Sounds like one cool family there brother.Shared some buds with my son this weekend and he was quite impressed with it. I will try to press him for a smoke report once he samples further. My dad will get some for Christmas too.
I took this sweet girl down a few days ago. I had already harvested a couple of lower branches a few weeks ago and they are curing now...
She grew some huge colas that smelled like cedar, incense and some sort of warm earthy aged wood. The aromas in those last weeks really varied, in addition to those, at different times she also gave me hints of sweet carrot, geranium, mint, diesel, old leather and even parsley. She was a hairy old thing, god bless her, with many beautiful red hairs sprouting everywhere. She was a wild woman, just the way I like 'em.
This one had some moderate foxtailing. The branching was very strong, nice stout structure throughout, and I never had to tie her up. Much as I hated to cut her down, she was showing some amber trichs and the plant was simply starting to look done. Plus I needed the space. So she was still throwing a few white hairs here and there but by and large she was finished. I have a cutting from her that I just threw into flower so there will be more coming and the next one I have hopefully trained so I can get even better growth and shape. I took cuttings from that so will keep this beauty going as long as I can.
The high is fantastic. Even though this plant differs a bit from the last one, the flavor is still pretty much the same honeysuckle sweet sativa, although this current one has a more sandalwood flavor. It is so tasty that you want to just keep taking another hit because you can't believe how freaking good that tasted!
Now, rather than joints, I favor a large one hitter bowl that really gives about two hits. So I like to take a small fresh toke, maybe on half at a time, and then dump it regardless of how much is consumed, and then load up again fresh with another bowl or maybe of something else. In this way I will often smoke throughout the day, just a toke here and there of whatever is on hand.
This summer it was Honduras x Panama as my #1 favorite. Lately I've also been sampling Ethiopia x Malawi quite often and that high compares well with the HxP even though they are very different plants. Soaring, warm, happy, physically pleasant. Definitely no ceiling on either one of these varieties. They are both excellent for playing guitar, working on repetitive menial tasks, playing in the garden and cooking. The HxP is a more tameable plant though in my experience so anyone thinking of picking up seeds might take that into consideration. Also the yield is far higher on the Honduras I think as the ExM has small dainty buds, at least in my current example.

And this is how I feel after smoking it.

For some reason this little girl stayed short and bushy with almost no stretch when I switched her to flower. This is a clone from a plant that was a stretchy monster, so I'm not sure why this is staying so small. And, she's in recycled organic soil with some amendments added, but she started yellowing out on me kind of early. I have boosted her several times with Bio-Bizz Fish Mix as well as top dressed with kelp and castings, but I guess those are all very mild and slow. It's not held back the flowers which have the exact same incense and woody aromas. Very strong smells on these H x P and they smoke super sweet. I love the clear high and it was my top favorite this year, along with Ethiopian x Malawi this fall which is equally as good.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Now, are you guys growing from the regular or fem versions? I don't plan to breed so fem would work for me. But I am curious to know whether the final product you are getting is from the reg or fem.

Hi man you are in for a treat I have only grown a few of each the fem and the standard both are amazing in my opinion.
I got a very hazey pheno in the two fems I grew the other was a Panama type structure.
The hazey pheno is a very special and my favorite high but every pheno has its own special effects you literally cant go wrong with any of them IMO.
Both ones I grew were fems and seemed very similar. Fantastic plant and you will love it!
I have grown Panama fem version but I have some reg seeds that I would like to try.Have you or @Tangwena or anyone else grown Panama? If so, does it matter which version, fem or reg, to get is better?
