Have you tried peroxide Orfeas ? It works great cleaning out wounds in my dogs when they have been playing with the boars, use liberally, it burns all the bad stuff--- Good luck amigo

Hola, Chaos!

Thanks man! I did think of peroxide...yet ammonia was lying around so I grabbed that and did the cleansing for I had read some place that it can be used as disinfectant or can't it?

Do you raise boars in your backyard? the boys around here lose a dog once in a while...

Nice plants Orf .Last summer I had stem rot in my Malawi s same thing rain did it to mine I just cut it all out and she recovered nicely.B

Hey, Bud, thanks! them Malawis are quite resilient, aren't they?
What aggravates me the most is that the fracking spores are invisible and by the time they become "visible" it is a tad too late...
hopefully I have removed every infected bit and eliminated the chances for further spreading...time will tell...

sometime mid June I transplanted this PPCKxErpt runt next to the beanstalks hoping it would react sympathetically and grow likewise...it wouldn't... yet she gives out nice earthy creamy hashy heavy aromas ...

Orfeas, That is the way to grow. The soil in my area is so poor growing anything outside in volume isn't an option. Thanks for sharing! Peace

Wow orfeas, that PCK x ErdPurt has a real strange growth.

As we state in the description of the hybrid, some runts/mutated seedlings can be found in this indica line, mainly due to the mother of the cross is the old Purple PCK 2002 parental plant, which sometimes produces mutated offspring when is used as a mother or when it is selfed by itself in S1 format (not always, for example: Purple PCK 2002 x Panama Goddess reversed fem F1 hybrid produces perfectly healthy offspring), but curiously it doesn't produce this problem when the same Purple PCK 2002 parental plant is used as a 'father' (reversed, to produce feminized seeds), anyway we add extra seeds in each pack of this hybrid due to this certain rate of mutant seedlings in the line, so the grower will have healthy plants for what he/she has paid for.

My main recommendation when growing this hybrid is to focus the energies and resources into the fully healthy and more vigorous plants of the line, and discard any runt or mutant that doesn't grow properly after 2-3 weeks of life.

Beside that, the mutated plants of this cross could have some interesting breeding goals, like to breed a strain which produces rare leaf formations that cannot be recognize as cannabis and that are different to the ducksfoot lines, but to achieve this would need to grow big populations of mutated plants from this cross that still have decent vigor and inbred them with the hope to produce a line that keeps an unrecognizable cannabis growth and leaf traits, yet having decent vigor and producing desirable finished product.

Oye, dubi! I truly appreciate your taking the time to speak for that weirdo of a plant...good to hear about it from the horse's mouth...
its stem is not purple but dark bordeaux red...never seen it before...
it'd make a nice camo with them single blade leaves...
Yet, one seed I gave to a friend has yielded a normal plant over a metre and half by now with no sign of purple hues whatsoever...I take it is the norm with that cross...

The photos below were taken the day before, yesterday and today in order of appearance. The yester day was sort of phenomenal with blasting gusts and torrents and low temps...mind you we had 35s the other day whereas yesterday it plunged down to 16...

I should have employed the nylon strings three days earlier

It looks like reveg growth.

WOW Mr orfeus you been getting hammered by the elements this yr.On and forward bet you could throw some trellis over that girl stand er back up crazy weather patterns

 

[deepwaterdude]

For all that goes wrong, so much that is soooo right Looking killer. Stormy here too, but the plants are resilient, kinda built for it. When flower start around there?

never revegged a plant so never seen one...live..

hell yea, however quite infrequent these phenomena might be the battering and bashing is definitely not the plants' cup of tea...
trellis I did give a try but things got out of hand and I had to dismantle for there was no way I could get to the center of the canopy...see what it looked like back then...almost same date, similar strains...

so bitterly right
yet no plant can hold out in real bad weather...unscathed I mean...in my case there was no hurting, just a grand bow to Aeolus...had she had laden boughs, she'd definitely have lost one or two...

flowering, of those girls? beginning September around forty north

Thank you guys for chiming in!

undaunted OE

so intriguing to see what abuse a plant can take... scraped almost 2/3s of the stem off leaving just a tiny strip of bark and xylem...in other words the last two photos(taken a week ago) go to show how vigorous and resilient them plants can be... today she looks exactly the same...

Orfeas

 

[orfeas]

the reason behind uploading the following photos is not inasmuch as I'd like to exalt the particularly unusual(to my growing experience) cultivar but rather ask the naive question " Is she flowering? "....

Orfeas

 

[Claude Hopper]

I don't think so. I don't see any clusters of pistols. She looks like she'll have a lot of bud sites soon!

 

[farmerlion]

Orfeas, I don't see tight clusters but none the less there is pistils. It may be very airy buds growing. My light cycle is slowly entering longer dark periods as well. I'm sure in the coming days it will convert more energy to flowering as the chemical signal changes and gets stronger. Kind of like waiting for someone on their cell at a turn signal. It's not getting any greener, It's time to go. (moral of the story) Sometimes a plant can't see the green light right away. Peace

 

[orfeas]

Thank you, folks!
The attribute to the question should have been "rhetoric" rather than "naive" for it is hardly likely for a Zamaldelica to go flowering in July...yet you can see why I asked by looking at the following two photos taken at exactly the same time with three years difference...the first one being the mother and the second one the offspring...the former had gone hermie a tad and yielded a few seeds...dubi spoke about semi-auto flowering expressions back then, so I guess the "daughter" inherited the gene

Farmer, you're right about them days and green light but I am under the impression that them sativas suffer from colour blindness

Orfeas

 

[Buddler]

Big enough to flower look like the nodes are shortening up pistils are coming just might be starting ya need to give her a hand a lil light dep. period get her going. Nice work ORF..

 

[orfeas]

oh man, my growing premises don't allow for such commodity as light dep... it'd save me ass many a worry come October...
thanks heaps for the tip and the encouragement; if only the former were applicable!

hard to believe what is seen in the following photo is a single plant...

Hi orfeas,

The Zamaldelica you are talking about it's without any doubt quite interesting.
It is clearly a Zamal/Thai pheno, with almost no Malawi influence.
It has the semi autoflowering traits of Gerrit's Zamal A parental plant and the reddish petioles from the Thai male.

Nice to see her flowering so early Usually non semi autoflowering Zamaldelica phenos (and they are the big majority in the line, especially in latest fem versions of the strain) start to flower in August at our latitude.

Hopefully your early flowering Zamaldelica stays sexually firm until the end and the early flowering reaction translates also into an early harvest.

Wish you are having a good (and not so sweaty) summer time!

appreciate clarification on parental line, "viejo" ! reflecting on the mother I think she didn't have that very thin spear blades and when she went flowering she kept on an idle mode till September sometime round...she came down prematurely a tad, not that many amber, but, oy caraho, she was fiery and would have you in the air in no time at all...pity she didn't finish to her full potential...as for hermaphrodism mood I guess there are three senarios, the mother, better than and worse than

As for the weather, we've been a lot luckier than you Españoles (at least) the only hard stuff being the torrents two weeks ago...but them temps are divine along side the almost incessant cool breeze through out the day...lucky us...

wish you well, cavron!

Incredible plant. All the "colas" look so even...

 

[orfeas]

"Wheee! I've kicked into flowering!" So spoke my local NLD... giving no dime for the sweltering heat,
evoking hopes for an early October harvest...

Thanks, vcasqui!
