The Central American landrace and heirloom thread (Part 2)

So to do a quick sex check is it 2 days in dark or 2 days in flower? Thanks

That sounds really nice @rasterman! Makes me anxious to dip into mine once itā€™s cured a bit.

Looking forward to see how those Guatemalanā€™s grow @TexasTea. How old are those seeds and did you have any germination issues?

Hey @Motaco sheā€™s currently at 7.5 weeks flower and has a very fragrant sweet orange candy like smell, itā€™s very inviting. Flowers are pretty fluffy and airy so not sure if itā€™s just the current environment or if that is normal for her. The branches are starting to flop over so I can tell Iā€™ll have to do some staking when I grow her again outdoors. I did clip a branch a couple days ago and just letting it dry up a bit before sampling.

I did reverse one of the clones using STS and was able to get a little bit of pollen to dust this flowering one. I do see a few small seeds starting to form but they seem to be developing a little slower than what I usually observe. If Iā€™m able to get any seeds Iā€™m happy to send some back to you if you donā€™t mind fems.

I grew one female this past fall and she was a beast. Nothing fussy about the grow either. Chopped her on Nov 6th. Iā€™ve only smoked it a couple times so far and although I had been mixing a little bit of alcohol as well it was a very happy feeling social kind of high.

During the cure it had a very pronounced fruity almost bubblegum like smell and right now breaking up some of the flowers it has a sweet candy like lemon smell with the fruit in the far background now. Already looking forward to growing it again to see what else is in there.

Hey thanks brother! I think the smells on this one would shine through even with the covid thing. I have some small clones growing right now and would be happy to share some snips once they are sized up a bit if interested. For anyone here actually, as long as thatā€™s cool with @Motaco .

Yeah, Iā€™m very curious about the Guatemala too. These were about 7 year old seedsā€¦I put them directly in Solo cups on a heat pad and got 3 out of 4 to pop. Will make seeds if I canā€¦

Well, I chopped it today. Iā€™ll jar them up for a couple of months for evaluation. I still have the clones.

Looking good bro. She does look a little wispy? I donā€™t know why. I am sure once you get her dialed in you can get her producing denser buds. Not that she is a huge yielderā€¦ but she produces a quick harvest with a decent yield of what at least I personally consider a good sativa high. I agree before moving her outside you will need to stake her. Always did have weak stems.

I just hope you like the smoke. I find it has pretty unique effects. Gets me high and not stoned. In particular a ā€œfloatyā€ feeling that I donā€™t get from modern varieties. I hope I donā€™t skew your smoke report with preconceived notions of what to expect, but I am curious if you get similar effects.

As for seeds, and cuttingsā€¦ spread them far and wide. I am an OG through and through. I donā€™t believe in hoarding, profiteering, etc. Free the seed and spread the weed.

@anon3323625 Som is the creator of AllStar Mexican. He is doing a preservation run of it now, that bafflingly has virtually no interest. It is bizarre how some threads just fall through the cracks

It is a line I made from Mexican brick weed in the late 80ā€™s and early 90ā€™s. I was doing pollen chucks of Mexican bag seed back then and this is the best line that came out of it. It isnā€™t as strong as modern weed but is still strong enough to be worth growing if you like the old school sativa buzz. I sent some f2s to Motaco a few years ago and he found a nice female which he then sent back to me. I am in the process of making a gazillion f3s with Motacoā€™s cut and a really sativa looking male I found and intend to send them out to whoever wants them.

The flower from this line often comes out really fluffy. It is from before modern ā€œnugā€ style weed. Even though it is a bit of a hybrid it is a late '80s early '90s hybrid so it has a lot of real sativa in it rather than modern ā€œsativaā€.

Beautiful job with those plants PJ! Do you leave the moisture meter in the pot?

Hmmm!

Thatā€™s a hard one ā€¦LOL

Iā€™m always moving it around checking other plantsā€¦but ye I leave it in sometime. ( same as dipping your wick LOL

Seriously I prefer the yellow one I have ā€¦as Iā€™m only using that white occasionally as itā€™s a pretty crappy Chinese one.

When the plants are well in flower ā€¦just lifting them gives you a better judgement.

Take care

Thanks.

Ye no problem they are plants very uniformā€¦as you said these could be grown Sea of green etc in a tent ā€¦and with the rapid veg ā€¦you could flip earlierā€¦

Got to say smashing job you have doneā€¦should be well proud.


Look at the erect pistils gagging for pollenā€¦but not this time LOL

Thanks again
