Yeah, brother, looking great! I’m hoping my Tirah Valley, does nearly as well. I know they are are differently sourced but, I can’t wait to see what yours look like in flower!

I can hardly stand the wait. Some of these are real nose burners when stem rubbed. :flushed: surely yours will be great too.

Damn, man. You are wearing me out. I find another sativa thread that’s already at 150 replies??? I thought you were close to my age, lol. This looks like a real nice run and I’ll go back and read the thread.

I’m really interested in this one. We got that snow I was mentioning in one of your other threads. Right at 10-12" so far and still snowing. Maybe I can catch up some this week… gonna snow again in a couple of days. :cold_face: :sunglasses:

3 words. Oaxaca Oaxaca Oaxaca lol. Keeps me active😁
Seriously, I get tuckered out. I’ve lost weight. I hurt. I keep going. 30 years swinging a hammer for a living, half of that time with a blown back, has taught me to move it or lose it. I Will be 50 coming up shortly. If i relax more than a couple days i can hardly move. Hurts to keep going but hurts more to stop. I’m sure you can relate.

Plants are humming along. Most are quite content with the soil with just a couple showing that they want some Nitrogen now. Plants are still in.2 gallon. I might put the females in 3 or 5 gallon containers depending on space after removing the males, which are just sexing…tonight will be day 4 or 5 of flowering.
One plant has 12 finger leaves. Really pretty. Will report more shortly. Transplant time is Saturday afternoon or Sunday. I’m getting really excited. I’ve only grown several Indicas in my life. My old Afghan, my old midget strain, a mystery local Indica and Lebanese. Only my own was potent. I can tell these will be too. Might need to isolate the thc plants for extreme potency ganja, but for hash and medicine this is going to be primo stuff. Really easy plants to grow. They’ve been handling neem oil just fine. ( 2 sprays so far)Still dealing with a few lingering aphids and mites. The revegging Lambsbread and Thai plants are now out of the room. A mix of old half formed flowers and a tangle of dead and live little leaves made it impossible to kill everything on them and eventually the little bastards find their way to other plants to escape my attempted death sentence. When i Transplant everything will get a thorough treatment and i should have just enough time for one more follow up ( neem oil) treatment before flower formation begins. Hope so!

Grow seems to be going very smoothly, nice job other than those pesky aphids…Can’t wait to see what these indicas do.

How was this strain to grow? I just received some of these in and really want to try them

I think I should be able to get rid of the aphids. I found maybe 10 or 15 total. 2 adults on different plants. Hopefully no mating.
Which Lambsbread did you get? Same one? 23 weeks flowering for all three ladies. No problems with the plants. It’s a great daytime smoke. Sativa high but its stoney too. Good chill weed. I don’t think i found a keeper round one, but did have 2 nice plants, both of which are revegging and nearly ready for taking cuttings. Starting more seed tonight.

Hopefully you can nuke them bastards, @US3RNAM3 sent them to me, maybe he can shed a little more light on which one they are. Can’t wait to see what turns up in the ones you pop this time.

Is that the lambs bread x blue mountain from Kwik/RSC? Or is it just straight Lambs bread?

I don’t have detailed provenance on these, they were acquired at a local pop up before i started doing heavy research on lines. Lamb’s bread is really tricky b.c it’s one of those legendary lines that many will use unscrupulously to increase the demand/sales on seeds.

Lambsbread. The real one. :100:

Most likely or nearly positive its a hybrid version. I only know of one pure line and that is the Vibes Collective line.

Up potting the Tirah today. I’m thinking 5 gallon containers for a good yield. So far 5 males 2 females. Hoping the ratio gets better but i typically have gotten 60% male with indicas. Would be nice to get 6 ladies but 4 or 5 might be the number.


Plants were wet with water and look droopy as a result. Strong smell to these plants. Some stem rubs give a medicine ( the kind you would try to spit out as a kid…prior to the modern stuff that you could drink all day) or chemical smell.
1st photo is a female. Last photo is female too i think.

I’ve grown the tirah. True facts it will keep growing for about as long as you let it. I’ve a friend who loves it t make Tirah hash. You could start this in February and run it til January. Seriously, it just keeps growing. I’ve heard they leave it til doffed in snow. Then pack it out to make hash. Plan accordingly.

Females are in 5 gallon containers now. Just 5 of them this time. 8 males. Luck of the draw. Will get pics of the males soon. Some of them are so smelly I was nearly certain they had to be females.
The Tirah have caught up to the Peshawar plants in height
@PioneerValleyOG the Afridi Tribe brought their Sativa from India long ago( 600 years)but that memory of a longer flowering cycle is likely still in the genetic code somewhere and their sativa can go into December. Grown 10 degrees further North would put harvest into January like you say. The Afridi themselves leave the harvested plants in bundles stacked standing upright at an angle until the snow comes. The snow makes the resin red ,stickier and somehow more potent too.
But this strain is the other Tirah valley strain, the amalgamated version. Harvest begins in October for this one with early plants finishing late September in Pakistan. Add 3 or 4 weeks for 42 north.
