Me enlighten you?That's a long shot bro...Only if you want some fishing tips...

Your assumption could very well be spot on(amber not forming),but I'd guess it's strain dependent...I've had amber appear quickly after I plucked all fans a week prior to scheduled harvest.

No amber even on leaves?
Have a nice day!

As for the enlightenment, I reckon you're aware of the notion that the learning process isn't only teacher-student related but vice versa too...

And nope, no amber nowhere...

Yes, they are rapidly moving along...

Here are a couple of my mini balcony mums, I could tell you that it is R-L Malawi Panama, then Panama - Malawi... they look pretty much identical ! Other phenos look more different than these. I have cuts saved for indoor runs, so not getting too hung up on how the mothers do outside vs each other, the real test will be indoors

This pic is from yesterday, in the pouring rain

Hi ChaosCatalunya,

Beautiful colas, friend! Thanks for sharing your Malawi/Panama and Malawi/Panama! They indeed look very similar, although both hybrids have very similar genetic background, the Old Malawi Killer/Panama Elite is usually more Malawi dominant, while the Panama Elite /Malawi New Malawi Killer is more Panama dominant.

I'm really curious to know your opinion about them!

Hi orfeas,

Congrats on another succesful season!
I'm glad to see you have had better luck this season with Bangi Haze, although slower to mature than expected you have had very interesting BH congolese sativa phenos. Hope you like the smoke.

The BKHPxEP looks damn fine despite the mold bites, solid flowers with very nice resin production, more on the BKHP side than the ErdPurt. How were the aromas ? Earthy/hashy?

Your Malawi/Panama look and sound quite Malawi dominant, with that 'woody/earthy' african aroma and overall Malawi flower structure.

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us, it's always a pleasure to see our beloved plant growing under the mediterranean sun by such good grower

Hi dubi

You're very kind and tactful therefore you'd never call me a slob

I grew the MxP elite simply because I craved the pink pheno my friend had the luck to encounter the year before but I seem to have stumbled upon Malawi instead...
However, I've got to admit it was a pleasure growing it and the final result was just as pleasing, especially the resin bit...one of the most resinous plants I've ever grown with tones of cream caramel fragrance with earthy/woody smell...
while early to judge the high, it definitely shows very promising in potency and quality... a classy sativa high that makes me shanks tremble for a minute or two...curing will surely enhance the scene...we all know what a long curing can do to a sativa, don't we?

That congo BH will need that long curing to acquire the potency it's now lacking for only potency is missing for the nonce ( ) ...
Aromas smelled earthyish/woodyish, not intense at all, good for stealth...

The BHKPxERP grew fine with nice nugs with sweet aromas kinda coffeeish...I guess I'm terrible at smelling-describing smells ...
Yet, too low a yeilding would surely put me off growing it again...the same goes for growing sativas in pots smaller than 50 or more lt...

Thank you for the opportunity you gave me to try these fine genetics!

I salute the old and the new faces here at Ace's!

I guess it's time I showed you what I've got up and coming for this season. Same growing niche, semi-outdoors, in my shed ... I won't have to open up the skylight for there is none nor is there any roof...a rectangular space 2x3x2 m with a hole on the ground ~ 1,5 x 1,5 x 0,5 m, roughly a cubic of soil...
Now, my scheme is to grow one plant in the hole and 3-4 smaller ones in the remaining space of the corners around. The challenge will be keeping the lady at max 2m tall ... I reckon I've grown envious of a couple of our lads around here vying for space management and I feel like tackling the same ordeal...
What I am thinking of is lots of pruning and bending and all...as far as size goes...
My other predicament will be the notorious mould and this time I'll go about it with the help from rosemary, nettle and horsegrass teas...yet, if things get desperate, desperate the measure will be ...

So, here is my last year's tester, Panama godess x Malawi new killer that sprouted on the 15th March, bearing seven internodes, preflowers on the top node, 40 cm tall and giving off a citrus lemony smell when stem-rubbed...I like that...
On a side note, she's been sitting outside, protected at times ( a few ones) especially when temps were single-digit...

