Diary Indian Landrace Exchange: 2022 outdoor, 42 north

[iTarzan]

You did a great job Nain. Very patient and did nice with staggered harvest. Are you on the east coast USA at 42N? That is my general location. I still have 3 golden tiger going in a greenhouse.
One time I had a Willie Nelson that made it until Thanksgiving outdoors and it ended up getting stolen. That sucked but I had a killer harvest that year. I spent a lot of time and effort on the Wille Nelson though. Just as I typed this they mentioned Willie Nelson on the World Series broadcast. WEIRD!

@iTarzan Thanks, you’ll have to tell me how the Golden Tigers turned out. I have three of those Fems in my vault along with some Thai Pan I’m scared to run outside. I’m on the Fresh Coast btw. Thankfully this year was great but winter arrived fast.

Two Waichin, one EtxTosh, and Wailing running

Finicky girls in the tent, pH 6.5 water only with Roots CaMg and microbes. Still so angry, but to grow Himalayan sativas indoors should be interesting.

If y’all have suggestions, please chime in!!!

Beautiful outdoor! Great to see it worked out well. When you say fresh coast do you mean french or is this USA?

Good luck growing indoors. Are they in flower yet?

@laszlokovacs
I think it's around Lake Michigan in the US.

@laszlokovacs @Mitsuharu
Hey all, yes in Michigan. Thanks for following. Yes I’m in week two of flower. Stretching like an octopus haha

Cool! Asking cuz im east coast @ 42N and you got such dope results in a similar climate

Yeah good to hear- I dont grow sativas but even I know theyre gonna strech something crazy- pretty sure anyone would look like a dwarf next to your garden when they finish stretching

 

[Naindejardin]

Yeah they’re almost week 4 of flower, they doubled in size from one week ago. It’s a 7 foot tent so I think there’s going to be lots of bending and tying. Light was only at 75% so maybe that’s why the extra stretching. Anyone that grows sativas indoor know if I lollipop or just leave the leaves? Take off lower branches?

 

[Naindejardin]

Frosting up!

I grew out some Kali Ram Hashplant and Nirang Asphalt pheno last year in Western Washington, 47 degrees N. Planted directly in the ground. Best performing narrow leaf varieties I've ever grown at this latitude. Both strains showed strong mold resistance. The Kali Ram was nice but a little hit and miss, didn't dial them in the way I would have liked. The Nirang was wonderful, performed like it had grown here all it's life. Finished perfectly by October 19th.

The Nirang got huge, 16 feet tall at harvest. My big Kali Ram would have been even taller but it got beat up by the wind and had a brittle stalk and branches. Had quite a bit of breakage. The Kali Ram was the more finnicky of the two although I had a couple standouts. My biggest problem was that they didn't show sex early enough. Usually I'm fully sexed by the end of June.

Last year we had a cool spring so everything sexed later then usual but some of the Kali Ram didn't sex until late August. I was shuttling them around in containers between the full shade boys' club and the girls full sun spot. They eventually adapted to the containers and did well but it took a month of them looking sickly. The ones in the ground the entire time didn't have this problem.

The Nirang had a wonderful aromatic spicy smell, turned purple by the end. Lots of resin. Wasn't really asphalt, wasn't sweet, more of a complex licorice/incense/spices type smell. The buds of course were small and airy, as expected, not commercially acceptable but made for nice hand rubbed hash. The high is great, not much of a body effect but a nice all around psychedelic stone.

Here's some pics, the first two bud shots are of my Nirang in a container. It was the only one to pop nanners, probably from abuse. Getting rootbound in the shade, then getting moved back into the full sun, it did a start-stop-start again flowering thing. The last pic is of the big Nirang which was one of my best this year. I'll try to dig up a proper flower pic of it, maybe get a pic of a dried flower too.



Had One problem with these landraces is that they sex late, compared to
