M.
that is fun!wait until spring... i'll working on...
hello,
many many thx for the flowers!
well.. it's booth... after growing pure sativa for some years i'll adapted my grow style to the plants... but it's also genetics ... had on my long journey enough looser's... with this grow i'm very happy because of the circumstances ... was not often @ home and there got dried out and also overwatered ... and with those all different sativa's ... i'll still see that they all need different amounts of food... some are very hungry in big shoes and for others was it already too much... in general pure sativa's are happy with 0.9 - 1.2 EC max ... 1.2 and you see on some that the leaf tip getting brown... also the soil is very important for pure sativa's ... if the soil you use is to hot ... the complete grow will fail... in my region Biobizz LightMix works best with the haze for example... tried also different and my own ... if than living soil is the best...
many thx again...
I believe the "rules" of harvesting indicas do not apply to long flowering sativas...pick an indica a few weeks late and it's like smoking valium and you'll get heavy eyelids and a boring stone...pick a long flowering sativa a few weeks or a month "late" and you won't get sleepy or couchy, what you will get is the full complexity of the high without the speedy, paranoia effects...I'd advise letting a few of those Zamals flower for a few weeks or more longer than usual (if weather permits) and you'll be able to savour the "fullness" of the high..and then you'll maybe hear the drums too....
re : sativas and harvesting .....Random - tell your mate that the "trippy" Thais and "hear the drums beating in your ears" Africans from the 70's that legends were made of were not picked early with small immature calyxes and underdeveloped resin heads - that's for sure! If you are going to take the time and effort to grow and to flower a tree for 3 ~ 5+ months of vegging and 4 or 5+ months..then what's a couple of weeks more so you can hear the African drums beat or the Asian bells ring loud in your ears and maybe grow a legend yourself!....there should be a law against picking a sativa early!...with long flowering sativas (not quicky Dutchies like C99, I'm talking about 100% Africans and Asian landraces here) the potency doubles from those picked at for example 16 weeks compared to 20 weeks..at 16 weeks the high is weak, unsubstantial, whizzy, wishy-washy and low in potency.......but after the plant has fully matured and cured the high is not sleepy or tiring at all, but has a fullness, completeness (I'm running out of adjectives here!) and a little goes a long way etc etc ....
you wouldn't pick an 8 week flowering strain at 5 weeks would you?...then don't pick a landrace sativa at 15 weeks when they need 20 weeks....
long flowering sativas go through 3 or 4 stages of flowering....to inexperienced eyes, a plant may seem ready-ish at 14 weeks, but if you wait a week or two the buds will be covered in fresh flowers and then look to be a month from finishing ....it's important to wait until they have fully completed all the 3 or 4+ cycles of flowering....the old and new calyxes will be covered in a combination of very old, old, young and very young trichomes...harvest after the only new flower growth is at the extremes tips of each budlet....this is when experienced growers harvest to attain the full complexity of the high and maximum potency of their long flowering sativas!
well done and soo happy your friends like it too... looks like you got good yield from her
This one page is full of love for growing and sharing. Even my words fail to convey my thoughts or gratitude. Just a beautiful result and the promise of what can be done with pure intention. TY MM
