Update time again!
I've tested both the Utopia Haze and Tangerine Dream and I am duly impressed. When I started growing, I set out to find a sativa like the ones I used to know, but after the failures with the Indian Skunk and Hawaiian Snow, I had pretty much talked myself into being satisfied with sativa dom hybrids. I like both Jamaican Dream and White Panther and they're a breeze to grow, so why do I want to mess with a slow ill-behaved sativa? Well these two have changed my mind again. They'll both be done within 12 weeks, they both have good solid buds, and they both are really nice sativa highs.
If I can't reveg Utopia, I'll try fem seed again - I think it's a fairly stable strain. And since TD looks like it'll turn out, I'll probably try another tall lanky pure sativa.
Here's the yummy Utopia Haze, still pumping out fat calyxes. Oh, I almost forgot - brix 16/17!!!!!

I'm really loving the look of this Tangerine Dream - those long chevron buds - I swear I grew some plants just like this back in the day. I can remember the dry buds popping of the branches like wheat kernels off a stalk. Just like these. And the sandlewood plays tricks too. The sample I took was very nice - no particular aroma or taste, it's an early bud - but a very good clear high. More testing will be required.
I gave her another shot of drench today - she has another 2+ weeks to go, I estimate.

The next three are running at about the same pace. The SLH Reveg should be a week ahead of the others, but she's been falling back. I think there are just too many bud sites on this plant - should have thinned it more, but ... brix rocketed up this week to 15/17, so she must be happy. The Jamaican Dream is looking fabulous again - it's just an amazing strain - look at the trich production at 25 days after pistil set! And the White Panther is no slouch either. I love plants at this stage, all healthy and vibrant and growing trichs like mad. The WP1 and JD4 both got their first drench today - SLH will wait a little while more.
SLH Reveg - 239 days old - 41 days 12/12 - 31 since pistils - brix 15/17
JD4 - 152 days old - 36 days 12/12 - 25 days since pistils - brix 12/13
WP1 - 112 Days old - 35 days 12/12 - 25 since pistils - brix 13/13
I'm excited about this Panama! The last one was gorgeous and I had no idea it was coming. I get to watch this one develop and it's so much bigger. Mm-mph.
Pana1 - 83 days old - 21 days 12/12 - 11 since pistils - brix 11/12
I LSTed Cotton Candy and she's getting all bushy - nice strain
Cotton Candy - 47 days
I topped Grapefruit and she's been slow to recover - one of those strains that fully intends to grow straight up with side branches that develop later.
Grapefruit - 46 days
I topped Carnival too, and she had no such issues - took it in stride.
In fact she thrived on it. This is going to be a nice fat bushy plant.
Carnival - 45 days
My cuttings were a pitiful failure. I managed to save a WP and 2 SLH's, and the JD is too far into bloom to root easily, so I lost that unless I reveg or mess with a blooming cut. I took another batch yesterday.
