Tom Hill Haze

[@hempy]

@@hempy can you tell me what you think about the leaf difference on Males4 and Males5 and anything else you might notice?

The Big differences I notice from the pics is in the look of the male flowers.

These are in the taller lanky males, at the back, correct ?

These are found on the broader leaf shorter ones, correct ?

Trialing a new macro telephoto lens on all the close ups, it has a very small focal range

I was taking with Tom last night and it sounds like he is finding more of what he personally likes in this last make than the big increase he did a couple years ago. which is the same one you have.

I have been wrong so many times on what I thought a male when selecting from new work. I always reverse the males until I am comfortably familiar, but I know that's next round for you.

Open pollination is hard for me psychologically. Particularly if I find what I am looking for. The closest I come I would cull males down to 8-10 or based on how many branches I can tag.

From whichever female blows my mind I will the have 8-10 collections to test. Disorganized an op with 10 males and a keeper mom may bump it from a 5% to the collection to 15% and you'll always wonder which your popping.

It's a lot of work, doing all of the individual branches and pollination, but you may thank yourself later. Especially if you find the ones you are looking for

What you find in Thailand now is very different to what you found in Thailand even in the early 90s most Thai lines are a shadow of what they once were.

A lot of Dutch lines were bred into the Thai lines, then a few years back you had 1 million high CBD clones passed out by the government to add insult to injury.

You want Runtz or Cookies Thailand now the place to find them.

Yeah, he financed an operation for a friend their and he said all they ask for 'cali bud' 'cali bud'. He said most of what they have is garbage and only the older out of touch Thai that even mess with the landrace, but he also said a couple times he smoked something completely different. Psychedelic. He is the only person I know that regularly smokes salvia so a little different.lol

Anyway, He rides bike and visits all the back road less traveled areas of SE Asian and speaks fluent Thai with the backdrop of smoking my haze.

I'm looking forward to spending time catching up. All I know is that the collections are remote, but my impression from him last time was that Thai today is not impressive.

ok so were there any standouts ..?

One was a heavy producer and had that underlying smell of meat or dare I say liver

Most were heavy pine
No metal or camphor or eucalyptus

My wife said it was out of control last year with 25 plants so this year I was “out of my element”

Photos would not be helpful but I tried with my old iPhone XS Max

Nothing on stems but I’m pretty sure it’s my nose
I broke it badly in the 70’s in Okinawa and it was broken again in the 2000’s and not re set. I always think that’s my problem.

FWIW 2 of your SSSTN were very delightful to watch and are curing as well. I’ve recently re connected with an old classmate who’s still smoking on a regular basis who is likely gonna be giving me legit smoke reports. I’m holding off for at least 60 days before giving him samples. I want to be sure it’s ready and guessing 60 days minimum will be ok. Anybody can weigh in on that since I’m a lightweight and my insights are garbage. Lol

To me eyes the top photo looks like the flowers are further along than the other and definitely a lankier pheno. I can’t see a lot of the stem on the lower plant but it looks more robust with tighter node spacing? If so, that all fits with it being a shorter more compact pheno and maybe a bit behind the other?

The top one also appears more broad leaf to my eyes anyway

Just like my opinion man

 

[@hempy]

The top one is more Thai, where the other is more to the Colombian.

Here's an overview from my other camera. I was over my photo limit yesterday so couldn't post it. Maybe it's clear enough to see more?
They're all dropping pollen at the back but I'm waiting for the rest to start
Looks like the one on the right the fan fell on won't make it

You can see the two main sides to the Posi Haze being expressed.

 

[Knop]

93 THH
19 Thai/Haze
5 Zamal french touch
half with peat and vermiculite substrate, half of the pots with peat, vermiculite and rice husk

I will cut all the males that are not posi haze and pollinate them all with posi haze

I found it hard to give each plant the time it deserved because I had no real plan.

At least this Todo Tom Hill Haze or Tom Hill Totalamente has a plan.

I offered to start some strains for a friend with limited resources and it just morphed into a crisis to crisis thing. Once I handed of his seedlings (12) he proceeded to grow them and just live his life. I refused to cull or top anything and spent my time looking thru my loupe, standing on a 10’ ladder, or watering. I’m a bit of a perfectionist still and should know better.

My wife’s description of searching for a fresh cut Christmas trees is apt here.

“they all start looking the same”

I found my own recently:

“comparison is the thief of joy”

Don’t recall where I read that but it’s spot on and will hopefully keep me in the moment

thh more or less 2 and a half months since seed, I had some burns even with little fertilizer
burnt ends, pH or excess nutrients, but I'm thinking it's sensitive to high pH

 

[Knop]

3 thai/haze that were in a 15oz pot, survived in the guerrilla for more than 1 month without water, without nutrients and in the shade along with other varieties, oaxaca x panama, squirel tail, super panama haze.
the thai/haze and squirel tail were the only ones that did not turn yellow on the leaves and did not show early sex, even in small pots

transplanted after being recovered from the guerrilla

 

[Raco]

Tom's is hard to kill

 

[Knop]

detail, the thai/haze are the same age as this last thh I posted
