Meet Genghis, the 35 day sativa

[R.I.P. Overgrow]

Okay so here's the deal. Just for shits this spring I germinated a few hundred bag seeds I had gotten from mids over the previous year and planted the best 50 along with 8 strains i had purchased to get the best phenotypes. I put the germed seeds right into the moonshine Soil mix (OG), under a 1000Watt HPS for 12 hours of light/12 dark. we also had CO2 (no PPM reader) and a climate controller/AC (85*F during the day/ 65*F at night)

Some responded better than others. However I had a Sativa that finished in 42 days, and was medium yeilding and had an AMAZING high. I truely feel this is my favorite smoke out of the 50+ strains ive tried. If giving it at least one week to account for the stretch before flowering, I think I'm looking at a 35 day strain. It's a Medium/low yeilding plant with very little stretch that really responds well to Low stress testing as well as FIM and SCROG, not really a SOG plant tho. Also it's extemely durable to temp. as my cab for the 2nd grow has gotten over 100*F on occasion and it hasnt stressed at all. It unfortunately the first grow yielded a little over 4 grams at under 16in. tall. There were quite a few factors that led to the low yeild however. I started all the plants in 16oz solo cups and transplanted them mid flower to 1gal grow bags. Also we had some ligh leak issues and the plant was never fimmed/lst, resulting in a single 4gram bud that had medium density (closest to the Lifesave ive grown).

the smoke report was the best part though. I am a very heavy smoker at 3-10 times a day, and .3grams in a steamroller got me extremely high. There wasnt a noticable body buzz, and I expected that because we harvested it with 1/2 of the trichomes being semi-cloudy.

So I reveged the plant in a 1 gal grow bag and from 2 shoots the plant exploded in reveg like nothing ive ever seen. The only downside is that it is a hard strain to clone.

Anyways, this is the start of my 2nd Genghis Grow Diary. I took the mother that was in the 1gal grow bag and threw it into an 18gal rubbermaid container under a 400W MH and vegged it for 1-1/2 weeks. I took a few cuttings from it to give to people for backups then flowered switched the light to 12/12 once again on the 14th. since switching the light cycle it has taken another growth spirt and just started flowering yesterday.

These pics were taken the day of this threads creation

Sweet.

 

[Ogstradamus]

Nice...sounds exciting can't wait...

 

[treehuggers]

Yeah...35dayish is a little rough, don't you think...?

 

[rastamonunika]

Ill be staying positive regarding this one =) I hope that it really is a full blown sativa, and that she flowers round' 45 days! That would be delectable!

all the best

Love and Light

ya i really dont believe it myself. That's why this is the 2nd yest grow to determine the truth, but i kept records last time, and it def. finshed in 42 days from seed

 

[Hunt4Hazez]

Serious gene anomolies, probably not good for breeding, Interested to see grow reports/pics. Good luck, positive vibrations yeahhh.

 

[JollyGreenGiant]

Almost sounds like some C99... It finishes ~ 49 days.

a 42 day flowering strain.....hm, I'm having a hard time grasping some of the short photoperiod strains that are pure indica, and the people have the pics to back them up. fastest I've ever had anything reach maturity is 52 days, it was a heavy indica bagseed. the fastest known flowering strain I know of is like 43 days and that is from an unsubstantiated online source, although they did give a good write up and its not impossible, now on the other hand, a sativa that takes 35 days to mature and harvest.....thats like believing you can fly.....I've grown sativas that didn't even have "recognizable buds" at 20 days flowering, just small spaced calyxes and pistils......not to mention you haven't even "finished" this strain in 35 days....only 42 which is why I am seeing what I believe to be a misunderstanding of your plants or maybe even an embellishment of the truth....but none the less, I have a hard time buying it.... "long live overgrow" or whatever they all say....

 

[bluebublelove]

sorry if I come off bitter, but its just so hard to believe....

sativas take a long time for a reason......



ain't nothin like the real thing ba-by

 

[R.I.P. Overgrow]

wow talk about a pesimist. That's why i wasn't going to make this post until after this cycle was done, but what can i say, im excited and stoned. the 42 days i was referring to was from seed. if you start a plant on a 12/12 schedule it will still stretch and grow w/out the onset of flowering, and will "auto flower". This strain just started flowering while it was short and finished in 42 days from being planted. It finished almost 2 weeks before my most indica Lifesaver pheno. I'm not saying its 100% sativa, but it has slim long fan leaves and buzz was very high with little stone. I also cut it according to the trichome development, as 1/2 were semi-cloudy. I didnt wait for any to get even fully cloudy let alone amber.

I'm a realist.....not a pessimist....

curious about 'genghis'
what kinda light did you grow it under? what nutes did it take? how long was the veg? how big did she get? was the yield pretty healthy?

I'd love to see a picture, youve got me interested.





hears a shot of some of dj shorts flo, my fastest flowering, strain with sativa charachteristics, I can get her done in as little as 55 days. shes a afghani x purple thai..... oldschool landrace genetics.... 50/50

 

[R.I.P. Overgrow]

It was grown under a 1000watt hps/mh w/ co2 (no PPM reader). It was the Moonshine Mix from OG, organically grown and we didnt have to use any nutes, just distllied water. It was a med- Low yeilder at like 4 grams, but that's no judge because it was such a small plant. The nugs were about as dense as the LS, and far more dense than the Hog's we had. during the light cycle it would get to 85*F and 65*F at night. But even if I'm totally off and this thing flowers in 42 days this time ill still be happy

 

[bluebublelove]

wow, 4 grams from a co2 pumped room under a 1000w of hps lighting or is it mh....that was fimmed AND lst?and scrog? you did alll that to one plant in those conditions and got 4 grams? how long did you veg the strain for?

 

[bluebublelove]

what is moonshine mix from og, by the way, I'm not familiar with all of that.

 

[R.I.P. Overgrow]

Ill get the moonshine mix for you, my grow partner has that one written down somewhere. It wasnt vegged at all, that's the point i was trying to make by the 42 days being a 35 day flowering plant. Also it wasnt fimmed or scrogged. The yeild was tremendously impacted by the fact that was started the grow in 16oz solo cups, and that there was no veg time. The whole point of that particular grow was to test the random phenos and pick a good mother for the strains i had purchased not to get a ton of bud

 

[bluebublelove]

good for you overgrow lives on.

 

[natefrog]

ok.......wheres the pics?

One of the varieties I have, 'Crisscross', is a very sativa-dominant GB hybrid - I can only speculate as to its parentage, (and would rather not go there), but it is VERY sativa in appearance, although not stretchy - it bushes sideways into a 'candelabra' shape. The buds are fairly dense for a sativa-dom plant, but have the trademark bud structure, and the high is extremely potent and trippy. I did hear a tale that some who grew and smoked it regularly eventually stopped, as it was 'doing their heads in'
And it flowers in 49 days too - it'll go longer, but it's ready at 49. I'm surprised it hasn't popped up here before - although given it has no 'strain heritage', and I'm not even sure if I spell it right, it's not surprising, I guess.

Also the purple Flo I just grew was partly-done at 42 days - I havested over half the buds at 42 days, and the rest a week or so later.
