What’s the outdoor season like in your area?
Mediterranean climate, very hot summers, usually mild winters (although the past two years we have had hail and light snow for a few days and more rain than usual). Usually it is very dry so I can grow outdoors year round granted I use cold and mold resistant varieties like Himalayan. In greenhouse I can easily go year round without additional heating.

Dear Baba, The Cretan was one of the best weed in my area... many times better than the famous Kalamata red.
Is it from Delicorganic work?

yes this is from Deliorganic
Have you started your Egyptian seeds yet?
x Nigeria 
That's spectacular, BK! Thanks for sharing, and all the best with the upcoming transplants and rest of the journey.More Senegalx Ethiopia
cuttings rooted via the wet sand method. Really loving this simple cloning method
Next round is going to be Nigerian
If you don't mind, approximately what temperatures did you have when rooting those?
I never got anything that big to root at all, regardless of method.
Thank you
These were rooted in an unheated greenhouse with daily temps fluctuating between mid 70s to low 80s F. Night was low to mid 50s. I have other containers rooting indoors paired with a heat mat but the rooting times are roughly the same for both indoor and greenhouse. The wet sand has changed everything for me. Especially with rooting large cuttings

Great stuff. I envy you for the amount of space and climate you apparently have! I wish I could grow half as many plants.
I will definitely have to try the sand method. I am currently having a problem making clones of a sage plant and also of Szechuan pepper. Do you use some kind of rooting agent on top of the sand method?
Cannabis was never a problem for me but I suppose I could make them root faster. You mentioned 1.5 weeks above for a nice set of roots, that seems to be pretty fast.
The kind of plants you are growing is also what I like.
I heard some good things about the Mazar-i-Sharif. Did you already have a harvest of that one or is it your first grow? Where did you get the seeds from?
I could use some hints as to good seed suppliers (for sativas and landraces) as there seem to be too many bad apples in that business. I know ACE and the Real Seed Company are supposed to be good for landraces, any other good suggestions? You mentioned Deliorganic above, will have to look into that one (apparently available through RSC).
Sorry for that many questions. One last one - have you ever tried Regular Auto strains and if so, do you have a recommendation for seed suppliers of those?

Thanks for dropping by
I only use sand and water, no rooting agent, and is faster than what I experienced with other methods.The landraces and heirlooms are so valuable, offering a truly spiritual effect that I have loved since youth. Everything I grow and breed is selected for a spiritually stimulating experience
The Mazar-i-Sharif is outstanding. Dreamy, relaxing, cerebral, meditative, positive, and high vibration. They are easy to grow and can get quite large if given space
I have been growing it for many years and selecting it for the effects I enjoy. I originally got the seeds back when RSC first offered them, before they started selling reproductions and was able to secure a large order of seeds to work with utilizing open pollination.As far as recommendations go, RSC is wonderful, so is ACE, as well as Mandala Seeds, they have some great Sativa style plants as well. I have grown a few regular auto varieties and very much enjoyed the lines from Short Stuff, and Flash Seeds. Flash Seeds had some great landrace based regular autos but they are sold out everywhere and I cannot find any information about the company anymore. I guess the breeder Stitch has not released any regular autos for a few years now
I had his Red Lebanese Auto in Regular and made seeds using fast flowering Egyptian males to see if I could exploit the semi auto traits (sometimes full auto) of this variety to create a new hash line but that project has taken a back seat for the time being

Yes. I only started growing again after so many years. I still fondly remember the "trippy", "creative" and "laughing" highs I used to get in the 70's through early 90's when there weren't so many hybrids around. I don't really need the super-high THC couch lock strains which are mostly sold by legal/semi-legal vendors nowadays.The landraces and heirlooms are so valuable, offering a truly spiritual effect that I have loved since youth.

I noticed RSC now sells 2 different Mazars.The Mazar-i-Sharif is outstanding. Dreamy, relaxing, cerebral, meditative, positive, and high vibration. They are easy to grow and can get quite large if given space

I'll try to keep watching your threadsI had his Red Lebanese Auto in Regular and made seeds using fast flowering Egyptian males to see if I could exploit the semi auto traits (sometimes full auto) of this variety to create a new hash line but that project has taken a back seat for the time being
I only have experience with their first release but now I think they sell a 4th generation open pollinated seed now. The #2 being straight fromYes. I only started growing again after so many years.

Any idea which one should be preferred?

Afghanistan would be of great value, if I were to buy again I would get that one
Super cool you found some regular Flash Seeds, they made a lot of cool hazes. I’m going to see what all cannapot has to offer from them. It’s always nice to have some auto landraces or hazes growing during the summer
