Latitude of grow: 50N
Location: U.K
Average yield: low
Mold?: not a very mold resistant strain
Potency: 5/10
Year of grow:

Pretty dissapointing, and the description in their catalogue was so good.
Really, these plants aren't outdoor hardy, they will be the first plants to get knocked by wind, frost or mold, whats more they arent very early at all.

Maybe this strain is good indoors, but outdoor there are much better options.

Hi!!!!!!!!! Look my wonderful pet!! We arent the only who loves weed ( Humans)!!! This is a Death's-head Hawkmoth, "Acherontia atropos". Acherontia atropos is the most widely-known of the three species of Death's-head Hawkmoth. Found throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean region, and increasingly as far north as southern Great Britain due to recently mild British winters, this moth is easily distinguishable from others in this region by a vaguely skull-shaped pattern on its thorax. A. atropos is also very large, with a wingspan of 90–130 mm (three to five inches), being the largest moth in some of the regions in which it is found. The adult has the typical streamlined wings and body of Sphingidae. The upper wings are brown with slight yellow wavy lines; the lower wings are yellow with some wide brown waves. It rests during the day on trees or in the litter, holding the wings like a tent over the body.

The moth also has numerous other unusual features. It has the ability to emit a loud squeak if irritated. The sound is produced by expelling air from its proboscis. It often accompanies this sound with flashing its brightly marked abdomen in a further attempt to deter its predators. It is commonly observed raiding beehives for honey at night. Unlike the other species of Acherontia, it only attacks colonies of the well-known Western honey bee, Apis mellifera. It is attacked by guard bees at the entrance, but the thick cuticle and resistance to venom allow it to enter the hive. It is able to move about in hives unmolested because it mimics the scent of the bees.[1]

The British entomological journal Atropos takes its name from this species.

Location: U.K
Average yield: below av.
Mold?: Pretty much mold proof!
Potency: 7/10
Year of grow:

Quite late, but its a pure landrace sat what d'you expect lol.
Very different structure from the African Sats I like growing, whereas the africans are very bushy and robust these himalayan strains are spindly with tough stems.
Rock solid plants no mold as I remember.
They actually love the rain, every time it rained I swear they would get noticably bigger the next day.
Smell of hash + tropical fruit.
Very impressive plants.

The leaves are not very serrated they are flat looking.

The bud was mild but nice flavour after a good cure, high is sativa and dreamy.
I still have a few grams of this saved that Im bongin'.
I get a licourice taste on the exhale...

SLH is a great strain, she grows huge and is very pugent. I would be wary of any significant humidity in your late season climate, because she will definitely mold. I grew 3 of them in 20 gallon containers in a swamp and lost alot to mold (had to chop early - beginning of Oct) but the good bud that i did pull down smoked great and had all my buddies asking for more. I wont grow this one again outdoors unless in a greenhouse or a more controlled environment.

Bottom line is it will probably grow great outdoors for some people, but she doesn't like the late season humidity in my climate (45n) in the NE....Good luck

Hey guys I didn't grow this but it is good grow information on a particular strain. This is from Chamans Tropical growing thread.
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=25174&highlight=south+america&page=3

Colombian Red.

Origin very contraversial, but likes the dryer seasons and higher elevations. This plant starts off very fatt leafed and has tighter nodes which makes you think it's an indica in many ways or a hybird, as it even smells while young too, but will finish to be very if not 100% sativa.

The Reds will grow about 1 to 2 feet tall, sex, and flower only dobleling in size under 12hr conditions and tropical climate if that as too a Gold when starting can finish 3 or 4 times her size easy. the Reds will put out red colors on leaf stems, branches and main stalk too. Leafs are a darker green then the golds and the smell is strong, even with out rubbing or touching. When cutting jeje stand back even...It's a more pugnent, sweeter smell.

Leafs don't revert as much as the golds, but doo to a degree.

It can finish in half the time the Golds but realy do prefer drier climates since can get some mold on their flowers. Very heavy on the tric's as she looks sugar bathed indeed.

High isn't as tripy or energetic as the gold but sets in faster and hits realy hard, thought disorientation is easy...forgetting what you just did, where doing or wanted too do is too easy.

It's taste is awsome, some chocolate even but it's not easy too take in, the smallest hit for some can make me and friends cough. High doesn't climb after smoking but does last for a considrable amount of time and doesn't make you feel hungover after, few to many hits can put you out though as your body goes numb...not like the Golds where you can smoke more anytime and feel higher and alive agian almost make'n you get up and dance'n. Both will give a good luagh as you do the stupidest things...

Easy to clone and revege when young, likes water only when she needs it in comparison with Golds. Very easy to care for, with plenty of branches and great main cola the yields are rewarding.

Amazing reports, incredibly helpful, but surprisingly redundant. Do we all just grow the same strains over and over? Ive been looking for days for outdoor finishing times for more common INDOOR strains, that ended up outdoors....


Heres the lineup Im working with I would appreciate any feedback you have to offer.

Purple TrainWreck
Trainwreck
Blue Cheese
Grape Punch
Matanuska Mountain Thunderfuck
Green Crack
Purple Trash
HOG

All these came from clone from clubs Ive been to. Vegged em forever inside before putting em out Jun 13. The purple TW look ready to go NOW, but im gonna give em a few more days, the grape punch too looks ready, the rest are still fattening up and developing, but I was hoping I could find some history on any of these strains outdoors and it has been incredibly difficult to come by.

Thanks
