Maria's Subtropical Outdoor Guerilla Grows with Connoisseur Genetics (Perpetual Journal)

[Maria Sanchez]

The Lemon 'n' Lime Jones packs a hit, that's for sure.
The flower, now nicely cured for maybe 3-4 months is dank!
Has a kind of kerosene with ammonia smell at first,
but has this back note of something like sharp lime or bright fruit.
Hits you in the face and head almost immediately.
Has a bit more body than most of these other girls.
Makes me walk a bit funny, like I can barely control my legs.
A little bit of a lag coming out the other side,
but more relaxation than dullness or heaviness.
The seeds from this girl, from the Grail x ThaiFrican father
should make the offspring a bit more sativa/hazey,
but will be a nice slightly hybrid combo with power.
Thinking about running those seeds next round.
Possibly.
Pity that Lemon 'n' Lime Jones bud was so small.
The first girl that ripened mid-summer.

 

[Maria Sanchez]

Great show you put on for us and I'm happy to send you more seeds for the great show you doing this run

Still a lot of room for improvement, though this year's weather has been terrible Oct-Nov.
I will take you up on the generous offer of the seeds, but maybe a bit later, for next season.
Many thanks!

 

[Gato420]

Thanks my friend.
Where does that bear saying come from?!

If it's from the break, then it's traveled back down the plant to the branches below it.
I think I'll still get enough from the bigger Sticky SSSTN to fill the jars.
Two months ago I was looking at a realistic half lb to lb, now ... not so much!

Next season can't come soon enough.
I know my plan this time -- start them at the start of July, let them veg 4-6 weeks, show sex early to mid August, flower through to ... some time in November (at 12-16 weeks, which is what most of these are).

Going to run the last two fem Thai Madness, plus their nieces/nephews in the Thai Madness x ThaiFrican (see if I can find a male to back cross to the fems), and maybe throw down some of the Lemon 'n' Lime Jones x (Grail x ThaiFrican), for something a little faster and chunkier.

Or, I may just give in to the need for more SSSTN and drop those last two fem seeds (as well)!

I'm spoiled for choice. Decisions, decisions!

Hi Maria, sounds like something more systemic to me. Have you grown in this soil before? Maybe something in the rainwater or nearby?

Hi @Gato420
Definitely possible. It's reused soil because two out of three pots are re-vegged.
Plus some local broken down leaf material from near the site.
Could also be the ants that were taking up residence in the pots.
Not a very ideal situation.
Next round I should bring in some new soil / coco / amendments to the site, and not reuse.

 

[Maria Sanchez]

For the Grail x ThaiFricans it would be -- Day 241: 135V + 106F
For the SSSTNs and Grail it is ------------ Day 380: 145V + 96F (that's 13.5 weeks flower)
For the SSSTN x (Grail x ThaiFrican) ------ from Day 85F (one plant) to Day 77F (most plants) to less for one plant.

In other news, its been a few days with nice warm temps, up to 30C, plus a fair amount of sunshine.
I'm sure they girls will like that, maybe it'll start a new push of new pistils, who knows?
Though tomorrow will have a fair bit of rain, end of this recent typhoon, though almost no wind right here.
Then temps will be daily high-low around 20C-23C for a week or so, rain on and off (again!)

Will be looking for the right time to chop the Sticky SSSTN, but want to give her as long as possible/feasible,
and also chop time for the fastest of the young seed plants, which is an SSSDH pheno (I am assuming),
though others from that group are coming along too,
but two in particular are more on the Thai side of things, and will be much, much later.
Then either the Fluffy pheno SSSTN or the Grail NLD pheno.

That early broken cola from the Grail x ThaiFrican, and those early buds from the Sticky SSSTN are presently dried and bagged/jarred.
I will give them a while before testing.
Don't have huge hopes for the Grail x ThaiFrican, just very little trichome development,
though the SSSTN sticky early buds look like they'll have something in them.

 

[Maria Sanchez]

There was supposed to be quite a lot of rain today, but only a small amount came down.
Keeps the flowers drier, though I don't think you-know-what is a problem yet, still not that cold.
But it means I'll need to make a visit to water tomorrow (ideally).

Edit: a bit more rain came down, with more scheduled. Still plan to visit.

