My oaxacan had numerous amber trichomes which surprised me having assumed they would go to Nov
I should have been checking them more often

Thanks amigo! If it smokes as good as it looks and as it smells then Iāll be super happy!
Iām excited to have finished something like this that I used to only read and drool over!

Iāve enjoyed your posts and your exellent pictures on the threadā¦ye you should be pretty proud of yourselfā¦the learn curve in growing Sativas and landraces is a great journey and pretty hardcore compared to modern fast and auto strains.
This is a great group and I certainly improved my growing thanks to the knowledge from the great guys and girls on this thread.
And our dear leader Upstate who is a fine example of what Iām talking about.
Keep the posts and fotos coming.
Regards

Here hereā¦ Thanks for the kind words. I couldnāt agree more about the people on this thread and I wouldnāt have pulled this off without the help from everyone here, yourself included.
@romanoweed good luck on the search for the sierra madre.

Good to know about Moliotiko. Resistance noted.
How late did the Turkish go? Heartbreaker the main cola partially rotted but truthfully for an Indica in Switzerland thatās not so bad at all. At least you were able to save the lower half.
I started topping all my Indicas to decrease top cola size. It does help a bit.

I had read that Oaxaca can be harvested at the end of October in the states at lower latitudesā¦but really didnāt believe that. It was one of the reasonās Mexican strains were so popular in early breeding. With some work even Northern growers had a chance of it finishing in November. Seeing is believing they say, but still, I am surprised it ripened so quick. Perhaps because of the seeds?
That must be a bit discouraging to grow a sativa and have it smoke like an Indicaā¦donāt give up on it!

That looks like some fantastic smoke! I highly encourage you to freeze some fresh,as some strains lose that racy edge after a cure. ( if you like the raciness, that is )
I look forward to your next selectionš whatās on the menu?
@Panamajock this thread would be nothing without the participation of good peeps like you. You ALL are what make this thread special. Its home.

I prefer 8 medium sized tops to 3 big ones because that way if you run into problems you can just cut off the problem area and keep going. Itās just a training thing.

she has a lot of dead pistils, this round I had some problems and I had to move the plants from the trellis netting. But itās just the pistils, the rest of the plant is fine and getting fat.

Agree, Iāve used the freezer, wrapped it in aluminum foil with the bag and throw it in there. It retains the original high longer than the fridge.
Amazing that Oaxacanā¦ cross that to baalbek lebanese and you have a great AG reproduction maybe, since the plants were smuggled into Guerrero, Acapulco Iām not really sure what was crossed into those Baalbek Lebanese.
That sure is high suspect with that color. Definitely a solid breeder @Upstate upstate Iād want in my crosses.
Iām running Swami IBL Oaxacan, I got the vial unmarked when I got it.
Doing some test flowering on little ones. Iām not 100% itās Oaxacan but tends to lean that way looking at it.

Thatās a special Oaxaca plant for sure. My all time favorite plant. Favorite high. Favorite to look atā¦Favorite taste.
You have a pure different Oaxaca maybe?
I think its in Oaxacan. Its in this one and in Huixtepec imo. Long long time ago. Brought to Guerrero in the 1830ās. All thatās left is the cedar/ pine taste and some short phenotypes that remind me of Lebanese in stature. The high is all Sativa and so is the flower time in each instance. Does not at all seem like a recent addition but both Oaxaca and Huixtepec have midgetsā¦in containers anyway. Almost no stretch in flower for the short phenos. I would bet this trait comes from the Lebanese. Iāve come across no other Sativa on earth with these phenotypes. I currently have a 20 week flowering midget going now. Still in veg for some size next flowering.

Iām growing them out now the Oaxacan, take me a bit to see how it turns out. The Baalbek Lebanese also had a cedar pine taste. Be cool to match the two strains.
Iām hunting Baalbek Lebanese and hopefully Iāll find it.

Thanks @Upstate !
It dried quicker than normal but I think I caught it before over dried and itās curing now. Buzz is up in the head; my first thought was āoh yeah, this isnāt the dispensary āsativaāā¦.ā up in my head and alert but ripped at the same time. Just what I was looking forā¦
Whatās next - I decided to take up a snowhigh sativa hybrid seed run - quicksilver.
Iām not sure if I ran another pure sativa outside right now if it would finish before spring so I think Iāll do the MichoacĆ”n x TorreĆ³n next seasons outdoor in the spring.
I have a friend with a backyard who may be able to run something over winter as an experiment, Iāll have to check and see if they are interested.

@Upstate @GregOG when you guys mention throwing a n the freezer to retain the high, are you putting it in the freezer when itās fresh like a fresh frozen style and then drying after it comes out, or do you dry and the. Freeze when it hits your desired dryness level? If itās the second option, do you also cure it a bit before freezing?
Im curious to try and it would be fun to play with although Iām not sure how the wife will take seeing buds in the freezerā¦

Dried first then maybe a 2 week cure or so then into the freezer @Elpolloloco. Make sure it smokes to your liking before freezing.
