Zamaldelica

[YukonKronic]

I'm cool with wasps. They eat everything we hate. The spyder is my Avatar pic; I've had a strange fascination with arachnids from childhood. Curiously I've never had a pet spider but a friend of mine had a (supposedly this is rare?) housecat get bit on the head near the ear by his Tarantula. That cat was never right again, randomly attacked its head with all fours forevermore. Hilarious and sad as you watched it levitate to swat it's phantom aggressor with all of its feet at once and finding nothing but it's ear run from the room in anger and alarm... where was I? Oh. Yea. Pics.

Oops upside down pic. My bad.

I've read that Zamaldelica has sometimes asymmetric growth. Would these traits show up at 3 nodes of growth? I have two seedlings where one side of the node is growing faster than the other.

Some plants are like that...

Usually this is in reference to flowering and branching structure.
I've noticed zamaldelica to be highly branched and the branches grow at odd rate in relation to each other.

 

[YukonKronic]

Yuppers could be the asymmetric growth pattern.... does your plant get even light on all sides? Regardless if it's a heavily Thai or Zamal dominant phenotype you might be in for some Tryffyd growth.. I lollipop pretty heavily on mine. She's a beast, I flower her at a foot tall and get a four foot many tentacled leviathan if leave her alone.
Scrog is one plant that was about 14 inches or so tall when flipped



Poorly cared for mother "forgotten" in the greenhouse all summer. I need more space so I can take proper care of veg plants.

 

[YukonKronic]

Some phenotypes take this crazy branching to extremes where a side branch will suddenly dominate and "become" the apical meristem only to "lose" to another branch later. The plant pictured above does that if I let her get big. She was RIDICULOUS in a greenhouse bed I tried one summer. Probably grew five feet in a month; LOVED our 22 and 23 hour sunshine in early summer.

YukonKronic you are making me jealous with such talk...23 hrs of sun! Oh, your cat story had me crying with laughter by the way

Oh the suns even better for partying at midnight than growing herb you should try to make it up for June 21st to Dawson City just once if ever you can.. you can stay up all night and watch the sun just circle around without setting. There's usually a LOT of parties around to choose from.

Haha glad nobody thought me heartless for my amusement at the poor felines plight I feel a great deal of commiseration for him since I better understand his PTSD now. He was always a weird moody fu*ker anyways, Zeppelin was a fitting name for him may he Rasta in peace.

There has always been some kind of life-death cicle going on under the canopy of my past grows but it has never been so visible to my eyes as during this one
One of the centipedes that inhabit my pot, didn't make it and took the decision to Rest In Peace on a lower bud.
Flight high, little bitey thing!

looks like a molt of a carpet beetle larval stage (look like meal worms with few spikes)

So, I cut that one a couple days after.

First buds finished drying and went to jar. First impression... nice taste, love that high, probably the best I achieved since I started growing her. That Zamal/Thai is a keeper

October Zam - lovely stink

October Zam - lovely stink

Starting her swell, smelling powerful, facing cold nights ahead.

Can't speak to asymmetrical growth; this is only the second zam I've grown, these both recent fem releases. Both have reacted well to topping and LST (this one's scrogged low), ending up with many vigorous, round tops. Very surprisingly stocky and not easy to bend after a certain point. She'll get through the month with only a couple of nights below freezing, I hope
Last pic is the previous ZAm, which surprisingly (to me) stayed stout next to the spindly panama hazes.

[Zamaldelica (ZDElite/Thai dom.)xGuatemala] Male (F2, he was ZD dominant)pollinated a ZamaldelicaS1 (lucky #13!)that was exceptionally resinous as pointed out by Dubi.
Calling them ZGxZ13 (hmmmm; Zig13? ZamGuat? Just plain Ziggy?GuaZam!?)for now. Did test run of 10 seeds, 8 made it out of my seedling torture chamber. Looking to see what they give me and probably keep clones of all males and maybe the best female. I'm really searching more to build a collection of potential studs I can flower in a different cab and evaluate for breeding. I figure if I get something wildly exciting I'll keep breeding it forward; maybe a sister line to my ZamxGuat strawberry flavour line that is currently in F3(same male as above) stage as a bunch of seeds. If I get hella crazy about it and take to F5 or 6 or whatever then I can cross the sister lines to bring back vigour... any advice or ideas on "all that" would be welcome.
Anyhoo I'll likely just post a few pics of THIS generation until I'm growing more than some "mostly" Zamaldelica to post up.



Stoked about the colour on last one! I keep finding pink/purple colours in the "best" phenos from ZamxGuat. Best being the strawberry bubblegum sour mango candy shroom tripper phenotypes of course

Some of them stretch fairly little especially if topped or trained to a more even canopy, these (in my experience) often have very nice fruity smells and flavours and a strong ass buzz I think from NKM influence... personally I really like these phenotypes I just got kinda stuck on the stimulant/crazy trip component that is more pronounced in Zamal/Thai phenotypes. Lol not to say they aren't all hella trippy to me... I just smoke GT if I want something more introspective and meditative...Zam is my carnival ride.

AHEM......mememememe

....3.....4......

It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me where did I go wrong
I can throw my arms around any girl I choose
But it just reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what it told me
He said, boy, you better try to have fun no matter what you do
But he's a fool


cause nothing compares
nothing compares 2U


i love the zam, it's da best.

the next one is called zamalama-dingDong; now hit it!

Speaking of bugs!

Just brought a new bodyguard for the revegged Zamaldelica (top cola):

.

Will look for females... this one, a male, will fly off as soon as feel strong (hope he has a grasshopper feast before leaving) or detects a female... so it's usually better to bring females, that will in turn bring the males trying to mate.

Looks he has had already an encounter with a female, missing one of his rear legs.

This Zam lady is the most advanced of all my outdoors, entering late flowering, will post pictures soon.

Whoa COOL! I like Mantids too! I practice (lol more like try to... I'm an unabashed wannabe here..) some Mantis style Qi Gong movements and have just generally always liked them. I had 6 or 7 little ones that my daughter brought home from school but she was so stoked on em there was NO way any could get "lost" into my garden. Instead I bowed to the god like ambition of a five year old to raise mantids in a jar. It went poorly but she learned that if we love something.... set it free.

IN YER WEED GARDEN!!!! Lol never taught her last part... maybe when she's 16 or so...

For my Auto Malawis outside this year I purposely kept them near a spot that's got wasp nests all around... seemed to work I only picked a few pests off once or twice.. STAY AWAY FROM ASPEN! Up here that's the aphid tree. Leaf miners weaken leaves and then when temps are right the aphids attack those leaves and spread from there. I can cut down an aspen in July and come back a day later to collect a dozen or more ladybugs feasting on the aphids the dying tree attracted. We don't get the plagues of ladybug like in Ontario or other places "south" just a herd here and there...

 

[repuk]

Truth is I was worried last year late Summer / Autumn I didn't spot a single mantis... now that I manage all trees in my area, decided to let them unmolested until late Autumn, and once pruning time comes, watch out all trimmed branches for oothecas.

With some luck I'll get some, and could place them strategically to make sure they succeed.
