Hello Al,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
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
Ive been eyeing the balkh and sheberghan hashplants. Is your overall experience with this strain been good? Good germination rates? Im not the biggest indica fan but ive read that hashplants have a real pleasant high thats better than todays hybrids. No couchlock or dirty effects. Not to mention the colors are just outstandingHello Al,
l hope you're doing fine, thank you very much for your reply.
I'm really really sad because I lost all my previous work due to a family issue (8 strains, 12 selections). I used to live with my parents and they are like a mix of the DEA and R. Nixon so, lesson learned. At the moment, I'm focusing forward.
I made a reproduction of what I believed it was Sheberghan (1 male, 2 females) so I put some seeds to germinate. Indeed they are hard to germinate because they are Siberian Ruderalis not Sheberghan. Only 10 of 16 came out. After 3+ weeks the first males appeared in 1 liter pots. One week later the females showed up too.
The company were I was working as breeder and hashish maker (with the "we honour the plant" motto, pure BS lol) is run by tricksters so I had to make clones from the Kerala Chellakutti and everything else (PCK, Panama, Pineapple Banana Bud and Purple Satellite too but they died) and run away. I'm keeping 11 Kerala Chellakutti in water until they show first sings of rooting in the stem. Excited to try them indoors pretty soon. Is going to be a long and wild season.
I will contact with your team ASAP thanks again for your kindness.
I'd like to buy a couple strains more directly from you to take advantge of the stealth shipment with the replacement pack. PayPal i will use.
Gracias por tu ayuda amigo
Take care
Hampi
What's the stank like on her? I'm interested in these Afghan skunky heirloom-based varieties.Aladdin Skunk 2022 Oktober
