Battle of Kandahar

[goingrey]

Hey! found an interesting comment in the topic "Whos got the best Afghan?"

maybe I have something like this?

Probably not. The critical photoperiod depends on the variety. It is not 12 hours for all non-autoflowering plants. Some drug varieties will flower at 16 hours of light even, and for some hemp strains it can go up to 20! Flowering with 14 hour days is not surprising at all.

Here is a paper about the subject if you're interested:

Photoperiodic Flowering Response of Essential Oil, Grain, and Fiber Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Cultivars

Cultivation of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in tropical and subtropical regions can be challenging if the flowering behavior of a given cultivar is unknown, poorly understood, or not accurately selected for the photoperiod. Identifying cultivars adapted to local environmental conditions is key to...

Hey!

Seeds Peace #3 bloomed before being put into bloom.

Spoiler: SP

Bodhi+Seeds Peace seems to me that this cross is dominated by the SP line, and the early flowering is also inherited, it comes next after SP #3 about a week behind, it is as lanky as the SP (sorry they are bent and I do not see their natural structure).

Spoiler: Bodhi + Seeds Peace

Bodhi #2 this line is going to flower at a normal pace. their structure is compact and the lateral branches tend to be at the level of the central colla

Spoiler: Bodhi #2

and what a long petiole. they all have to compete for a place in the sun but only at Bodhi they are so long that it's hard not to pay attention to it.

goingrey Hello!​

thanks for the article, I read it and understood as much as I could so I can not worry that at some stage the genes were contaminated with some kind of ruderalis?

How are you?
I hope all is well!
We are waiting for updates and photos of black cones!

Hehe you can worry if you like, basically there is no proof one way or the other..

Buds and smoke report ?

 

[rindindoo]

Hello!

I apologize for the long absence and the incomplete report. I'll try to finish it as soon as possible, but for now, in words, I'll tell you how it was.
The box was heavily overgrown, clear photographs were no longer obtained, this is where all the interesting ends, until the discovery of mold on Kandahar SP, which was caused by negative factors - low temperature (14-17C), high humidity, lack of active ventilation at night.
In Kandahar SP, the bud structure is very dense, closer to the final, the mold attacked the central branch, then after a while it got to some of the lower buds. Partial harvest took place on day 45 12/12, full harvest on day 50. It should be noted that since this Kandahar SP had fully bloomed by the time the regime change was made on 12/12, and the transition time from the first day of 12/12 to flowering is approximately 14 days for indica dominant plants, we can say that the flowering time was 64 days. As a reminder, I had a "plan" to use a 14/10 light schedule to speed up puberty so the plants didn't grow too tall. The plan failed, but randomly found that SP bloomed on the 20th day under this regimen. Perhaps it will bloom a little faster under the open sky too? I hope I can find out, for this I landed 4 Kandahar SP clones and one Bodhi + SP on the street (50 N).
The aroma of a mixture of spices, with a strong proportion of coriander and perfume (I approached my wife and offered her to smell freshly cut weeds, the first thing she said was the smell of shit and coriander. ha ha ha), when smoked, the smoke tastes like a male cologne, the same smell smoke I met at OG Kush (Reserva privada) only much more intense than at Kandahar SP.
The effect is balanced, sedative but not nailing to the couch. Gives a pleasant intoxicating state and sends the mind into philosophical reasoning. At the end of the trip comes a slight relaxation. The strength and duration of exposure is high, these weeds should always be in the first aid kit.

Bodhi+SP
On the 51st day, I found small pockets of mold, did not stand on ceremony and cut off the entire bush. This cross took a fair share from its parents: morphology, flowering time (bloomed on day 7 12/12), mildew resistance (still better than SP), and psychoactive properties.
The effect of this cross is more active and crazy compared to SP, you can say it is a daytime version with more opportunities for outdoor activities. I have poorly studied it, I think I will still have to supplement the description when the time comes.

Kandahar Bodhi
Due to the rectangular structure of the box, the plants that were in the far corners (Bodhi #2&3) were respectively farther from the light source and they did not have enough energy to form normal buds (they turned out to be loose), although the structure of Kandahar Bodhi already has a different, not familiar bud structure for Afghan lines, more like tropical plants. Earlier, comrade TheDarkStorm shared personal observations of similar phenotypes in Afghanistan, and there are also channels on Instagram that publish many photos from local cannabis cultivation fields where you can observe the diversity of Afghan landraces. Cannabis needs to have different phenotypes in the population in order to survive extreme conditions of drought/humidity, cold (flavonoid production), etc. Kandahar Bodhi is mold free and this line has good resistance to cool and wet weather.
This Kandahar colored beautifully towards the end of flowering, it bloomed the longest - 73 days 12/12 + low temperatures did their job, so even the mother from the original seeds did not color.
I also noticed an interesting difference between the resin of the SP line and Bodhi. Resin in SP is sticky and smearing, while in Bodhi it is dry, it remains grains like sand on the fingers.
But I have to tell you a shameful secret I shyly lower my eyes to the floor, brothers, how should I put it... I haven't smoked Bodhi weeds yet. And here's the thing. At some stage of flowering, I cut off unpromising branches on which small but already resinous inflorescences had time to form. At that time, apart from auto Zamaldelica (Ace seeds), I didn’t have anything for evening smoking and I tried to smoke Kandahar Bodhi, after smoking my mood deteriorates, anxiety comes, the internal dialogue comes down to self-flagellation and the main thought is “why was it necessary to smoke? ". There was a case when I had to put out a joint after a couple of puffs, and although the action was very weak, but with the same side effects. That's it. Perhaps after a long cure, something has changed and it will be a miracle! but I can’t tune in to the tasting, there are a lot of things to do now and I don’t want to spoil the mood.

Hello!
To your attention 4 clones of Kandahar SP and one cross of Bodhi + SP. The place in which they grow is a swamp thicket of vines and willows at 50 N. I found a small hill in the depths and cut down a site there. these Kandahars are not the target plants for this project, this area is the complete opposite of their natural habitat, in addition they are planted in such a way that they do not shade the plants on which the bet is placed, they are in the shade almost all day, #3 does not see direct sunlight. I'm interested to look at their morphology and find out the timing of flowering.
This is guerrilla growing in the wild, all plants are asking for light and food

#3 - this is the clone that grew in a box under 250 HPS

Afghan people say smoking flower makes you insane this is why it must be made into charas.
