Gotta get some of that Malawi over my way. It reminds me of the local sativas the way it grows, leafy as hell

 

[lickalotapus]

Okay , Iv got 9 malawis .1 is 2 meters tall and the rest are 1.5-2ft tall .is there alotot of different phenos? I have about 20 plants that are small 1-2 ft and there a mix of panama nepalese jam and malawi

Malawi bro, long flower thin leaf pheno. Definitely gonna grow this in the future and it's a wicked breeding tool. Good pest resistance.

hey guys haven't checked this thread out for a while, some great looking ladies you lot have on the go this year hopefully you all get a good finish to the season.
The weather way down south here was terrible everyone I knew that grew out doors lost the lot, mostly due to the continuous torrential rain we had it pretty much didn't stop until start of December and a few hard frosts hit late November just to add another kick in the balls. had some clones lined up but went to go dig over my spots I used last year (I know lazy) and well someone else had the same ideas and bout 30 plants in there, good luck to them I quess, theyre gonna need it we now heading into a drought and water is not very handy, kinda glad I didn't end up planting as it would be an awfull lot of work this summer.

CK, you still got that mean foxtailing strain cranking inside? what strain was it pretty keen on giving it a go, cheers DD

 

[Letstrip]

Yeah gotta love those Taskenti terpenes aye. The PDC sounds like a good mix between Panama and Deep Chunk, Panama yields well so it should boost the yield - Deep Chunk yields fuck all but apparently the bud id the best Afghani hashplant you can get. Can't wait to see it flower, I'm probably gonna order some PDC soonish. I reckon the ultimate hybrid would be Panama Deep Chunk x (Malawi x Taskenti). Yeah I know what you mean, something different about those old school strains that you just can't recreate. My CC pheno is like that too, stinks even while still a clone and you can see resin on the stems and tops in veg. Yeah been pretty bloody dry up here too, been high 20's to early 30's this last week(up at my house) yesterday Tauranga & Masterton were the hottest(you beat us .1 lol). Looks like like there might be some showers by the end of the week hopefully, you see why rain crystals are a must now haha.

Cheers yeah I think they're F1's, It'll be good to see if the Orient Express is dominant or not. Haven't grown Lavender or Power Plant so I can't exactly say but it's definitely more of a sativa pheno and the leaf structure has an African shape to it, same thing with the BD13's haha haven't grown either of the 2 parents. Yeah no point having the bottom shit when there's no light getting into it, they should be 8ft by now after a blistering hot week. Good structure on the Panamas aye, I reckon your topped one is the red and the untopped green - thinner growth on the untopped one aye.

Oh yeah sounds about right, it was more sativa aye? most sativas flower mid-late feb. My BD13 x OE's haven't shown sex yet but they'll all be female anyway. Yeah should stretch a little bit come flower, the Afghani I used to grow did. Your pheno looks different to what I've grown lol the lavender turns purple easy so that'll be a sign to look for, my pheno is a big yielder for sure.
The BD13's should start flowering in the next 2 weeks.

Yeah real nice terpenes with the Taskenti I think itl be first class smoke. Sweet eve if the PDC doesnt yeild huge I reckon the moke would be amzing You shouldnt defiantly order the PDC its be killer indoors it should be an interesting flower! I think it might be starting to inch towards flower now it seems like a bit of stretch is going on with a load of new small branches poping out round the nodes.
Panama Deep Chunk x (Malawi x Taskenti) would be such a nice cross id love for someone to do it haha Im pretty confused with my CC its still slow and showing signs of a nitrogen deficiency even though the rest of the leaves are really dark. Woo by .1 lol Man today was 30 again and it was 21 degress at 12 last night which is pretty weird for down here. Both of our climates seem to be killing it at the moment, in the high twenty's from 27 - 30 its great and all but please please rain my plants need it real bad lol

. I went and checked my plants and they were quite underwatered but I gave them all a drink and they bounced back within half an hour. The LSD and Taskenti were underwatered but they took no water like bosses and didnt even look underwatered like the rest Maybe my CC is showing a deficiency from lack of water? Cant wait to see your plants flower its even cooler that its your own cross! Yea I like the structure on the Panamas the untopped one is showing proper sex now with normal green hairs so thatd be a green pheno? It showed ages ago but its properly showing now and same with all the other plants they're all showing except the small Panama which doesn't even have alternating inter nodes yet I dunno why its so slow.

Yea turned out to be more sativa then indica in the end or atleast that pheno did. Ill look out for purple on the cotton candy but at the moment this pheno or seed is looking okayish but not amazing.
Your plants must be huge by now haha Bring on flowering!

