So, here are a couple recent tests for Green Mountain Grape and Mountain Gold, grown outdoors in So. VT this season. Not my tests, but from a reliable friend. Hope these might be useful to you, vermontman. I continue to get positive comments about Mountain Gold, that I am trying to get out in my community!
Happy New Year to all on this thread!
Great to have a lab report, thanks for posting!View attachment 19130186

Hello @ilovegrowing!Hello fellow growers!
Last year i gave a cut of a green mountain grape f2 to a friend to grow outdoor at around 52N. That was about june(?), relativly late for sure.
She was harvested at around the 20th of octobre. A bit too late for this latitude as you can see. She got pretty frosty but she survived and finished healthy!
Despite that she finished healthy, with a beautiful grape/berry scent and taste and she provides a friendly slightly confused but still able to focus Uphigh.
She leans towards the purple satellite side imo. I went back to collect the ancestry in this thread, so you can compare directly side by side and tell me what you think.
Thanks @vermontman to share your knowledge, work and genetics! I dont have much money atm and way to many seeds to try, but i am very close to pull the trigger on your mountain gold and purple satellite. Ahhh.. enjoy the photos

I have not spoken to them lately, so I do not know. I do know that they had grown the GMG for a few years, and the MG just this year, and they said the MG was everyone's favorite. Interesting as the world seems to want to equate "better" solely on THC level!!Forgot to mention. The grape is pretty high in Cannabinoids.
Did you or your friend compare them smokewise? If yes, what are the differences?
Hey Tex!!!Oaxacan Gold went into the flower room last week. I will trim the two lowest tiny branches and try some cuttings this weekend. Really looking forward to this plant and I will be making some seeds with other Oaxacan pollen that I have saved.

Finishing some other Oaxacan varieties right now. Also, my first flush of indoor New Year's green beans were delicious. The plants aren't entirely happy with these conditions but I will get another flush in a week or so.

I really appreciate your transparency, thanks for that.Hello @bonghopper!
I have always tried to be as open and full disclosure as possible.
So with that being said a couple of seasons ago we had the rainiest coolest season on record and my Zacatecas Tribute suffered from the first time I have ever seen Septoria hit any of my plants ever. That being said my yield even with my most effected plants still gave me a respectful yield.
Now! That being said I provided a local farm that supplied dispenseries with one of my strains, Green mountain Grape and their fields were riddled with Septoria but I attribute that to serious mono culture and poor cultural practice in terms with over crowding growing in a field that already was riddled with pathogens from over use and again just really poor management.
Look at the roots coming outta the main stem on the Oaxacan, beautiful lookin red snake there, premium sativa, and a fresh bean haul at once, mighty.Oaxacan Gold went into the flower room last week.

Hello @bonghopper!I really appreciate your transparency, thanks for that.
I've the same feeling about septoria - a response to degraded landscape. We're surrounded here by intensive conventional agriculture. One year the septoria came, wasn't there for many years before, and has stayed around since. More and more hedges taken out, and more and more destructive agriculture - leading to more pathogens.. great for agribusiness.
Would you have some ideas how that farm could remediate their production? More space given to fertility building ley crops that are all brought to the soil? Are there some good plant mixes for cleaning up pathogens? Mustard comes to mind..

Did your alpine strawberries stay green all winter, got the clumping or running types?
Sorry i missed this post so and interesting find for me.And another thing which i find interesting is, i found a very similar aroma in two different genetics.
There must not be a connection, (but could be, any ideas welcome)
I have just grown a pulwama pink (ace) from the pulwama district's in india.
And the green mountain grape, contains to 25 percent the baglung nepal.
And the baglung nepal comes from the south of the Himalayas too.
Its Just a 14 day foot trip away. Non stop. Globally seen, thats pretty close. But still 1000 miles away.
Thats two times the song 500 miles. you would have to wake up very early for that hike.

But as far as i understand, strains can vary a lot even from valley to valley. All depends what the farmer is aiming for right?
So no need for any conclusion, but interesting detail i like to think.
Would be fun to explore this region to see what its all about little dreams
Yeah, thanks, that Red Snake is such a a delicious fragrant smoke...the strawberries were green up until last week or two, now looking brown. Those are just the few that I wasn't able to cover, the rest are under cloths or piles of leaves. I think they will probably all survive though. I have the clumping varieties so they just mound up. The white ones were probably my favorites and I bet next year they will produce heavily.I really appreciate your transparency, thanks for that.
