Nomads Landing

I could never imagine growing on such a scale that harvest needs to be done around the clock.
So much tree and bud porn..!
Very impressive Nomads Landing.
wow very nice you sure to put a hell of a lot of work into things got nothing but respect.....killing it is an understatement trulyamazingThanks GB, appreciate the props, already go new beans comin, for next year, problems and causes or possible causes being addressed, etc. Anyways here is a copy of the post
So here is a background thread on some beans that we will be running next year from a friend, thanks NM. We are going to see how they perform in our environment. We have somewhat edited the thread to 3rd person as best as possible, without loosing the context.
Used one male on a few really nice females. The male hails from a pre-dutch Skunk#1. This line has been grown outdoors its entire life, preserved fully via open pollination, all naturally, and there were never any selections made so the line is very diverse and hardy, containing many many traits leaning from the sativa side of things and the indica side.
During the breeding of Skunk#1, Mendocino Joe(Sacred Seeds founder), selected from thousands and thousands of varieties imported from Colombia, Thailand, Afghanistan, etc... The sativa side of the breed was selected from Acapulco and Colombian genetics. They were hybridized, then worked to a F3. From there they selected a Afghan to add to the mix. There was special attention payed to this selection to find a mold resistant mother plant. Thousands were selected before finding her. After that she was pollinated by a male (ACG X CG F3), then being backcrossed one time, the line was complete.1978.
The male that was chose represented more Indica than any of the others. He triggered very very early and finished early as well. Large flowers, lemon/lime skunk aroma, wide structure, roots very easily, highly resistant to cold temps, hot temps, mold, pests, etc. Ive kept him in my garden for the last year and a half testing him out in various conditions. So far he has earned a place in my garden and my outdoor garden especially due to his quick finishing trait.
The girls that were used him on are as follows..
White Ruskaya: Bred by Nebu back in the day. Its is the Aloha White Widow clone X Cherry AK47 IX. This lady is interesting to say the least. Yields huge, potency is way up there and can be harvested to be either indica dom or sativa dom high type. Roots easily, grows very well in high temps and cold. This plant is a greenhouse dream. Her huge colas can lean right up against greenhouse plastic or glass and there will never be even the slightest sign of mold. She is impervious to mold IME. The taste and smell is to die for to.. think strawberry pastry...
Cherry Hemmingway: Bred by Rev it is a combination of Cherry Bomb, Williams Wonder, a super rare land race Bhutan and one other thing that is slipping my mind but either way she's a head banger. Elite indica potency sums it up perfectly. She is so narcotic its insane. The Bhutan brings very special traits to the table here. She gets giant as well, yields are insanely huge for how potent the end result is. She has Cherry AK47 in her to and it comes through strong with a very sharp cherry cream aroma. Taste translates in the smoke.
Orange Goo: Bred by 4Dragons, she's a nice hybrid that performed well. Huge yields, super easy to grow. She handles moisture very very well, cold temps not so much but high temps are not problem. She just takes a bit longer to finish when it cold, on account of the Gooey mom in her being sativa dominant. This smoke is divine, the combo of Orange Goo and Skunk#1 will be even better than the Orange Goo mom if the lime/lemon male translates in the offspring.
Cantaloupe Skunk: Bred by Insane Seed Posse. She is made up of very rare selections hailing from the same Skunk#1 line my male came from. Info for Cantaloupe Skunk can be found on hemp depot under Inane Seed Posse. Pollinated Cantaloupe Skunk with the Skunk#1 male, making the offspring pure Skunk#1, all though they do not breed true for the original Skunk#1 traits released in 1978. Expect more of a lime/lemon twist on the cantaloupe/mango aroma and flavor, maybe even some unexpected stinkers. The line is diverse. Yields are huge with Cantaloupe Skunk and resistances are solid. Greenhouse is a must to get her to finish.
Master Kush x Uzbekistan hashplant F1: Bred by Bodhi, this plant is a straight up indica. Master Kush dom, grows short, good yields of high quality smoke. Smells and tastes like a Chemdog/OG/Bubba kush. Lots of earthy coffee coming through. She was gnarly narcotic like Cherry Hemmingway. It might not be best choice for mold resistance though.They didn't have a problem with mold, and she's been grown indoors and out. Maybe the addition of the Skunk#1 male will bring in some more favorable traits. Not that there were any unfavorable traits to mention. The offspring may even end up being more Skunk-like than the original Skunk#1's that grew out.
