How did you end up liking the chang mai, something worth running again?

That’s seeded flower from the “green pheno” Chiang Mai, she had the best structure in terms of yield and flower morphology, incredible resistant flowers, showed lots of vigor all thru the life cycle.
14-16 weeks from first pistil and lots of leaf on the flower (I don’t mind).

Dry bag smells of green tea and dry leaf, and grinding the flower crisp green apple, mango, sweet tropical fruits. I grow full organic so I smoke it with few weeks cure and she has a great taste. The high is upper but not euphoric, not super trippy or lethargic, so far no come down or narcotic effect. Not super potent but it’s also seeded flower.

Flower shows silver hues once fully dried and cured.

I would grow it again, and know that I understand how they behave and what they like in their soil (lots of air pockets and less water retention).

I could try a run with the remaining pure Chiang Mai seeds and the new f1 crosses coming out of this run, green pheno and pearl pheno crosses.

I have a golden tiger v3 thats chang mai pheno, cures to rotten meat but has the lemon green tea to start, also not tons of euphoria but seems to get the job done for me especially the outdoor one, good to know that the pure chang mai might not have the euphoria either, much appreciated.

It's a day smoke for sure, helps me get the ball running "get shit done" mood. I keep 3 clones of the green pheno, hopefully I can manage to help them survive the winter.

I heard the golden tiger packs power in the smoke. I feel the hybrids can go powerful and the more pure landrace phenos tend to be lower potency but a wholesome high (mind + emotion/vibration).

Great job bro, she is still trich out on flowers. Some different phenos come and go. All your gear is always a pleasure to watch.
Is that Yowie smoking bro?

Thanks brother, yeah its a gamble sometimes with landrace genetics hit n miss or grand slam. Yowie smoking fire bro, the cure just making them flowers smell even better, its so resinous that every J looks like a hash joint

It’s was a great 2 years for this project, it’s may now hold some peace and quiet as the results are still being tested. If this is a result of environmental factors not helping the plants thrive I still have a chance next time to see if it’s worth the shot.
The flavours are there intense passion fruit smell, sweet tangy notes, tropical smoothie, it’s vibrant smell. I love the smell.

Flowers decreased in density compared to the 2023 flower, I wonder if this flower today is a result of phenotypic plasticity shaped by high humidity and cold temperatures??
The smell is there, the size is not, still to try the high.

Lovely thread brother!!This therad and forum is so much better than the instashits now a days!
It's a tuff one... My testers never end up like testers , cant do it in the end hihihi 😂😂

Thanks brother! I love to document grows (even if they don't make it on the internet), and I can't agree more with what you said; this forum is class apart form the rest, great information, amazing growers, and most of the canna world/community is either participating or lurking.

Testers, love them or hate them!! lol the great news is there is lots and lots of seeds, I should be back on it pretty soon, taking some time off (its so shitty and wet out here).

what’s going on in the grow room at moment is a continuation of Systematic acquired resistance. My interpretation and experience with building up immunity and acclimation to cultivars to my environment.

RH% has been stuck at 80-90 %, that’s winter on the island. Add to that low radiant flux (almost no sun). It’s normal that plant get hit with mold, those that survive these 3 months evidently have a stronger immune response to the abiotic/biotic stress.

Ideally after arriving to a pheno that survives this would be the ground level for the f2 to come, the new genetic code will have that part involved in surviving the winter.

I’m focus on plant immune system and resilience, in hopes that the end result is a plant that survives being grown outside with almost no intervention.

I use salicylic acid in the form of white willow leaf/bark (processed in liquid form), salicylic acid is a well known phytohormone with a very important signaling and production of ROS and other compounds responsible for plant immune response.

Very impressed with the 3 Chiang Mai Thai from Ace, these 3 clones of the green pheno I grew last season have shown outstanding resistance, so far there’s no sign of any fungal activity and it’s surrounded by mold. Staying green despite very cold weather.

This is a very very good thing, hopefully they can keep it going until spring, I learned last year that reveg plants that survive winter is better to do clones of them and start from there rather than use the one reveg plant. The cell walls become fragile and wouldn’t handle the weight of the new growth and end up snapping off. Starting clones of reveg plants give the chance to start with fresh cell walls and makes strong branching.

Thanks for showing your work.

This I find interesting
View attachment 19125268
Temps way below 16°C and plants are still metabolizing 😳

I thought below 16° they slow down their metabolism and just arrest all activity...

I’m surprised myself, specially because the most stand out are the Thai phenos… not only are they alive at these conditions but like you said they are metabolizing at conditions that are beyond the threshold.

As long as the root zone doesn’t freeze they will survive, I’m not worried about root zone being compromised with pathogens, the struggle is keep enough foliage alive so they can photosynthesis.

For now it’s a win, it’s small steps with this kind of stuff.

I just did a foliar treatment to kill the spores that I shown on the photos.

Thanks for your interest.
