Landrace Genetics 101

I’m currently growing Ace Seeds Golden Tiger & Killer A5 Haze and are currently on day 40 of veg. Today was trim, top and train on everyone and will hopefully allow me too switch to flower mode in 2-3 weeks. Also have an Obi-Wan and Northern Lights

Funny that you should ask this. Usually not. As in they usually like moving outdoors under the sun and heat. Cannabis loves sun and heat. But this year... I moved my land race Lebbies and Durbans out into the GH a few weeks ago here and all of the Lebbies except one had leaf margin burn and curled their leaves up. I am not sure why. The Durbans and one female RSC Lebbie did not have any margin burn or leaf curl. Not sure why it happened, but it seems to be in part genetic with the Lebbies. I do not know the complete history of these seed strains, nor the genetics in them. The Lebbie strains were both worked for a few years in Europe. At any rate, this never happens with the sativas that I have. And these are the first land race indicas that I have grown, actually. The rest were all land race sativas or crosses. We had a mini warm spell here this past weekend, and they were just fine in full sun and 86 degree heat. They seem to be losing their curled leaves and moving on with a new flush of leaves. I have not really had issues moving plants indoors to force flowering, and then back out again, nor indoors if the weather gets too cool or starts raining early in the fall, like it did last year. I have never had any issues when harvesting and re-vegging indoors or outdoors. But by then they are of size and fully rooted.

I also had one Durban land race girl give a partial bloom when I went from indoors under lights to outdoors this year. Seems odd, as it has more than 14 hours of day light now. I hope it is not an auto? That would really suck. Every year there is a new twist to growing weed.
Best regards.
The explanation could be if you went from 18 light (for example) to 14 outside: I have seen this outdoors (without coming from indoors; 39°N) in some specimens of several subtropical and tropical/equatorial sub-Saharan African sativas and/or in hybrids with them (I am not talking about the Moroccan), a kind of "semi-flowering" whereby they start to flower as soon as the summer solstice passes and they detect that the daylight hours are shortening... But it is a slower initial flowering than that of other sativas without this characteristic and of similar latitudes when they start to flower, which only accelerates to a "normal rhythm" as the autumn equinox approaches (12 hours of sunlight).
 
Anybody ever raised a strain such as these indoors on a 12/12 light schedule? I know the yield would suffer but what about quality? Thanks in advance.

Hi NTH, The Hindu Kush I posted was grown on 24 hrs light until the flip, then 12/12 to flower.
Stay stoneder.

Hi WD, I haven't seen a good , peppery tasting Oaxacan since the 70s. Good luck with your grow.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about from start to finish? I have done this with some photos/autos and had ok success. One plant (the biggest I’ve grown so far) has done great on a 12/12 schedule since she broke ground. Was just curious if anyone had tried this with the long flowering strains such as these beautiful land race strains. Thanks again for your time and knowledge.

Commercially there are 3 solid Mexican lines available, some recent limited offerings that I know of and lotsa crosses, none is Michoacan or Oaxacan Highland though. For these you're gonna have to hit growers who've been keeping them for ages or take the trip yourselves. Genuine Colombians are being flushed out though and you can find a lot of lines without any problems now.

Well, Destroyer (Cannabiogen) is 1/4 Michoacan Verde Limón, and it is to this michoacana that Destroyer owes its more "commercial" and faster and tastier "pheno". According to the Mexican grower "elchichas" who selected the michoacana that would later be used in Spain to make Destroyer, the "feno michoacano" of Destroyer is very similar to the original Verde Limón.

Destroyer "feno Verde Limón-pear compote" [Meao Thai X (Michoacan Verde Limón/Colombian Punto Rojo)]; Cannabiogen; borned con 20-July-2018); between 20-October-2018 & 17-November-2018, her last day:

Cannabiogen also had Michoacan Cream and Chapita de Michoacán, I seem to remember...
...Too bad Cannabiogen has given up breeding and selling seeds.
