Yours look wonderfull. I was hoping that led lights would let them stretch less but they like to stretch.
I had that space problem too and together with the lightcycle(too long for late flowering stage landrace, too short for decent harvest for "normal" strains) i made the desicion not to try them again.
I also got the feeling they would like natural intense sunlight more.

Lol yep this is where mine started day 2 of flowering when i did a transplant to 2g pots. 4x stretch easy.

@highfidelity Greetings! Thanks for sharing these Rasolis. Did you start these plants under a 12/12 light regime or did you have do any veg phase? I have some regular rasoli seeds that I would love to make the best out but have limited space. The more info I have the more efficient my run will be.

Do you have any info on the male plants? Did they show themselves much earlier than females?

Thank you very much and have a great day!
These got started 3/29 and flipped 5/06 so about 5 weeks veg. You can see what they looked like on day 2 of flower in my post above. I definitely could have left them in solo cups for a bit longwr of flower to keep them more manageable but that was a suggestion from Al I just jumped the gun on it.

The males were in full bloom by 6/6 and the females didn't have many calyxes developed by that time but I noticed plenty of the new calyxes still pollinating a week or two after i chopped the male down.

Here's a slow mo video of me shaking him down before I chopped and collected the remaining pollen outside the room.

I washed them down a bit to remove any additional pollen and theyve started developing new seedless calyxes and should still be very smokable at the end. Seeds started falling out of calyxes at around week 8 of flower and they're almost all gone now. About to hit a couple branches with some 88 g13 hashplant and see if I can get a second pollination in with 5 weeks left. I should really be updating the landrace thread in my sig 😂 feel free to drop in there and see if there's any other detail I missed.

Has anyone in the states ordered directly from the Khalifa website with success? I plan on ordering some Balkh and Sheberghan for a future indica grow.

Hi Aladdin really sorry for the late response; I got 2 Landraces of your seedbank from ACE Seeds.

14 seeds in the Kerala Chellakutti Pack and 18 in the Sheberghan Pack.

To be honest the Sheberghan looked more like some ruderalis variety because they all started to flower within a month of vegetative grow in 1 liter pots right next to the PCK (CannaBioGen) and I felt like they weren't some photoperiodical plants. The PCK didn't started to flower at all. Blue Cool Light is what I use and a 20/4 photoperiod.

I also got some Green Mountain Seeds in that order, PS and PBB but only 11 seeds of the 12 in both packs. Sad but True and i don't get it.

I'll be able to buy genetics with a Legal Licence here in Ecuador in a couple of months, a new legal decrete in the Ministry of Agriculture that allows to grow THC varietals is coming (currently working on obtainig it). I'd like to buy more Landraces directly from you because I know they come from Cocogenes thus your work is ethic and not stained like the ACE one.

Best regards,

Hampi

Hello Hampi,

ACE does some great work both in terms of breeding an preservation.

What you described sounds exactly like the Siberian Ruderalis.
These packs are the only one which contain 18 seeds instead of 12 (because they are naturally hard to germinate).
The Sheberghan seeds are HUGE and very easy to sprout.
Please contact our team for a replacement pack.

Have a great day,
Al

Has anyone grown Kerala Chellakutti from Khalifa indoors?
Can you share your thoughts and experience with them?

I'm looking to sift through a whole pack soon.

Thanks!

Hello The Zientist! It's actually not that tricky as long as you make sure they are root bound until the end of their stretch.
For that you can simply use overly small pots so that they don't grow too tall.

Cheers!
Al,

Hi
I saw your Desert Skunk. It is an F1 hybrid and inherited the semi-autoflowering trait from Beldia.
But this sentence confuses me

: ...the Desert Skunk often starts blooming in early July and finishes in early September...

Does this "often" mean that early flowering is not a regularity?
By crossing classic autoflowering and classic photoperiod through generations, the plants that arise genotypically and phenotypically follow a punnet square.
What are the case with the semi autoflowering trait?

Thanks

Hello Kukac,

That is an excellent question.
The Desert Skunk did inherit the semi-autoflowering trait from the Beldia.
With autoflowering plants, the autoflowering trait is recessive and has to be recombined at the F2 generation after outcrossing it with a photoperiod strain (25% of the F2s will autoflower).
However, the Beldia's semi-autoflowering gene is DOMINANT which means that after crossing it with a regular photoperiod plant (the Aladdin's Skunk in this case), the F1 generation will also express the semi-autoflowering trait.

That being said, semi-auto does not mean auto. Semi auto plants usually start flowering after they've reached a certain height or when they experience some stress (the roots running out of space, the days beginner to get shorter...).
If the plants are started late in the season or are planted in some huge containers full of rich soil, they may start flowering later.

The Desert skunk will always be very early flowering no matter what but depending on the growing conditions/environment, most will finish in the first half of September whereas others may be done by the end of September.

Cheers,
Al

Thank you. That is great info. But it opened another question...:)
Have you worked with Desert Skink f2 plants?
I would like to know if there are noticeable and visible differences between plants that have the semiautoflowering trait on both alleles and those that have that trait on one allele? Regard the beginning of flowering, the speed of transition...
