Tikal

[Ravel]

Hi Ravel most probably the 2 with the most classic expressions, although i prefer to wait for your confirmation when the right time comes

Hi Dubi, so two of my Tikals are at about 90 percent cloudy. I was wondering if there's a particular trichome ratio I should aim for for this strain?

Hi Ravel sounds like they are ripe enough, but post some pics if you have doubt and want us to check it out.

Finally took the time to get some things placed in my new shade house today. After moving my Tikal around I kept smelling a strong incense smell in the enclosure.
This beast is solidly in Veg, hardly even a few rando preflowers on her and yet, there’s that crazy incense smell. I’ll get some pics of her once I finish cleaning up, placing some irrigation line and getting things finalized.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what this one can do once flowering hits.

This is her in a 45gallon pot. She was topped last week

What a nice Tikal bush @Cactus Squatter ! Loud incense terps are always a good thing in Tikal line, she is really enjoying in her big shoes the sun and wind!

"Indica" pheno

Day 88 flower, trichomes almost all cloudy, a few clears, a few ambers

Probably the most attractive out of all 4 plants. Very good calyx to leaf ratio, didn't need to do much trimming. Smell isn't super strong, fruity, possible strawberry? Resin on fingers smells very piney. Entire plant was almost pure bud due to its small size. Very frosty lowers right down to the soil. I'll keep you posted once dried.

Tikal, about 6.5 weeks from seed. Certainly a pretty plant, the fan leaves are quite ornamental with at least 2 more fingers than any other plant I have going.
It's growing surprisingly tight to the main stalk for how branchy it's been, I was expecting them grow and branch further outwards, not high and tight.

Looking beautiful!
That’s a very different leaf shape expression from both of the Tikals I have grown/growing. It’ll be super interesting to see it flower.

Yes it will be very interesting, I'm anxiously awaiting the terps to start showing

Day 90 of flower

Most of the pistils on this plant are white, however the trichomes look pretty close to being finished. Mostly cloudy with many very dark amber color. Is this kind of pistil spitting common with sativas at this stage in the game? Should I just harvest?

Edit: actually this particular bud has far more brown pistils than many of the others. Maybe I was a bit blind to the browned pistils.

2 more pics 5 days later.

I like a lot how the Tikal in your latest post looks like Tikal @Ravel Looks ripe enough to me despite a few new pistils here and there.

Thanks also for sharing pics of yours @Kiefcake !

Thanks! Which phenotype would you say it is?

Edit: Not sure if anyone else has noticed this but I'm getting a very strong smell of Nutella from the jarred buds. Smells EXACTLY like Nutella.

Love that structure

Looks like a NL/Haze pheno from here by the looks of it @Ravel

Final cola

 

[Kiefcake]

Had to emergency harvest the cola before going to bed last night, Saw a dying leaf, and down in the middle saw a tiny cobweb and very minimal brown bud, caught it before anything turned to mush. Hopefully it dries in the box without further damage.
By looking at the pistils, I'm thinking it had about a another week, two weeks max before they would all have receded.

It has a nice smell that I can't quite yet place, I try not smelling and putting the living plants to my nose too much because it aggravates my allergies.

Glad you catched up fast the spot with botrytis @Kiefcake Did she end up well ?

 

[Kiefcake]

Thank you, im glad i did too, and I'm thankful to have known to watch out for it by reading about it here, or else I'm sure i wouldnt have caught it when i did. I lost less than half a gram to it.

I haven't smoked any of it yet, but I'd say it did! I was able to pick some peach smell to it after getting it in the jar. Overall id say the Tikal and PanHaze smell very similar, the Tikal just has a little more something to it, but it isn't as strong of scent as the PanHaze.

I'm thinking that I'll get to looking a little deeper in the Tikal line probably around April, I'll work a couple more in, along with Bangi Haze, and Panama x Banghi
