good for a uk greenhouse?
I doubt it, but maybe worth a try. I have been well impressed with your DJ greenhouse grows.
What would work with a sativa would be forced flowering where you are artificially shading the plants for 12 hours a day, that way you can have em flowering in the greenhouse at the peak of summer in june. july, august.
Two way of doing it - either move the plants into a shed for the dark period or cover the greenhouse with a cover every morning and night.
Only reason it's not commonly done is it can be a right ballache being tied to moving covers or plants every morning and evening.
With shade covering, people have finished pure Colombians in Canada with great success. Makes sense, there is a shitload more sun and heat in July/August than October/November.
Thanks folks! I've just finished the second trim on that plant, and it looks like it too might only be a medium-yielder - they're fat and fluffy, but weigh zip - certainly compared to the HOG. Smells amazing though, and the tiny dry bud I tried seemed a tad stronger than the other pheno. I've just made a bedtime spliff with some of this one, some of the other, and the scissor-hash.
I doubt it would go in a greenhouse either, without some artificial shade. 12 weeks just possibly, but not 14. As for males, no, I didn't keep any, but I've got five seeds left. Also I've got plenty from the sativa MoFlo, which are f4 now, so there's a good chance I can get a decent male out of those. Which reminds me - my other male in the stud-chamber is calling out for some hand relief, so I've got to go...

I have a Thai dominant Purple Thai male I kept as a cutting, could be an interesting pollen source.
Hey there Indifferent! Glad you like my pokey little greenhouse attempts...just a bit of fun really.
Like the idea of covering the greenhouse or moving the plants...but...just fearful of drawing attention to that activity with regards to neighbours.
It might be possible to say.. force them from early Aug thus only wanking around with them for a month or so...?
Anyway...we shall see...gonna try an auto in March just for a laugh (shock horror). Mind is open until I smoke it! DJ's the bench from which to mark.

This pheno seems more potent (and tastier) than the previous. It's early days, but that's exactly my point I guess - if it's more potent now, it can only get more potent still...

that's a funny thing to say. it could have just been the way you cured it? or how it dried, or when you harvested it, or how much nutes it got, etc..

57. Old Time Moonshine f2, pheno #1 - 70 days.
Here's the last of the three OTM f2s, and much more what I was expecting, in terms of shape, smell, etc. than the previous two phenos. It's not what I'd call a high-yielder, but it's better than other, similar Vanilluna phenos I got last year. This is the first fully organic plant I've grown, so not sure how well flower-time and yield would translate with mineral nutes, but I've made the switch now, so point worrying about all that.
The smell is delicious and strange - midway between my Cocoa Kush and Vanilluna keepers, so it has a mix of berry and citrus, but with a really dark, liquorice/medicinal back-end - very exotic. Hopefully this will remain after drying!
The buds are rock-hard, and quite resinous, so with a larger pot, I think this could be quite decent in future - it suffered a slight Nitrogen defiicency in early flower I think, possibly caused by my timidity with giving it full-strength nutes early on, and this may have stunted the buds a little, but I'm not too fussed. Overall, quite an easy plant to grow, and quite pretty too...

Looks nice. You should be able to achieve higher feeding levels with organic ferts than you were before with the mineral stuff.
Look great EMan.structure reminds me of my TWxBM...I had the oportunity to see and photograph a vanilluna and cocoa kush last fall, grown by a friend, wow those both are in thier own world of flavor and aroma...DD
Thanks mate - it's drying quite quickly, so I should be able to get a taste of this by the end of the week - it smells amazing.

