This has been a great thread to read through and some really inspiring work, thank you for sharing! Have you looked into short-flowering highland South African Sativas like Ciskei? I haven't grown any but reading reviews it seems there are some that maintain sativa personality while having semi-auto tendencies, could finish end of October at your longitude.

Appreciate the feedback!
I am always on the quest for new genetics specially sativa/NarrowLeaf genotypes. Gotta confess haven’t got the experience on my belt with much African genetics, besides touching the Malawi x purple haze from Ace and a few Durban, I haven’t worked with African genetics. I will look it up.

I’m really looking forward to this local heirloom that I’m testing out that is supposed to finish in 60 days outdoors

Garden going to be poppin this summer homie.
Full House!
How was the Mango x LB smoking?

Cheers bro, have a great weekend!

hey brother, garden is plenty and plants are growing healthy still kinda dormant the show starts in next few weeks. Cant wait to start the real training.

The Mango Biche X Lambsbreath I would describe as fruity, incense, woody, earthy, light solvent, celery notes, green apple, ripe mango... such a smooth smoke brother. The effect is felt at heart chakra and crown and 3rd eye chakra.

Effects ranging from vast love sensation and grounding connection, meditative brain wave, some what euphoric start with blasting images and reminiscent of past experience, then lethargic effect, retrospective. Very spiritual smoke, I could see it used in rituals and shaman practices as a spirit cleansing.

Sad thing about it I couldnt reveg the plant I flowered. Its gone that pheno... Good thing about it we still got some seeds in the bank so we can definitely do some preservation efforts to keep it in our vault.


Hope you doing good brother, Yowie be out here praying all day every day.


LWG.

Spent some quality time in the Gironde region SW France, explored some cultivars grown by relatives which they have saved seeds year after year for over a decade, growing same type and preserving.

Outdoors guerilla with the possibility of cross/open pollination. Grabbed some seeds to explore back home.

Obviously had some of the most powerful artisanal cheese goat and cow.

The cannabis culture in France is as hardcore as their wine and cheese culture, hoping that one day it becomes legal and the work of the dedicated farmers comes to light.

What would you compare those French strains to? I get the impression there has been a lot of exchange between France and its many former colonies when it comes to cannabis culture and strain lineages. But I have no idea what cannabis is like there.

I smoked that bud there I showed in the picture the most dominant taste was peppery spicy slight menthol and musk not fruity at all, very cbd like because this one was old cure. The other bud was more of a modern hybrid.

I put 3 seeds down will be looking forward to what they are. I would think predominantly Sativa leaning cultivars and also fast finishing varieties are favoured due to the wet autumns.

I’m definitely not a expert on the subject but do know that many small farmers persevere seeds year after year and also cross/open field pollination is a common occurrence at least in the region I have the relatives growing, south west.

I think it should be a great cultivar to discover.

Very unique, this is a narrow leaf SEA Filipino, I have used this before with great results brings vigorous branching and very unique flower structure to anything it touches. Sadly last one standing from my original batch, hoping a female as I already spread the male counterpart in some other crosses.

This is the reveg getting it’s sh@ts together and making lots of progress on the natural reveg, I up potted and added more nitrogen rich compost and soil amendments.

I had seen recessive traits that resemble of Mexican heritage, the flower structure seemed of Mexican flower, but foliage in veg mostly looks skunkish narrow leaf, this pheno was fist to finish flower and only one to survive winter.

Flower times under lights tops 100 days so potentially good to finish outdoors. Hoping to see lots of great things from this plant, plasticity and resilience so far incredible.

She full on veg, pumping those auxins.

I have one of the parents genotypes in veg as well, Duterte’s Nightmare

What I like about this Filipino is the vigorous growth (landrace trait??), and the side branching. Hopefully we get to see all the faces of this phenotype.

2 different Thai phenos from Ace seeds. They really need the sun to take off, taking time to veg. Taller pheno has sweet cream fruit stem rub.

They will be up potted later on when they harden up.

This 2023 over winter reveg was the only one to survive, very resilient qualities, exceptional phenotypic plasticity and based on winter flowers (done under lights) I judged them to lean on the Mexican side.
