Thanks! This is a seed run as I dry vape and seeds don't bother me. I roll the flower when semi dry into cherry size balls so the seeds gently fall out, and then freeze for vaping or jar cure for smoking. Seeds allow these tropical nlds to finish in 2 months under the sun or else it would be impossible to ripen. Thankfully we haven't had a frost here yet. Because the plants are big to begin with (the ones in the ground at least), and dry vaping consumes so little flower, I end up with enough flower for the year. I have thousands of seeds obviously if people want trades. If the negative effects of an indica hybrid is sluggishness/dullness and the negative effects of certain nld is paranoia, this strain has neither negative traits. It still feels like weed (vs an entirely new drug), but without the negative traits in terms of effects. Clear yet trippy, lucid, your body is moving almost automatically so you get things done while the brain is relaxed, extremely creative and meditative with a slight headband effect around the head. A few phenos do have a slight burnout, but nothing compared to modern hybrids that burn you out after 20min.

Sounds similar to mine, in effect at least. I usually seed mine as well, but this year I didn't. They still finished, and I'm at similar latitude (south central MI). I didn't think the biggest one would finish, but I notice these tend to finish off really fast all of a sudden. Like, mid October, looked like I had a month to go. But they all ripened up within a week or so, and were all harvested before Nov 1.

edit; same on the seeds too, I have lots, so I'm always open to trades. I have lots of other things I've worked with too, too many to list out.

One last post to prove you can fully finish the JLB in Canada outdoors under the sun so long as you fully seed. 8 weeks and ready. In the wild she would have shed her seeds at the right time here with the onset of the cold preventing germination, so this is not so un-natural of an environment after all. These plants come from the cold Tibetan Plateau originally let's not forget.

That's very interesting! I'll have to try that. Will be in touch thanks.

Hello. So if I don’t pollinate the plants won’t finish? Can you please elaborate my friend.

Pretty sure he was saying at his latitude, he thinks that's the only way they'll finish in time. Very well possible, especially with stuff originating at such a southern latitude. Your mileage may vary, depending on location, when they're started, and several other factors.

Yes. Seeds take about 60 days to ripen - even nld like JLB- and the resin which is on the seed coat (where most of the resin is) will ripen with the seed. Fully ripe seeds have white/amber resin, so it us ready. If you don't pollinate, it takes much longer as the plant is waiting and keeps trying to get pollinated. Only when it "gives up" will it start to ripen. I now think of each seeded unit like a fruit. The resin is fruit for my brain and the seed is my end of the symbiotic bargain to propagate it. I hope that makes sense.

Yes, thank you, that makes sense. It is interesting for me, because I also live in a northern climate. This means basically if I grow mainly for seed reproduction, I can grow longer flowering plants. Would that work for Thais and Hazes, too, or do they take just far too long?

It all depends on when they start flowering and when the first frost is. You have to count 2 months after it's triggered, that's it. The plants will prioritize ripening the seeds over anything else, so if they get good sun I think, they could finish even faster.

Here is some processed flower of the earlier flowering JLB. I pinch off some semi dry flower (dried outside for a week in the shade under cold dry conditions to preserve terps- as can be done in the fridge). I gently roll/compress/massage the seeds out. The resin smears onto the flower so you don't worry about it falling off later due to the loose nld bud structure. What's on your fingers makes nice finger hash. I'll freeze most for dry vaping and jar cure the rest.

This small amount yielded all those seeds. The smell is of sweet black better but now with a creamy cedarwood. /floral. It's very unique.
