Good luck to you too, Rob! I'm following your grow in the Green Mountain Seeds thread. Would be interesting to compare the indoor and outdoor grown plants, at least visually
The outdoor plants are taking off! I shut down my grow box as all the seeded plants are outdoors too.

The 2 seeded Zacateca Tribute plants (with F2 seeds) seem to be the first that will be harvested. Great smells coming from them, unfortunately one of them is the only plant from all the seeded plants that is getting some mold in the summer rains. And it's the more "sativa" one (with fruity, pine and cola/cinnamon/canela kind of smell) that was pollinated with the more "sativa" ZT male (citric smell).
The other seeded female smells a bit more pine-and-fruity (without the sweet spicy thing) and was pollinated by the more "indica" ZT male (hashy smell).

Damn, I love your plant's friend. Seeing them makes me wish I could grow in the wild again. I can't wait to see them flowering.Purple Mexican x PCK

This plant (the green PM x PCK) was slow to start flowering, very quick to revert to vegging once outdoors and somewhat hard to pollinate - it was initially pollinated with ZT pollen (like the PM x PCK next to it), but after I saw that it was unsuccessful I pollinated it with Kullu (or Kullu x (Zam x Kullu)) pollen, which too was unsuccessful... at the end there are a few seeds on the plant but I don't from which pollination..

And the 2 seeded Kullu's, pollinated by the more sativa Zacateca Tribute male. Unfortunately the pollination wasn't of great success and only 10-15 seeds will be produced:

I try not to water them at all. I use Hydrogel which, together with composting horse dung, keeps my plant holes moist for months, and in September it should start raining again. It worked smoothly last year and back then I started 6 weeks earlier.Wow, 23 strains! It's going to be a challenge to water them al
This year will be dramatically hot I am afraid.here it's more dry, and there's no way I don't water at all, August is scorching.
Hi Yoss,Two weeks later...
Unfortunately there're lots of mosquitos and eventhough I use repellents it's hard when you have your hands busy (with watering or taking photos).
By the way, the 2 seeded Purple Mexican x PCK plants that I harvested have great effect and taste. Can't wait to try the sinsemilla one in the autumn.

Close to 3 meters height, it was hard to fit the whole plant into the photo, there was no place to step back.. As sativa as this plant is, it's also getting very stinky in veg. It had the most hash-smelling top out of the 8 ZT plants that I started, and now it's like Skunk, you can smell the ganja smell before you see the plant!

Hi Yoss,Thank you for the kind words, terroirist! Chernozem is good, and I make it even more "cherno" (black) by adding some compost every year.
We've had a long heat wave that was challenging to the plants and the Zacateca Tribute suffered the most. It's at the sunniest spot that dries out the quickest, and the droopy plant with scorched tops was a pitiful sight on my visit a few days ago, after being away for 5 days and not being able to water. It wasn't so thirsty as heat(+light) stressed. Hopefully it will recover quickly, now it's cooler, though a few more days of above 35*C are coming.
