Nirvana Royal Flush (Oaxacan x Jock Horror)

[yoss33]

I was away for 3 weeks and when I came back I found that the goats have made it again (enetered from another place this time). Lower branches are gone again, but most damage went to the raspberry and blackberry bushes nearby which are reduced to bare stalks.



Plants are almost 2 meters tall.

Don't seem to have hurt em too bad. If they get at em during flower, have a good old fashion goat roast BBQ!

I finally have a real camera (not a phone's one). I'm getting ready for flowering and bud shots
The plants didn't make big progress the last month - only rains, and what grew on the top was lost at the bottom due to the goats and rotting. Now the heats are back and I hope the growth will speed up. Last year the 2 plants started flowering very late - at the end of August. So, about 2 more weeks of veg.

Flowering is just starting

The biggest plant turned out to be male and is gone. I cut it on Monday and today I tried a few puffs from the pipe of its tops (it has been drying on the ground in the garden).. not bad Very thinking.
Here are the rest:

The second big plant seems like is starting to put out male flowers, but it's early to tell for sure. So, I'll be left with the 2 female plants that put out pre-flowers in June.
Now that the widow is not in the shade of the big plant, she'll have some sun for flowering. It's been going for some 20 days:

Nice pics Yoss. Hadn't considered Nirvana Royal flush, but finding out it's half Oaxacan sparks my interest.

Purple leaf stems and calix tips:

I'm walking around the area and pulling wild hemp to minimize pollination. Yet not much success - the WWidow, which started flowering early (in the middle of August, during the peak of wild fellows' flowering), is quite heavily seeded. I hope the Royals with their late start of flowering don't have this fate.

After a week...

The first flowers (in the bottom of buds) got pollinated by the last of the wild fellows, the rest are ok:

Not much is left from the body of the "bush" after the 2 big plants turned out males, but still I think I'll have enough till next harvest

Looking good man can't wait to see it finished

Another week later, crystals are coming And there'll be lots of them...

Quite nice colas are forming on all branches:

I now removed a few bottom undeveloped branches, microwaved their "buds" that weren't even "popcorns" and am very pleased by the effect of a single bong hit Very up, maybe a bit too racy, even for me
I noticed that one of the 2 males (the biggest plant) had exactly the same smell like my favourite plant last year. The 2 females now have a more normal haze smell, more piney than the mint, lemon and spice funk I hoped for. But still we are on the great side of sativa smells

Yet another week later, here we are:

Getting resinous and smelly:

Freshhh

 

[bodymind]

those plants are really looking great and, to me, possess a lot of similar visual traits to my oaxacan-leaning flo pheno:

the branching structure and budding structure is very similar. the oaxacan heritage really shines through.
mine have a greasy resin that smells of woodsy funk with a hint of lemon and old-school sativa grassy-spice.

Awesome pics!

I haven't grown a pure Oaxacan but judging by descriptions in the HOG thread, indeed, Nirvana Special shows her heritage well. Especially some plants. I'm a bit disappointed that the plant that looked most "oaxacan" and smelled like my lovely plant last year, turned out a male.
The 2 females now have an almost identical smell, but are different from each other.
One is with purple stems which are crooked when young, purple calix tips in the beginning of flowering, weaker smell, thinner but more green leaves and fluffier leafy buds. It started flowering a few days earlier but the flowers develop a bit slower. I still have to see if these differences are coupled with a difference in the high.

Hi all
Some off my royal flush grow in the tropic .
First my male


and my 2 pregnant ladys

 

[yoss33]

Nice small royals It's a pity that they start to flower so early at your place... here they are quite late to start, in the last few days of August.
Btw, I was thinking how nice some f2s of Royal Flush can get. I was planning to make some seeds with the pollen of the funky menthol male (the biggest plant this year) but my plants got so much pollen from wild relatives that it makes it impossible to be sure who's the father of each seed.

 

[RollmeoneKenobi]

There is still plenty of Nirvana Special on sale on seedbay! I got a pack.

 

[yoss33]

Mathias, the fan leaf shape of the plant on the right side looks so mexican and promising What did you polinate them with, the male royal flush?

Rollmeone, I hope you find nice plants in the pack

Hi all
I had to harvest because of the weather getting bad. The more sativa plant could have gone at least another 2 weeks, but it's good that way too It has a gentle smell of mango. The other one has this mango at the background, on the foreground is pine and flowers.
The whole plants were hung upside down. It was in the evening, so no pictures. But I'll take some when I remove the fan leaves. The buds all shine in crystals and even the microwaved popcorns have a great high, energetic and very clear Definitely not to be taken before bed. I'll see what the drying/curing will bring.

Just some photos on incandescent background.
As you can see, the harvest was very early, but oh, how I love this racy big-smile craziness

Popcorn bud of the chunky pheno:
