And last is one Balkhi Repro (also from TRSC I grew in 2020) that has been in the ground since May. And her 4 sisters that I nearly killed off by using dense soil in pots and overwatering, that went in the ground July 11. 3 rebounded very well and the 4th will still produce something -
Yeah Afghani #1 should be considered like a true Hashplant however Stardawg is an Hashplant hybrid due to Chem being an Afghan x Skunk cross of some sort... But sure the Hashplant qualities shines in Stardawg and are quite obvious !
Did you tried making extracts with her Skotty?

It always surprises me how much of a difference 5 degrees of latitude makes. I'm around 47 N and my g13hps are barely starting to flower. Haven't begun producing crystal yet. The ones I've grown seem to have an earlier pheno that's done the last few days of September and a later pheno done around October 10th. The later pheno had good mold resistance. We'll see how it goes.
These pics are a couple weeks old now, I'm sure they're flowering by now. My Balochis are dragging their feet a bit, fully tucked and throwing a few hairs but no tufts. My 2020 Durand Line plants are just starting to flower. A Shahjoy is starting to tuft, the Zer Karez is very close. Just harvested the pollen from a male Zer Karez. They both seem to be outstanding, branches coated with frost and greasy hashy dank smells. I hope they have botrytis resistance. I'm impressed by by your Sholgar, how early it is. Need to grow mine out next year.
Holy crap that things loaded with nugs. Never seen an Afghan #1 with so many fatties hanging off it. Nice one. I'll post pics of my Purple Hindu Kush x M10 (Nevil's Afghan #1 from Sacred Seeds in the early 80s). Two of mine take after the M10, they're indistinguishable from the Afghan landraces I'm growing. They're late to trigger flowering, unlike the other Afghan #1s I've seen. Not flowering like an 'American' hashplant, the stretch pattern and later flowering are Afghan landrace traits. The plants that take after the purple Hindu Kush are much faster to flower.
Here's a look at my big 88g13HP. It looks like two plants, the front branch has tracked the sun so hard. Makes me think about what it would do if it wasn't crammed into the space it's in. Out in the full sun with no plants around it she'd turn into a beast. She's a beast anyway, over 10 feet tall and big branches. Easily the biggest 88g13hp I've seen. The picture is deceptive, it's fish-eyed, squeezed taller and thinner then it really looks. It's hard to get a good angle because the garden is so overgrown. To get a picture of just one plant I have to lean back, hold the camera at an odd angle, and zoom in as far as I can. It gets more and more difficult as the season goes on because everyone gets bigger and bigger.

The picture is from a few days ago, I'll post some new ones soon...
I’m at 42N and have to be at least cognizant of the possibility of frost in mid-October (to go along with the annual tropical and extra-tropical storms, dense fog and other weather phenomena that make it challenging to grow outdoors on the SE Massachusetts coast). This notwithstanding that I somehow nursed an insanely slow Tirah last year through November 18th. I have to imagine the struggle to get to the finish line where you are up closer to 50N is quite real.
Yeah, the Rustam Kush are finally showing tufts; the slowest and fastest are shown below. They pre-flowered back in early July and then said what’s the rush. Also very different phenos, the tall one is just now sucking energy out of huge fan leaves on the main stem; none of the others held onto their large fans like a couple of these Rustam Kush did. The short one has red petioles and super long horizontal branches for her size that will have to be staked soon. Will have to see how they hold up to the expected tough fall weather, I’m guessing they won’t really be ready until late October. I saved pollen from the lone male and have already started to make crosses with the Sholgar and Waziri Repro girls, and will hit the Rustam Kush girls when they look receptive -
As for the Sholgar, it’s quite like a Balkhi plant that gets out of the gate faster. Significant stacking and plumping since the last pics. Getting a sweet vanilla peachy scent off the one I topped by mistake and her sister has a slightly gassy Mr. Clean thing going on -

Loving the Waziri Repros too, they seem to be headed for a quite a bit earlier finish than their mom who lasted until Oct 29th. The biggest is almost 9 feet and two more should hit 8. Liking the spacing of flower sites and the comparatively sparse and small leafing that keeps a lot of air flow through; baseball bat colas are nice to look at but are far more likely to mold and take much more effort to monitor and treat. Their mom had a lanky flower structure too. All are piney smelling with one with lime and two with orange accents, and the fourth maybe a citrus cleaner hint -
Last are the Balkhi Repros. One went in the ground mid-May with the rest of the in-ground plants, on the left in the pic. Compare leaf and flower density with the Waziri Repro to her right; I’ll have to watch her closely as the fall comes and things get wetter -
The other four were hastily thrown in on July 11th to save their bedraggled asses after I foolishly tried to grow them in 4 gallon grow bags using heavy garden soil that retained too much water and started killing the roots. All rebounded although the trauma has put them flowering about 10 days behind their sister -

