You killed me with that one bro

Ladies lookin friggin nice,Syd is a little quirky(figures ).But I believe that could be harvestable in a month.

Have you found that the "2 days in the dark " thing makes a difference?

He,just had a flashback of something you wrote in the Panama thread and never asked you,about Rhodes...

Ooo, a month! Can't wait to taste the Haze x KC. Chunkier than the pHazes with their classic sativa look. Just noticed I split PH2's stem in half, heh, she didn't give any indication.

I don't think Syd woulda been such a weirdo if I had uppotted her, kept her deficiency free. AS it is, I just gave her some CalMag and big bud (0-4-4) to take her home. It's either P or K deficiency that shows up like Cal def, so I thought I'd cover those bases. Oddly, can't remember which

The two days in the dark in this case was just to eke out a little more finishing time for the babe outside of the tent. I do smell terps rise during dark period, so better to harvest when they're uber stinky, I think, otherwise, it's not my usual practice. If I had a choice, I'd throw them outside for a week or two to finish a la Holeshot, just way too cold ATM.

Room notes:
I went to WalMart yesterday and bought a few more Eclipse blackout panels to double the ones I have up. Room is pitch black now with the lone exception of my heater pilot light that's getting covered today, could almost run without the tent and break out a few more lights
Thought I might set up the 3x3 for one of the fem A5 x Malawi beans alongside the Malawi x PCK and OE run I have up next in the 5x5. Could run the Amare and the Nextlight for 1100 total watts. Very doable as no elec cooling or heating in summer besides fans and ducts.
Anyhoo, dreams abound, as does bud

Syd, PM me about Rhodes and I'll fill youse in, deedubya

Hey, fellas, word update-day 73 since flip or so.

Mid week 11 the malawi x PCK and Haze x KC1 will start flush for at least a couple of weeks. Still many new pistils and foxtails, but the M x PCK is very dark and'll need a good fade. Haze x KC 1 never really recovered after repot, will definitely win the ugliest plant award for the grow, but buds look scrumptious nonetheless. She'll hopefully go the month, like Syd.
PanHAzes are sexually firm, glad to report, and putting out many a foxtail up top, while low buds are "finishing". They just got an .8 EC feeding of super light Big Bloom.

I've had the pleasure of making both ZAmaldelica and Orient Express' acquaintance after their short time in jars (OE since this morning).
ZAmaldelica's buds are denser, surprisingly, and it takes me over an hour to get through a joint, which is really saying something. It's got a great, dank marijuana smell while burning and is already strong, but with that uncured bud intensity and stickiness of stone that I don't like. I will leave this a while to cure so its qualities can come through without the yucky part.
OE had a lot of male flowers close to the stalk when I cut them off, so I'm glad she was culled. ZAmaldelica's buds now fill a good jar and a half, so around 3 zips, while OE's buds fill almost 3 jars, with fluffier but potent buds. I'd say around 4 zips weightwise, huge amount volumewise I'm testing some buds I left out last night to fully dry and after not too much sleep and a little cold she was uncomfortably twitchy for a good 1/2 hour, while I could tell my eyes were super red and I was pretty stoned. This is another joint that takes a while to get through, I've got about a third left after starting it 1.5 hours ago or earlier even.
VERY nice tastes and smell in the OE jars of sweet cream and fruit, very mango or peach or something, also some forest smells... it's a nice change from ZAm x KC, but I'm glad I still have a good bit of that left. The three month cured buds are awesomely smooth and positive, anytime smoke That'll permit me to let these sit another month or two.
I'm gonna pass out a couple of OE buds and get some other opinions. I might have a little fever going at the moment, might not be able to tell so well what's up. Anyway, pics in a few days.

Nice thread bro, I have been waiting for a good zamal thread or grow, very nice

[Ncali]

OE terps sound very nice, I think you are very lucky to find that representation in the gene pool. I experienced very forest and funk in my terps, and a lot of other people report the same. So I think you're lucky!! Despite the ball sacks, I'd keep her around because she has such good effect, and with such decent/good terp profile that might be a winner. Maybe it was environmental factors that stressed her? I hope so, because you might be able to control it in coming grows

OE was one of the things I grew from ace that people hated to look at in the jar, but very impressed with the smoke. Such a solid line.

Hey, NC and Oldyounggrower (OYG, you wanna see some ridonculous ZAm buds, check out the zamaldelica thread. Some beauts on there recently!)

NC, definitely environmental, without a doubt. When more than one strain herms who don't usually, it's gotta be me. I think it was a red power strip light that I covered only midway through flower. OR there was still a glow in the room at sunup and sundown. Fixed all that, but probably too late. OR it was the couple of days of timer screwup mid flower All dumbass stuff.
I guess I am lucky to have a fruity OE pheno the way you describe others. Also possible that she would have evolved over a couple more weeks of life. At any rate, it will be good smoke, I can tell.

Very hopeful about the Haze x KCs and Malawi x PCK as to new exciting smoke experiences. I'll get excited about Panama Haze later when she looks a little more done

Hi deepwaterdude,

Wish you are feeling better, nasty winter flus hehhehee

Glad you already harvested your Orient Express and Zamaldelica, a pitty you saw some bananas .... the Zamaldelica was looking stellar, super resinous pheno, and very early flowering. Should be very nice smoke even when harvested early with 9 weeks of flowering.

The haze hybrids are looking delicious! The Panama colas are amazing and still gaining a lot of weight

Considering the source....high praise indeed. Well deserved.

Hey Sirs dubi and OT, the Zamaldelica is excellent even though it's still very green, trying some now, mixed with the Zam x Kali China I know so well. It actually reminds me in smell and effect of Amnesia Haze at the moment. Buds are very nice bag appeal wise, not rocks, but nice, dense pyramid buds, very potent with spicy pot smell when burned Glad I've got another bean.
OE I tried this morning to get at her with a clean palate. Very nice fruit, but not for a tired morning like I had, probably better, for me, closer to evening, IF I want to relax with a nice buzz. It's not at all heavy, just maybe not as mentally zippy as I'm used to, more of a deep floater; suppose the Vietnam Black as opposed to the Zam influence I'm used to. Both plants were cut short, but they both feel right and'll only get better.
The Panama Hazes are not huge, but they're looking and smelling good and soldiering on way into the future. I manhandled a couple of lower buds on both and despite their slightly different appearance and schedule, they smell almost identically of lemon panama pot. Less earth than before on PH2, and less sweet than pure lemon sugar soda Panama on PH1. Really like twins, one big calyxed, the other not. The trichomes felt like a wet slick on both, very nice layer!

As for the Haze x KCs, Syd is getting monstrous and dark while her sister stays wispy and vinelike, with the allure of a sexy junky, and still full of white pistils at 11 weeks. I gave Syd a feeding of Micronutes and very light organic PK and he's going for a good while yet. The Kali China adds a bigness to the haze buds that means there'll be quite a good load of thick foxtailed chunkballs of Purple Haze at the end.

I also took a closer look at trichs on Malawi PCK and she's still got a couple weeks and a new round of foxtails tempting me to feed her once more. This is a beautiful plant, right up there with the Zam x Kali China for aesthetic gazing.

Pics of all this tomorrow AM at the official start of week twelve

[deepwaterdude]

Day 1 of week 12 today and things are looking good enough for me, especially with the aid of the camera. Really helps with perspective.

Here's Panama Haze number 1. Greener, smaller calyxed and longer running than her sister, less demanding nutewise, maybe less rootbound. Here she is.