Thanks ICultivate, as you know it has surely been a ride. ps. so far we are averaging bout 5-6 ea. but that is just the avg, at the moment, still got a lot more to work through, so it could go up or down still. We have thought about polycarb panels, it's just really expensive, as an initial cost. One thing we have also been discussing is, we would like to precondition the intake air at night, then possibly send that night moisture back to the girls during the day. A thought is to run 2 layers of anti-condensing film seperated by the framing ( our moma house recently had a 85 degree difference in temp when compared to outside temps and not a drop.). We would like to be able to remove the roof film or panels on a daily basis for light and air. And finally at the moment anyways, we would like to be able to light dep the whole thing or sections, so we can cut down before Dec., grow longer flowering landrace sativas, and to flower during or closer to peak UV. lol, yeah buddy, the last girl (Sour tsunami) came down the day of, that night was the collapse. The film was old and we had to perform many folded seam repairs earlier in flower.
Hey Thoth, how's it goin? TY.
The greenhouse is 20'x96'x15'10". Before this year we ran 6, 5'x24' beds with 4 girls per bed on 6' centers makin 24 ladies. This year we ran 18 girls, each in their own 4'x4' bed, but on 9 1/2' centers. Over crowding was still an issue, and without the bud flop, we would've had to do a lot more LST, and supercropping to keep em off the roof. ;)
Yeah we were really bummed about missing you to. We looked till the end of the Cup for you two. We still have a Maui n Sensi, +++ package for you... we'll get it to ya. Also sometime here we will try and come to visit transportation dependant. We are trying to put a get together, together, lol... hopefully sometime in the Spring.Guys! I'm so bummed I fucked up messaging you and missed you at the Cup! I was going to shoot you a text, but I sent it via the other method and, well, you know what happened after that. Perplexed--that's me.
Hey Hey Big Hempin, yeah brother, it has surely been a crazy, and wonderful year. Thanks for being there through all the ups and downs. Of course it still isn't over...lol... Hmmm let's see the strawberries... well we thinned em out too late in the season by picking the flowers and burying the runners, so they barely fruited, and then our water started to freeze up to bad to get any water to them, and finally just to make sure they'll be hardy if they survive(more like we just never got there), we have yet to cover up the plants, sooo.... we'll see....lol. The chickens are still getting bigger, cock fights are at a minimum as the pecking order has been well established. I imagine, once we get a plucker we will whack a few, Dia really dislikes the smell of the boiling chicken during the plucking process. As far as the roof goes... man so gnarly. what a trip, and the night after we took the last girls down... In fact I got to throw some temporary film over the temp dry area today in the greenhouse as it is supposed to snow tonight. But we really hope you stick around brother, next season is going to be even more insane. Thanks Big H, for sticking it out man, we truly appreciate it. On our end we hope to get more involved on the rest of the forum.I loved the 2013 Season... Especially the chicks which are huge now, very cool... What ever happened to the strawberries? It broke my heart when the greenhouse roof caved in like got damn you frost :(.
Thanks GB it has really paid off in more ways than finances... especially since the doughboy and his process crew keep flaking out... man...anyways. But we've met tons of great peeps on the net and off, and many are from the net. The Rev has asked to use our pics in his new and upcoming TLO outdoors grow guide. We have folks sending us outstanding genetics to test in our crazy environments, for some reason we have the uncanny knack of pushing the ladies in all directions of extremes, and still getting them to thrive, there is alot of arguing and disagreements about things, but as one person told us, they thought if we didn't argue so much over the grow, the buds probably wouldn't be as good....lol...may be some truth there...lol.unsure. And we feel we are getting closer to figuring out our niche. The bed and breakfast sounds great, we've taught more than a couple of handfuls how we grow so putting that into some kinda format would be cool, keep growing cannaisseur flowers, unite a network of ganj related folks with diverse processes and personalities to help add strength and cohesion to a lifestyle that previously demanded seclusion, strain preservation, and extreme environment testing (beyond the greenhouse). BTW, man the Pineapple Express is damn near dangerous....lol.wow very nice you sure to put a hell of a lot of work into things got nothing but respect.....killing it is an understatement trulyamazing
One of best threads I've seen in a long time. The enormous amount of hard work you put into this grow really shines through bro. Kudos.
straight up bro I envey you!.....everything your doin is crazy extreme and there aint nothing better than lookin at plants that are 10 feet long with 10 pounds on em you take a lot of pride in what you do and it shows in the end product....and the rev want s to do a true living organics outdoor bio on you that's great man ....yeah that pineapple looks like something special bro love to have that one!....great work man cant wait to see what you do nextThanks GB it has really paid off in more ways than finances... especially since the doughboy and his process crew keep flaking out... man...anyways.

Peace Green Bastard,
Spencer and Dia
....and the rev want s to do a true living organics outdoor bio on you that's great man ....yeah that pineapple looks like something special bro love to have that one
True, PC panels wouldn't be cheap, but their longevity and sturdiness would make them pay off over time. And pulling 5-6 off each plant surely means you have a little cash to burn?
Still, 3 years for that film is a good run and it's easy stuff to work with. How's the anti-condensing film work?
