A Little Taste of the Himalayas in New England

[Green Squall]

Hello I've always been interested in Himalayan cannabis and the culture behind it, so I decided to grow some trees this season! The strain is Parvati from The Real Seed Company and they're absolute monsters - the largest reaching at least 20ft tall. Planting 7 this spring, I ended up with 5 females. Very happy with that ratio. I knew growing this strain where I live was risky due to the flowering time, but I decided to roll the dice anyways. If I'm lucky, I'm expecting a harvest at the end of October. Keep in mind these bud shots are from lower down on the plant. My ladder's not tall enough to reach the top lol. Smell wise, I'm sensing a lot of fruit, such a mango and pineapple, which is damn refreshing because I'm so used to skunky smells.


This first one is the chunkiest of the bunch

Closeup.

An obvious looser bud structure, but smells a little more pungent.

This is the floral one of the bunch

Similar to the first, but it smells a little different.

And lastly, the one I'm most excited about, is the most resinous and strongest smelling.

Will post more once they put on some weight.

Good shit, Green Squall. Interesting line for sure. Been eyeing a few of their offerings. Nice to hear you’re getting those sorts of smells.

Hopefully the weather cooperates and you can let them finish proper. Good luck.

Thanks. The weather has been amazing this summer with tons of sun and the days are still very warm. Being on the coast, I think our frost dates are a little later than inland too.

I read somewhere online that they can grow up to 25 ft and sometimes even taller. I have album with a couple dozen pictures if you want to check it out.

That's awesome, hope the weather holds out for you!

You can feed Koala Bears with those bamboo trees.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Good luck to you bringing in a healthy harvest!

What's the grow schedule like if you want the 20 foot plant ?

Veg. them up to 5 feet, then outdoors in May ?

Got to be careful about loosening the string or it might choke the stem.

That's the amazing part about these plants - the growth rate is extremely vigorous. I put them out at the end of May when they weren't even 2ft.

Yup, I learned the hard way to periodically loosen the string. Luckily no serious damage was done. A family member of mine ended giving me a huge bale of heavy duty polypropylene twine that he stole from work haha. I will probably never run out lol.

Squall ...These are proud Himalayan Hash Makers ... good work on those monsters hope they finish for you ...

What a difference a week makes! Branches are sagging and there is noticeably more resin. The last 48 hours have been ideal mold weather and they don't seem phased by it at all. Also, the next few days we are expecting rain and cooler weather, so it will be interesting to see how they handle it.

That looks great, GS.

 

[nickman]

Wow I hope they finish for you

I have heard different techniques.

Some that they had workers run naked through the fields, so their bodies get covered with stickiness.

Or that they just rubbed it with their hands.

Both that manually made hash, and the classic opium production (slicing the flower & collecting the ooze) ... amazingly labor intensive.

Wow! Awesome work!!!

My Nepalese Jamaican is much shorter and has indica looking structure and leaves, but longer flowering structures. Fat and tight, but long.

Mine also finish around now.
Speaking of which... gonna be harvesting this evening.