I'm at nearing 52N , 3000ft elevation in the BC interior and everything i do out in the greenhouse is by light dep. I am still running a cut of Grandma's Hasplant by Bodhi (irene og x 88g13hp) and she is in an 18gallon tote filled with the Tom Hill basic recipe adjusted a wee bit. The greenhouse is at day 36 of 12/12
and beside her is a wide leaf 88G13HP from f2's made by barefrog if i recall correctly. Mites are a yearly pest in this part of the country and they absolutely love sucking the life out of the 88g13hps. I had to order 10,000 predator mites that I released a few days ago so hopefully they colonize and stick around.

They look on target for mid October. Most of your Afghans do. Anything that isn't showing tufts as this point has me worried. October 20th is about the latest I can have a regular type plant out, one that isn't extremely mold resistant. I'll still have losses to mold but I'll be able to enjoy quite a few mold free flowers. My Afghans and Baloch plants are dragging a bit, they're definitely switched to flowering but they're just starting to form tufts. It's going to be very close whether they finish in time. Plants finish very quickly this far north. I don't know how they do it, with temperatures below 20 degrees C/68 degrees F and hardly any sun. I've decided they store energy in their surplus lower leaves. Here's my Zer Karez from Indian landrace exchange's 2020 Durand line project.

Round mound of leaves. Just starting to throw lots of hairs. Here's the Red Baloch.

She's a little wilty, it's been dripping a bit of rain so I've been keeping them dry as possible. My Purple Hindu Kush x M10 that are M10 leaners are flowering at the same time as the landrace Afghans. They look exactly the same. This is good for authenticity, bad for finishing before bud rot time. Just starting to throw tufts.

Here's one that's in the middle, a gorgeous little hashplant. It's fully tufted, just starting to lay down crystal.

Not all hashplants are used for making sieved hash. I'm growing Kali Ram Hashplants and an asphalt pheno from Nirang village. From Trident Seeds. They're the earliest 100% sativas I've grown. The Nirang asphalt pheno is very early, the fastest maturing one.

Their progress is scattered all over the map. Some are barely showing signs of flowering, others are throwing hairs, or tufting, and this one looks like it'll finish by the end of the month.
That makes mine sisters of yours. Grandma's hashplant fits right in with them. Here's an updated look at mine. She's started throwing tufts, slow for an 88g13HP. I've had variable levels of mold resistance. Some rot immediately, others don't rot at all. The big branch in front looks like a different plant. Wouldn't it be a bitch if it broke off? I'm going to tie it on extra secure today. I haven't measured her in a week or two, got to be close to 10 feet by now.

Crazy how big it's gotten, easily the biggest 88g13hp I've grown.
Last two years the first observed botrytis hit on Sept 11th here. At this point I just view it as a probable fact of life. Spraying a weak 3:1 water to peroxide solution periodically after it appears has really helped keep it under control - that and constant inspection and removal of impacted flower sites. Fortunately last year the huge Tirah plants were mostly pretty resistant; I did chop one that was a pain in the ass early and ended up taking a couple of feet off one or two of the others, but it was a Hawaiian Hashbud x Balkhi cross that gave me the most trouble.

Looking good @therevverend! It's truly is amazing the difference of flowering due to latitude! Here are my '88G13/HP at 42N. Plant could be cleaned up, but that is life! There is always tomorrow.

Looks great! Have you had luck with predator mites? The few times I’ve used them here in Canada, as precautionary I’ve gotten mites and lots of em. And I’m not the only one… had a friend with a greenhouse and the plants with the sachets hung on them were much more invested then those without… first year they were used, yet again precautionary…
Interesting strain. Looks to be infected with purple death spot.

I released 2 kinds of predator mites a week ago approximately, 6000 of one kind and 4000 of the other. I have already noticed a massive reduction of the mite infestation. Right now the 2 spot mites are turning orange and starting to gather at the tops of the worst plants as they begin thier over wintering phase. I can see predator mites in their midst doing the job they were brought in to do. Not seeing any webbing and turning over leaves on other plants and lowers is showing minimal to no mites. In the spring I will release another 10,000 plus some rove beetles.
