Southern Sativas sunning in a hot summer sun
This year has been an interesting year for me in the bush.
The weather has been seasonaly wet with better than average rain fall. One of the areas I grow in was clearcut years ago leaving a shortage of habitat for termits to nest and feed. Because the natural cycle of of this envasive species has been altered they have reverted to eating any pulpy sources from living pine saplings to carefully planted cannabis. The large mound colonies dot this ever- changing landscape and are a real pest as of lately. I lost a wonderful Nep Jam ,Strawberry Diesel, Purps and a Johny Blaze which were planted early in the season. The congo planted near this fierce mound colony also suffered damage and much stress but because of its resiliants weathered the attack and is still alive with a loss of almost 70 percent of the bottom limbs and flowers. To slow the attack and prevent future problems I use Neem oil,undiluted which is rubbed over the trunk at the soil line and then a healthy coating of Diatomas earth is applied to the trunk and is also spread thickly over the infected soil. Other than these set backs it has been a good start so far with new varieties being grown along with my older collection. Three week old Guawi seedlings going out this week- Termite damage on a Congo trunk that survived a termite attack and the other pictures show the damage to the bottom foliage and die back that insued. A few sativa doms started later in July at one of my sites... Orient Express Micheocan Mexican, late flowering huge up-right pheno (Spicy Cola) variety Old Cambodian hybrid Micheocan Mexican, early flowering (Dejavu) variety topped and tied down, Zamal hybrid in background also topped and tied Guawi on the left, OT Haze middle, Arjans haze 1 on right all clones put out in July Racos Old Mendo-DC\Neeples 2 Clones put out in early August (super stuff ) Hiding the plants well is very important where I live. It takes a little extra time with site prep, but believe me the peace of mind is well worth it. Florida Grape |

There is a treasure trove of wealthy sativa encrusted information on this site especialy Aces forum. I dont have time to visit very often but man when I do I can get lost for hours on end. Thanks Dubi, Mr. Garcia and every one...

Thanks Man
Heres another picture of my early flowering Micheacon Mexican(Dejavu) variety one month into flowering. It doesnt produce tight pole shaped colas but it produces small loose floral clusters with large calyx spaced along shortened nodes. Its appearance is similar to some South Indian varieties but it is shorter and finishes much earlier. The candied astringent grape flavor and purple finishing colors are amazing. Mellow up sativa type buzz with little burn out factor. It is very pest and mould resistant. One of The better guirilla plants for the south. |

Very nice results so far, four seasons!
I know how much work goes in to this, and what a gamble long-flowering sativas can be, so much respect for your efforts. I like that Neem oil/ D. earth trick! How to rise to the challenge! Amazing selection of strains, hope you can manipulate each and everyone to a finish. I be watching!

Thanks
I love Neem oil. I use it throughout the plants life cycle. The composted soils I make even get a good drenching of diluted neem which is not harmfull to benificial earth crawlers like worms. I use neem oil on my skin. It is great for treating pshoriasis, bug bite rashes and poison ivy. I even use a small amount in my morning tea to help aid digestion( I have severe Chrons and a cancer survivor). Along with Cannabis the good people of India have used the multi use neem tree for centuries. |
