12 weeks I’ve seen, but I haven’t seen a 10 weeker yet. At the end of a long veg i could see it.
@Cactus it will flower the same amount of time, regardless of latitude. I’m trying to run some this summer. Will see how it goes. I’m out of extra seed myself. Others here have seeds

I’m at about 34-35° N. I heard the Oaxaca can tolerate occasional cold snaps, dipping to the low 30s°F in the morning for a couple of days. The dry desert at 3,000 feet sees big temperature swings. Could acclimatizing them here work? Why not? What’s your growing season like, and what temperatures do you get? I’m wrapping up some PNG and want to try Oaxaca next, as it sounds feasible based on what you’re saying. I’m excited about the potential to grow it.

Yes very much so :grin: heres a bit of inspiration for you bro :wink: i was in the joint and this one grew all by itself from fallen seed, they should do fine

Yeah I am looking at what will work for outside, the snow on the Oaxaca is all I needed to see :joy:@drgreensleeves so not worried if it can take that a little low 30’s shouldn’t be that big of a deal. Weather can throw you a crappy cold snap and for about a day or two it comes out of it and back in the 60’s and 70’s later that day.

I grew them at 35°N (7200’ elevation) outside last summer and most of them finished just before frost. But all of them finished.

U in Az? That’s a good sign. Finish October or?

I wonder if that type is always purple or cold induced. I would say stay out of trouble but my friend says that’s nonsense just don’t get caught :joy:. Maybe we have too many laws but you can never be sure for they are designed to protect the money and property which the government values more than ā€œ fill in the blank.ā€

I searched my OG posts and couldn’t find the date. But the last two were in November I think. I’m in New Mexico.

Yep same environment high desert but elevation wow that’s very high up! I definitely don’t have any worries. I think the pics are awesome @drgreensleeves. The tropical types are slow but definitely worth the time imo if you can find some good ones.

ps ā€œ79 cryptic labsā€ I will look these up if Cry Labs still putting them out. Is there a good seed bank anyone that I could direct me to get some of these?

From what i understand @Upstate is the holder of this and i dont know if anyone other ā€œbankā€ holds it or not but i dont think so

Really! WoW seems like the Oaxaca has played a role in a few great types but nobody is making more Oaxaca seeds other than you guys? @Upstate didn’t Short say this was one of his faves?

No there are a few others but this is the oldest that i know of and from what i can tell the widest veriety of pheno types ps @DragonflyCoyoteSmoke and @Elchischas both work with some but i could be wrong about the oldest idk @Elchischas can probably correct me on it :grin::wink:

Mustafunk ( Cryptic Labs ) the breeder has stated he did his part & released the line to the world . Upstate & others have also worked it . Seeds do get passed around so work your Freakers pals . FWIW Colorado Sativas has the PS pheno for cheap . Now who do you think gave Gerry his seedstock ???
