Welcome, 420 enthusiasts and bean stalkers!
This is Part II of Emeraldo's Super Lemon Haze (SLH) pheno exploration and breeding project. The SLH part of this 2023 grow consists of 1 original GHS feminized SLH seedling (sigh! the last of my 5-pack!) and 11 regular seedlings begotten last year from two GHS feminized SLH plants crossed with other genetics (Sensi's Michka and ACE's Super Malawi Haze). These 12 plants are now in early veg. After sexing the regulars I will select a female or two for sinsemilla harvest, and -- if I find a male of the Lemon Skunk persuasion -- I'll pollinate the 1 original GHS feminized SLH plant, back-crossing to reinforce the Lemon Skunk phenotype genetics in a new crop of seeds for Part III next year. That's the plan, anyway. More later.
In a second group, 5 seeds from last year's Durban-Thai Highflyer x C99 (Fleur du Mal) female, which was selectively pollinated with pollen from a Malawi (ACE) male, have popped. These Durban-Thai x Malawi plants will be force-flowered in a mini-greenhouse outdoors in a few weeks. From those, 1 or more females will be selected for sinsemilla. I'll be looking to see how the Durban-Thai's cerebral effect will combine with Malawi's exquisite body/head buzz. Additionally, crossing with the earlier-flowering Durban-Thai may have shortened the long Malawi flowering time. I'm also curious as to whether Hybrid Vigor will kick in and affect growth in this cross, since the vigorous African genetics of the pure sativa Malawi landrace were not included in the original 1970s breeding of Haze from strains from Mexico, Colombia, India and Thailand. We'll see how that works out!
Finally, I was unexpectedly gifted several fresh Barney's Farm feminized seeds all of which have popped and will be grown out here in a third group: Amnesia Lemon, G13 Haze, Mimosa Evo, Blue Sunset Sherbert, and a highly recommended no-name indica gifted as part of a test. Who am I to blow against the wind?
Wind or no, if this sort of thing blows your skirt up, I'd be pleased to see you here on this short segment of the never-ending genetic journey...
Details to follow soon, enjoy your growings... and remember to buy whenever possible from 420 sponsors!
