Nice grow. Had any hermie issues with the Mekong?
I grew out TRSC Lao Sa, but all plants had some issues with hermaphrodite tendencies (some managable, some not). As I understood this seems a quite common thing with Thai landraces.

Salutations!
Nothing so far, but they have only been flowering for maybe 4 weeks at this point. With that said, they have tolerated my environment quite well up to now; the Mekong have been a lot less sensitive to my environmental conditions than the Burmese in my (very limited) experience, while still being almost as vigorous.

This is good to know, I have some Lao Sa seeds. What did you think about the final result? Worth the trouble?

Great strain, very potent, great overpowering high.
The buds filled up nicely for a landrace, unlike some other Lao strains that had pearl pheno's.
Only issue I had were the hermaphrodite tendencies. Some were managable, others quite extreme and had to be cut. But they all seem to have it.
Seemed to me the bud is always going to be a bit seeded with that particular strain.
Not a big deal for me for personal use. But I'm also looking for something Thai to breed with, that has a simular potency and high.

Just to be sure, you do realize that CBG Zara is not supposed to have a high right ?

Yea that's actually why I was interested in it. I have been searching for a reliable cbg seed line to play around with the genetics and make hash. CBG Zara seems like the only regular cbg line I see available on the market. A lot of other seed banks are only offering fem or fem autos cbg cultivars

OK. I can't give you much info about the CBG Zara but I did grow the previous Kalamata Red accession. It might be slightly different from the present one. Still What do you want to know ?Yea that's actually why I was interested in it. I have been searching for a reliable cbg seed line to play around with the genetics and make hash.

I ended up grabbing the Hopar along with some Dakshinkali to play around with soon. I'll post an update when there's something to look at

Was it worth growing a second time for you? How was the overall effect? Was there any heaviness or 'hangover' effects to be found like some Afghani lines? They describe it as euphoric, creative, and psychedelic which is the effect Im looking for combined with good hash traits. Did you find any of the red stems and were they better than the green? I see the most recent selection they mention breeding with only a single male, less stretchy individuals, and shorter flowering so I wonder how that is bottlenecking the line. I appreciate any feedback

It provided a pleasant high, warm but introspective. I was not really impressed tbh. Also I wouldn't call it psychedelic at all, and there was no heaviness or burnout. No doubt good stuff for quality hash !
As for the plant itself, it had booming vigor and kept wanting to grow very big. I didn't use any nutes, only repotting in bigger pots and it had no problems with that. It was very clear this was a very strecthy plant and there were definite signs of tropical "blood" in it. HOwever the internodes were compact so that was a good thing. It started flowering at equinoxe which was way too late for what I want and was the primary reason I didn't repeat. I forgot to mention I grew it on my balcony, that's why I need something that finishes much sooner. I was glad I tried it, no regrets, and I would gladly vape it if you gave me 1kg of it but not something I would care to grow personnally again. It's an interesting plant for breeding. I'm very curious about the Arcadian strain though.

Thank you for the info @Lebanizer
Sounds like I would have to play around with the line a bit to find what I want. I wonder if the psychedelic phenotypes are recessive, linked with the longer flowering, or just found within greater numbers of the population The photos Ive seen of kalamata plants show a really nice morphology in regards to branching and stretch, sort of why I got hesitant when I read they were selecting for shorter and faster types. How would you describe the resin on the few you grew out? Oily, dry, sandy? Did the resin release from the flower easy when handling and dried? I hope you get a chance to try out the Arcadian and post about it as it sounds like another great Greek heirloom from delicorganic!

@clockwork I didn't make hash myself so I can't comment on the quality of the resin. I'm just saying that based on it being pleasant bud, it woud be probably make a good hash, especially if you bear in mind that it has hashplant ancestry. Is that why you have interest in it ? Don't hesitate to get that new accession and tell us how it went.
