Sept 30, Day 41 of Flowering





Moderate to high resin quantity, fantastic autumn colors and aroma that's constantly evolving. The resin smells like sweet pine with red grapes and a cream undertone, i think the cedarwood may be present it definitely was as seedlings. I believe the red grape/fruit aroma is myrcene which also helps with absorption of cannabinoids as with pine. Classic!

I'm pushing for day 50-55 I'm hoping they'll make it, according to the weather forecast there is a stronger chance of frost again this week. The leaves have been withering away from the cold already. Lovely shade of golden colors.
The seedplant that i took clones from was mostly comprised of dried dead flower heads and stems from a failed grow, the plant produced new shoots before almost completely dying I'm really lucky. This would be my first harvest of lebanese. I've also recovered a couple of seeds. The last picture is of an seed plant of the parental plant of the clones.

out of 12 seeds sprouted most looked comparatively average to each other, 2-3 stood out between them as larger specimens. One grew BLD single leaflets but the other had a shape with much more dynamically allocated growth.

I wish I was east of the mountains right now. Last couple days have been soggy with off and on rain. I took my Sinai top a couple days ago, right before the rain hit. I was finding mold spots so there was no question of leaving it although I could tell she wanted to go another week.

It's obvious this strain doesn't like the rain. I haven't lost very much and it's been cooler and wetter then usual so she's not helpless against the mold. I've left the lower part of the plant. Still tossing white hairs but she's got grey mold spots.

I might have to take a couple more large colas but I'm interested in seed production on my seeded limb. No matter how bad it gets I'll have to leave that. Plus I'd like to see the difference between her taken early and fully matured. There's small flower sites that are all white hairs hopefully we'll get a week of sun and I can let her go long.

Surprised by how long she's taking to finish she really is a narrow leaf variety. She was flowering with the Autos in late July but she already had developed white hair bud sites. We'll go back two weeks before that and say she started flowering by at least July 15th. So she's at least 11 weeks right now!

I was expecting a late August to mid September harvest. Shows that landraces are really hard to predict and makes it unlikely she has any Indica sap running through her stems.

Those Lebanese plants are beautiful impressed by the resin production. So often with these landraces we see them grown either seeded in their native lands with minimal water and nutrients or grown experimentally under weak lighting, too high of latitudes, in less then ideal conditions. Grown with Western sinsemilla high yield methods really lets them express their full potential.

Hi troutman and the thejact55,


I have some variations in the Chitral as well. 2 females are at the same stage of flowering for 4 weeks now. Another one is just at the second week of floweirng and I guess if you grew a larger population there will be much more variation. My plants are not tall, they are like 3 feet tall but I have to say that this is probably from the hot summer this year and I could not water them regulary, which means that they can handle very dry climate really good. I like to have a lot of variations in strains, always a adventure and you can find very nice phenotypes & genotypes.

Landraces will always have lots of variation and that's what is great about them.

My outdoors mis is nowhere near as chunky as the previous photos, they've been flowering for about a month now but I have no intention of harvesting until they are done or until the forecast goes below 15f. Never grown outside before, I've done nothing beyond some training and super cropping early on though so that might explain the smaller buds.

The buds are all pink though, really pretty.

For all the Australians out there RSC does get through here. I've bought and received 2 orders now :D Lebanese and Chitrali with Parvati for freebies. Really nice looking flowers @CannaZen and @Dogtown I haven't grown any of mine yet but looking at yours makes me excited to pop my Chitrali/Lebanese :)

What is the leader in a trippy sativa type effect in the Indian strains? I have only run Kerala and while nice was just too mellow or mild to interest me. Just one plant.

I hear the Manipuri is great or maybe the Nanda Devi.

Water-

i think you need to actually finish growing the plant if you want them to be stronger.

manipuri had some plants that were very potent, clean and trippy, nepal strains have some trippy plants but are not as potent

You talking to me? I don't see anyone else around. You talking to me?

I take it you saw I take sativas down before amber glands show? I did take the Kerala down more normally as this was a few months back. I don't know why I am responding to such stupidity. :laughing:

Nanda Devi was surprisingly potent and has the best quality high out of any of the RSC himalayan landraces I've tried. Flavorwise, it's nothing to write home about, but decently tasty. Not the easiest to get rosin from, but that might vary from one plant to another.

Keep in mind, nanda devi was also selected for hemp, so even if you start them somewhat late outdoors, expect them to reach several meters in height...the internodes are very long. 3/12 germinated (compared to 100% germination from Kumaoni), this was from fresh seeds too, but getting this one female in the end made the acquisition worth while. I think this strain is definitely worth looking in to, but grown outside of it's place of origin, expect high rates of somewhat controllable hermis (the two males were also hermis, but male dominant):

Manipuri, on the other hand, didn't show any signs of hermi problems, and the potency, flavor, and high are all top notch. For me, it finished between end of December and Early January outdoors in the Pacific NW.
