Panama Haze 2 - voracious sister of the aforeseen dainty number 1. She's obviously chunkier and a tad quicker maybe than sis. May have haphasardly chosen correct pot size to limit these hazes to reasonable size and earlyish finish. Who knows?;o) Happy with her. Can't wait to roll up an entire lower branch in a spliff.

This girl has all my attention. Very aggressive trichs, formwise, long like spears. Anyone else think one more light feeding? She's willing to fade pretty quick. I think she could fatten a bit, maybe will on her own, but I didn't write her code, so we'll just see.
Finally got some closeups worthy of yer apple pies

Photo #3: brother you've got a jungle growing in there.
Have you ever harvested just part of a plant and left a cola or two to mature? I wonder whether they would actually mature, or whether the plant would die or become stunted.

Edit: Just saw your second group of pics. Amazing!

Good bit to go for both I reckon. I think I did well naming Syd after our bro Syd. Good yielder in spite of all his other defects Obviously joking; this babe looks killer and you'll finally be able to see what I'm crowing about.
Haze x KC 1 looks like someone yelled at her too often during early childhood but nonetheless has got those great genes to produce chunky haze buds all up and down her wispy, downtrodden spires.

So FINALLY approaching maturing season for these girls. I'd say they're down within 5-6 weeks by week 16-17, with the Haze x KCs end March preceded by the Malawi down in 2 weeks. Any bets?

Thanks for taking a gander, let the ending begin!

Afternoon, Old Timer

Yep, I think 5 plants would have been good starting size Tis a manageable jungle now, with a couple of plants down.

I've never done much staggered harvesting, a bit outdoors for convenience or laziness' sake.
What's interesting is that the lowers on the Hazes are maturing firstish while uppers continue to produce. So I might be tempted to go in the opposite direction, depending on plant. The Malawi PCK has many more white hairs in her shadowy places (jesus) than it'd seem. She might be a candidate, though I'll probably take them as whole plants.
How's yer stash?

Still have about 20 years worth...but I'm feeling the need to grow anyway. Your photos are pulling me back over to the dark side.

Really just want to grow a couple of single cola plants. No bending, LST, or tying down. Just veg to 12" and let them grow straight up. I know that's not the most productive method....but I'd like to try it. 600w of LEDs, Blumats and coco....keep it simple and cool. Easy to work around and easy (hopefully) to trim after harvest. Hold off harvesting them until even Dubi would agree they're ready.....I mean seriously amber color. If the effects are more indica.....who cares... I have 20 years worth of sativas in jars.

Keep posting the bud porn DWD! As usual...your plants are doing great.

Lovely array of images all four of them...leaves and pistils a vague sign of imminent harvest...
However, prognosis is hard to make just looking at photos...
I, personnally, aspire to discarding pocket microscope determining harvest and use me mary rose and apple pies instead... this aspiration has settled down in my lump after mandatorily harvesting my PxM in three phases them being beginning, mid and end October...all had clear to cloudy trichs with the last batch bearing some ambers here and there...after numerous tests the mid-October one wins the game hands down in terms of smell, potency and duration with the only downside being a bitterness on the tongue, which is not present in the last batch...which in turn is more relaxed and dreamy...

DWD! You've got some seriously lovely looking flower my friend. They're all gorgeous, but man oh man... that Malawi PCK is what I'll be thinking about before I fall asleep! Excellent work man; I cant wait to see the end result and (hopefully) read the smoke reports.

Aye, the urge just to see some new babes pop and evolve is always very strong, some kind of pleasurable madness. 20 years of sativa! Good idea to throw in some stoners;0) Hey, and of course, if you desire, I can stop over for a weekend and help get that down to 10-12 years

I'd choose some relatively fast, good looking plants just for fun; Malawi PCK and Violeta, maybe Peyote purple or Mangobiche kush from CBG, ZAmaldelica x Kali China never fails to impress on all levels and hell a Panama fem could stay nice and fat and drive you nuts with lemon desire;o) The bubba crosses also look super tempting from recent pics.

Be well, grand OT. Any snow?

Poet, how goes! I like the idea of the staggered harvest in the interest of science I think I've let a very few plants go completely to term in the last years, and man have I had some great smoke, sounding like that middle window.

Nobody, dispensaries included, cures buds around here more than getting them dry enough to smoke, so there's a bunch of indica/new THC zombies walking around just waiting for non-skunk enlightenment! Totally hypocritically I'm starting the day with some Zamaldelica taken down only a week and a half ago and it is PO-Tent and Tase-TEE. Seriously could be Amnesia HAze by taste, texture and effect, though less cloudy. Last time I tasted something like this was A-dam 2010 when I came across a cute budtendress in an out of the way place where a buncha dudes smoked nothing but Amnesia, and this is first time I've come into contact with the taste and smell since.

Panamalawi sounds pretty damn good. SO many seeds, so few seasons! be well, orf!

Thanks for the kind words, Kaz - I'm always amazed with beautiful/atypical plants and they do abound in the Ace catalogue;o) I may give her a small feed then let her coast a couple weeks to finish. I'm letting temps drop a bit to low 70s daytime and 50s-60s night, give 'em the message

I haven't forgotten the panama hazes, the ones whose reputation precedes them by a mile and who were the true impetus of this grow. All other strains were chosen as tasty accessories to their long finish. Now seeing the Malawi PCK, watching Syd produce his hugely fat buds and then tasting the Zamaldelica, there's a lot less pressure for the Panama Hazes to be the "best smoke ever"!

Exciting days! Best wishes to the Ace crew for Spannabis this week and to all aboard, deedubyadee

Yep, I haven't seen this girls but under the Nextlight until a day or two ago. Turns out they're doing better than I thought Nextlight has a big yellow tint to it, like HPS, so the eye is a tad tricked, as with blurple LED. Anyway, these pics give an idea of the stickiness of the situation, which I welcome heartily.

I'm happily surprised by both Panama Hazes' performance in 3 gallon soil with pH swings. At 11.5 weeks, they look like they've got a ways to go and are already big yielders.

Could really only get the Hazes this time, light didn't reach the back of the tent really. Have to get a flash

Everyone just got water with Azamax at .5oz per gal (some some larvae in runoff) plus epsom salts. Malawi x PCK got AN Overdrive 1-4-4 at 5ml gal, 2/3 strength. The flush is now on for the Haze x KCs and the Malawi PCK. PH2 lost a lot of fan leaves, healthily yellowed out, revealing those beautiful lower branches. Looks like she's got her own schedule and she's sticking to it

Happy daze to all, dwd
