Hi folks
I'm still paying attention, been reading the thread every day, just not had anything to add as I haven't got any sativas to show at the moment apart from a Zamal.Haze and 2 Colombian Golds flowering and I can't take any pics of them as they are in a friend's room and he won't allow any pics, he is very paranoid and refuses to even sign up at a forum. One of the Colombians is a clone in a waterfarm my friend had spare, she is 12 weeks into flowering and has been at an ec of 1.8 since 12/12 began using Ionic nutes and she is absolutely massive, one of the largest indoor sativas Ive seen. My friend isn't happy about her as she is 'taking up all my frigging light and space. man' (this guy grows only two strains - White Widow and Northern Lights and has done for years). I have had to use a dozen yoys on her to train her as she has 7-8 main branches and the longest are about 8 feet, the colas are 4-5 feet long and the diameter of a 2 litre plastic bottle. Very airy though and looks exactly like the soil grown ones I grew under my 250watter but several times larger. I find it quite amazing than a tropical sativa can grow so well under lights (2 x 1ks, one dirctly over her, the other about 6 feet off to one side) in hydro with a high ec, just wish he'd let me take some pics, but he's been growing in the same room for 15 years and I am the only one who knows the location apart from his wife so he's not gonna be persuaded.
bone, I have read in several places that Oaxacan strains are some of the largest yielding plants you can find (for a landrace) and that they also have quality as well as quantity. Hell, Acapulco Gold wasn't famous for nothing! lol I grew a Pacific coast Mexican last year and she looks fantastic until about two-thrids of the way through flowering, really large buds for a plant that size but the calyxes never swelled and the buds finished up mega airy with wispy strips of tiny calyxes. Definitely one that needed the full light of the semi-tropical sun to perform properly. I hope you get lucky and have one that does swell her calyxes to full size under lights, that would be a real keeper imho. One big reason why I love my Colombian Gold so much is that she does perfrom properly under lights and her calyxes do swell.
I've just planted 5 Durban Poison seeds into coco in 2 litre plastic bottles with the tops cut off, going to do them 12/12 from seed under my 250.
