Culling intersex, you will lose genes needed for a true preservation. Of course it does not fit into your flower smoking regimen. It should fit into your pollen isolation and fridge storage of seed etc.

You can lead em to water but you can't make em drink.

Looking beautiful. How is the smell in yours?

This one has strong sharp pine, lime, solvent smell with a small hint of mango. It’s not loud it’s more fragrant and perfume like.

It’s a pleasant yet electrifying smell

Thanks for the update @ilovegrowing :yes:

despite the ph-watering problems, your pheno is filling nicely as well, with good sized resinous flowers for a small in door plant.
Glad you are finding appealing sweet musky terpenes now she is ripening.

Looks like the tamed pheno is finishing up @BC LONE WOLF

Unless she goes into heavy reflowering, she just needs 1–2 more weeks, don’t you think? Sharp lime and pine are a good way to describe the woody, lemony Thais I often mention. As you know, tropical sativa landraces tend to have more delicate scents of low-medium-intensity.

What's the genetics @Rgd ?

Yeah indeed she is at the gates waiting for the finish line. She’s awesome, I may give her the full length of November and take her down.

I love low smell varieties on living plants, the terps later in cure come out so complex and refined. It’s like a wine tasting when fully dried and cured, all the smells coming to live.

I’ve been smoking little bits of my blonde lady and loving the effects so thought I’d plant a couple more and woo

! Twins!!
Pretty sure I read somewhere that one of them will be a clone of the parent plant, excited to find out if that’s true.

santa marta colombian/durban[not the normal one its a west coast durban.] X santa marta gold

1 in 6 females spit the same pheno out twice

missed cloning it first timecan’t remember if it had nanners]
..second was ladyboy.[.this one ]

growing them again..would be nice not have lady boy ..but its all about the high..]

its not zippy weed..I need that too.. I use it for bed time..[not to sleep]

it Is content happy euphoric long lasting sativa high

right now cbh 1 x ohz is my 4:20 but it needs to be after supper..bit too much haze sedation..

but it really improved cbh potency..which has the right high

I am [hoping]expecting this to be the 4:20 grail ..zippy/creative/euporhic/long lasting

it hinted at it last time..but i did not finish the plant..i will do this justice

OAXs2

all organic..i just water

It must be a very special expression if it's so highly regarded by such a sativa connoisseur. Much respect @Rgd

Have my eye on this girl. (Dont mind the sulphur spots) View attachment 19081982

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

mites

Appreciate the concern
I assume your referring to that white patch on the leaf in the background... its sulphur. Sometimes it forms up like that.
I looked at said leaf today to confirm... it wiped right off. No signs of mites, just sulphur residue. As far as I can see anyways...

Now the deficiencies that started on the plant snuck by me at first. It's gonna be a long couple months making sure she's properly fertilized from here on out...
I dropped the ball. It was in the back, I didn't notice until it was already creeping up the plant.
I really didn't expect it to want a normal amount of nutes. Expected a light feeder.
Oh well, I'll just do my best from here on out.

This is one of two Thai phenos that are the most sativa expressions.

Showing promising resin production early on and very pointed calyxes, thanks for the update @LG/

Looks like you were just in time collecting these plants @dubi, what year was it you found them?

https://www.votehemp.com/PDF/sabrao_2011_43-1_1-14.pdf

Selection for reduced ? 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content in four Thai oxymoron hemp cultivars (including V50, Mae Sa Mai, Huay Hoi and Pang Ung) was carried out in highland areas in the northern Thailand. Research work was conducted for two consecutive growing seasons during 2008 to 2009 at Pangda Royal Agricultural Station, Samoeng district, Chiang Mai province, Thailand. Results of selection indicated that after selecting for two successive generations, the average THC content of four Thai hemp cultivars reduced to 18.0-55.0% and cannabidiol (CBD) content increased to 20.0-127.0%.

Eta. I’m currently dancing around the kitchen to ‘I don’t smoke da reefer’ with a big grin on my face

.

They modified my favourite plant and I’m not in the least bit angry about it, this is undoubtedly the stuff for ptsd.

Very interesting read, thanks for sharing.
It does not worry me too much, basically what it shows is that the proportion of low THC plants can be significantly increased after one generation (M1), if low THC plants ("non drug type") are selected from 50 to 100 plants of different regions/cultivars (each, as I understand it). The non drug type proportion of female plants (M0 generation) from each region varied between 14 and 48 percent. The drug type proportion of M0 female plants from each region varied between 20 and 81 percent.

Just as they can be selected for low THC, they can be selected for high THC content. Illustrating the hard work @dubi and his team have been doing for us when working with seeds from the original landraces.
:watchplant:

Edit: note that they measured THC and CBD from leaves taken from the upper part of the plants during early flowering. The results could probably be refined even further if the flower end product is taken. Another finding was, that THC and CBD concentrations were somehow linked, meaning that plants with a higher CBD content mostly had a higher THC content as well if I understan it correctly.

This Thai Chiang Mai was collected in situ more than 20 years ago.

Since legalization, cannabis is being widely studied by Thai universities and institutions. One of their projects was to register Type I, II and III variants bred from Thai genetics. Other studies like the one you are posting shows how THC content can be decreased and CBD content increased by selection in just 2 generations, the opposite can also be done.

H e d g e · Friday at 12:22 PM

Thanks @dubi, Im happy you collected them when you did as I suspect that legalising cannabis in Thailand was a strategic move to eradicate the last remaining population of none gmo type 1 plants on the planet.
It was sad to see the Thai military give away 1 million type 3 plants and I do not believe that type 2 or 3 Thai cannabis existed before this intervention, or that hemp genetics can be completely removed from a population after being introduced. Something is lost when pure landraces are crossed with hemp or skunk, probably thcp amongst others we aren’t yet aware of.
