Landrace Genetics 101

Here is one of the Bangi Haze plants, 4 weeks of 12/12.

This is the winter for Ace landraces in my grow room.

Acapulco Gold - (Ace via Nierika Seed Trust)
Bangi Haze
Malawi
Erdpurt

plus a Snow Temple and a couple of Kosher Kush's.... just because. :allgood:
 
Wowza that bangi haze is an eye catcher, outstanding form. Nepal and congo, sounds good.
I have a nepal jam I should pop sooner than later, been in the frig 2 years now i think.

I like the erdpurt too. I never thought I would but I like the indicas, it is what I am most familiar with growing at this point i guess.

I feel like I want to start doing a mixed indica/sativa grow, it kind of sucks going from one harvest to the next with only either or. It's like as soon as you get tired of indica, you want sativa, and vise versa.

I'd really suggest people check out this Panama x Malawi before it runs out. Those limited edition strains are real sleepers. I've been meaning to grab some of the Malawi x Panama as well because it's supposed to be much more potent, but this is listed on their site as their highest yielder, and I can definitely see why; growing it in 3 gallon pots and with these slender stems, I still have some really chunky-sized colas.

Super true, I was drawn to the PCK x KaliChina when it was a limited release. It is not potent but just plain exotic in taste, not you regular smoke. All the panama crosses look good in the limited edition section, too bad i dont needs seeds. I can see why you would like the malawi x panama, sweet.

I grabbed a pack of Purple Haze x Malawi. Should be interesting .

That looks old school. I am soooo jealous. I luv these old school crosses.

My only complaint, which I'm not sure is valid, is that these landrace genetics seem to have a higher tendency to go hermie. First time I've ever had it happen was this grow, but I also had to reset my light timer by about 15 minutes after a fuse went out, so I'm not sure if that could have done it--so far only seeing seeds on one of the plants and it's what I think is the more Malawi dominant phenotype.

A good concern. I think/know my environment is the weak link. It is a valid concern.
I know ace seeds and other good breeders do the best to breed it out before release but some lines are prone to it, to self preserve itself.
Them breeders must have great patience.
It sure is nice to grow buds with No seeds...:ciao:

I'm not certain if you know it but the Nepjam has the same Nepal father as the Bangi. Good genetics from what I've seen.
 
I can attest to how strong Maui wowie is. Way back in the 80's a seller I used to hang out with told me one day he had Maui wowie, He explained it was strong and he only got enough for him but he gave me a pea size small bud and said try it and if you want more in 15 Min go for it.It was a psychedelic high and it was great, no seconds for me But I think thats a grow for Hawaii, not an indoor. When I was 19 a friend was getting married and her Uncle a Canadian 60 year old priest came down for the wedding. I was sitting on the porch having a cigarette and he came out to join me. He asked me "son have you ever smoked pot?". Of course I said no, he replied well thats to bad. He went on to tell me about a mission in Africa and some killer weed he smoked every night to sleep .
I had some wild seeds from Thailand started last year and the cat ate them when they were 2 weeks old. I wanted to kill him but oh well. Naturally I can't get the seeds again.

Please explain what you mean by hermie - some folks use it to describe 'nanners and other use it to describe balls on one branch and fem flowers on the other.

Personallly, I find 'nanners a totally acceptable trait.





I harvested my first Ace Guawi a couple of days ago - she is hanging to dry - expected yield around 3 oz.




12/27 - ACE Guawi, over 4 ft tall, was ready for harvest after 112 days of veg (from seed) and 93 days of flower.

She looks ridden hard and put away wet, but she made it to the finish line :)

An F1 from a Malawi (african) sativa mother and an Tikal 4 (Guatemalan) sativa father she has SOLID open petaled flowers.

The largest cola isn't huge, but it's not at all bad :)

Her top buds were about 90% cloudy with lower buds (pictured here) 100% cloudy.

Well I guess technically speaking, neither one of those. I haven't found any male flowers, but instead I've just found seeds, and only on one of the plants. Very peculiar. I've trimmed 3 so far and haven't found anything that looks like a male flower, but I have a feeling they may have withered and fell off the plant shortly after opening, but the thing is there must have only been one or two because of the significantly low amount of seeds.
 
My Acapulco Gold from Nierika is getting out of control. I didn't want to top it, figured I could manage it as it was inside (8' ceilings.) Then it started to get legs.... long ones. I ended up topping it a couple weeks ago and still have to tie the top down every 2 days, now it has a spiral shape. It's only been flowering about 3 weeks so I've probably got a couple months to go,..... never wished a plant to slow down, but somethings gotta give pretty soon. I'm hoping to pollinate a branch to get a few more seeds, then I can see what it's really capable of doing outside next summer.
P. S. This plant does not resemble Barney Farm's A. G. at all.
