Yes i used the NH23 x Kariba Male selected from Nevil's Grail project RIP

African Frankincense = Australian Chocolate clone Frankincense leaner( Outback Haze1 clone x Chocolope Male)
X Nevil Haze 23 x Kariba Male
10-12 weeks , maybe a week or 2 more from seed plant If flipped to early

The NH23 x Kariba was really special, heavy on the A Haze and African Spice terps/High , maybe 1 of the best ive sampled from Nevil's Grail project

 

[William76]

The nh23 x kariba was the 1 I was looking at,I'd heard it was heavy on the incense,76

Day 43 flowering.

I top dressed some Dr earth 2-2-2 and earth worm castings . And once a week bat guano tea.

Pheno 1 and 3 are similar. They are taller and stretchier. Both are sticky already and extremely fragrant. Smells of perfume and incense with a little bubble gum.
#1

#3

Pheno 2 and 4 are shorter and not a smelly. They smell more on the perfume end with incense and no bubble gum.

These look fantastic. The structure of 1 and 3 looks perfect to me.
How's the weather where you are? What latitude are you at?

brilliant to both the grower and breeder

 

[smellyballz]

Thank you all for the kind words.
I'm honored to grow such a treat.

@Maria Sanchez
Somewhere between 32N and 34 N
Day time temps in the 100's F and at night it's in the 70's F. Hot and dry.

Hehe, you're as vague as I am about my location.
But, cool, 32N-34N should mean you still have plenty of time before it gets too cold.
I'm guessing Texas or Arizona, but don't expect you to respond to that!
Lots of sun is good.

I'm running a few of the ThaiFricans which also come from the Kariba line.
If they're anything like these African Frankincense girls of yours, I'll be a very happy camper.

Day 67 of flowering group shot.

Pheno #1 starting to ripen. Perfume and spice with a little sweet note.

Pheno#2. Perfume, spice, and ripe pineapple vapor.

Pheno#3 running buds. I love the color on this one. Floral smells with perfume and spice.

Pheno#4. Perfume, spice , and floral smells

All plants smell awesome. The smells are wild and hard to describe. The trichomes are delicate. They easily rupture from the lightest touch and release their oily contents.

Plants #1 and #3 will probably be ready in about 2 weeks. I'm guessing 3-4 more on #2 and #4.
I'm super excited to try the flower when it's done!

 

[420empire]

how could one not admire these crystal towers of beauty.
Great work Smellyballz

 

[Maria Sanchez]

@smellyballz :
Simply stunning!
The grow and the cultivar itself.
Hope these next few weeks really make them shine!

@420empire :
yes, 'crystal towers of beauty' they are!
