New Caledonia

[MAHA KALA]

Ceiling is really high too, smoke more get higher.

this quality is exactly what I am looking for... great to hear that it is there.

 

[MAHA KALA]

too bad I cant upload pics on icmag, it is very vigorous, I think I have 11 females or so, some of them are very tall, columnar and one is stocky.

also got I got four males, one I culled as I didnt like structure and he had no smell... so I have three now, one is very early. I will try to hit Kona Gold cut with them.

New Caledonia II x Kali China (ACE RND) 1 month cure.

Aromas: slightly sour, woody, floral, lightly fermented cucumbers, green herbs spices
Effect: hits immediately with a slight pressure on the chest, but it is totally manageable and enjoyable. Upon first inhaling, I still feel the Southeast Asian character that is reminiscent of the indica side of Kali China. However, instead of the slightly psychedelic vibe of Kali China, this strain provides a glowing, meditative high (NC II side?). It's not a vibrating high like Thai Chi, but rather more of a floaty, melting feeling that allows you to be fully present in the moment. I agree with @early_bird that you can enjoy this strain with closed eyes, drowning into a chill headspace. Overall, this strain allows you to relax and melt with universe and enjoy a meditative yet floaty high.

I might grow this again to explore this line further. KC fans will love it.

Thanks also to you @Tranquilidade for complete a grow of this new hybrid and for sharing your experience with us Glad it produces a relaxing joyful experience. the NC II mother is very joyful, social, up, but 0 stress or bad feelings, quite the opposite. Do you find the terpene profile of this hybrid closer to Kali China or different ? And potency compared with straight Kali China and her hybrids ?

Excited to know you have a bunch of New Caledonians flowering soon @MAHA KALA

Such a colorful sativa. Purple leaves on some and pink buds from others

Hey @dubi

I understand that to keep the stretch managable these beauties should be flipped to flower (11/13) after 2 weeks of veg.

The 2 weeks start when the seedling pops up out of the earth or when it has its first set of real leaves?

 

[early_bird]

11/13 early is an good approach to limit size of the plants, but you can´t nail it down to exact number of days.
Plants don´t flower before sexual maturity anyway which is longer than 2 weeks in tropical sativas.

Limit size of the pots in early flowering works great to limit stretch.

the tallest..

the longest day at New Caledonia is 13 hours 20 minutes. that's the longest you can get there... so to start with 13 hours would be natural?

 

[JustGrowing420]

Dry buds, tastes start to come out with a bit of time in the jars, a bit more lemony, herbal, spicier, it's going fast damn, I am almost smoking this exclusively last days and flying high

Everyone has their own style and way of doing things. When I pop beans for a new grow I continue the veg until I can cut clones. I usually will re-veg the seed plant and root the clones. I do not flower the seed plant; I flower the clones. So, after the clones have been rooted they get the veg light cycle (18/6) for one week then flip to flower.

Can I have some of that? Damn that looks like some kill! Nice

 

[JustGrowing420]

Thanks dudes!! @Fronk @nick11

I wanted to ask if anyone knows, is the high similar even in the shorter flowering expressions?

 

[dubi]

the longest day at New Caledonia is 14 hours 20 minutes. that's the longest you can get there... so to start with 14 hours would be natural?

Hi @MAHA KALA I haven't tried yet such photoperiods indoors with New Caledonians, but ime they were still growing vigorously outdoors here in early August under 14/10 photoperiod.

Thanks dudes!! @Fronk @nick11

There were 2 New Caledonia releases: number II was a sativa/indica hybrid type, while main I release was selected and bred towards sativa side.

I found a very nice female from hybrid type II that finishes in just 9 weeks, has great bag appeal, terpenes and high (for a 9 week plant), yet i prefer for effects (cleaner, brigther, more up and motivating without ceiling) the best longer flowering sativa expressions from version I.

Hi @dubi,

this is NC pheno 1 I got. it has double serration. it reminds me thai in the look. what do you think?

 

[Eltitoguay]

Hi @MAHA KALA I haven't tried yet such photoperiods indoors with New Caledonians, but ime they were still growing vigorously outdoors here in early August under 14/10 photoperiod.

Anyway Maha Kala made a mistake, and added 1 hour (approx) too much, I think.

 

[MAHA KALA]

I corrected it. thanks.
