"Wild" unidentified Sativa - Free Seeds

I started 6 awhile back and 1 sprouted. After 3 months found out it was a boy so started another 6 and again 1 sprouted though this one showed she is a girl so she is in a 3 gallon pot sitting in my windowsill as I still need to set up my pvc cold frame - days are great! Its the nights still dropping to 40-45F…my tomato plant is dead and Candy Dawg Auto is still trying though has slowed down a lot and is hurting definitely wanting more protection than I am giving :rolling_eyes: I’ll get some pics up on Saturday

Im sorry for the late update. I got a corked botlle of seeds,Im assuming its from you/ They arrived out the blue a month ago when I went to collect a registered mail from post office. I have no idea how long they were there, lol

Thanks very much. Ill be popping them in early september.,thats the end of our winter. I just cant decide if I should pop them indoors now and then transplant outside or just crack some beans in the inside of a chopped down tree trunk and let African nature take care of the rest. I have never grown outdoors before. I think its fitting for a wild sativa to be let allowed to do its thing with as little interference from me. Ill then choose the best specimens, clone and then grown indoors in RDWC,

Thanks very much,
Cheers

Sounds very interesting to just let them go, but I would take a few things into consideration:
The germination rate is low on these. I am assuming that it is because they are a few years old and that they were not kept in cool, dark, and dry conditions the whole time. Like I said above, I had better success when I cracked them with my teeth 4 days in - not something you want to do typically.

They don’t seem to be the biggest fans of cloning, but my setup is rather basic. I have done it, but the process of getting them trained into little bonsais has been a battle. They are feral and disobedient plants :grin:

When you top and train them, it makes them grumpy and the bottom leaves will often die off. Don’t top really young seedlings or they just die.

They really want to flower when you keep them as mother plants, even under the 21/3 schedule that I’ve been forced to go to.

With all of this, I would consider waiting until it’s closer to when you want to put them outside and then start them. It may save you some struggle. If you do go ahead and try to treat them like a regular Bubba-Star-Kush-Dawg, then please post updates to share how you are managing, as I know I would learn a lot from watching someone else deal with these little animals. :boar:

Beautiful looking sativa’s I am a huge fan of Sativa’s and I want to start growing crazy heirloom sativa’s and mix them with some good quality genetics.

Sums up my experience with it nicely…I have a nice mound of 3yr old chicken litter with lots of weeds that I will be transplanting my girl into in the next few days. For now she is in a 3 gallon sitting in the windowsill trying to bud

Sounds like great advice. I think Ill just drop beans in the trunks of non indigenous trees I have in the garden. I am replacing them with Masasas, fever trees and flat top canopy acacias. We are well past the half way mark on our winter here so in a month I think.
thank you

Hey! Awesome story! Got any more of these? I am looking to find a hardy, low maintenance, yard strain that will get along with my Central American Landraces. May have quite a few ColombianGoldxPanamaRed seeds by end of year. Got a few GSCxOaxacan to trade now.

I got a pack of these from @MomOnTheRun and have dropped 5 in water. Prepared for long germ and possibly dropping more. I am not averse to biting them if necessary.

@jcfougere, you still out there? I would trade for more.

This looks amazing! I would love to trade as well if they are still floating around

Perhaps others that got them will get back with more positive feedback, but I do really think it’s a hemp strain. Almost impossible to keep in mother plant form, really disappointing calyxes and almost had a smell like the old Guerrilla Gold. It is very weedy weed…

I would select and perhaps breed something that I can throw out in my yard on years when I’m not interested in managing a grow. Something with serious survival genes.

It may be perfect for that.

I am watching the OHuck for similar traits.

It sounds ideal to use as a starting point for a landrace

On paper it looks very interesting. See how it does in my yard.
