Freezerweed's 2024 landrace grow

[Freezerweed]

Hello,
My original thread was under the "introduce yourself" But thought Landraces would be more appropriate.
I ended up dialing the light to 10/14 to stimulate the flowering in the Meao Thai. I will bring that back towards 12/12 soon after pollenating.

I either misidentified or shocked 3 Puntos that turned into males. There was also a male Resin Monster that I misidentified and pulled.
The main issue has been the Meao Thai needing extra attention due to the smaller grow spot. It brings back some of my frustrations from the 1980s when I grew it before under HPS.

The plants in containers are Congo Black x Jamaican Longtime backcrossed to Congo Black. Here is a male before putting a pollen bag on it.

These pics are of Punto Rojo x Jamaican Longtime backcrossed to Punto Rojo.

I will post again as developments continue.

Thanks for posting friend, I love your setup. Those plants look very interesting. I'm riding with you and looking forward to the ride. What kind of substrate are you using? Is that a large bed and it looks like you are in a tent? What kind of fertilizer and water do you use? What kind of light and how many watts? Looks really cool, you may have another 10 weeks to go.

Basic sand/ clay that is in my crawlspace, that I dug out 30 years ago and recently hung mylar. I used HPS until a few years ago. Using BESTVA 4000s now. I originally tried Frog Farm filled bags buried in the virgin crawlspace soil, but soon realized the extra plants That I planted directly did much better and had less problems with bugs. Landraces don't need much in nutrients and drainage was always a problem before. The root systems love not having any boundaries.
Some might finish in 10 weeks. There is one that started flower about 3 weeks before anything else. Started flower 9/1/24. The Punto Rojo and Meao Thai will probably finish February, but they tend to vary 2 to 3 weeks. The mother Punto lasted 27 weeks.