Needless to say, I'd be happy to get any feed back and tips ...

Mornin' orfeas Glad to see your little lady.

Feedback: great looking plant, and genetics!

Tip: Be careful what you wish for (but go for it anyway)!

 

[Shooters]

For my mold situations I've stuck with early finishers, but I've found good ventilation helps a lot so if you can get a oscillating fan mounted on the wall to save floor space try that. A light or two added in during flowering helps as well by cooking off some of the humidity.

Thanks, mate, feedback and tip appreciated!
As for the tip, every poor old sod is entitled to wishful thinking, aren't they?

Hail Shooters!
Sound advice! However, there's no need for air circulation since there's enough natural one...as for supplementary lights, the Aegean sun emits at least a dozen thousand watts...

Now, the pictures are of a sister of the above PxM sprouted on the same date, but it's growing in a peculiar completely different fashion...

[orfeas]

A Purple PCK x Erdpurt in a shakespearian mood reminds me of the prince murmuring the famous quote...

Mind you, it sprouted on the same date as the Panamala...

[deepwaterdude]

Very much like the look of that PxM; very much DON'T like the look of the Erd x PCK... weirdo of a plant... Could be a killer

Were I a Spartan I'd definitely not have second thoughts as to pushing the runt deformed wacko off the cliff of Keadas (the infamous cliff where Spartans practised their eugenics)...

Yet, that "could be" of yours does make me have second thoughts

Have a nice 1st of May!

My other predicament will be the notorious mould

how is the air flow in the shed? I'd imagine that you wouldn't get much dew?
I'm enjoying the thread but my mind keeps drifting off into the Aegean.

I've sailed many a sea but my heart belongs to the Aegean

As for the dew, the same as outside the shed...

Now, no more cripples to display but georgeous Panamala instead. She is at 55 cm waiting for the proper moon phase to find her place in the master hole (there's a much smaller one too) ... I know, regarding the height, I'm biting off more than I can chew but what the heck...I like pushing the envelope now and again...

That's a mean lookin babe, orfeas... gotta lotta malawi in her

That's a mean lookin babe, orfeas... gotta lotta malawi in her

I wish she gotta lotta panama in her

Now, when indulding in wishful thinking I visualise that "mean lookin babe" as a two-metre-in-diameter sphere with a surface teeming with twinkling crystals...

Any tip as to how many nodes I should leave? Having done nothing like that before, I certainly am the tyro of the game...

I think she's got panama leaves, Malawi vigor in the tops, you probably got your wish, my bet.

At this point she's already got good side branches and height; instead of topping her, just tie her top down to the bottom of the pot, maybe a little laterally, and she'll bush like mad. When major tops have defined themselves, top and spread those You'll get your Beast, no worries!

Tah, man! Sure, no worries! And if she doesn't get there, her escorting maids will...
As for transplanting, I might as well jump the gun on that moon phase thing and shove her in after I'm done with whitewashing...she's almost getting rootbound now...

[Guest]

Best wishes for the new season ,matey!Hope everything works well,and it sure will!The younger recruits look fantastic,while panamala is looking really dangerous...Superb!

 

[vcasqui]

Nice BH you had there, that was big. Hope she cures properly so we can hear how good she is :O I also want to see those PxM.

As for the mold: I'm not gonna say anything new, but for me what helped the most last year was: Good ventilation (not only the place, but the plant itself; that means medium-lenght internodes, not too dense or big buds and keep the branches spaced from one another so the wind can pass throught). I guess you are going natural, but I found that Supervit from Hesi helped me with the plant's toughness (bugs and "extreme" temperatures mainly), and it's only a drop for every 5l of water, so not too pricey. Good nutrition is key also, but with your experience i'm sure you have that under control (actually I'm sure you already have all planned and under control xD)

I had succes with my BH#3 and Malawi#2 doing that. Both PCKxKC and the Malawi#1 from last year caught botrytis because the buds were too dense (both PCKxKC) or the branches were all together (Malawi#1); and all the 3 plants had smaller internodal distance than the BH#3 and Malawi#2.

Stay good.
