Nepal Annapurna

[dirtlove]

I have these seeds and man I cannot wait to plant them this start of Summer. Hoping for some serious height.

Not to worry, the height will come with ease with these plants.

This one germinated April 1st and is about 8 feet tall right now. It was topped early and I had kept it in a 1 gal container for a couple months to try and tame the vigorous growth. It's been in it's final 20 gal fabric pot since the first week of June.

A few of the lower leaves were scorched by the triple digit heat this past month. But nothing too bad thankfully.

Amazing height, good pictures provide an insight in what to expect. I am keen!

Beautiful Annapurna @dirtlove hehehe seedlings can be a bit slow, but once root system is well established Nepalese sativas grow very quick and tall without need of much fertilizers. Is she a female ?

 

[dirtlove]

Is she a female ?

Yes this one is a lady indeed. She has just started to flower and has also now reached the roof top which has made it quite difficult to take pics now.

I did take a cutting of her earlier in the season and force flowered it in August then moved it outdoors so that I could hopefully guarantee some flower harvest.

Glad to hear she is a female @dirtlove and already into flowering. Nepalese sativas grown in Northern latitudes take their sweet time to start to flower during Sept, but later they catch up very fast in October.

 

[zaprjaques]

hey @dirtlove
did you manage to finish your force flowered clone? or the big one even?

 

[Sensistar42]

Just picked up a pack last week, along with some Zamaldelica x kali China fems. Wellgrown had a re-listing and figured it was fate that I had to grab them.
I think I’ll mess with a few of these this coming summer when temps are better and maybe pollinate some things along with some f2s if everything works out well.

Thanks for your support @Sensistar42 much appreciated. Please, keep us updated!

I must say thank you for all your efforts with these heirlooms and landraces you preserve.

I can’t wait to sift through these different lines and find that one line that just works perfectly for me and to deep dive those genetics for myself.

 

[Sensistar42]

Anyone have any recent grows of this yet? This will be my next run, can’t wait!

 

[Hasch]

This will be my next run, can’t wait!

Ohh, goody!
Would love to come along for the "ride".
If you feel like it please post pics / a report.

For sure I will! I’ll probably end up doing my first run as a seed run, because I don’t believe dubi is going to re do this line for a few years and then I’ll select a a female or two to keep. Honduras and Ethiopian might be in there as well. But we are still a few months away from that.

 

[Sensistar42]

Started my pack last night! Hopefully all will pop. Wet paper towel method. First run will be to check out the females and hold the males back. Then do a seed run after.

Hey dubi! I should ask if the Nepal is anything special with popping the seeds. Like should these ones be in the freezer before popped or do they take longer to germ like some others?

Edit: I just re read this thread again and found my answer in the first page.

Hi @Sensistar42 if your seeds have already been kept at room temperature, do a 12-hour water presoak and then sow them directly in soil. These wilder, more feral sativa landraces with smaller seeds tend to germinate best directly in soil rather than using the paper towel method. They also typically take more days to germinate compared to modern strains with larger seeds.

Thanks! I’ll put them in soil tonight, well coco I mean.

I'm to afraid to grow this Strain with my little experience but I would love to some day. Good luck @Sensistar42. I'm looking forward to your Updates!

Did you end up preferring the strawberry sweet ones over the citric ones? I’m a sucker for the sweetness of the landraces.

I’m hopping these do well in my set up, with the more cold resistance and such for the cooler months.

I will end up pollenating some honduras and Ethiopian as well when I go to do the seed run after this.

I’m hoping that the spiritual vibe will work well with the ant-anxiety effect from the honduras. And the Ethiopian can get some help with the temp resistance as well as being an energetic, spiritual feeling combo.

All in all I would really like to put all 3 together I think it would make a great hybrid that sticks around 14 weeks with no indica in it to pop a bunch of to have randomly without worrying about the effects even though they will vary especially if the last addiction is made using a revered female.

I just need to figure out which ones to combine first.

These sativas aren’t bad if you keep them in a small fabric pot and pinch the fuck out of them to make them manageable. Mine never get bigger then about 2 1/2 - 3ft.

hey, i've got a question regarding the fabric pots that i hope isn't too offtopic here, considering this is a P2 cultivar that can get quite huge in its natural habitat and some will be growing it indoors.

ive always read that fabric pots keep plants from getting rootbound.
but on the other hand ive heard and also experienced first hand that lettin them go rootbound in small regular pots will keep plants small.

so now my question is, will a small fabric pot still keep them small without making them rootbound?

thanks in advance!
