Welcome Rajas,
Yes, the Beldia line 1 plant number 2 cannabinoid analysis posted in the first page of this thread and in Beldia strain description on our website is indeed a pure THC chemotype.
Beldia line 2 is a different line not analyzed yet, but i'm sure Beldia line 2 is richer in terpenes and cannabinoids than released line 1. There's a Beldia line 2 x Beldia line 1 F1 hybrid listed on the R+D section of our website.
Regarding the adaptation of a pure tropical P1 long flowering sativa landrace to northern and dry continental latitudes, it depends on the latitude and when the bad weather and cold really starts in autumn, but most probably you will need to outcross the tropical sativa with a faster flowering line, crucial point is not only to lower down flowering time, but also to speed up the flowering onset, if you don't want to use rudelaris or indica genetics then you can use a fast semi autoflowering sativa like the purple Baglung Nepalese, Beldia or Lebanese, then later select and breed for plants of the cross that resemble more the psychoactivity of the pure tropical sativa, if you don't find it in the F1, you will find it in the F2 if you play with enough number of plants.
Hope it helps.
Moroccan Beldia #2 seems to be a pure THC type plant, right?
Would it be possible to tame pure tropical longflowering sativas and adapt them to northern climate, without diluting it's effect, finish it timewise and add some traits for non costal/dryer climates?
It always seems sad to me to add ruderalis hybrids to sativas, especially when there is nld autoflowering plants out there, too!!
Great Plant!
Those are growing up so fast, they are loving your care FarmerL. Beautiful hill and country side too, I've never been to your area, but you have a lovely view. Best of luck brother, I've also had my eye on this strain, very interested in your thoughts after harvest.Hello my friends,
Here is an update of my outdoor plants. The same plants from a couple different angles. There is some local plants in with the Beldia's. Upon closer inspection I found a small male plant. It had gone to flower, and was culled immediately. I don't care if it seeded the other Beldia plants. The plants inside the greenhouse I would like to know they only have one donor.
The quality of these genetics for northern growers is outstanding. They have been beaten by the weather here ruthlessly. They are healthy and hardy plants. I feel that they would have more crystals, trichomes if my weather had been better. There is seven more weeks of flowering. I will harvest the plants if they are ready earlier.
Peace farmerlion
Congratulation, those look really nice! They look happy and healthy, should get a good some fine bud. Very good job!
Congratulations on harvest Farmer, that was early! It's amazing what you can do with your greenhouse in that weather, you have it dialed in better than most, certainly better than me! We missed your grows last year, but this year makes up for it. Keep them coming brother!Hello my friends, Dubi thank you again for these genetics. I have mentioned that three separate times these plants faced 60, 70 and 80+ mph winds, hail and driving rains. One of the larger plants I had to support temporarily.
Today I trimmed the buds on two plants and had to clean my scissors 3 times in alcohol. Not to mention the incredible aroma of earthy goodness with a hot pepper background.
I have read in some articles from DJ Short that he looks for the hollow meristem and branched females as mother plants. That I seldom experience. Let me show you some pictures of tough beautiful ladies who have stolen my heart this season.
I have also collected 800 to 1,000 seeds that fell from the buds while trimming. The buds are still full of seeds. I didn't find one immature seed yet. They all look extremely ripe and mature.
When I harvested the Auto Zamaldelica that was seeded. Three seeds that had fallen to the soil had sprouted and are growing. Vigorous genetics at every turn.
If you think a strains quality rests in a 25%+thc content. You are missing out on a nostalgic legend ! 99.9% of us are never going to see the cover of High Times magazine.
If you think you need hyped names in your grow room please remember this.
Mopeds and fat girls are fun to ride until a friend sees you.
Don't tell anyone what you're up to, just enjoy them.
