I'm really happy with these Thai Angola Mextiza. Everything depends on how does it smoke, but I'll probably plant a lot in a couple of months and I'll do a selection between them to find the best one I can. I'm guessing 9 or 10 weeks for most of the plants. They are really beautiful. Cheers

These are the Bangi Haze x Ethopian. I can't believe they look so different to the Ethiopians. I suppose these wide dark leaves come from their Bangi Haze heritage. I've a got a lot of expectations on these seeds. Some of them show real colors, as some of you could foresee. And I find that...

There they are these thin and sneaky snakes. They are happily growing in their corner. They are very light green and they are growing very fast. Some of them show red stems. Don't seem to branch much yet, but I've just topped them, so that'll change and it will be easier to control height and...

I planted both the Ethiopians and the Malawi Panama 7 weeks ago and I've just decided to flower them already to sort the males as soon as possible. I'm totally out of space, that's why. They are still tiny, about 20 cm tall, and I've started to trim the tops of the taller ones. I find their...

I'm loving the results from these cross. Thai Angola Mextiza. They look fast, I love how nicely shiny they are after just 4 and 1/2 weeks of 12/12. They'll be probably ready soon, I've seen some pistils come brown already. It is great that the fast-flowering genes in the Mextiza are easily...

Exactly at 3 weeks 12/12, resin appears. That's mathematical, very nice and never disappointing. I find these plants made with 2005 males to have as a tough structure as these from 2008. Cheers

19 days have passed since I switched the timer. Stretch is over, now the flowers start to appear. I took two of them out of the tent to have a better look at their robust structure. Their stems smell strong, their leaves are dark and they look quite happy. The resin is going to appear in...

Repotting time. This seedbed is too little for them now. They grow fast. A couple of runt/ugly specimens but 90% of plants look good. Cheers

As expected, the ugly specimens among Bangi Ethiopians have started to develop normal sprouts and leaves. Most of the plants look OK now. The Ethiopians are growing well in their 1l pots. I don't know if I should flower them now and repot in a month or so. Or should I wait a couple of weeks...

Hi It's nice to know that this thread attracted some attention. By the way, I grow in coco. Some new pics: These are the Ethiopian (23 of them, but there is a leaked cut from another strain there). There is diversity among them, which I consider positive. And these 6 are the Panama x Malawi...

I've just pictured some of the Bangi Ethiopian. They do show a lot of color, and quite a lot of mutating growth. That's exactly what I would expect if I planted some old Blueberries. Very wide leaves, very dark in color. I guess they'll behave normally in the next pair of leaves, let's see...

After 25 days after switch, stretch is over and resin has started to appear. I see diversity but good looks overall. These two I pictured are just two plants out of the bunch. I guess that under high pressure sodium they would stretch very much. Under LEDs the growth is very restrained. These...

Three weeks since I put them on soil. They didn't start very well, I think there could be some issue in the tap water. Other than that, I see quite a lot of variation. Red Snakes are the ones in the upper part. The others are ACE's Bangi Haze x Ethiopian. Cheers

These little plants in 1l pots are the Ethiopians (and 6 Panama Malawi freebies) after 5 weeks since I put them in soil. They look good and happy. The ones in the bottom side of this picture picture are the Bangi Haze Ethiopian. Very dark and indica-like leaves and quite a lot of...

I am also very interested in what is different. I don't like much modern hybrids, in my threads here I work with different strains, none of them being commercial. But I'd like to point that there are a lot of grays in between commercial and landrace. There are "old" hybrids and very nice and...

For me, that's a good reason not to have any of their seeds. I understand that a professional geneticist, or sometimes even a breeder could make use of these raw unselected herma genetics, maybe trying to find-analyze-awake-activate (whatever) some specific genetic properties, like resistance to...

What I say is that many of the seeds sold as landraces are not, but there are also quite a lot that look like the real thing. I guess a genetic analysis would provide the definitive diagnosis. I think we should make our opinion on every strain based in our experience, and I can speak only of...

You mean they are the only company selling true landrace seeds? I don't think so, even when I didn't grow any of they gear. I've grown several authentic landraces from ACE and CBG, for example, but most of what they sell are not landraces. Most of what is being sold as landraces are not...

This is the Thai Angola Mextiza corner in the tent after 15 days at 12/12. Some have stretched a lot, but now all of them are clustering flowers. Nice Cheers

That's a good question. Why would anybody look for landraces, while they are obviously worse in production, flavor and potency than modern hybrids, and they usually need more time to mature and are very unsuitable for indoors? The only reason I grow sativa landraces (or old strains, I don't...