58. Abusive OG Kush X Purple Afghan - 73 days.
Here's a new, and exciting pheno of a cross made by indifferent last year - seeds were given to a friend of mine, who grew some outdoors, and gave me a healthy clone of the best one to try indoors, and I'm happy to report, for ease of growing at least, it's a winner. This was grown fully organically, using the BioCanna suite, with added bat guano and molasses.
The buds are rock-hard, with very tight calyx clusters and a decent coverage of resin - not up to OG Kush levels, but then that one is extreme - this is just 'normal' coverage, but it's delicious-smelling resin all the same. It's got the same basic OG Kush funk, but with less of the earthy, coffee aroma, and more of the fuel-soaked lemons, so this could turn out to be a good representation of some of the 'other' US versions of the OGK.
Unlike the pure OGK, this plant also has very controllable and predictable stretch, making it much easier to grow in a cramped space, and the tight internode length means buds actually form into real colas, and extend quite a distance down the stem - I'm quite pleased with the yield, given it's in a 7" diameter pot. It's also very branchy, extremely vigorous and fairly mite-resistant, with not a trace of hermaphroditism.
The only remaining issue is potency, but I'll have to wait a week or so to find that one out, but so far, it's looking like a great new commercial version of the OGK - nice work!

Very nice indeed mate, you did a lovely job with her, I love the fade you always get, I flush hard in coco and never get as much fade, how long did you flush that one for?
That is definitely the Afghan dom pheno, the structure is like that far more than the OG, and the yield is somewhere between the two, she looks like she is denser than the Afghan and the resin is certainly higher. The Afghan was lemony and a bit hashy so I'm not surprised the lemon side of the OG has come out more, I imagine it is solvent/fuel and lemons as mine was sort of like that.
I kept a male and there are four more seeds so i will have to grab a cut of this one from you as it looks like a keeper. Keen to hear the smoke report, it will probably not be quite as potent as the OG due to having less resin, but it should hit hard enough, the Afghan wasn't the most potent but had a lovely safe, soft, cuddly warm high that I enjoyed a lot.

'Cuddly' eh? Sounds interesting...
This one was flushed for about ten days, apart from small amounts of molasses - the last three or four days I just gave her small doses of pure water. Definitely a keeper - the structure alone makes it worthwhile, as it can't help but produce a bushy plant - the clone I grew out from this one is now a foot tall, a foot wide, and ready to go into flower again! But I'll be taking plenty of clones this time.

Cuddly as in you felt warm, soft and safe, tactility feedback from soft furry objects became more pleasurable, bit of that ready brek man glow syndrome going on, not the most potent or the most tasty but solid in both regards. What made it really interesting was the deep purple colouration throughout and the prodigous flower production, ever bud, even at the bottom was a decent size. She wasn't all that resinous and the buds were a bit airy (as you saw at the time) but I figured the qualities she had were precisely the ones the Og lacked and the Og had all the resin, density and flavour she lacked.
My pheno is also a keeper, her structure is also branchy although she has a slight tendency to making one stem dominant, she grows small but rock hard nuggets and all of the buds are a decent size so she isn't a big yielder but definitely productive enough to merit keeping. I made a bunch of f2s with my pheno and shared em around and a few are being grown in holland and chile as we speak, the dutch ones I'll get to smoke in April.
I'm really pleased that the structure is very branchy and compact as it vindicates my long held male selection principle of picking the shortest, most branchy one that most resembled the females. I had 3 Afghan males and two were your typical tall, quite lanky males and lacked side branching as males usually do, but the third was exactly like the females in height and side branch development so I picked that one and obviously it has passed on it's structural qualities. Wish i still had him! He did pass on his colouration in some crosses such as the Purple Thai which has mostly colourful phenos, but in the Purple ECSD and Purple Cheese there were mostly green plants and the purple ones were maybe 1 in 10 of the females. The Purple Mexican had mostly mexican phenos but I did see one or two purple ones.
My pheno OG x PA did have a little bit of purple on it but that was more due to lowish nighttime temps in december than genes methinks as I saw purple hints on all my plants at that time.
I reckon she could do really nicely outdoors, maybe you can get the chance to put a clone outside this year?

I can try it outdoors, certainly, but at ten weeks it'll need a nice warm spot. I'm pretty much abandoning my last place due to 'interlopers', and also due to the fact they just don't grow right there - I'm looking for new locations now, but that's easier said than done...
I'm also looking for locations, but it;s very hard to find out of the way spots round here, it;s all intensely farmed or trampled by dog walkers.

love that forest green color, looking great.
Thanks - it's drying quite quickly actually, and looks like I might be able to sample a taste in a couple of days maybe - looking very yummy.
