I wasn't very clear... the current seeded plant is in a 2 gallon pot; it has stayed fairly short and makes me think 2 gallons is way too small for this strain. The one I just harvested (123 grams) was in a 5 gallon pot. It needed a full watering every other day. I used about 225 watts of light total and barely broke the 1.0 gram/watt benchmark this time, coming in at about 240 grams total.
You really did a great job with your first Honduras x Panama grow @Stoneroller
The red/brown you have harvested first leans heavily towards the Honduran-Mexican phenos, the other looks more Panama Goddess dominant yet still has a bit of Honduran-Mexican influence, wish i could be there to smell them and evaluate more things. Great yield btw Thank you so much for your frequent updates, much appreciated.
Great main colas on your Honduras x Panama! Glad you are pleased so far at mid flowering with their aromas and performance. Please, post pics of each female if you have the chance and if you find big differences between them.
Glad you managed to correct the imbalance issue during flowering, not easy to do that This one looked very Panama like during the whole flowering, iirc previous your previous one was much more Honduran dominant, at least in the pictures. Enjoy friend!
I think Dubi mentioned this one needing intense light. That being said I think your yield was great considering it wasn’t under intense light. Intense enough obviously because I think your yield was great and shows the potential of the strain.
Love the coliseum indoor structure @tjmccoy
Regarding the feeding, they are extremely healthy and green, sligthly too high with nitrogen, but keep it strong with the PK until the end for best yields!
I think people run into problems with heat if they try to have too much intensity in a small area. My pheno of Hon x Pan fem is fairly compact and doesn't stretch all that much. I would say it is a moderate stretcher only. That works well with medium light intensity like I probably have. If you wanted to have really long colas with a different pheno, more light intensity and penetration would be necessary. I also like having lights at different angles, usually one on each side and one in the middle. That probably increases efficiency over one stronger light of the same wattage, although some would probably disagree. If your scrog space is rectangular, I find 2 or 3 plants generally works better than one big plant right in the middle. Of course there could be other reasons for doing things, like trying to set a personal record for biggest plant ever or to take some cool photos or to have huge colas or whatever. The fat colas take a long time to dry properly, which is another possible downside of having a giant plant instead of two or three not quite so big. I'm sure it could yield a lot, if you wanted to try a giant plant. You could use a 30 gallon trash can if you wanted to, just veg it long enough. My pheno definitely seems to like some extra nitrogen during the first half or two-thirds of flowering. My impression is that yield suffers without that extra nitrogen, but I could be completely wrong about that. Prior to the last month of flowering, I was using Jack's Classic mixed to 15-25-20, which seems about right. I may reduce the nitrogen a week earlier next time. I switched to Fox Farm Big Bloom with a little added kelp fertilizer for the remainder of flowering, cutting out the kelp at the very end. Also - molasses for the last couple of weeks at least, which may or may not make a difference. Here is a photo of my plant right before harvest. It could have gone another 4 or 5 days, arguably, but I wanted to try taking it a little earlier than my last run with this plant. Early tests are positive.
! Voluptuous flowers with really sexy sativa reflowerings. The plant looked mostly Hondurax-Mexican while she was flowering, but i can also feel resinous Panama influence in the buds in the jar. Please, let us know your opinion once you are starting to get familiarized with her
You did a great job with her despite the problems with the soil, such a good harvest 
Hope it provides great moments during this first half of 2023. Honduras x Panama crossed with Mango Haze/C99 sounds indeed like a sativa hybrid of great potential
Wow @Cactus Squatter
what a beauty! She looks like straight Purple Honduran-Colombian pheno, what a difference in the outcome vs indoors. The purple cobs look very special, out of this world! Enjoy friend!
Hope she is under control after early flowering stretching. Glad to see her already defining budsites, a healthy start of flowering.
She is big and has a robust, branchy structure! Guess you are in the southern hemisphere, right ?
Yep Southern Hemisphere with a Mediterranean type climate. I’ve never grown this type outdoors before so it’ll be interesting to see how it performsHappy to see you growing H x P this outdoor season! @BillyStoker

My pheno was so stretchy that 2 plants would not fit in a 4x4 tent like mine. With my pheno two plants in a Scrog in my 4x4 would have the branches intertwined and would be unmanageable. Doing only one plant with this pheno in a 4x4 would be a practical choice.
Possibly there is some kind of root interraction between the plants also, but i do not know much about that. Trees are known to support their offspring via root connections if i remember correctly, but with cannabis I don't think it goes like that.
I shared clones of her with 4 friends this year and everyone loves it. I keep telling them to stay out of it since it was just picked last month and be patient, it gets way better, but…Wow @Cactus Squatter
every day one of them tells me how pleasant it is.
Intensity (PPD) is a function of distance. Having a few lights that you can position where you want has advantages in terms of tweaking "intensity" as the plant perceives it. I have a smaller cab (2 square feet) that I sometimes use for vegging or flowering. It has a 32 watt old-style LED panel and usually two 23w CFLs. That's 78 watts total. I've pulled as much as 2 1/2 ounces from this cabinet using only 78 watts, and it's usually very high quality because everything stays nice and cool, and the light is even dispersed. Here is a recent run from this cab, last summer, right before I started working with Ace genetics. First pic is at harvest, second pic is a handful of cured buds today, third pic shows density/weight (yes, I should clean my scale with some alcohol). This particular run was just shy of 2 ounces. You don't need a "badass" light to have good results. My first light was a 1000 watt metal halide (eons ago), and that was way more than I needed at the time although I didn't know it. People have been complaining that the newest white LEDs don't produce trichomes with proper heads, don't get you high, etc., so who knows. It's definitely better to have things on the cool side if you want the nicest final product, perhaps at the cost of a bit of extra yield. Hon x Pan is half Panama, genetically, and Dubi has stated that Panama can do well under moderate light, so it stands to reason that at least some phenos of Hon x Pan probably don't have the light intensity requirements of a pure Honduras. My pheno doesn't grow tall like a corn plant (like a pure Honduras). I'd rather have 8 ounces of something that smells really nice (grown nice and 'cool' like a Hawaiian or Columbian mountaintop) than 10 or even 12 ounces of something lesser. It's priorities and personal preference in the end. Don't be afraid to experiment with CMH or other types of light in addition to your LED panel.My pheno was so stretchy that 2 plants would not fit in a 4x4 tent like mine. With my pheno two plants in a Scrog in my 4x4 would have the branches intertwined and would be unmanageable. Doing only one plant with this pheno in a 4x4 would be a practical choice.
Many people think you need many plants to get a good yield. Most times that is the case but in this case more is not necessary or better. A fellow grower got 15oz. from one plant in a ten gallon pot. Potential for huge yields is there. Besides taking care of only one plant makes for a low maintenance and easy care grow. Also who doesn’t like cool photos and massive yields?
I use a bar light type of light that covers my whole space. It‘s a 650 watt light and is perfect for a 4x4. Yes of course you can get too much light for a given space and cause heat problems. I was simply stating that this plant does best with and likes intense light.
