Plethora of beans

[Slowdrawl]

I've yet to dive into some landrace genetics, but I'm gonna give it a try next fall.
12 to 16 wks on most all that I have bought so far.
Just gotta make sure I'm stocked up on what I need, in case everything goes to shit on these.
Ordered a few different strains from Energenetics and KOS.
Got a pack of Silverback from Energenetics, here is their advice for this one.
Seems odd?

(Zambian Copper X Congolese)
Source ~ Zambian Copper female, Tropical Seeds Company
~ Congolese male, The Real Seed Company
Flowering Time ~ 12 – 16 weeks

This variety is a very long flowering tropical sativa nld and is not for beginners. It is best grown outdoors but can be grown indoors with proper training and 14 hours of dark right from the start.

Yeah I’m finding out some weird things about these landraces. I knew going in it was going to be a long flowering time but I did not realize or think about them continuing to grow as if they were in veg. I mean they’re so big I could easily fill a 4 x 4 tent with probably just two plants. Yeah it’s a long time and a lot of time for something to head south! Especially if they herm at like week 8 ya know.
The Malawi gold is acting normal as soon as I flipped it to 1212 they threw pistils and are chugging right along

In which case having it in 12/12 the whole time will save electricity, inhibit growth a little, and let it throw pistils as soon as naturally possible.

I'd even go with 11/13 with those wild sativas.

I’m still reading an ongoing thread over on icm concerning just that with the same landrace.

 

[TigerTanks]

I’m hoping 11/13 speeds flowering along

You could also go with smaller pots to keep the final size down.

Malawi Gold is stacking nicely while the Manipuri decides if it’s male or female

 

[TigerTanks]

Well I’m in the week five of flower and one of them Manipuri has decided that it no longer wants to be a female. It literally has cut off its own tits
She is now taking hormones and his growing balls. It has literally quit growing pistils.

 

[TigerTanks]

I hate it! Such a beautiful plant. I have several that have proven to be stable and they’re starting to throw pistils pretty regular. I wished that I would’ve been able to keep the mail that I had. It never once threw a pistil. It was definitely a male and a monster. Probably probably would’ve been good to use as breeding stock for something else

No way do you want to pass on hemi traits.

 

[TigerTanks]

No, never. I’m speaking of a male that was stable. I had one but I killed it

 

[TigerTanks]

I killed another Manipuri but look at the Malawi Gold
And look at that one Wayback in the back, Rasoli female

 

[TigerTanks]

B A M!
Malawi Gold

 

[TigerTanks]

Rasoli seeds are coming along great. Along with Rasoli x Malawi Gold
Rasoli x Rosay/Sunset sherbet
Rasoli x Manipuri
Let’s just call this a seed run

 

[TigerTanks]

 

[TigerTanks]

Malawi!Still stacking

 

[TigerTanks]

Here is a picture of what I’d call the creeping Jinny pheno of Manipuri. It is 2.5 ft by 3.5 feet. Of the three females I have this one is forming crowns the soonest.

All of us know what a typical plant looks like in week 7, lol this isn’t even close! She has A LONG WAY TO GO

Day 49 of flower. The Malawi Gold from Real Seed Company continue to impress. Each branch has bountiful bud sites from soil to tip.... amazing in my garden. As of now it has a peppery smell and is just starting to put on the density. I’ll be popping these again next go around. They are starting to show some deficiencies so I’ve top dressed with Dolomite lime, epsom salt and 2 tbls of insect frass.
The big lanky girl in the back is Rasoli and she is fully seeded and looking rough but she’ll pull through. Her seeds are starting to turn hard and pop out. I used a male Rasoli early on thinking this strain would be a keeper, but she’s looking like a big vegetative plant that might not yield. I have another one that popped really late and it looks the same. I’ll have to grow it out again without pollen so I can be for sure of it’s potential in my garden.