 

[kiwipaulie]

Hey guys, I chucked a couple of WWxBB outside just before Xmas, ive had to top them as I cant let them get to high and they stretched hard for some reason, not sure why, they get heaps of sun. When do they normally start to flower outdoors? Ive never really grown anything outdoors except a few autos.

I had few of them last year, they were the earliest harvested of all mine, they got the chop april 6th and were a week or so early because the stems couldn't take the rain weight even after staking/ tying. grows massive buds. if I recall it was about mid feb before I seen signs of flower, theyre reasonably quick finishing a mate of mine is still running them indoors takes him about 7-8 weeks. had pics in the last years thread not sure how far through tho.

as for strectching it just seems to be a trait for that strain, indoors and outdoors they do the same the just have long node spacing.

Yeah the Taskenti will be potent as fuck if we have this weather till april. I reckon the PDC will yield solid enough. Same thing happening with the cotton candy, the top growth is starting to turn into flowers - very first days of flowering for the CC.
Hopefully Ace or CBG does some more breeding with Deep Chunk and Taskenti. Weird pheno with the CC, indoors my pheno is really impressive - growing super fast in veg. Shit it's been hot lately man, still over 25c at 8pm at the moment we're the hottest place in nz right now. You're climate is pretty crazy how it goes over 30 and then drops below 10 sometimes lol. This January we've had consistent 27+ days up here where I am.

Been really dry aye! my little BD13's are underwatered too. Yeah they'd be able to handle no water coming from Uzbekistan/Afghanistan lol, dunno about the CC usually the just go limp when underwatered, probably just a finicky annoying sativa trait - sometimes they're hard as to dial in with water,nutes etc. Most likely green pheno but you never know, could turn into pink haris in Feb. probably just a runty Panama, it happens - I've got a runtyish pheno with my cross too.

went and had a look at my plants today and the CC looks to be in the first days of flower with one or 2 dark purple hairs per node! everything e;se is in veg still but I think they'll all be in flower in the next week. I've got 8 seeds or so of CC that selfed last run with the mother, real healthy big seeds - should make it easier finding similar phenos to the one I have now. A fair few vine hoppers on the BD13 x OE so I went down with a bottle of soap and neem to combat these life sucking motherfuckers lol - they've knocked them back a little but not too much.

Here's some pics:

Cotton Candy(right 2), Black Domina x G13(left 2)

Tallest ones about 8ft.

 

[smokey the cat]

Good luck in the drought guys, it's fucking dry out there. Reckon this is the new normal - climate's only going to get worse from here on out.

Move to the West Coast, lol

Wow they look amazing kiwi!! Some interesting strains youv got there. Are you worried about some of them finishing if you get bad weather? Do you think the cannabiogen panamas are different from the ace ? Because I bout 5 of each and my two larger panamas look much more indica than the others I see on here and im pretty sure those 2 are cannabiogen,
Also have you grown bangi haze? its byfar the most vigorous , they are 10 weeks from seed and are all about 2 metres tall!!.all 6 are very uniform. And the whitefly have hardly touched it.

Hey man, how's it going?. Sorry to hear about the loses, our climate is fucked now. How far down south are you? Near the bottom kinda?. Hard to grow down there by the sounds of it.

Don't know where the black domina x g13 came from but it was a freebie from sea of seeds and the reckon it was from some private Spanish collective or something. Weird thing is after the 1 generation of clones it pretty much lost the extreme foxtailing trait. I've got some seeds that were crossed onto a orient express though, might be able to find a foxtailing pheno outta that.

Cheers, the vine hoppers are killing me though my bd13 x OE's should have been 9ft+ by now. Nothing bloody kills them! Worst kind of bug to get. Na never grown bangi, looks like a great breeding tool.
Pretty sure ace and cannabiogen Panama are the same, I grew CBG Panama(my avatar) and it goes full sativa come flower. This season I'm growing reasonably short flower plants and don't expect any of them to go past mid April, weather up here is warm till end of April-end of May. What's April and May like where you are? Harvested my Malawi last season on the 20th of May.

Did the malawi start flowering before or after the panama ,
I think anything that starts flower at end of feb or march will do well with me because the terential rain usually goes away mud april. it does get colder but no frosts so they should finish

 

[mattskiBOP]

Ck those plants look awesome, really green and healthy.

Took some spray out to help my girls with the vine hoppers and give them a water. Ended up staking them and saying farewell til harvest. I've got a couple of smaller clones nearby that i can check to reference.

On another note a checked an urban spot that I had success with last season. It's really public, like major supermarket within 100m Aaany way someone found it this year ripped all the plants... That they could find. All the autos I had plans for some pre Harv smoke... Blah. 5 still goin there, not counting on them making it either, but ya never know. I think I made a video of the spot last season haha

Got next round rooting with plans for one more. Already taken some losses but not letting it phase me.

