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.

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!

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.

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.

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...
