LandraceLarry So this is my first pure landrace grow and my first grow with regular, non feminized seeds. Bought these seeds on the Cannafair this summer directly from the breeder. If I remember right, Ryan from Love of Landrace said this strain is probably his fastest flowering pure African sativa strain. He did not recommend grinding the seeds down with sandpaper but leaving them in water a bit longer and to be patient. The seeds take longer than your standard hybrid. I guess my approach of growing pure landrace sativas in a tiny flowering tent is rather bold, let's hope for the best. Will have to train a lot probably.
Left the seeds for 24h in hydrogen peroxide and put them directly into soil. Took almost a full week to germinate, normally I need like 3-4 days. Very excited, hope this one is a female. I did a bit of a resilience test: I had two seedlings die in this soil due to damping off. So if this one survives the pathogens, I would say it is save to say it is rather resilient.
Custom soil mix as always, 60% light mix, 25% coco, 15% diatomaceous earth, worm casting and activated charcoal, layered so the deeper you go in the soil the more nutrients the plant gets.
Vegetation is done without a tent in the corner of my office in order to save space in the flowering area. I will grow this one for like 2-3 weeks and a soon as the plant is like 20cm, I will put it in flower by just removing the plant from my vegetation area after 12hours and putting it into a dark room for 12 hours. This way I can check the gender without risking pollination of my flowering plants.
