Everybody on this thread is killing it! All the plants are beautiful, I can't get over the leaf serrations on the Big Sur, I get excited.

spring led to some action in my soil bins, after making seeds in winter.
April 30th
All NLD x Jamaican f1, either LaosxJ and PBBxJ, don't think that's a pure Jam, looks and grows like a f1. Also resisted some shitty conditions already, like frost early, hails & gushes mid and now some heat. Loves the heat though, I'm constantly feeding.
June 16th
my guess this is PBBxJam f1, so I'll post this here for you to follow along solving that mystery. Preflowers already showed a girl, hence I'm giving this some attention.

July 7th, those double serrations make me curious
July 14th, with the inevitable pruning...
It really hurt making that first cut, but can't have a 7ft tree in October^^

Ummm banana blueberry ice cream, the best of temperate and tropical climates...
You grow any unusual varieties of Avocados like the huge round ones, or the ones with black, thin skins?
The organic ones we get at the market here are an insult to the Avocado gods - still green, watery and super small... I've given them up. Pecans and Macadamias are awesome in tropical climates too.. I couldn't believe the size of the pecans we could get in Australia - about 2 1/2"
I wouldn't be up for sharing smoothies either.. more like comfrey/nettle/horsetail/willow mulch..
Here's the UEL lines I'm working on, and have been gifted from Arnold - Outdoorking on Seedheaven.
The SxL is my septoria resistant selection, it's the one drawback of the strain, but is getting better every year with heavy selection pressure, especially with these numbers. That plot is from 1 female and 1 male out of 68 last year.
The Mountain Gold rooted fastest out of the latest batch of cuttings. All under natural light. Will get some shots of your work soon.

Hello @bonghopper!
To your question about Avocado I very large tree on my property over thirty feet tall and as wide, that for years was loaded almost annually with very large fruit, but they would all come ripe a month before in Sept I got there all but one year, I got a few. I severely pruned her back and grafted four other very large winter varieties onto her which were cranking last year until the hurricane took her half down and of course all the fruit.
This past season she is just establishing her new growth so the best I can hope for fruit would be 2024/25 UUUGHHHHH! But the my large plantings of Banana should give lots hopefully by this winter. The red Thai papaya and Pink Lady are already loaded down with fruit hopefully hanging on till I get there. We also raise red claw crayfish for food. they get up to 1/4 lb and taste very similar to lobster.
I know you said about your UEL line but please. what is her lineage? They are looking very happy indeed. And yes please keep us posted on your work.
CHEERS

Kind of a crappy pic of Avocado tree.

Lovely Pics, bad news with the avocado crop, at least it's not totaled. Nice one with the Cray fish, they're a decent size, you got me thinking! You know they're clean then too. Irish sea is fairly polluted here, and lobsters and crabs over harvested. The fishing boats reap but never sow.. and the snake eating the frog, ha!
UEL is ABG13 x SMCG, maybe more to it as it's Reefermans - the Santa Marta is probably not pure.
in the UEL S pic is F6 S1, F6 S1 x F5 and F6 S1 x F5 clone
the UEL SxL pic is at F7, they're starting to get stable for septoria resistance and selection towards less/no sedation, and a sativa high. Aromas are limonene based, with some fruity, sour and hashy undertones, very friendly smelling. There were some evil smelling ones (chemical/rubber/funk) in previous generations that didn't agree with me, they also tended to be less septoria resistant - which is an absolute must for here.
7 weeks flowering, finishing end Sept/early Oct at 53N - early, with really decent flowers.
Arnold has a good write up on it here: https://seedheaven.org/product/ultra-early-sativa/
There's indoor and outdoor pics.
Crosses well to anything so far, would really compliment the Oaxacan... : )

Sorry I'm not sure if that's against the rules of IC mag to link something?

Real Sativas really are a new world to me... She will take some extra time(which i'm not used to)!Must be around week 4 flowering now.
Any smells coming off her yet?
@RobFromTX
Smell no cannabis till now! Just like some random weed plant from outside in the bushes. Stem rub also like some mild herb. Maybe later there is something coming.

Sounds delicious Rob!
Thank you for your kudos. I do find the fragrances can vary even with clones in different grows. How are your ladies stacking?

Am I too far south to veg purple satellite at 37N? I had 5 seeds, 3 female 2 male, all flower soon as they matured. Started them in first week of may and had them outside by May 25th. I up-potted June 2, and by mid June both males flowered. The females only showed preflowers by then, so I stuck 2 in a 10-gallon fabric pot and put one under 24/0 porch light but all 3 still flowered.
I culled the males and kept two females. Flowering onset at 90F+ daily and high humidity while they are in a pot is putting them to the test, we'll see how they do. Loved the look and vigor of these, hopefully I can grow them better next year.

I am at 42N here and all my Purple Satellite are going into heavy preflower. I like to give these a good early start indoors and put them outside buy June 15th. I hope you obtain a descent harvest.
Thank you for sharing your progress and please keep us posted.
CHEERS!

Thanks for your quick reply @vermontman, since the pictures were taken I moved them to a sunnier spot and introduced some fertilizer to help them along.
