That’s Quick! I’m hearing good things about Green Mountain Grape …Looks like a good performer
Amazing early gal, she is gorgeous. I'm sure you have grown a lot of the Green Mountain Grape V'man, is this fav clone selected from hundreds of females grown or not so many?
On the strength of these photos I will have to get some packs for sure!
Hey dug!
These were just three clones out of my favorite plants out of 8. About half are green phenos and half will be purple but all have that green Welches grape juice/fruit fragrance and are extremely consistent in flavors and high growth patterns but vary on flowering speed. And is super easy trim! Very similar in growth to Purple Satellite
But much denser buds. And amazingly mold resistant for such meaty ladies.
Thanks for the reply vermontman, I'm definitely saving some spends for these. That is a nice easy selection process, great that they work indoor and outdoor. Appreciate your hard work in making these seeds available, happy holidays to you and yours!
I recently ordered a pack of GMG. I think I read somewhere heat resistance is average-high. Where in this spectrum might they fall? It can get pretty hot where I live and I sometimes find I am finishing an indoor crop when it can creep up to 90-95 degrees.
thanks for any info. Also, looks like I am going to have to F2 these PBB
No kidding Cactus? Must be Essence of Locker Room or something like that, hehe....I will have to try to see if I can discern any differences....if I ever get another male plant that is.
I am late for the party. Hello IG! Hi vermontman! Merry Xmas! Happy Holidays and New Year Everyone!
I’ve got a hyper sensitive nose to certain things. Thankfully it’s usually useful, but occasionally a curse around certain things I deal with at work frequently and certain women.
With Male plants it’s a really Dank weed kind of smell, not like say “they smell like lavender” or something easy to describe. It’s a Marijuana smell, but for me unique to males that females don’t seem to get usually. I’m still constantly testing myself but so far it’s been working. True males and early showing Hermies just got a funk about them doesn’t work with late showers that just throw a nanner here and there, only full blown balls out herms.
Just wanted to go back a little to The Oaxacan Gold
Here you can see a patch Of OAX/SKULL mid August
Note the darker green one in the group, this one turned out to be the start o the purple line.
Just that one variation that catches the eye!
Woohoo, I'm stoked...
Is this like the new Golden Age of Weed or what? It's mind blowing what is available today to the preservationists and enthusiasts.
Can you clarify for me V. After a few decades of playing with Oax/skull it began to lose vigor. You crossed this with a Hawaiian sativa. You then crossed Oax/skull with Oax/skull x Hawaiian until you found what you wanted and this became Mountain Gold. You mention this cross was made 3 times. If this was a pure Hawaiian that you started with, could you make a guess as to the % breakdown of Mexican to Hawaiian in Mountain Gold. An example would be 80% Oax. to 20% Hawaiian.
Also, have you used M.Gold with any of your purple lines. If so, did anything worthwhile develop. If this was mentioned I didn't see it. Many thanks for all the info. I feel like a kid in a candy store looking at G.M. seeds.
I've got 2 M. Gold plants a couple weeks old. One says boy, the other girl, too early but it's fun to guess. Will post pics as they grow.[/QUOTE
I will try to clarify, By 2012 my Oaxacan gold strain started loosing vigor so I out crossed it with Hawaiian Sativa after other attempts to out cross to other stains and the Oax X HA showed great expression in vigor but almost no change in the morphology of the Oaxacan strain other than vigor. That would have been considered mountain Gold. But to totally restore my Oaxacan Gold line as close to original, I back crossed it three times to original Oaxnan gold line, always back to females of that line, I believe that is called cubing which fixes traits. Now fully stabilized I again crossed it to Ha sativa then released as Mountain Gold.
I hope that helps.
Thanks V for the explanation. The main reason for asking is to determine the % of Mexican in M.Gold. Trying to get back to the taste and absolute fun it provided in the early 70's. Nogales to Tucson to home stopping only for gas and bathroom breaks.
