Thanks Vermontman! Really appreciate the comments. This was a successful pollen chuck with great starting genetics. I did not really conserve seeds (oops on me), so perhaps a clone in the future if I’m very fortunate from this almost spent plant. But I am seeing some lightbulbs in my head and these genetics need to be a part. The bud density is pretty much beyond extreme for nearly pure sativa cross (especially with Old Timer’s Haze male). Between the two, she’s gotten dense with pretty good calyx to leaf. We’ve had some moisture (cyclone bomb rains and crazy mist) of recent. I’m chopping tomorrow maybe a week later than I could have. But I think the effects from this past week will more than make up for it. She’s only now experienced a few small spots of browning. Very nice against botrytis. Chop chop brighty brighty tomorrow.
Those look outstanding!
From the RUST Thread. Thought I’d copy and paste. Respect to both of these amazing breeding crews.
This is Zacateca’s Tribute x Old Timer’s Haze. The OTH was a green leaning early flowering male. He carried a lot of that old time hazey spice into the final flower. The ZT scent is present, but it is in accent for now. I note increased resin from the OTH both in this cross and others. The ZT turned the plant into a beast in production.
PS at 8 weeks flowering (with graduated light reduction- 15hrs, 14hrs, 13hrs, 12.5hrs) with 12.5hrs currently. No herm issues. I will say, she is fast flowering. I use SCROG, DIY bridgelux gen2 (3000 & 3500 kelvins for 220w), and jacks 5-12-26 at 3gr, 2.5gr cal-nit, .75gr epson salt, and 20ml fulvic acid per gallon. No nute burn at all. Might be 2 weeks left. I dusted one branch with golden tiger. Going to take sampler soon.
Great work Legal!
You actually nailed it! You won't get herms because you followed the indoor flowering Schedule perfectly! The Golden Tiger cross will not need the same light regime, should be fine on 12/12 because of the added genetics. The Baglung Nepali speeds things up greatly.
Thank you for sharing!
If I read between the lines correctly a few days back, there will be a drop of the Tribute soon. Yes? Any plans for the Oaxaca Gold and/or BSHW?ZACATECAS TRIBUTE
OUTDOOR mid Sept.
Are there any special schedules needed for your other strains? Or just the purple satellite?
Hi,
I just wanted to share my experience with Vermontman and Green Mountain Seeds. I decided to try my hand at growing some Zacateca Tribute. I threw one female outdoors and ran 1 female and 2 males indoors for a seed run along with an ACE Congo fem. I knew my plants wouldn't finish outside naturally, so I light depped the one outside and was able to get it to successfully finish although I think I chopped a week or 2 early. Better than mold though During harvest I was overwhelmed with cedar and spice terps wafting off the stems... I found the buds themselves to smell more of sour lemon, eucalyptus, with a tinge of evil gas in the back. The 2 scents are melding beautifully as they cure. So far the high is exactly what I was hoping... upbeat with that mexican warmness/happyness, I don't find it racy at all but it is sativa for sure, with a very slight comedown that floats you gently back to the ground.
I also want to thank Vermontman for supporting a charity event I will be running very soon, he made a very generous donation. It very much speaks to his character IMO. I cant talk much about it here due to site rules, but PM me if you are interested in details.
Hello MR!!
Ah great job there!
and thank you for sharing, I have never grown under all white LED except Spectrum King but I wasn't a fan of them. it just may have been my style of growing but your nugs are looking primo! I appreciate seeing well grown plants. Did you put the Satellite right into 12/12?

Shout out to Kagyu for keeping this gem BIG SUR HOLY WEED alive and in circulation and the generosity of Griot for gifting me the seeds as a repro.
