Scai, silver blocks the action of ethylene by binding to it and therefore they cannot form female flowers or drop leaves. I'm not too sure what all GA3 will do to or for the plant as it is a hormone itself. Adding hormones to lifeforms usually produces serious side effects. Think distended abdomens from HGH and bitch titties from Deca or other steriods. Not to mention tumors, odd cell growths, etc. If it has been shown to be benign it might be worth a look, but I am ignorant of such info....
Malawi, browned out pistils:
She's pumping out some sickly sweet trichs!!!
Heat stress on a HazeThai:
Trying to get the temps down and stabilize them:
I need a portable AC unit..... Central air + outside temp swings are screwing me over... oh well. Next time around.
lol, 3 hrs later temps were 78F... The central air dumps into that room mostly but since the outside and house temps swing through the day it's very tough to keep constaint temp in there. I'd prefer to use the central air to buffer house temps and a portable AC to control just that room. Currently, I freeze and the plants are comfy or I'm comfy and the plants roast.
The last pic is GHT/Leb hybrid. 12/12 from seed in a 5gal bucket. She reached about 24 inches (60cm). Smelled of haze with Leb skunk/funk coming on as she aged. Top was hit with Malawi pollen, bottom with GHT pollen. I sampled her last week and was not impressed.... Both Haze and Leb parents were much stronger. She is culled. I may try a few more seeds of this cross..... We'll see...
I pulled the glass from my HQI pendant a few weeks ago (puts out much more UVB). The Malawi girl has really ambered up and has sun bleached leaves/bracts. Plus, she's more mature than the previous clone....
A friend (familiar with the first Malawi clone) sampled her yesterday, said very potent.
I hit my strongest haze and my largest Luang Prabang with her pollen. Hoping for good things from that!!! lol I just wish that particular Luang wasn't so damn SLOOOOOOW!!!
Im not familiarized with the lebanese you are growing, the leb lines i have experienced were sativa landraces with auto flowering traits, a bit like moroccan plants in behavior but with different leaf traits.
It's difficult to cross a pure haze and not achieve higher potency than the parental plants, guess the malawi will work great for this task, she always adds lots of potency to the crosses and i have the feeling a good haze x resinous malawi is a great way to go.
Dubi, do you think Haze crosses, your Haze/thai to be exact, would/should gain strength in most crosses like a pure haze would?? Also, I only had one specimen to judge, so maybe another would have been better.... It was very relaxing, good smoke. Just not more potent than the parents....
The haze thais are better yielding and stronger than pure hazes.
If the haze thai x lebanese was not a big improvement then i would consider to use other indica lines for hybrids (pakistan chitral kush or a good afghani wil do, or any fast flowering and potent modern hybrid in the 50-60 day flowering time range).
Only one threw more limbs. Pushed them out from her cotyledons. She's about three months old, 10/14 from seed, about 10" tall, and just now showing a little more than preflowers. And she grew up into her light bulb.
Three Malawi x Lebanese. The one on the left is recovering from a crushed stem. Two had much longer internodes than their sister. The shorty also has the most powerul aroma.
