Sophia was mostly harvested on Monday. There are a couple of buds remaining on both plants that I'd brushed with pollen from a reversed female, so fem seeds are pending. This site is weird in that once you save a harvest, it can't be edited, so I've gotta wait for eval and weight until after the buds are dried. It'll be another week for final data... stay tunded.
Looking good! Those girls are going to spend the rest of the days on bud development. You’re not going to see much growth in stretching out, it’s not part of it’s DNA. A true Sativa, but it is a different beast compared to all other Sativa varieties. I let mine go a little longer thinking it would stretch more, instead it stressed and grew a few bananas and produced about 30 seeds. The tops colas were long and amazing, but there were numerous popcorn buds. I am enjoying the popcorn buds lately in my bong. Once this stuff cures out it has an aroma like no other Sativa. The high from this stuff creeps in waves, each wave is different. With all the stress and insanity going on this was a good strain to grow this year, just roll with the waves. I am going to guess sooner than you think on harvest, Bo, December 17th and Sophia December 31st. I will keep watching and see how these girls turn out. I don’t think your plan is failing It’s just not meeting your expectations on the comparisons of the two varieties. You are comparing two different landrace strains to each other and they both have characteristics that make them unique.
@SativaKid, I really think the stress from last years weather was the key. I’ve had plants in the past do this too and the only common factors were drastic weather changes during the flowering cycle. I am talking 40 to 50 degree swings in a matter of days with clouds, back to high heat and sun. Most years it’s just pretty warm going into October, but 2020 was everything but normal, 2021 so far has been worse. So you got me thinking and I got out my stash of Wild Thai seeds, I collected 53. I would be more than happy to share with you. I’ve been outside lately working on my garden and doing prep work for this years grow. It’s been around 60 F this week , but last 2 weeks it was - 25. No telling what’s going to happen this season outdoors. It’s also the reason I logged into GD, I was doing some research on varieties and trying to determine when to start seedlings inside.
@@PirateJoe, You mentioned your plant going hermie. I oddly have never had a hermie with this strain and my environment is not great and I've purposely stressed the strain in different ways. I even lost my breeding schedule because the girl would not turn hermie when hammered with the "Gay Spray" Colloidal Silver.
Nice job, I am going watch your grow. I grew this strain outside this season. Had all kinds of issues due to me,bugs,and weather conditions, but I still pulled off 9 oz. of buds from 2 small plants. This stuff hits hard and fast, then keeps creeping on you just when you think you are coming down. I still have a ways to go on the curing but who can resist trying a hit every once in a while? Best of luck to you!
@Varinaut, Happy Holiday's and congrats on the mistletoe, it's beautiful. The seeds are tempting. How do I obtain your mailing address without the World knowing?
@@PirateJoe, You were right on with your estimate. I'll be taking Bo down tomorrow, maybe Saturday. Sophia is still fattening and I'm guessing 2 more weeks, so right around the 1st. If you send me a self-addressed envelope with 1 forever stamp, I'll send you some Durban fems if you're interested. Lemme know.
@@PirateJoe, Sounds promising. I might give one a try outdoors this summer.

Ah-ha! Another senior member. Me as well. Took up growing after retiring in '14 and haven't looked back. It's an incredibly interesting and satisfying hobby. You might want to connect with @SativaKid and I over on freecannabis.com for some seed trades. Same monikers. I'd be happy to send you some Durban fems gratis if you're interested.
@Varinaut, my girls actually started flowering late August, week 12, just the week after asking my question. They went fast after they started. I would say five weeks they were done. I have grown other Savita's that took a lot longer to reach maturity. The one with the chocolate phenols went too long and hermied on me, but not complaining about getting the extra feminized seeds. I think you will be fine. Once it did start flowering it went wild, long trains of hairs poking out of everywhere, and then they grew in a line consuming the top two branches that I had pruned early in it's development to keep it short. The top two branches were like two small baseball bats covered in a train of buds. The bottom of the plants had many popcorn buds due to lack of sun and the speed of flowing development. Right now I'm just living on the popcorn buds in my bong and that stuff F's me up. I am in the prohibition state of Kansas so my photos are limited and trying to be discrete is an issue for me. I've been growing weed off and on since 1977. This forum of growers with all the new strains and legal states is a nice connection for me.
Hello,
I get understand your thinking about the harvest option.
Ive allready asked if there is a possibility, like with germination, to put a extra button to do a final update, when everything is dry, cured and tasted.
Very nice yield and idem buds.
Do you have a good feeling with the WOS seeds?
🍀
@The_Landrace_Experience.
Yes, I'm pleased with this strain. I'm on the hunt for THCV and Wild Thai is one of the few that actually m entions it in their description. WT provides an energetic buzz that's not for those of weak constitution. Strong stuff.
I'm very impressed with your grow table, lots of love involved in that build. And Wowza you are going to make friends easy with Bo arriving before Christmas. On another note I've harvested once when the resin was milky before for a super speedy weed. My biking buddy called it "Performance weed" because it clearly enhances endurance because of the THCV I believe. He liked it so much he begged me to pluck him some stash early. He swears by the formula.
Someone may have said this but regarding multiple harvests... when you start a diary and add your strain, you can then add additional strains as well. If you grow 4 strains, you can harvest 4 times. Hope that helps! (You can also edit diary to add the missing strain.)
