I’ve been bringing them into the shed each afternoon and then into a tent with no lights.Looking good man so you keeping em potted up or you putting em in the ground at a later date cos id bet they get big there lol?
Thats a tall guy for sureThe Highland Thai likes to stretch. Not a good candidate for growing in a tent without some serious training. I supercropped numerous times but they just straightened back up. I guess I should have tied them down. Pretty gangly looking plants but I'm just doing a seed run so as long as that gets accomplished I'll be happy and it looks like I'll get that done. Then I can collect a bunch of seeds, scratch this off my list and on to another landrace reproduction run. The Malawi I'm going to cross with is much more manageable and cooperative in the tent.
Male
Female
Yeah he got away from me. I should have got them in the flower tent sooner. Fortunately that male is about to drop pollen so I'm going to cut the tops and put them in some water and let the pollen drop. It's past the light and almost to the roof of the tent. I'm going to have to supercrop and tie down the female after I pollinate it.Thats a tall guy for sure
Who hasnt let something get out of hand my first grow i had one 7 foot plant same deal pretty much it was way past the light luckily the tall more sativa type pheno of widow did better not in direct light vs the more common phenos ime that and i got some headroom to play with and a good lesson was learned at least in your current situation its the male thats the taller oneYeah he got away from me.

I do that sometimes.I like to start most Sativas on 12/12.
Gutted mate that sucks im sorry to hear that well hopefully they catch the front end of a bus maybe get a big dog if u aint already got one lolI’ve seen that many peoples plants this year because of the work I do, and not once have I even considered stealing them.
Oh man. That's just terrible. I'm at a loss for words. Damn.View attachment 5106960View attachment 5106961
The Sinai updates stop here.
Some filthy cunt, probably kids, decided they wanted not just the Sinai, but my whole crop.
Cut a hole in the neighbours fence and gone..
Gutted to say the least and I was relying on this crop to tie me over for the next indoor, which I haven’t even started.
Worst still the Sinai was pollinated and there was a c99xduban Thai which was my last seed and was phenomenal.
There’s probably a silver lining somewhere but I’ll be fucked if I can see it.
Got two staffies but they’re cuddly and heard nothing. Maybe some Tibetan mastiff’s would do the trick hahaGutted mate that sucks im sorry to hear that well hopefully they catch the front end of a bus maybe get a big dog if u aint already got one lol
In a preservation situation it will Still work fine it just means more work for you as you already know cos when you grow out the progeny in bigger numbers you gonna have to select harder against intersex traits but as you say still worth it especially if its something you like imoOne of the Highland Thai males is showing hermie traits. I'm still going to use some of the pollen on a couple buds and then keep those labeled and separated from the rest. Some may say "Kill it" but I'm doing a reproduction run to preserve the genetics so I'm going to keep some seeds made with the pollen from this male/hermie as well. I just don't want the seeds mixed in with the rest. Although, it's likely that this trait will surface in the future from seeds made with pollen from the males showing as true males.
Also the female inflorescences are only showing on one branch. The rest of the plant is male at least so far. It will be interesting to see how it develops and if the entire plant turns this way. I'll also let it pollinate itself and keep those seeds as well. For what I don't know but I'll have them.
I understand what you're saying but if I were to try and eliminate any hermaphroditic tendencies I wouldn't be preserving the genetics as they are. I'm saving strains in as pure a form as I can. If it herms then I want that as well. I'm not going to be working it out for specific traits on this seed run because that's not my goal. My goal is to save it as is. I'm actually glad that one of them did show intersex traits.In a preservation situation it will Still work fine it just means more work for you as you already know cos when you grow out the progeny in bigger numbers you gonna have to select harder against intersex traits but as you say still worth it especially if its something you like imo
I've done something similar to what you did a while back but with the Mango Thai.I understand what you're saying but if I were to try and eliminate any hermaphroditic tendencies I wouldn't be preserving the genetics as they are.

My goal is to save it as is. I'm actually glad that one of them did show intersex traits.
Also, the seeds from RSC are second generation reproduced outside of Thailand and open pollinated so having a plant show intersex traits leads me to believe it hasn't been mucked up and selectively bred. And the seeds I produce will be the same as the seeds I started with as I'm basically doing an open pollination as well. I'm just isolating the male pollen from this plant and using it selectively on the plant so I can keep them seperate from the ones made using the pollen from the other males that are not showing intersex traits.
I do find it interesting the way it changed on that one branch after It had been showing male for quite awhile. Usually it's the females that start showing balls. Not males showing pistils. But I have seen it before. And who knows, what comes from those seeds may not have the tendency. I may never find out but whoever ends up with my collection might some day.
