Long time grower - Back at it - Interesting Genetics.

If all goes according to plan I should have some access to some stuff come a point in space and time, to keep the Maui lineage alive and original (enough) in seed form on this end too 💪🤡🤜🤛 I finally got a hold of Cap. All is Good. 😁

I’m not! That’s what I just said! Latitude controls the hours of light! Jesus!

So yeah I made the point that I had the same daylight hour exposure as you do Chuck. Actually more because of my altitude. Which puts me in a sort of illinois/Iowa kinda schedule light hours wise. It's pretty close to Kansas City where I used to grow. Well sometimes I'll have a sooner winter sometimes I'll have a lighter here.

Planting Michigan might finish a week later than here and there. Maybe.


They likely finish at the exact same time as you if you take preferential harvesting into account, maybe slightly later. If it were same same clones compared by trichome color

Latitude wise your like 2 degrees pitch off southern Michigan lol. Week difference. Tops. Maybe 2 weeks compared to Southern California.


This does not make as big of a difference as you're trying to make it out to be. When Cold starts and if a plant can take it for is a much bigger determining Factor in most places than latitude. And longitude has very little to do with that. There's a much bigger difference in the start of winter from the south of the country to the north then there ever will be from the East to the West

Yeah, if you’re growing In a canyon, things will be different! But if everything is flat, then you will get the same hours of light along a certain latitude!

My plants that have more hours of direct exposure are flowering faster than my plants that have less.

Nearly pure sativas stretching through July and already budding at the beginning of August well into stacking now

Explain without using genetics in the explanation please

When all our September storms and the near freezing October nights come through. And I don't have any mold or rot, on unsorayed sativa's finishing at the end of September.


I need you to explain that one without using genetics in your explanations as well. Don't forget to take into account that my daylight hours exposure is on the orders of Iowa Illinois area. Even further north than you are
 
#508
Yeah, they should be! But more than light is involved! If the temps drop to 30°, then the plantis probably going to finish up Earlier than if it didn’t! I.e.! Die! The same with torrential rain! And mold and mildew! None of this is written in stone! And genetics probably do play apart! And some climates are more conducive to getting a plant to the finish line than others! Nobody wants to see you make it more than me! But to try and say that Tennessee is as good a place to grow pot as Humboldt or Mendocino county or even southern Oregon, is absurd!

When it comes to growing outdoors, if you have a dialed in method for your region, all that matters anymore is the genetics.


Assuming you don't harden a plants to transitional period stress as soon as you throw it out. Cannabis does indeed work the same as every other fall flowering annual plant. It's not some magical one-off that sits they're counting daylight and night time hours lol.


I made sure I planted in a way that did not harden my plants off to transitional period stress. And then proceeded to spend all spring making predictions that have all so far come true lmao.


They pre-flowered in May, some of them early May, and without a single one trying to flower or reveg. Not one.


And all but one plant, as I have been predicting since I first joined the website stretched and fell into flower by the beginning of August.

Because that's when plants that have not been hardened off to transitional period stress flower. Indica, sativa it does not matter. I've yet to have an experience to the contrary in many years of growing.


Aside from the many autoflower contaminated Gene pools people are growing outdoors these days that they don't realize are autoflower gene contaminated lol. Autoflowering is a dominant genetic switch. In all fall flowering annual plants actually. Once it's bread into a non-auto flowering lineage it can pop up randomly and sporadically, even skipping generations.


And breeders today have no idea what they're doing. They don't even realize that back crossing and breeding and stabilizing is something you do to make breeding with a plant predictable. That is not something you do to a plant that you want to grow in volume. That is just dumb. Stupidity lmao.

And yep, my sativas that pre-flowered in early May when I had barely over 14 hours of sunlight and did not flower, were already flowering at the end of July when I still had nearly 15.


Explain that with hour counts lol. And I'm not being pissy I just feel myself to be logical on this issue lol. Explaining that with hour counts alone is not even possible 🤣

First off! Let me thank you for Putting up with my chirping on your thread! And second, the votes are not tallied yet! Long way to go! Everyone back there veges Beautiful plants! The rubber is about to meet the road!

Mmmmm, look at dem August sativa colas you can already see from a distance 😍 def some end of September plants in there. Prob 1st week October up north.

These ones here are probably all solidly end of October plants, some even later. Also getting an hour or two less light exposure per day then the other half he patch. Should be flowering faster, aren't because they're inbred plants that were not chosen for their outdoor flower quality or flower speed like the mother of my peaceblaster cross was lol. The tendency to fall into flower fast that they got from the Columbian land race was just a bit of icing on the cake. Although the one coming along a lot quicker in the back doesn't count because that's just another peace blaster pheno lol

Well thank you.

I'm gonna knock on some wood real quick, Because my expectations have actually been continuously blown away this year.

The overkill amount of predator mites was very effective too btw. Within 4 days all I could find was predator mites. 3 days later I couldn't even find them. I'm assuming they've continued on their genocidal mite rampage dispersed into the surrounding vegetation lmao.

The indoor stretch is on. Getting leggy and producing fully formed calyxes.


@RoyalQueenSeeds that special queen once again caught up to the others real quick. Can't keep that one down for long. She's over a week younger then everything else in there. Keep forgetting that.

I've wanted to bring this girl into the peaceblaster lineage since the very first peaceblaster was harvested. If it's the flower I remember, they're going to compliment each other very nicely.

She's gonna go a lot more sativa looking as she flowers much like the Peaceblaster cross. When i ran it many years ago, was the most maintenance free outdoor plant i had run to that point in time. Decent finish time, fantastic yield. Excellent flower quality. The sweet end of skunky, not the raunchy end though. This was one of the original plants i grew that had me reconsidering my indica preference tbh. The qualities of her high grown outdoors, even though not quite as potent as my indicas at the time, was just incomparably superior lmao. The peaceblasters were the plants that confirmed a sativa preference for me, i just dont like most of the modern sativa lineages was the problem..

She's kind of a "come full circle" plant for me.

Who knew, "Uplifted and socially stimulated" doesn't actually mean "Tense and socially anxious"

Special Queen taught me the difference. Funny truth: Special Queen #1 was my first "plant teacher" lmao. First one i listened to at least.
