dubi, how would you classify the lebanon regarding "stink strenght"?
Thinking on growing it this spring, per its description it should able to stand Seville weather with great potential, but... my concern being odour.
I have a great growing space, size won't be a problem, neither stealth (sheltered by 5-6meter reeds) but odour could.
Which ACE sativas with great (or only) outdoors potential would you grow here that have the least odour possible?
Pure landrace sativas like Ethiopian, Honduras, Lebanese, Oldtimer's Haze or even Malawi have very discreet aromas in flowering and are very suitable to grow in your climate.
Hope it helps. Saludos!
Hi repuk,
Usually pure landrace sativas are super stealth regarding aromas in flowering, they don't stink like skunks, diesels and kushes do.
Landrace sativas have delicate and soft aromas in flowering, that can be only appreciated when you are very close to the buds in flowering, their smell is almost undetectable outdoors when you are a few meters away (considerig you are growing just a few plants and not a whole field)

I will be running four Lebanese plants this summer. I'm so anticipating spring to come. February is half over already, March snow storms and April showers. I wish you all the best with your upcoming grows. I will certainly post up some pictures later of mine when the time is right. Peace
Kaskadian, I'm very interested in your indoor grow. I would like to switch my indoor grow room over to a mother room. Any information you gain with this grow, please share. I'm sure a few others will try her indoors as well. I have only ever kept one plant over the winter. It had it's own bedroom, but light scheduling didn't work out very well. With needing things out of the room at various times the light cycle was interrupted frequently. I wish you the best my friend. Peace
Good stuff. I notice in the pictures the flowers are made up of mini 'foxtails' not one solid 'bud'. I've noticed that in many landrace and Middle Eastern strains. It's a cool feature. Even though I consider Lebanese 'hashplants' I don't consider them Indicas because of this tendency. And because they're used to make hash. Leaves can be quite narrow.
In some ways the foxtails are more efficient for making hashish then thick buds. Because the entire surface of the foxtail is exposed. They break down faster so you don't want to thrash as hard as you can with an Afghan. I'm curious about info on hash making with this Lebanese. Micron size of the resin glands, are they sticky or dry, etc.
There's a good thread in the Landrace section about Lebanese with lots of great info. Recent pictures and comments, especially good stuff about Real Seed Company's Lebanese. I think it's very similar. Lebanese strains seem to have high to medium CBD and low to medium THC.
If you want to get super zonked you'd have to make a concentrate, hashish or whatever. Otherwise smoking a joint of bud will be a fairly light stone compared to the modern hybrids. This is a plus if you're a CBD user you can toke all day and still function with the benefits of the high CBD content.
These photo sensitive strains are a bit tricky. If they get root bound or stressed they can start flowering. If you're at a high latitude and start in March or early April they can start flowering in early to mid May. By the time they snap out of it they start flowering again because it's July.
I'd start in late March. They don't need a lot of nutrients, we've all seen pictures of them growing in the desert with no water or fertilizer. I've seen these kind of plants have a 'slow and steady' growth rate. If you're using a container you can choose a size appropriate for the size of the plant. Considering the plant won't get very big or bushy I wouldn't go much higher then 5 gallons. I've had success with 3 gallon pots with some liquid feeding.
Of course I haven't grown this particular strain but I'm confident my advice is good because I've grown other middle eastern hashplants..
If it can help you,Oldtimer haze(purple or green) x thai no have a more smell,you can be at one mt from a plant and you can't smell it...dubi, how would you classify the lebanon regarding "stink strenght"?

Thanks to Dubi for explaining the lineage of his lines in detail, I'm quite fed up of the various seed co's with their vague descriptions.
