Liamba

[Mustafunk]

Cool pics Vapor, that is certainly a frosty plant! I'm afraid it will be tough to find firm males on the offspring of those selfed seeds, they should have all female genes.

After watching your pics, now I'm 100% sure that this is the compact Angolese pheno between my "Angola X Meao Thai" females:

The structure of the bud and the calyxes are just like ACE's mum used in the 2008 Angola Thai hybrid and selfed to be given back to Rainha G as well in pure form, so the similarities with your plants are pretty understandable. I hope my thai phenos will be nice too anyway!

A friend of mine is reproducing now another different liamba strain that I got from a guy who went to work to Angola, although it looks more "sativa". Hopefully there will be some pics in the next months.

Peace.

Very nice the bud you post reminds me of the # 13 pheno i have. She is smaller in veg and in flower, for me she stretches like mofo if i give her room in her pot. In the coming week or so i will post full plant pictures of the 4 pheno i have. I am wondering what would happen if i made a few seeds from the male sac i have growing, if there would be a chance of males, all the seed i have made is from nanners{end of flower} not a male sac. thanks for the pics lovely buds! much thanks to rainha for sharing with me been having a blast growing these planties i feel honored.

Some new blood coming up. The first pics are the last of the original seed i have ,there is 6 females.

This is a seeds that was made by a liamba nanner at end of flower in my congolese cutting, See what we see but she stinks big time on the stem rubs. You can see a few donors came up on the bottom of the plant they are the same seeds, i will take cutts of them when they show sex and chop and grow out, leaving the original plant to flower by her self.

These are the seedling from the original liamba moms that had nanner at the end of flower, most of all of them are females, Wanted to see how they turned out. A few of them put out male parts{one sac} if stressed{tight roots} then will go back to female when they start growing again lol

Nice jungle you have right there!

 

[vapor]

getting close.//

 

[vapor]

Complete gapp when time to harvest and take pics, i had the camera right beside me too lol. So i will post some nug shots of the 4 phenos as they dry up./..This is number 13 you can see if you look close some pollen sacs. Not a biggie if you are careful. Hardly and seed gets made.I have a few more liambas flowering so i will grab some shots when they come down too.I have seeds of the moms flowering too so when they come close i will show you a pic or two///..

This next run{start of week 6 of flower} of liamba's{13 mom} is from seeds that came from the nanners at end of flower just a few seeds. It seems to be doing what the mothers did from seed the first time and unlike the clones they have that kick in terms of vigor during flower{did not have the best run from clone last run, live and learn}. I think i will just keep a few of the moms and grow this one from seed{need a male} and dial the clones in as we go. The last picture is a congolese X angola red{nanner pollen} just for fun and oo boy she is smelling so nice. All of the Congolese crosses i have try'd thus far have not turned out any where as good as the original clone we have. But this one i am thinking she might be a good combo. Much like the lemon boot polish of the congo with a little something extra on the end looking forward peace

Looking frosty... how many weeks are you chopping them normally? Most people in Spain are finishing this Angolese LMN at 10 weeks, leaves and compact structure leads many of us to think they probably have been hybridised like this "Congo X White Widow" , which has a very similar structure which seems to be signature from the breeder's selections, the buds look almost from the same strain and this is a 10 weeker too with a great fruity smell and energetic effect:

White Congo:

On the other hand, with the help of other passionate friends we are reproducing two original liamba strains brought by a worker straight from north Angola. So far you can see true african structure and tropical behaviour. Flowering around from 16 weeks and onwards until almost 5 months, close in flowering times to the Ghana strain sold by CBG, so definitely untamed and legit liamba strains. First ones came from Caxito village, very close to Luanda city. Tiny calyxes and beautiful burgundy stems:

Your Congo X Angola sounds nice by the way.

Vibes.

great news mustafunk.

Me i have 4 pheno from the original seed. Some look not so desirable till later in flower i could see if you did not let them go you might not think they are any good, There is a big tall stretchy pheno that popped up in the original seed. .... I will be growing this strain for some time to come she deserves some work and i think she will shine in crosses. Time will tell, needs a male got some more seed to sift

Very nice Musta !! Good luck with the repro my friend!!

 

[vapor]

This is a pic of original seed mom 17 she hermied real bad the first few times i grew her at the end of flower. I lowered the nutrients across the board, still a bit to go....happy i took the time with these mom clones to learn them better, much thanks, these plant have been teaching me much......

 

[Mustafunk]

Quite nice producers I must say! How many weeks were them on the pics?

peace.

 

[vapor]

they got 3 weeks left to 12 weeks. They will yellow drastically from here on out.....

 

[vapor]

There is a couple phenos that like more food then the others but not a huge amount more.....

 

[vapor]

Liamba 13 this run turned ok more work to be donet{13.5 weeks flower}....
These are from the original moms from LMN seed stash. These are the ones he kept for himself, they are different then the cutt he shared{I found/kept 3 uber females, hunting for males}....

So the last two runs for me i have been playing with a few things and well lets just say things were not as nice as i am accustom to. So this run i have learned from my adjustments,And thing are on point this run, happy to have learned from these plants! These shots are around day 60 will have some more at harvesto...Ps i did find a true male in the last bit of seed i had from LMN stash Thanks for looking...
