So here’s one reason for your disappointment.

The Cauca department (region) in Colombia is at 0°~3°n latitude. The length of day varies by a few minutes over the entire year. Equatorial plants don’t respond as quickly, sometimes not at all other than slowing down, to day length changes. In any case note on the chart below you don’t even get to 12/12 at your latitude until well into September.

Your plants didn’t even consider flowering until then and they do flower slowly to begin with. From what plant I do see they do look like they could be Colombian sativa but with that long a veg time they should be enormous unless pruned. Am I misunderstanding you or are you finding the seeds at fault?

Man that looks good I’m going to have to find room for them in the garden before too long, are those roots coming off the bottom of the stem? Do you remember when them Nana had roots crawling across the top of the soil?

I don’t know. Mine was 35 weeks of 12 12…and it needed another 8. The other was vegged. Tough comparison.
I bet some corinto will go 26 12 12 from seed…we’ll see if any go longer. Yours are looking great!
@GREANDAL yeah buddy! They’re all close now! I was a little worried for you during the cold snap. Two more weeks and they’ll be smokeable. Most Huixtepec swell and ripen quick. The others seem to be keeping pace. Excellent! These warm days must have helped. The forecast now is showing just one or two cold nights and then warm again on the east coast. Hopefully you get the same weather.
How’s that Guerrero smell?

Awesome spikey aerial roots. I read about that with the 74 Panama, but this is the first photo i’ve seen that shows it. Nice to get that documented.

I would think doing some light manipulation below 12 hours, maybe 11.5/12.5 to start would trigger flowering faster on the Corinto, and to ripen sooner mb gradually working down to 11/13 or 10/14.

Edit: I had a different Colombian finishing 2 yrs ago in august/september from 10/14 tarping, where there’s a will, there’s a way

I tried to push them and it worked slightly but not immediately. Light deprivation would be necessary for almost everyone to finish outside. I’m going to try to have some going early next season and try that out.

After 2 months at 12/12 I dropped to 11/13 and it was another month before they started to show.

A really nice tart Limón now. It was a sweeter soft citrus that has strengthened and sharpened the last few days.