Peace

 

[Kiwigrowa]

Here's pictures of 2 of my plots, the first two photos are of one plot and the two bottom photos are from another plot. I posted some earlier in this thread of the first plot on page 7 when they were just small. This is them around 3 weeks ago.

 

[Letstrip]

Heres some pictures of the girls from last monday Everything's looking better and watered up sort of lol Most of the plants have minor pre flowers but one of the Panamas looks quite a bit into pre flower. Il probably have another update real soon once I get some new pictures.

Panama DC looking happy.



LSD looking nice with a nice indica shape and fat indica leaves.



Cotton Candy is looking better then it did but still not amazing. Its not to well rooted and a bit wobly I might have to steak it.



Panama 1 runt. Still slow and small its only just starting to get alternating internodes now and has wider leaves then my other Panama.



Panama 2. This one actually looks the most into pre flower out of all my plants and has much thinner leaves then the smaller Panama.



Taskenti last but not least, the beast. Nothing to say other then its growing really well. It has a praying mantis living on each of its two main tops lol Quite interesting, this plant has always had preying mantis living on it even when I put it outside for a few days when it was tiny it had a little resident praying mantis.



Cheers

Shit yea mate Taskenti is pretty big now. If I hadn't of topped her god shed be really tall by now like getting towards 10ft id say it has long stems and shoots I like it. Someone called Taskenti the Sativa hash plant because it grew really tall for a pure indica outdoors Yea looks like my CC is prepping for flower to but surprisingly my good Panama looks further into preflower then all of my other plants which is odd? Wouldn't be so bad if it flowered though because itd finish properly id say. Yea I think I might have got a dud with my CC Ill have to grow it again sometime. Im feeding my plants the transition sun leaves nutes now which is half N and half P but Im keeping the N up so I don't get a deficiency like last season.

Still killer weather up your way any rain? Its good down here we got a small thunder storm and it rained/hailed a little bit which was good, we were meant to get 32 today and hit 30 but yeah weird climate here its like a basin once the suns up it heats up like crazy but once its gone it cools down pretty quickly. Most of the time it stays around 12 - 14 at night if its been really hot. The hour or so rain didn't do shit we need a hell of a lot more for things to start getting green again hah Yeah the CC is showing some quite sativa characteristics now and looking a little better.

Your plants looking stella Man cant wait to see them in flower! Have they started yet? Hows the vine hoppers, they sound like a real pain to get rid of.

 

[mattskiBOP]

Went out to visit another spot yesterday, it hasn't rained much. Around here and with the loss of my local AF garden I wanted to make sure I didn't lose any more of my early smoke to underwatering. I did lose another one collected some leaf mulch from under some nearby trees and gave the girls some water. Should really have mulched them earlier to help with water retention... Blah. Still have 3 heavyweight fast and vast a couple weeks into flower and a couple of other strains at that garden. Didn't take the cam out for pix cos they're not that impressive.

Also went to go check out the other patch I found nearby back when I was scouting spots. I took some pics of a few of his plants, which are obviously a favourite food for the local possums. I'll upload them when I can be bothered waiting. Took a few cuts from some lower branches of a couple of females that had preflowers. These will make some nice minis. One more round of cuts after this for a late mini seed run. Got a couple of strains I'm gonna try keep and make some fem seeds with colloidal silver. Pineapple chunk, blue cheese, money maker and afghani. My silver rods just arrived today ... Will be my first time attempting this so...

 

[mattskiBOP]

These are the pics of the patch I found, plants between 4-6ft.
Chicken wire much?



When I first found these plants they werent fully enclosed, possums got into most of them as below.



This guy will still have some decent plants but man hes fighting a battle for sure. I was quite jealous he found this spot before me, not too much anymore. Im pretty sure all of my plants would've been devoured by now.

Anyways if you're out there guy, thanks for the cuttings! I tucked the girls back into their cells

 

[Letstrip]

One of my Panamas is in heavy pre flower and should be in flower very soon! Kinda weird that the 100% sativa is starting first though Also im pretty sure my flowering Panama is a purple pheno, all the caylxes are purple so far. All the rest of my plants still haven't started flowering but are going through pre flowering stretch. Had some minor lower branch damage from rabbits on a few of my plants so I just cut the damaged stems of so they can focus on upper growth. Pretty major growth is taking place at the moment especially in the past week or so!

Cheers dude.

In the same boat as you man, it's a struggle to fight these vine hoppers - so relentless!. Mixed up some confidor and neem and sprayed the shit out of them.

Lol they'll stink up the town only being a 100m away
