Happy Holidays !!
Look beautiful . Smell sounds so nice . How is the effect ?
@dubi I just ordered some more beans . Another pack of PCK and some Violeta fems
.The Violeta are mostly for my outdoor grows but I hope to flower and clone some before then . Will they differ from the M x PCK fems ? Just more uniform ? Cant wait to make some room to start these beans .

Hey East Coast Cookies, she is not quite ready to pluck just yet but I will post a smoke report once I've given her a proper dry and cure. Peace.

Hey Dubi, I have a soil probe-type PH meter that is reads between 6.9 and 7.1 .... not sure how accurate it is tho
Better to do the soil slurry method if you have the ability to. The soil probes are pretty unreliable

Jeeeesh .... you are absolutely right ....... bad probe ..... I put that probe in 9.5PH alkaline water and it read 7.0 ! I haven't had good luck with PH measurement .... this is my 3rd time with a faulty instrument. Any suggestions for a reliable PH measuring tool?
I have this:
High Range pH, Conductivity & TDS Tester - HI98130 | Hanna Instruments
Hanna Instruments High Range pH, TDS & Conductivity Meter Combo fits in your pocket. pH and conductivity tester for hydroponics, aquariums, pools, & ponds
www.hannainst.com
Hanna combo EC and PH. Get the calibration fluids. Works great. Had it for 15+years. Expensive, but worth it

Really appreciate the info. Thanks!
The Apera ph60 has lasted and lasted for me. They sell replacement probes for it, but haven't needed one yet. Originally I had the more expensive Apera with tds/ec measuring capabilities, but when I ordered a new probe it didn't calibrate so I got a new meter- the ph60. Been a workhorse ever since.
I have 2 Hanna meters that I scored on Sale, but haven't needed to open either.

About a month of cure into my same Violeta clone but in cooler winter temps. It’s giving off mint bubblegum smells vs the. Citrus/balsamic vinaigrette compared to the last run.

I’m getting the bubble gum smell too. I grew two and one (seen in picture) was purple all the way through with little hairs and fat Calyx’s. The other one, green all the way through with a lot more hairs and pink stigmas. We gave this one the name “Mango Magic” because it gave off a lovely smell of an unripe mango!About a month of cure into my same Violeta clone but in cooler winter temps.

Ooo sounds interesting! I need to pop the few that I have left but I’m always thinking about the next landrace seeds I need to try before they get old.
Violeta so far has been the only thing to actually get me up and going with adhd/autism. I want to get more punch to it though because I always keep coming back for more within the hour.
I think I need to try th pck by itself to see if that’s the side of the cross doing it for me or the purple Malawi.
I have Violeta x honduras going right now that I made and they are the most vigorous giant plants compared to everything else in the tent. Not even the honduras by itself was like it. The tops look like the Ethiopian in the the tread on here in terms of foxtails.

That's an interesting cross, id like to see it. How are you dealing with the height from the Honduras side? Or are you letting her ride outside.Ooo sounds interesting! I need to pop the few that I have left but I’m always thinking about the next landrace seeds I need to try before they get old.

The purple Violeta i grew had a energetic high with side effects of heart palpitations. The green Violeta (mango magic) didn't have the bag appeal of the Purple but everyone was racing for the jar and and it was gone it no time. I wonder if she was leaning towards the purple malawi side but showing the green recessive genetics?
I have a few seeds of Violeta which i would LOVE to grow again in the future but in the meantime im looking for some new ACE strains. Something similar in height to Violeta. Any recommendations? Also did you realize how easy it is to clone VIoleta?!

Very interesting I haven’t had a green pheno yet as I’ve only done 1 to test. But the way you describe the puller seems right. But to me the energy matches if you had a lot of coffee with the heart palpitation feeling.
And honestly the honduras it self had great vigor but I could keep it at bay by pinching it every other day. This cross I’m doing the same thing to and just keeps growing like it doesn’t care.
right now in a 2x2 tent I’m running mostly single colas or a few more if I’m not doing as many. It seems to work out better with less larf and more well matured buds. I will bump up to a 200w hlg led for the sativas soon to give them more light and dim it when I get the regular hype strains or indicas I’m looking at.
