Last summer was the 2nd year I'd tried these seeds, but the first time I got females. The first year I got two early developing males, so I tried again last summer, this time with three plants and scored two early flowering females and an early flowering boy too.
How is it possible to cross two tropical varieties and pull out seeds which reliably start developing when nights are only 9 hours long? They don't have nights that short in Honduras or Jamaica, but so far all of the 5 of these seeds I've tried have been perfect as far as kicking off flowering right at the start of August here at almost 46ºN.
The two females I grew out were rootbound together in a 3.5 gallon container, so its not all too impressive of a show, but there was enough meat on them at harvest time for some good smoke and I made a small batch of F2s also.
This first image is the two females as they were just getting started on August 3, showing off the slightly broader leaf veg foliage.
The larger female three weeks later on August 24
These next two are the HonJam sisters on September 22
So, as you can see I got a harvestable, smokeable plant which I could've taken in as a very early harvest on the equinox and all that came from tropical landrace genetics, it seems like a difficult trick to pull off, I'd it seems impossible if I wasn't witness to the fact that it is.
