What can I say Koon,they're flawless!

I wanna have a shot with tropical seeds too when I order some new gear.Durbakistan is a nominee for sure although I have 4 out of 9 plants with PCK genes in my current grow.
Always wanted to try S@nniez Heri...

Nice to see you are into crossing,too,interesting experiment.I haven't had the best impressions with my limited experience with autoflowering strains,mostly highwise.

Hats off!

[Koondense]

Thank you Syd,
the girls are actually doing all by themselves, I only "touch" them occasionally and take some of their clothes off a bit

Tropicals it seems are now changing management and ownership so probably won't be what they were, prices already went up and they will likely get more commercial in terms of available varieties. A sad example of a fine seed company. But let's wait and see.
S@nnie offers some pretty impressive varieties also Eskobar does, I have some of their beans on my list but somehow I'm more interested in Ace's varieties. I'm not that into the Dutch style, more like World style if you know what I mean.

The crossing I do is only pollen chucking with insanely small samples to make any proper selections, so it's mostly entertainment with benefits Possibly in the future I will focus more into good selections but I need a lot more skills and resources to feel comfortable with it. I'm a very picky person, sometimes
My goal now is to have a feminized AF poly-hybrid with "sativa" expressions, vigorous growth and not too quick flowering start. There are some AF varieties I have that can be used for this purpose, this time it will be a genetic mix from mostly all continents. Asia, Europe, N and S america, Africa.

Another small update.

Things still look all right, all leaves are healthy and buds are starting to take shape, finally.
Plants health is top notch and I'm a little surprised they are still pretty dark despite not putting any fertiliser except a tiny bit of bloom the last watering.
Today I'll give them another low dose of organic Bac bloom and increase the lights power to 300W. They're mostly on around 250W.

Pangi - dark and lovely, short stocky stigmas remind me of Panama flower pictures. Can't say anything on balance in this cross as I never grew Panama and Bangi Haze before. Maybe Dubi can comment on it further into flowering when buds take proper shape and maybe get some colors.






Rosetta - a bit paler but definitely not hungry. Probably related to Durban influence, I can't say for same reasons as for Pangi. It's nice to be a noob.




Kolossus - dark leaves and most "indica" appearence. I suspect these buds will get preoperly fat. Fingers crossed.




Pangi(right), Rosetta(left) and DurbanThai AF in the bottom




All for now, probably they will get a bit of defoliation in a week time and some more bloom fertiliser when needed.

Have a great weekend

Hi Koodense,

Your are doing a great job with all the different genetics in such small indoor space, your plants look healthier than ever
The Bangi Haze x Panama hybrid looks more on the Panama side (leaf traits and overall structure),
but let's wait until the end of flowering and after smoke report before evaluate the pheno you have.

Keep up the good work!

[Koondense]

Thanks Dubi,
I too feel this Pangi plant leans more to Panama but of course having no experience I can only relate to written words by other growers and you of course
Meanwhile Pangi started to push out resin and it's coming at a fast rate. Daily changes can be seen and also first smell samples give out very lemony fragrances with some unexplainable depths, still too undeveloped to fully grasp. We have to wait some more time of course. She also stretched a bit more while I thought she'd stop.
Definitely the plant with most vigour and fragrance in my garden

A little closeup photo of Pangi, great mood enhancer for a rainy weekend.

December update,
Pangi is doing great, pushing resin everywhere and already very sticky when touched. The smell is very lemony and delightful.
Vertical growth has stopped a week ago so now it's time to get fat
Some stigmas are already browning, she will probably need less than the expected 11-12 weeks which is good.



Cheers!

Nice work bro, looks lush and healthy! Have you trained her, or is she growing free?

[Koondense]

Thanks brother Kono,
she's been trained quite early + accidentally topped just before 12/12.
Since I grow with leds in a small space they benefit if the canopy is even, so training is essential in my opinion.
I'll post some pics of the full space but a bit later when buds get thicker

[Syd Barrett]

Looking beautiful as always Koon!Soon they will be dense,too
So,looks like we're gonna finish at about the same time...
