106 °F today and still these girls thrive while I got very low blood pressure and remains to me only the strength to water them, peppers and tomatoes.
Cookies Gelato is very happy and in a such way is adapting herself to extreme heat and still maintains a very short internode length with very thick branches.
MALEB is a girl. Borned from regular seed is a cross between a male lebanese "Black Gold" landrace and a female morroccan landrace. Lebanese seeds came from Majdaloun where a great friend of mine has served in a peacekeeping mission. Morroccan's came from Issaguen in the Rif. Both landraces at that latitudes show semi-automatic behaviour where are planted in early april and finish their short cycles in mid-august. My latitude is higher and usually photodependants start to preflower at 14.30 hours of light on July 15. Maleb starts to preflower on June 27 at 15.05 hours of light. A great result more than any "fast version" around. Her savages genetics are very clear, simply she don't care a fuck about heat and critters avoid her.
When temps will go down I'll take some cuttings trying to obtain some feminized seeds from them, under HPS
Cheers Bros
Sehr schöner grow! Bei maleb hätte ich Angst wegen boytrithis. Die trockenen, gelben/braunen fächerblätter an den buds sehen sehr verdächtig aus. Hast du da mal ins innere (an den stamm) geschaut?
@Rap_a_cap,nice! Really a high yielder. Looking pretty close to being ready. The last weeks, I. M. O. Are the most nerve wrecking when it comes to mold and the risk of losing stuff..
@GermanGrow182, you are right about that pale leaf, after the crop a little spot of rot was promptly removed. This giant plant is rather prone to mold so I check her twice a day
@GermanGrow182, yes German I'm checking twice a day and you are right Bro about that bud, inside I've found initial rot spot but all the infected buds have already been cropped, washed, inspected and eventually removed. It's really an enormous plant, rather prone to mites and mold but her smell is amazing and she'll give to me near a kilo.
Looks good. You should check out my Hash Bud, Bubble OG and Candyland diaries where I started indoors and now at 17 weeks veg. These were manifolded (first time) and are now getting huge. You might like Hash Bud in particular. Cheers.
@Rap_a_cap, QCS are a breeder and not just a reseller. I’m also trying their Jackberry this year and all three seem really good. You’re right in that I mostly have to use autos and I’m trying a few photoperiods. Now near the solstice we get 17 h of daylight. Hash Bud is a cross of a famous Canadian indica strain called God Bud which won the Cannabis Cup a few years ago.
@Northern_Ent, of course Mate, these are the only three strains of your that I find interesting, the others are all autos, I don't even consider them but I know You use them because of day length. How many hours of light are there now? Is the QCS a company that does research and hybridization or simply re-sell seeds produced by cannabis Majors?
Bonne culture, mon ami
Hello my friend! Looking forward to following your progress this year! At least you got all the (minor) mistakes out of the way up front! Happy growing!
@Rap_a_cap, One hundred percent bro! I got a little bit of a late start but we are still getting frost so it actually worked out pretty well. I'll upload photos tomorrow.
@Newbie87, the pieces in my hand are 3 different processings of bubble ice hash. The darker ones are made of 150 and 75 microns sieves and the matter is worked fresh and wet by hand friction. Is a hard and dirty job that can take 1-2 hours to be done. At first wet resin will stick everything, you have to rub frequently your finger. Make a ball and keep on to knead it. The job is done when herbaceous smell turns into hash smell. Wrap it with cellophane and store in a jar. Every three day open the ball and play with it for some minutes. Repeat it 3 times and let it rest wrapped in cellophane for 2 weeks.
You suffered the dreaded fusarium too my friend? It still looks like you were able to pull quality bud from the plant! I lost almost my entire crop to fusarium oxysporum last year. By the time I found out what it was I had already lost many plants. Great looking bubble hash!!! I did have one plant that was far enough along for me to wash for bubble hash but the others were a total loss. Doing better this year and hoping for better outcome.
