Is it similar in smell profile compared to the smaller one? Seems like they all have the same organic smell. Which works well for me.

Yeah it does sucks, but If you look at the Bright Side of it, now I can smoke a lot of bud early without feeling guilty conscience about ripping too much Bud before harvestDamn that sucks man
The broken cola was huge! Biggest that I have grown in My over 20 year growing Career, The picture doesn't do no justice to The Bud but it's was huge, bigger than 2liter soda bottle.
There's the cola and in other picture The cola is cutted to smaller pieces

I keep kicking myself about getting more orient going for a better producing pheno. I jeep going back and forth with myself because of I’m trying to get the China yunnans going as well as keeping up with the ethiopian, honduras, and nepal Annapurnas. So much variety such little time. Going to run this one again?

I know that feeling mate so many good strains , but limited space & time. Yup I got 4 OE cuttings in My balcony waiting to get in to growing Room. They are not the same pheno, where that Huge cola came from, they are from another OE that I have going, It finishes little earlier, are little frostier , still solid big yielder, has bick thick donkey dick buds & good bud to leaf ratio. ATM I got 3 plants 2 x OE's & 1 x C5 Haze x Kali china.. Gonna Harvest 1 OE on end of this week, it's Been aprox. 9 weeks on flowering now, other 2 plants gonna go for maybe 2-3 weeks. Next round gonna be 4 x OE's , downsize My pots From 9litter to 6 litter , veg them little less time and build a scrog, use drippers(this run I handwatered) other than that it's pretty much My usual system: Atami Wilma XL4 modified in to automated drip to waste system, airpots, straight Coco Coir medium, Canna Coco A & B nutes & PK 13/14, 1000W Gavita(on current grow I had to dimmed it down to 750W cause I underrestimated The stretch of C5 Haze, Even tho lamp was mounted in over 3 meter ceiling plants took some Heath damage from lamp Been to close and allso started to do some exessive Fox tailing on 2 plants now near the end of bloom, I think that it dealayed finisshing of those 2 plants by couple of weeks)

I hand water personally buttttt I only have a 2x2 for flower so it’s not a big deal. And I’m not doing multiple feedings during the day. I feel like these landraces don’t vibe to well with the multiple feeding techniques. I feel you about the stretch of these sativas.Fry weight
This round I let be in a 1 gal for two weeks veg because I was waiting on more coco for a couple others and didn’t want to stress out the Ethiopians to much last time by pinching them. Boy is it different this time. There past the light and bent zig zagged along the sides to have room.
one Ethiopian is over 4 1/2 feet tall not including the pot or lifted platform I use to hold them up in a 5ft tall tent. And the branches are as big as the whole plant was last time because of pinching and slight over water in the begging. But I’m happy with them though as long as they don’t stress herm.

Hi @-OSAKA CASIO- Sorry to hear the main cola collapsed under its own weight. She had a good amount of Vietnamese sativa genetics, and such expressions would have continued fattening up for a few more weeks!
Hope you still managed to finish properly the rest of the plant and the other Orient.
Thanks! So far these orient pheno has been my most get stuff done cannabis compared to the sativas I’ve been running. Must be the terpene profileLooks perfect for chop chop @Sensistar42no need to wait more.

My two feminized Oriental Express plants have been flowering for about three weeks now. Unfortunately the one on the left had some pollen sacs that appeared around week 2 of flower. I removed them but missed a few and they have released pollen. Some brown pistils on that plant, but not too many. I've been spraying them with water to stop the pollen movement and hope there won't be any more.

This is really nice strain that I have grown several times and also a version where it was crossed with something else, maybe nep jam? I can't quite remember...anyhow, I have some fond memories for this strain.
Recently I found some 6 year old fem seeds in the fridge and so I popped one a couple of months ago. The seed germinated in about two days and has been growing right along ever since. She has been in flower for maybe 6 weeks or so and the buds are filling in. I will post some pics soon and give an aroma report.

Sweet and compact plant, about 30 inches tall. She is 2-3 weeks away from finish I would say, and she's getting sticky. The aromas are a deep musk with some grassy notes. As it fades on my fingers I am getting a little bit of minty perfume but it is subtle. I remember the first time I grew this, back in my early grow journey, being amazed at the mothball aromas. I get a hint of that with this girl.

After getting through the pollen sacs that appeared right after flip, I have seen no further male parts. The plants will be lightly seeded but hopefully not so much to affect the end product. I had some nutrient lockout issues mid-flower but I think I am back on track. This week 5-6 or so:
