Punto rojo selection and repro

[blondie]

Looking great old cool! My Punta Rosa cobbs are very nice. Great AM vape. I’m looking forward to seeing seeds for this strain available from you..

 

[OldCoolSativa]

Lots to catch up on. First, the seed plants. Last month a failed solenoid valve in the automated watering system I had set up in the seed-plant tent upstairs resulted in a near miss from disastrous water damage in my house. I said fuck it, they can stay outside and I'll pull them in when the frost comes. SO I snapped some photos of the seed plants on October 11 at 42N as I moved them outside.

PR1 and PR2

PR12 and PR13

PR17 and PR21

PR20 and PR28

Here are the seed plants with the three latest males pollinating NH x THH plants

Here's a pic of the 10 girls in the flower tent in week #6 of flowering. No signs of hermies and the plants seem to be healthy and happy. Aromas are developing and they're awesome!

I've managed to keep the clones alive after being pruned twice. I'll take new cuts soon.

Nice work ..Very dedicated

 

[Limeygreen]

Was just thinking about you and this project, just stuck my punto rojo female for a crop, haven't grown in a couple years. Love how yours are coming along.

 

[alvin88]

Been patiently waiting the update, everything looks like it's coming along great! Hell yeah

 

[ChemDogLover]

never seen PuntaRoja look so Dense and Chunky

It's definitely not dense or chunky; it's airy and fluffy.

 

[blondie]

Definitely looking good. Thanks for the update!! Keep up the great work.

of course it was half a joke..

and yeh I know ,relative to something actually chunky its whispy

but its relative to things that make what you have there look like big bud..

the pr’s I have seen look even skinnier..

GOOD GROW JOB

Thanks dude; I misinterpreted your joke.

I've seen skinnier also in a PR x mangobiche. I'll be interested to grow out a coupl e of the 1:1 pairings I make with PR19, the most feral looking plant.

Do you know where to get more punto rojo seeds or will you be doing a conservation run by chance. I'm trying to find some and I'm not having much luck.

Lol, I grew the red-pistil plant that TLT showed on their PR page.

 

[OldCoolSativa]

Today I checked aromas on the seed plants. Because these plants have the most mature flowers, their aromas are best developed. Aromas include pine and cedar, citrus (but not sweet), pepper / spice. And then there was plant #21, which really stood out: coffee and caramel (but not sweet). Incredibly complex and unlike anything I've ever smelled on a plant before. #21 is looking more and more like THE keeper.

What are your thoughts on it?

See the thread.

Punto Rojo from The Landrace Team

I had posted a couple pics in a thread about The Landrace Team, from whom I sourced a couple packs of punto rojo last fall. That thread is gone so I figured I'd journal the grow here. Eight seeds were popped on December 8, and I got a 75% germination rate. All showed very thin first leaves...

With the benefit of hindsight, I'd say you'd have to run a lot more TLT punto rojo plants to find a keeper than you would if you started with CBG (or BSC) seed stock.
