Autoflowering lines based on Auto Zamaldelica

[bonghopper]

Hi Maria Sanchez,
thank you for your comment.
I'm more and more happy this F1 grow works like. The line (PZam x A5) x GT 80 has hardly shown any ruderalis characteristics in the 8 plants I have seen so far. The three selected here were the ones with the longest pistils in the early flowering stage, which reminded me of the PZam-dominant mother. I could not assign the only male plant in this regard. But habitually, everything was quite sativa-dominant with long inflorescences. I have not had such a clear sativa dominance in any of my autoflowering lines so far.

Great progress, look forward to your smoke tests

Hi Bonghopper,
so far I´ve only tested buds of the Puprle Zamal dom plant. The other two are still flowering (getting close). Very strange ... 24 weeks. The early smoke tests are promising stimulating, energetic with a denser finish. Duration round about 2 hours. Little to no hang over next morning. Curing time!

24 weeks is impressive! Effect sounds great

Did anyone do a Bangi Haze x Auto Zamaldelica cross? How did it turn out?

Hi dilettante, I don´t know any one growing Bangi Haze x Auto Zam. You should try it.

Currently I´m pushing forward the "automation" of a Kali China-dominant line. Based on their growth and health, I chose 5 of the original 11 plants F1 plants (KC x (KC x (AZam x GT3)) ... better KC75. They are on day 22 after producing the first pistils. Of these 5 plants, only one male has emerged. I had expected 2 or 3 males. All 4 female plants are very resinous, typical for KC. 3 plants have developed the typical fruity-spicy smell of KC in the early flowering phase. One plant hardly develops any smells (plant 2). 3 of 4 plants show a rather tall growth (including the weakly smelling one) with medium to long internodes (for an indica-dominant plant). The other plants in the tent are 1x Malawi (fem.), 1x Zam x KC and a poinsettia (Euphoriba pulcherina). Poinsettia can produce red flowers when the daylight length is short. bracts develop.

I'm on it. I'm waiting for the f1 seeds to mature. I had a few clones on hand and wanted to see if the pollen was viable.

Out of originally a total of 25 seedlings (seeds soaked between 2024-11-25 and 2024-11-28), in 2l pots for deep rooting plants, with 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness, here are:
• 1x (F3 auto) GT80 (Golden Tiger 80%),
• 10x (F2 every 4th plant auto) ZamTigerHaze ZTH ((PZamxA5)xGT80(F2auto)) and
• 7x (F1 not auto) MExGT80 ((Mauritius x Ethiopian) x GT80 (F2 auto)).
and 1x Afghan Lemon.
Goals:
GT80 (F3 auto) and Afghan Lemon are supposed to fill my jars.

ZTH is expected to produce seeds in an F2xF1 generation, with an average of every 2nd plant flowering automatically. Selection in direction of sweet-smelling hazey plants, with purple colours on ripe flowers. I hope to find 2 autoflowering girls out of 8 plants. The ZTH-F1-mother had purple flowers. The smoke is stimulating, slightly energetic at first, later more introspectiv and dreamy, next morning you need more time to stand up.

MExGT80 is said to produce an F2 generation of seeds, with an average of every 4th plant flowering automatically. The selection direction is lanky, long-flowering with airy voluminous flowers with a good flower/leaf ratio. I am loving the ME smoke with clean uplifting and very active effects.

As soon as the non-automatic flowering ZTH males have donated pollen under 11/13 (light/dark) in the second, larger tent, the 7 MExGT80 plants are placed in the second tent, after which they have stayed under 18/6 with the auto-flowering plants in the first tent.

This is a bit complicated and raises the question of why I don't take one line after the other a generation further.

All the best for this new round.
Hope the F2 plants give you more than just 2 or 3 autos!

You sure are getting into those, great work! The ME sounds great, your cross or seeds you bought? So.. tell us more?

I'm happy to see that this project is still moving along. I'm doing some similar stuff and am planning to start a journal in a few months. Thanks for all of your documentation, I've enjoyed reading it.

Hello dear weed growers, I am very pleased about your interest in my attempts to develop autoflowering lines with little space and only a few individuals per line. I hope the cultivation considerations that I write down here are not too dry or absurd for you.

The ZTH line has only produced one (presumably) autoflowering female. It is a healthy plant that is willing to branch. Since Purple Zamal is also involved and the F1 generation was already round about 50% semi-autoflowering, it is difficult to find the ones that actually flower automatically. You have to observe them for a longer time to see whether they remain in a kind of pre-flowering stage under 18/6 or whether they really start to flower at some point.

I am not happy with the males. One male shows deformations on the leaves even when reaching flowering phase. The second male is not well supplied with nutrients, which makes me think that the roots have developed less well than all the other plants. Neither of these are good conditions for promoting an auto-flowering line with a few individuals.
Since I´ve decided to prioritize MExGT80, there is no room in tent two with the 12/12 regime to look for photoperiod ZTH-males. So I will probably only pollinate individual female ZTH inflorescences and produce some fully automatic offspring with possibly 50% not "fit". A new round of exclusively healthy ZTH-F2 plants could then be crossed (F3-F2).

Next post will show the progress on ME x GT80 (F1 not auto).
