that for D. Not trying to play around with my smoke run. Its unfortunate but will most likely be the best option.

Appreciate the offer but I will pass as I will be taking a different direction into landraces. I’m going to explore some Kilimanjaro.

Google gives inaccurate information for Malana. Temps are 25 Celsius daytime and 7-8 Celsius at night. My friend Grover Shivam is there now, So this is one hundred percent confirmed accurate information. I just talked to him a minute ago. Plants are late this year due to all the rain but they are extra large.

What an incredible field report! And those numbers were looking sketchy to me at a second look recently. Thanks for giving us this update from Shivam, @Upstate ! I recognize those bottom fan leaves!

The Himalayas are AMAZING. I bet the trout fishing is superb.

I’d be very much interested in some Odisha pollen if you still don’t mind parting with them. Will happily trade you something in exchange!

Malana Garage is getting chunky! Gonna see Pasture tonight and I’ll grab some photos at dusk or dawn
My cool Dad neighbor (who runs a wholesale mushroom growing substrate business) asked me the other day if he and his wife can have some and I was like “dude of course, you can have some from my basement if you want, you know I keep plenty aroind” but he’s mostly really curious after watching this one grow over the fence so he can see it every day from his back porch as he drinks coffee and talks into his phone headset about train cars and pallets of pellets.

I can’t believe i’m looking at a finished malana at my latitude. That’s great. Beautiful plant. I hope she smokes as good as she looks! Dad’s going to love this one!

@Upstate Dad is gonna and so am I! Definitely going to end up with a nice stash of buds and hash from this one, and if we dry sift instead of bubble, I might run that through some alcohol for topicals, I figure heirlooms probably have higher medicinal value for that and I wouldn’t mind having a big stash of salves or at least tincture to make them with.
I can’t believe it either, I know we’ve been having an unusually warm fall, and maybe it’s just survival vigor in the genetics after making it through the wet season, but it’s unbelievable how fast she keeps flowering.
Definitely gotta give her a good shower later in the day and next week when I get back, the neighbor is having a mason do work, and the stone dust from grinding is drifting over occasionally, but that’s just life. Nothing a good heavy soapy fogging won’t take care of! The forecast is still looking just dandy for a few weeks more of flowering, I’m hoping we make it to early-mid November before the regular heavy frost comes.
