Somewhere around 34° N, eh? I bet those will have a very unique scent and make decent if not fine hash.

Look at the first two nodes as they grow up. The hermie females will show male balls at those nodes. You will not see male flowers again on those plants until near harvest time, then pollen will fly. Awesome they show those balls the first month, on the first two nodes.

Flowers when root bound, reveg is super easy, but I notice a lack of root bumps on stems and attempts at cloning have failed. Likely local contamination issues as nothing is cloning easily here. Going to try again at a different location and see again.

LOTs of males... heh very hardy genetics, fantastic berries and cream type flavors from a cross to Frankie's Church from Chimera. :) Still have yet to flower out a female and try it, only made seeds and smoked those flowers so far. The cloning issue I need to overcome first. heh

A guy here has a quest for red oil like the old Leb.

Bekka Valley is a shame. The place was hash central, until the damn wars.

Hello everyone.

Saved the strongest plants and they were all true males till the end.
Really liked them, but have no room to keep them long term.
Will have to get more Leb seeds and try again later.

then there is HFH leb 27
LEB27 is sold out and is scheduled for reproduction in 2022

Leb27 is an “old danish” hashplant brought home from Lebanon (probably from the Bekaa valley) by danish travellers. It was grown a lot in the late 70′ and had a renaissance in the beginng of the 00′. Then it kind of disappeared in its pure form, but was used in many crosses due to its resistance to mold and pests. A few years ago i thought it was a petty that it was gone from the nordic fields, so i started a bit of detective work to find the seeds again, and with help from some old danish potheads and Esben (HFH) i found enough seeds to start this strain up again. Leb27 is very dominant in crosses and will bring the earlyness and resistance to your new cross. It makes a good dry-sift hashish, but also good oil. Leb is one pretty plant in your garden with the color change in the autumn. You will experience colors from light purple to a deep red pheno.

Best outdoor
Indica/sativa hybrid, with a mostly indica effect
Very mold resistant
Very good for outdoor breeding projects
Good potency
finishes late september (54*N Lat)

I've had plants, put out what look like male pre-flowers on the first branches, that put out pre-flowers, which is from around the 5th to 7th node. Only for those to be the start of branches. Then from the 8th node onward, true female pre-flowers are put out. You only get bananas if they're left a few weeks extra, which you can use on another female that's a lot less mature, and full of white pistils, like this Michoacán sativa.

The Bekka Valley P3's(?) I have to work with are mostly male and the ones you mentioned @marijuanamat, with very few true females. I cull everything but the females, because they're rock solid amazing. Very handy being able to cull the hermies early.

Might I suggest using STS in the future instead of rhodelization? ;)

I use colloidal silver when i do. I make it myself with ionized water and 99.99% silver wire and a 12v phone charger, and it lasts for years. Not only that, but I've still got some from around 2009 and It's still good to go.

You could keep those males with just a LED shop fitting or a few LED bulbs mounted to the top of a small box as they do not need much light to keep and clone.. Just take a few cuttings of each and keep them in small pots, so they don't grow too big, then just trim them when they do get to big, I find small seedling pots work well. When they get root bound, cut half the roots off and put fresh soil underneath. I used this method for years, and every time you need pollen take fresh cuttings root those and use the original clone to pollinate the females.

Pollen can also be collected, dried and stored in a freezer for 10+ years. ;) I bought STS materials years ago and still have 100% viable stock solution from back then. I started selling STS on etsy I have so much silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate left over. lol
 

Douglas.Curtis

True, but I sell full strength. Two sprays, full results ;) I have no clue what anyone else sells, other than it usually being the 1:9 dilution.

STS is great stuff. :) I'm a big fan of femmed pollen the last few years and I'm hoping to reverse a Lebanese or two in a few months, they throw so many males and herms lol.
(Edit: never reversed any, sts no longer for sale, focused in other projects)
