Thanks for the reply! I will dig some out of the freezer and give them a go when I am done my current project! So far, I have grown your Z Tribute, which was a nice smoke, and I have been wanting to start some GM Grape as well-I am currently germinating a cross of your Mountain Gold from Mandala, which should be interesting!

All in >70gallon pots, decent sun. Full organic native soil. Been shooting up, I believe the yellowing at the bottom is from a lack of water as it has been very dry here. They only get rain water along with a bit of water shared between them if I hike it up into the hills from a river. They were very thirsty until recent rains, they have been shooting up. I moved them from a pot in a pot into the bed due to the water issue (noticed how dry they were).
Some broken branches, a mix of me being rough probably and the fast growth rate. Gonna cage them probably (hopefully) soon! They are generally >28" with some probs pushing 36-40" flowering starting to come, we are northern and they are looking generally on schedule and great
Some bug damage but so is outdoor life!
Little weed bushs, looking really nice. Excited to cage this one and make it grow out a bit!
This is probs actually mg1 or 3
Purple sats, kinda wished I put em a little closer together.
Amazing lemon pledge smell from stem rubbing, i always thought that was bs but this smells just like it!
Do a weekly water in with jadam liquid fertilizer and imo pretty light. Top dressed blood meal per the big mans suggestions. Aim for weeklyish IPM with neem/karanja mix and silica. Occasionally bt spray for caterpillars.
I am pretty opsec conscious, but feel obligated to share the grow as vermontman shared the genetics, hope ya enjoy the pics man
Edit (again) pics came out kind weird? Dont know if something auto did a filter or its just my camera not being great/me being bad at photos? They are a bit grainy in photo and new growth is a bit lighter but they are exploding since rain, look better in person.. Dunno really will try to get a better pic next time

What a stellar Green Mountain Seeds grow off! You are going to have some very spectacular ladies there! Did you notice how fast they perc up with the blood meal? I think your pictures look great! Looking forward to many more from you and seeing your progress.
Thank you for sharing!!

I wish I had running water for them it would be a big help! And yes! They are praying every sunny day. The ZT2 (which I snapped some hopefully better pics of below) is my surprise fave, crazy lemon smell, looking pretty and cool purple racing stripes as she floors it to the Fall
She loved the blood meal and JLF, Hard to pass without a stem rub, especially on a bad day

But all I can say is thank you so much!
These are my babies in your hands. I have worked very hard, for again many years, dodging law enforcement helicopters, ripoffs. rat informants of the less than human kind and now with the proliferation of the legal overload of all the cannabis hype stuff. Maybe I am resistant to change, though I know change can be good to great. But seeing you and every ones posts here, Keeps me motivated to love what i feel I was meant to do.
So again thank you @rebelfarmer!!!!
And every one else for your posts here! And again for giving me the inspiration to keep plugging along. Today and yesterday I potted up both breeder females and kept the appropriate girls and boys.
CHEERS ALL!

Finally picked up some GMG, going to run 2 of them alongside some Zacatecas Tribute outdoors this year.
I asked because the more sun it brings out the thinner leaves in my strains showing off their Sativa lines.
Hello @Cactus Squatter!
Those are the two I put in my outside garden last week as clones to catch the longest days and we have been getting a really good amount of sun here so far with what looks like a heat wave on the way.

@vermontman I kinda sorta thought that was what you were getting at. Yeah, I'm at 1800-1900 ft elevation.
Those Oaxacan genes look like they're happy! I also picked up a Highland Laos at Khalifa genetics. Supposed to be faster flowering than most SE Asian varieties, still I'd probably never finish one without a hoop house. Just planned on crossing it with your ZT.
This male Laos has a delicious mango stem rub!

When you say clones, how big/old were they? Feeling its kinda later to do fresh cut clones outdoors, but what do I know LOL!
Looking awesome there! I have watched some of Khalifa's youtube vids he seems very legit, and I like his style. be interested to see how she finishes for you. I am at 1500Ft so lots of UV when the sun comes out. One of the big bennies of early season varieties is they come in while the sun is still high in the sky, cranking and building up terps and potency.
Hell @rebelfarmer!
I keep several clones around of my best plants a couple for some bud. But mostly for seed work it just makes it a bit easier to make seeds. But to answer your question these cuts are a few years old maybe now 4 generations of cuts and when I put this generation out they were already 2 ft tall, 5/6 stalked bushes. They go right out into manure compost, heavily mulched with leaves and straw. Below is last year 2023. First up Green Mountain Grape #3 clone at harvest and my two Zacatecas Tribute clones. Labled tall and thin leaf.
The Grape came in Sept 15th and the Zac on Sept 21st. It rained so incessantly I bought the biggest clear umbrella I could find, but still managed a very nice harvest despite the wettest season on record.

Hello @moose/MI! Looking great there! Ready to make multiple lead tops!
Thanks! I do have a question given my uncertainty with handling sativas.
She's recovered nicely. Pushing out 2 new tops. They are starting to alternate.
I left a nub to discourage splitting.
Everything looks good.
Would you top or fim her anymore?
Is that as common a thing as with hybrids and indica?
Is there downsides to doing this to sativa?

Hello @moose/MI!
I would let her go a little longer before topping, if at all before topping again mostly to control height or to get more bud sites, but they look good now, so maybe one more time next week or so, if at all.
I would not top any more in two weeks because you want the tips to get big enough to make chunkier buds and these will start going into flower in July finishing by mid to late Sept.
And pinching to late can delay flower and promote smaller buds.
Hope that helps!

Hello @Mitsuharu!Golden Tiger x Purple Satellite topped early at ~ 30cm... but more on the tiger side, wasn't even flowering at 18th september .Was over 2m then when i had to chop her before the harvester came.
Did you use the Golden Tiger as the seed mother?
Thank you for posting!
