Mex Haze

Ace Haze/Malawi/Panama

I didnā€™t turn down the lights, so they look more yellow than they are. But theyā€™re starting to shoot up, showing the 3-finger leaves that are representative of Aceā€™s Malawi at this point (if I remember correctly).

The mexican haze is finally starting to go somewhere. Iā€™ve transplanted it, and put it into flowering with the rest.

Panama Haze

Iā€™m also going to try the @PoppaPuff method of cloningā€¦ well almost. Going to try a little juice of TM7/Kelp, with a few drops of dip n grow and see if it takes. Good time to experiment. Weed doesnā€™t seem to grow any faster when youā€™re self-isolatingā€¦ might cut another sprig and try with just RO water and dip n grow.

I try and not submerge more than an inch tops of stem. Even less. No expert but just what i do

Ok cool. It was pretty close to an inch, but I pulled it up a little more. I need to have something covering the top, or itā€™ll dry out pretty fast here. Neoprene collar has a dual function! :+1:

Yeah. I had to sprinkle a few drops of water in the last one twice. I also try to never move the plant at all I dont think it makes a diff. But I put it in a place that nobody would touch. Just under ambient household lighting

Mex Haze

NMP (Nev haze / Malawi / Panama)

I think this will be the week of sexying. I anticipate that by this time next week, I should have counts on males and females. Glad I persevered on the mex haze, and didnā€™t give up on it. Very sluggish start, but not itā€™s starting to shake it off.

Having some trouble getting my Panama Haze to clone, but Iā€™ll work it outā€¦ I found mold growing on one of my clones. Iā€™m not sure where it came from, but I bleached my whole humidity dome and felt liner. Threw out the old ones and took some new clones off the mom.

@PoppaPuff no signs of roots yet on either of the ones Iā€™ve put into water cups. I think today is day 7, so hopefully I get some action soon. Do you get bumps on the stems or anything before the roots form? Iā€™m not sure I see anything on the stems yet.

I just sort of check it every few days. Yeah sometimes it has a little brown spot first

Panama Haze should root well. Usually takes 5 to 10 dats for me.

Good to see you here old man!

Iā€™ve been having trouble rooting it recently, though I didnā€™t before. I think Iā€™m having some kind of mold issues in my basement or something. Despite cleaning out my humidity dome with bleach, I keep finding it growing on my rooting cubes and infecting parts of my clones.

It might be coming from my DWC hydro garden that I setup for my personal COVID relief. I think there is some kind of mold growing on some of the roots. Iā€™m not sure if it could carry across the basement to where my grows areā€¦

Perhaps itā€™s time for me to clean it and bleach all the floors down there.

Just a heads up here ā€“

Iā€™m going to start regularly offering up pollen to whoever wants it. I run a lot of males and itā€™s very easy to ship.

In a few weeks (3-4 weeks probably), I should have a nice pile of pollen from Nevilleā€™s Malawi/Panama (what Iā€™m calling the Ace hybrid Iā€™m running now). Genetics are Nevilleā€™s Haze/Malawi x Malawi/Panama.

If interested, holla.

Still no roots via the water method.

Two more clones developed black/brown mold on the rooting cubes in 3 damn days. Iā€™m about to flip my shit if I canā€™t root this thing soon.

I suspect my rooting cubes have mold spores in the package. So Iā€™m went hardcore on them. I boiled all of the cubes, and now Iā€™m bubbling them in a mixture of recharge, VAM and SCD with a little molasses. Iā€™m going to get those things so loaded out with beneficials that there wonā€™t be anywhere for the mold to go. Godspeed little beasties.

I just need two damn cuts off this plant to rootā€¦

I feel your pain Ive been trying to root a cut of runtz before I flower the mom and they will not root under any conditions so far. I have rooted several other strains in the same conditions and the runtz refuses.

Well, now itā€™s been 2 weeks of these PH clones sitting in water. Theyā€™re still pretty happy and look almost like day 1, but no roots! Hopefully my boiled, inoculated rooting cubes will do the trick. I also put a portable hepa filter near the tent in the basement. Sometimes I forget how frustrating cloning can be.

Nevilleā€™s Malawi Panama

Mex Haze

Starting to get some balls forming on the males. Females are mostly starting to show and prepping themselves to stretch. I topped most plants over the past two days. Pollen should start to drop in about a week. In about 3 weeks, Iā€™ll be done with my pollen collection and pollination. Should be ready to send it out after that.

Mex haze is about a week behind still. Sheā€™s pretty compact so far. Not especially narrow leaves on any of these, which is not a surprise. In part, the nevilles haze influence, but also Aceā€™s Panama and Malawi donā€™t start with especially narrow leaves. That ought to change as they move into adulthood.

Iā€™m going to hydrate my coco with boiled water today, because I have nothing better to do and Iā€™m sick of the fungus gnats. After that, fems will go into their 1 gallon pots. I might also cull a female and perhaps a male. One of the females has a bit of chimera foliage. Cool but :skull_and_crossbones:

New pots today, and culling the semi-chimera. I probably have more than Iā€™ll finish, but I need to see them growing for at least a few more weeks before I can decide.

You know whatā€™s interesting is alot of people talk about the thin leaved varieties from Mexico but when I was a youth we would grow out brick weed seed and more often then not they were short fat leaved 9-13 finger having bushes. Your Mex looks similar with the fat leaves just something I think about from time to time.

I think Acapulco gold is the only pure Mexican strain Iā€™ve grown. But youā€™re right, and I know that Oaxaca and MichoacĆ”n strains are both not very narrow leaved. If youā€™ve grown out more, Iā€™d be curious to hear what you think might be when it gets a little more developed.

Which Acapulco gold did you grow ? I grew the Dr Greenthumbs Acapulco gold many years ago. Electric sweet buds but as you said: a bit wide leaves that narrow as the flowering goes.

Nice pics :slight_smile:
