I was going to update next week/end of the year in the Zamal comparison thread because a lot of plants are sexing now outdoors at the longest days of the year
This is my Zamal dream, the plants in vegboxes are sexed females, the few males are in another greenhouse. It is first time I keep males outdoors
I would like to add to MadMac comments that Double Zamal, Mango Karut from FTS and Mango Zamal from Mandala they are so similar looking I believe they are all coming from the same original stock and Purple Zamal is very dominant in this cross
Purple Zamal is auto in my environment, same like New Caledonia. For my environment a perfect match would be Zamal x New Caledonia, here outdoors they are both autos and will flower any time of the year, so a cross like this would keep the original auto feature which is very interesting for me. Crossing it to a photoperiod variety I am afraid it will lose its auto property. Auto x auto variety and similar photoperiod x similar photoperiod is more interesting for me than outcrossing auto x photoperiod because it is not clear what kind of photoperiod this last cross will have
Thaidelica is very thai dominant and looks photoperiod
Zamal A seems to come from different stock but it is auto as well and it doesnt seem to be so dominant like the Purple Zamal
So far I have 6 girls sexed and 6 unsexed and checking if they will sex during these 2 weeks which are the longest of the year
Zamal A are all on soil or veg boxes
Elite F1 x F2 and F3 Zamal Thai both have the same problems here. They are probably too tamed, I believe there is more Malawi in this crosses so they make fungus too easy here. It is becoming axiomatic at my environment, the more tamed it is, the worst it is. Because they are tamed with desertic varieties which are faster flowering and this is not what I need for my environment, desertic strains which are used for breeding stock designed for lat 50N suffer badly here and ruin the genetics. F3 Zamal Thai I have 4 girls and 2 are still sexing, it is a fungus galore. too much PM. Elite F1 x F2 I have so far 2 girls and 3 more still sexing. It is clearly female dominant all of the Zamal breeders pack
Elite F1 x F2 makes fungus and gets attacked by local fauna
F3 Zamal Thai makes too much PM at this very early stage in a very dry year with draught, same like Elite F1 x F2. And they both make leaves similar to Zamal A
Double Zamal I have so far 3 sexes: 7 girls, 2 boys and one LGBT. excellent landrace resistance like Mango Karut and Mango Zamal, they behave so similar it looks like it is all coming from same stock, I am very interested in this stock. Very Purple Zamal dominant. I have girls at 3 different greenhouses with different temperatures and lighting so I hope to get a good idea of what the strain can give
Double zamal on soil
Double Zamal on vegboxes with peruvian corn in the back
Double zamal LGBT, Mango Zamal I have 5 girls and 5 LGBTs, no pure males at all. It seems very difficult in this line to find pure males, I hope I can get some pollen
Zamal A leaves
Double Zamal leaf top and Mango Zamal leaf from Mandala bottom for some comparison
Felices fiestas Dubi! Merry Xmas and happy new year everybody!
