Unless you live in an arctic region with permafrost the ground temp, below frost line, is 50-60 degrees year round. That is not too warm, would be considered refrigerated. Literally the purpose of root cellars. It’s amazing, we are crossing one of those generation gaps where old ways of life are forgotten.

Geothermal ftw. Luckily many folks are still utilizing this, have you seen all the "earthships"? After knowing the technique, it seems silly to not build a house/greenhouse in this way. I'm just trying to figure out the frostline for my region (Northern Colorado). I've heard 4-5 feet but want to be sure.

Ya, below 48” is pretty much the state code for water lines.

Long time no see, peeps. I will say there will be some awesome photos popping up soon so keep your eyes peeled! Everything has turned out wonderful and taking everything down today and tomorrow except for a select few. I am on day 68 of flower and the majority are done. So far, I am extremely fucking happy with this grow. Only issues I've had was all due to my fault, hammering them with nutes a bit too much! But it's all good. They look and turned out stunning!

I have only tried a few so far, but that Americanna and SoHum95 is definitely the strongest of the bunch thus far... The SoHum pheno of the SoHum95 hit me hard as fuck and yes, I had to relocate quickly to the shitter! Did not make me shit myself, and I'd admit it if it did lol. But seriously, it hit so hard, the initial wave was very intense and had me rubbing a cold wet washcloth on my face, sweating a bit, racing thoughts, etc till it ended up stimulating my bowel control!! Not been that high in a while.

I know what you are looking for, definitely grab the consumption and any WACO crosses. The Americanna has almost the same effect and I've only tried the fast pheno, the other more waco dominant one will be chopped tomorrow! Now I have not tried it yet, but the tknl5haze x Panama Red/Colombian Gold is one of the frostiest in the room and I have 3 different phenotypes. According to him, it's the intense old school haze mind fucking effect that will have ppl accusing you of lacing your meds and inducing panicking attacks... I absolutely cannot wait to try it! I'll have pics up soon. Definitely grab the Darien's Gap (tknl5haze x cg/pr).

Btw... Waco is an old 80s cut of Nl5haze. Has some stanky trash can amoninated terps.

TKNL5H a couple different phenos...which one is TK

and which is NL5xH looking or how do I tell?

Early sunshine shots of NL1/Big Skunk x NL1. The plant has exploded into flower mode. Seemed a bit late to the game, but is progressing fast and stacking nicely.

They both look nice. If I had to guess, I'd say the first pic is more TK and the 2nd pic looks more NL. The TK leaner might have more sweet og/kerosene like smells and the NL leaner might have more earthier smells of the two. The NL5 stuff I've grown had some diversity and smells ranged from earthy and grassy to chem and skunk like. Bigger/thicker buds up top for the NL, but more leafy. Great calyx to leaf ratios on the TK leaners. Just my opinion but hope it helps.

Omkarananda · Sep 6, 2020

Thank you @The Mantis that’s what I wanted to know. I’ll post final bud pics and flavors etc.

Can we expand/brainstorm on this idea for a second?
Burying your seeds in the ground - If you're somewhere that gets -10 degrees fahrenheit during the winter.. Is 4 feet deep really going to keep them from freezing/thawing every season? I can't find much info on ground temps. I've heard Cali folk doing it but I'm just curious on other locations with colder weather.

Depends where in Alaska you bury the seeds.
North of the Alaska range is where the permafrost can be found, so if you were to bury your seeds deep into the permafrost, they could remain frozen.
In South Central Ak the frost level averages about 4 feet deep, but can go down as much as 8 feet where there is no snow to insulate the ground.
Although the ground stays cold here in the Susitna Valley, upper 30's during summer, it does not stay frozen.

colocowboy · Sep 6, 2020

You’re real close to permafrost! The glaciers come into Alaska though. That’s pretty cool! Literally!

Here’s a few shots of the black dom bx on day 42F. I believe this is the 95 blk dom. The cut mr Hemphill talks about on the Pot cast.

Both are smelling heavy of pine and citrus. With like faint incense and hash smells in there too.

There is a third, but unfortunately it’s kind of a mutant and not much to look at really lol.

PHK Bx tester got the chop.

She smells like squashed lacewing and lime leaves.
I never smelled that before.

So/Rom testers.
I am impressed with the size, vigor and strange terpenes on these.
I have found nanners in 2 of the 5, but it's no different than most of the seeds I grow.
I think they are sterile, no signs of pollination in my room.

Gorgeous. Can't wait to hear your smoke report.
You an old school HPS guy?

Yes, since about 92.
My first light was a 400 watt HPS conversion bulb.

Now, I do use a mixture of CMH and HPS.

The plants under the CMH are often more manageable with less stretch and the buds are just as large.
