Thai

[BC LONE WOLF]

don't we all?

Depends; if one is a comercial breeder like the creator of this strain, one might feel that selections are for comercial applications aka high yielding plants.

I could be wrong… but the line up of ACE is made for yields.

As explained @BC LONE WOLF This Thai was mostly open pollinated for the release (after removing all the hermies we found), so although there were some higher yielding plants, strain has not been intentionally breed for high yields.

I never give priority to yield when selecting landraces or IBLs, i look mostly for potency, quality of effects and terps. In F1 hybrids, yes i breed many of them for high yields.

You got a really wild expression and another more tamed.

Here is my thai chiang mai about 8/9 weeks 11/13.

I have to say, I didnt expect to finish her without burning the tips of her, which happened already, but otherwise bringing her through to the end is the main goal. and its not looking so bad starting to see some resin and a getting a good overall look of the flower structure

Also dont know how it happened, i guess it was too much bloom fertilizer and being rootbound. Will put her to a bigger pot asap. Next update with smell description

Looks really nice and quite advanced after 'just' 8-9 weeks of flowering @ilovegrowing well done

I’ve had genetics go all yellow but the leaflet at the flower remain green and healthy.

I don’t think that over feeding or under feeding is necessarily the issue. I think based on experience that pure sativa expressions have a way to shed unnecessary foliage as the flower progresses. Specially fan leaves from vegetative growth, each leaf becomes specialized as the flowering hormones kick in, going from a full 7-11 finger big solar receptors (veg leaf) to a small leaf with less leaflets 1-3 fingers to just a calyx which is a specialized leaf inflorescence.

I came to the same conclusion after noticing this everytime after the first 5-8 weeks of flowering, respectively after stretch when vegetative grows comes to an end. Never where quite shure but your comment rang a bell

I have a little suspicion that the trend of massive defoilation is because guys never got that particular yellow leaf stuff under control and simply cut off all the fanleafs, for more pretty looks and likes on social media

I don’t want to derail from Thai content but here is a plant all yellow but the leaflet of the flower intact green.

This was the only to go full yellow, I had 3 of the same genetics all 3 (because F1) where different in finishing color, times and overall results.

This is all at the end for flower, absolute absence of chlorophyll.

Have my eye on this girl. (Dont mind the sulphur spots)

Have to wait and see how long until it starts flowering. Been under 10/14 for abit over a week

Have a couple Thai males too. Took clones of everything, assuming they will root...
One is faster flowering and one hasn't started yet (dif start time could be a fluke based on general size at flip, not sure). Both have a nice spicy sort of stem rub. Loudest males out of the tent.

Might not do any pollinating this run, just take notes and do a full seed run with the best picks next round. But I might be able to tuck a male or two away in a separate area and collect some pollen.

Nice work man !

Compact green pheno, slower flower. Great structure

Lanky pearl feral sativa expression, menthol fresh tropical fruit, light solvent

She threw several nanners and I’m ok with that, I can do more selection on the f1. Not the most stable pheno but worth for me to explore, the structure is not what you find in every dispensary around here, actually I don’t think anyone would want to have this pheno because it’s not easy to handle.
The clones have not shown any monoecious traits that’s why I’m not alarmed.

Seeds starting to fall off the plant

These are gonna be a surprise to run. And plenty of new flower formations unseeded. Benefits of early pollination on wild tropical sativas.

Jungle tent. Thai are the 4 on the right.
Not much to show yet. They are forming buds small and slow, which is a great sign imho.
Sharing the tent with Original Haze, JamJam, and Mango Biche (plus 1 New Caldonia).

Really happy with how everything topped out. So far nothing is much over 4 feet by my estimation. I think the tent is 78". Still have plenty of headroom.

Very awesome view. Looks very healthy

Green pheno clones

Has been a desirable pheno with great structure and stable with no monoecious flower. Slower to flower and ripping

Wild pheno

All behaving and taking my cold/wet environment very gracefully. The wild sativa expression still looks stable, if the monoecious flower start developing they gotta go.

Quite a difference indeed @BC LONE WOLF in flower structure-distribution between the more compact vs the pearl one. That's part of the fun of exploring new landraces with still a big amount of genetic diversity and different phenotypes.

100% I love landrace gene pools. With out a doubt the green pheno is the keeper for obvious reasons.
My lights are 11/13 I will be switching to 10-14 in a few days, as I make space in the grow area all the remaining plants will have better light. The round of clones if just for flower and observation.

Green pheno

Still pumping, this girl was triggered (light dep) in August, so around 9-10 weeks in, I’d say she’s got all November left.
Her clones are really slow but going, metabolism has definitely decreased due to cold nights.

Lookin good bro

It’s great to see the tamed pheno ripening quickly with good resin production indoors @BC LONE WOLF
There are indeed some "faster" phenos that can finish around 14 weeks of flowering, while others, as you’re seeing with your two females, take much longer.

Don’t expect a great flower/leaf ratio with Thai landraces, they’re typically quite mediocre in this regard.
But that’s one of the trade-offs for experiencing their unique effects.

Thai chiang mai, fried leaf pheno (joke)
I think its pheno B of the official description. Smell is very sweet and yeah musky, it actually reminds me of a fresh baked sweet almond cake or something. I am really surprised.
Lost count how long she is already going. Will evaluate at the end. Had ph problems, and a too wet soil, rootbound… despite that, i think she will make it.

Chiang Mai handling it pretty well, starting to shed big fans.

Edit:
Lights on version

Looking beautiful. How is the smell in yours?
