My "open pollination" was just five unsexed Zamaldelica put out in the wet, wet Hawaiian rainforest. This environment gets somewhere between 160 to 180 inches of rain a year.

I returned three months later to find one surviving female full of seeds and one dead female full of seeds.

The female that had died before I got back had seeds sprouting on the plant. The one that was still alive had to be cut down because the wild pheasant were eating the seeds and destroying the plant.

It was raining nearly everyday the last two weeks and no mold. Just what I am looking for!

Impressive that the plants managed to survive and reproduce without your attention and even after a hurricane @squatty that's true guerrilla style! :)

Happy holidays ganja people !

I present to you my two keepers. Zamaldelica on the left, Pangi on the right. They reacted well to pruning and are ready for the next stage. I will flip the light schedule to 11/13 tonight.

Thanks for choosing Zamaldelica and Panama x Bangi Haze for your current indoor grow @FeelHaze much appreciated 🙏 All the best for the flowering stage!

Around week 5 here. Sweet terps, might be a pineapple pheno but too early to tell. Early terps have some citrus/lemon but these can change as things move along. I get extreme loud sweet candy/tropical fruit smells when I pinch leaves off. It went from 20” to 24” after stretch. She’s very easy to grow. She didn’t like the warm temps as much as Malawi so I dropped the tent down from 78deg to 74. She’s beside the heater…

Looking great after 5 weeks of flowering @Greencedar 😊 Well developed and loaded with nutrients for a good yield. Glad to hear you're already noticing the complex tropical fruit candy the feminized version is well known for. Very promising flowering stage, keep up the good work!

Yes dubi, for the short term my grows will not have much support or nurturing from me in this challenging environment.
Zamaldelica has proven itself right at home in the subtropical highland, wet rainforest climate at 19 degrees latitude.
Seems I may have one out of my five plants with a similar leaf pattern to LostTribe's plant.

You need to crank your like up and give gull nutrients. You are a month in they could be double that size! What are your environmental numbers?

You think so ?

They have been trained heavily to grow wide and flat.

They are in 6L pots with Fox Farm Happy Frog soil. Light is a spider Farmer SF2000 cranked up at 100% power since germination, presently 30 inches from the canopy. Temp is 27°C during the day and 21 at night. I'm lowering gradually RH during the first trimester of flowering, from 60% to 30-40%. Its now at 55%.

I will transplant into 25L around week 3 flowering.

Last grow with that same protocol I ended up with plants like this after the stretch ...

What are you feeding them?

I just pot up when they look hungry and they feed of the soil (Fox Farm Happy Frog). I used to add worm casting to my soil but the sativas don't like it.

I do things differently each grow. Sometimes I feed silica during the stretch so the plants develop stronger branching.

This run I plan to fertilize with Fox Farm Big Bloom (NPK 0.0 - 0.5 - 0.7) when the buds will start to form.

Did you run that FF Big Bloom on that previous grow you posted pics of above? How much and how often will you feed, water in or top dressed?

FF Happy Frog does not have much if any nutritional value from my experience. They look nice color though!

In my pevious grow the plants were in a mix of 1/3 Ocean Forest and 2/3 Happy Frog. Beleive it or not I never fed them anything 😅 I did a water only run and ended up with good results.

Yake in consideration that the Golden Tiger is REALLY nute efficient.

Did you mix them or start in the FF Happy Frog and transplant into FF Oceans Forest? Thats pretty damned good looking for FF considering it sure isnt the same bag of dirt it once was back in the day! Have 2 packs of old Golden Tigers I havent touched along with Malawi, Panama and Green Oldtimer. I did run a single of the Malawi and Pananama but wasnt great grow. Keep posting up! I am going to up pot and flip them in a couple weeks they are really growing now I had low temps and low RH but got that working for now.

Peace and good growing!

Last run I did the whole grow with the same soil mix, 1/3 OF and 2/3 HF. I transplanted from 6L pots to 25L pots at day 21 on 11/13 and thats it.

I'll keep you updated with this one ✌️

I have some bad news.

Yesterday while working on the garden I noticed a polen sac on my Zam. After examination, I found 4 in total and removed them.

I don't know if it is due to transplantation stress or if that specific individual is just prone to hermies. I looked for light leaks and secured the tent even more.

I hope to be able to keep her but it will not be possible if she keeps throwing balls 😓

Hi Feel Haze, I have a kind of temporary hermaphroditism with a Zamaldelica x Kali China plant in my current cultivation round. Removing the male flowers that only appeared on the main stem at two nodes has limited the "damage".The reason seems to be too late repotting and in addition the attempt to compensate for the late repotting with an increased (organic) fertiliser application. A possibly good side effect are individual seeds on the Zam x KC plant and a neighboring Malawi fem. They could be seeds that produce healthy female plants of a new intersting cross (MA x (Zam x KC)) in my case.

This is good to know. It reassures me a bit. I haven't seen more pollen sacs as for now and the plant doesn't look like a true herm so I keep my fingers crossed🤞
