Congrats on getting that one to the finish line @Dirt_Wizard !! It was a beautiful plant and I’m sure it’ll make truly “exotic” smoke! Happy harvest!!

Awesome! Was the light purple plant finished completely too? Or were you beating the rain/ cold front? Any close ups of that one will be greatly appreciated. She looks potent.

@Upstate I think she was finished, they both looked decently senescent and could have surely gone another week or two without harm, but I was definitely trying to beat the wet week we just started, tons of rain and our first frost coming too. I said good enough, she’s definitely sparkling like a ripe plant and I do want to make sure and preserve an up head on this, since that’s what I promised the person who’s getting most of this plant.
I will be in the garage later trimming and I’ll snap some more photos for you of the lighter purple girl. She’s the one on the right in the far back, everything on the pole is Malana Pasture, she really went for it! Even topped and tied out sideways in partial sun she still got a center cola a full 12’ up there!

Nice to see a Trimbak going! Awesome! 
Killer structure on this one. An old family heirloom from Shiv’s friends family. Goes back 3 generations I think.

The first is a Meghalay phenotype with narrow, rather thin and long leaflets. (its leaflets remind me of Buthan, paró) the internode of this meghalay is shorter than that of the other phenuses. Seems like a more Thai phenotype, influenced by Buthan
Other phenotipes,
specimens of more Thai influence, Manipur, Bhutan, with thin leaves and shorter entenudos go on to a Himalayan influence with wide leaflets and long internodes. (similar to Uttarkhand or Nanda devi)

Thank you very much @upstate, for the help with your great knowledge about the origin of the varieties and their ancestry. It is always good to have such powerful people in our environment, it is good to understand the genetics that each line contains, the basis for isolating representative phenotypes such a polyphenotypic line and with such genotypic diversity.

@Elchischas Recent package, yes. I think he has started catching up. I’ve been in touch with him.
@PineTarBastard have you heard from him yet?

I just got 24 Kalifa Genetics Chellakutti, in the mail today. It will be a while before theyre grown, but am happy to have them.
18-25 weeks flowering, and a huge stretch. Ive been told 8-10 times stretch. Best to start them 11/13, but for the first week after they pop, Ill have them on 24/7. Just to get them blasted with light when the first come up. They will be grown under 1000w HID, from seedlings on. Ive always used a 1000w HID for seedlings, ever since they came out with HID/Halide, in 1977-78… Still deciding if it will be 1000w Hortilux Blue, or 1000w Hortilux HPS. Ive been using the Hortilux HPS for decades, but the Blue, is closer to the spectrum, of the sun. The best indoor stuff I ever smoked, was with a regular 1000w Halide. Back in the 90s. NL5 x Haze x Nevils Hashplant x Sk1. Many didnt like it because it was so strong, and made more than a few people Ill, after they smoked it. Blow your lungs out. I plan on breeding a Kerala female, or 2, to a Crickets and Cicada Pacific Northwest Hashplant x Puck/NL1 BC2-F2 Male, and a Puck BC3 Male. I got the PNWHP-Puck/NL1 BC2 -F2 from fellow forum member NWSun. The Puck BC3 came from C&C. Both the Kerala, and C&C gear are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and should make outstanding crosses. F1 of totally different genetics, usually makes for outstanding, and true F1 hybrids.

You better use that blue spectrum bulb to keep the height down. You’ll have a tree under HPS. A bigger tree😁
Nice score. I had chelakutti seeds in my hand last night. So tempted to dunk them!

Got to get trimming that Malana today so I rolled up a big spliff with a jar of the small buds that fell off in trimming fans and got collected. Found it when I was cleaning the other day in that area and now I’m halfway through this joint. Pretty nice smoke by now, not nearly as rough as the samples were, though this stuff lost the terps with the speed dry. Effects are definitely sativa, resin on the paper is surprising me considering I put in some Peter Stokkebye Danish Export and these were the airiest bottom buds. I’m not speeding up like my C99 or Durban do, this is pretty mellow sativa like the breeder description, different than most. I feel nice and clear like colors are getting brighter and images are sharper, this would be very good smoke for meditative activities like walking or making things. I’m definitely looking forward to trying the fat tops now as ganja while making hash out of these tiny loose bottoms, trimming this into the grinder was a lot of little leaf and stem removal to get a few sparse calyxes but at least they’re frosty!
The rolling tobacco pouch is a game changer, by the way. As a joint smoker I love it because I’ll toss a preroll tube full of ground weed with extra kif into the fold and then some bigger papers and stuff cotton paper filter bits in the zip pocket with a mini Bic, instant tobacco and weed rolling setup on the go!
I like the way the Dutch or Danes look at tobacco where they don’t trust it if they don’t look at it before smoking, I feel that way about preroll joints!
This one was a gift from a woman years ago I think she bought it in Turkey, with the hamsa hands on it. You can get all sorts of ones on Etsy for cheap though.

I’m actually planning to start making these and other smoker accessories soon and gotta find out what sponsorship costs here are like, I think it’s great that folks like @Baudelaire and @Ris and other folks I’m probably forgetting here are sponsors and sell non-seed things, I love our breeder sponsors but OG is a little sparse on maker/manufacturer sponsors both small and large compared to some other sites and I think we could change that! :impassioned rant over:

I go back and forth between the Danish/Copenhagen lighter blend and the halfzwaar Amsterdam. I got too old for the dark stuff! Used to be a Drum smoker when poor, Stokkebye when I had the money. Now I mostly vape nic salts but still love a hand roll sometimes, and some weed just demands a bit of spliffy, I think landraces in particular benefit IME. Some Durban Poison and tobacco in a DLX paper (halfway between a 1 1/4 and King Size Slim) is my current morning smoke with coffee (thanks @Guitarzan for this awesome DP Durban repro, it hits the button for me real well).