Think I'll take that faster SSSTN x (Grail x ThaiFrican) (SSSDH pheno?) down into the laundry bag.
Maybe one of her sisters, too, if it looks like time.

Need to figure out what I'm going to do with all that Grail x ThaiFrican that dried out by itself.
It's still hanging on the walls of the 3rd floor level (or should be!)
Four or five long colas, but they are super fluffy and airy.
Time to find some more jars and containers!

Left GoldenTigerThai
Right (Honduras x Panama) x NewCaledonia

No idea about flowering time

Been battling Thripse, PM and chill temps. So just hoping there'll be some decent bud to harvest.

Looking ok imo, but slow development and less resin then I would expect at this stage on the HP x NC

Had to supplement the amended soil with liquid ferts, the HPxNC didn't like that...

Looking very fine!
You're doing a great job on keeping these sativas at a perfect height for your tent.
Thrips are nasty, so you have my sympathies there.
Those and spider mites are my most detested indoor growing problems.
Keep the humidity down and the airflow circulating for the PM.
What temps do you run at?
Must be getting cold in your part of the world now.

 

[Maria Sanchez]

They've fixed the front gate and fence, so I can't easily access from there now.
Thought I'd just go back to using the bat cave entrance.
But just realized, that from that other direction, I think there is piled up trees and branches from the typhoons.
So I'm not sure if I can get in from the back.
Need to make a visit to check things, maybe start harvesting.
But not sure if I can even get in there now.
Wish me luck, because this may get tricky and messy!

 

[BOMBAYCAT]

Good luck getting inside. Those typhoons really messed you up. I made some cobs and they are aging. No mold so far.

They sure did. Weather so crazy this year.
Now it's back to cloudy and rain almost every day.
November usually cooler, but not like this!

Good work on the cobs.
Feel free to share some pics with us!

Spring-Summer Grow -- Maria's Haze Heaven Hacienda!

Luckily I could get in from the bat cave side.
Though there are only about 10 bats left.
Maybe they left with that last nasty typhoon.

Temps around 18C-21C low/high.
Wet, raining on and off, cloudy.
Extremely humid, around 90% +/-.

Day: 82F - 90F

Seven SSSTN (Sticky) x ThaiFrican

Let's start with these little ones.
Six photos of seven plants.
One just ... not so photogenic, shall we say?!

This is a faster SSSDH dominant plant.
I cut her today, and she's now drying right next to me.
Pics below.

More open pheno, maybe from the Thai side.
(But I don't know what the Karibe looks like.)
She's gonna take a while yet, still mostly white pistils.

The pearl pheno, still rolling along.

Later but balanced pheno here, I quite like!

The slowest flowering on this girl.
Also looking very promising!

Back to the SSSDH dom pheno that I just cut.
Faster means smaller in this case.
But good flower development, and she has a great diesel stank, haha!

Tasty!​

Spark it up!​

Spring-Summer Grow -- Maria's Haze Heaven Hacienda!

Day 380: (re-veg) 145V + 101F

Grail (NLD pheno)

14.5 weeks flower for this lady.
Great effort.
She was in the smallest pot, so most prone to drying out.
But she took the typhoon and wind the best.
Kept shorter, with many colas.
Lost a few, but three big ones left.
I cut two of those today (top of one needed to be removed),
and am leaving the last big cola on the plant for a bit more time.
She has lots of other smaller side colas and buds, too.

Peace and Love,

~MJS

Super Silver Sour Thai Nevilles

This Sticky pheno girl came along nicely in the last week or two of terrible weather.
The calyxes did swell out a lot more, but still not close to her first round of flowering.
A few white pistils here and there, but largely she's done.

A few months ago she had a number of big tops.
But after the typhoons and the split stem, Sticky is mostly just one cola.
I cut this off about 1 m long.
In the photos I'm still holding the bottom of the stem, it's even longer.

Peace and Love,
~MJS

Supercool Pictures,Maria!

Thanks, but all credit to the artists, I just stood there holding the buds!

Congratulations for your harvest!

Thank you, it's a relief to finally make it to chop time.

Happy indeed, and many more happy days to come with this stash, hehe.

Harvest time!

Chop chop! Buds hanging to dry and stash jars getting prepared.
