My current landrace grows.

[Freezerweed]

Hello, former lurker here. I don't normally photograph my plants, but I thought some here may enjoy seeing my current grow of Punto Rojo, Punto Rojo x Jamaican Longtime and my Meao Thai recreation. These are at 6 weeks into flower and 1 week after being tied down to promote side branching and increase bud sites. I will try to take regular photos and show the evolution of growth characteristics. After planting in containers for many years, I now plant directly into the soil of my crawlspace grow room. The normal lime green color in the Punto Rojos darkens, but the bud sites still are lime green. I think planting in the soil has solved many grow room issues, like aphids, mold, and wet roots. Which are all related to drainage.
Shown in order of Punto Rojo, Punto Rojo crossed with Jamaican Longtime, and a Meao Thai leaning pheno. Next pics at 8 weeks should show beginning bud development.

Niice choice of strains.

What are they like to smoke? Havent seen many JLT/PR reports.

Are they your crosses?

Yes. The Meao is a cross of Double Thai and Golden Tiger #1, then just kept looking for the right characteristics, like internodes, leaf, and longer flowering times.
The Punto Rojo is F2 crossed with a nice girl that lasted 27 weeks in flower and a good looking male.
The PR x JLT F1 phenos vary in effect and character. I have isolated 2 that should have extreme resin production along with some good trippy visuals.

Can i ask you why youre looking for longer flowering time? Mature is mature i figure but i havent looked into this is practice. Got some sativa hybrid genetics, 4 generations from orginal origin in Himalayan/mexican/reunion island which gives great highs from 7 week flower (though we often take it til 8).

Longer flower times for landraces equal better effects. The Punto Rojo female from my cross took 27 weeks and was electric trip weed.

Also the Meao Thai I grew in the 80s took around 24 weeks and was trippy stuff with great colored visuals. I don't have those genetics anymore.

I used to put myself to sleep at night on how I would utilize my parent's crawl space to grow weed. All I needed was an electrical outlet down there... Good job man! And using the soil level brings your plant height down too. I bet the soil has been dry for many years, have you considered putting something like earth worms in there for your roots?

Hello and welcome friend. Thanks for sharing your interesting work with us.

A few worms pop up when I'm pulling out finished plants. I like growing there. No problems with temps either. I actually lowered the plants too much this time because a leg broke on my PVC frame. I'll see how that works out, but it is not optimal.
