This Years Offerings 2022

[OldFord]

Right boys & girls this is almost the last pics from this years flower show sadly.   

 

I still have the Dutch Passion  Passion #1 lower stuff still cooking but its been out a few weeks now and with me being in & out of hospital sadly shes been neglected and have no idea how it looks .... will find out tomoz ! 

 

Ok ,  the last 2 that were still running were the Mexican Sativa thingy  ... i have no idea     It was one of our pensioner grower collectives plant that outgrew the tent and i was given the task of trying to get it home.   I kind of neglected it when it needed love the most but it did complete and offer a healthy bounty ,  as to the quality i have no idea other than she was rot free , dense spicy nuggets and seemed healthy enough ,  it got chopped / dried and dumped in the cooking bags.

 

The Mexican Sativa Thingy 

 

 

 

Dutch Passion   Passion #1  ,   my 1st run of DP's fems and highly impressed !      

 

Again i intentionally neglected the shit out of her as had read and was told she was a hardy outdoor girl bred to take our poor weather so she had some tough love and i got to say im a fan of the plant.     I cant speak for potency or flavour ,  im speaking in terms of being a garden growers delight -   huge yield for her size , dense nuggets  ,  little to no smell until shes handled and even then shes mild.    Lots of colouron this girl , the last few weeks she really picked up colour and went dark on the mains.

A bumper crop and not a single blemish or spot of rot to be seen and i really pushed her  ... leaving dead / decaying leaves ,  little feed ,  just harsh love as i wanted to really test her and she passed with flying colour.s.      With all the pics over the last few weeks of her im sure i will get some in the timeline mixed up      

Anyway the lowers are still cooking outwith all the main stuff on the nets drying.

 

I took numerous boxes from this girl ,  filled the nets on her own so im really happy with her.

 

Such a sad time when theres only 1/2 a plant left and the seasons over !    But heres to a fantastic 2023 .. with a little luck.

 

Thanks for stopping by and all the very best boys & girls.

Stunning pair of girls there. They have both done incredibly well given the late point in the year. I suppose the mild weather has helped a fair bit. The Passion #1 is particularly impressive, I will certainly look into that strain for my attempt next year.

 

Growing season drawing to a close. But that means it will soon be time to enjoy the fruits of your labour.  All the best!

Cheers  ,  Sad times indeed sir !     The Passion #1 has def impressed me and a very promising results but would like to see her in the ground as the vigour / growth traits are outstanding.

 

Been a few stand out new plants this season ,  Panik's Super 61 and Fast Lemon Cake will be on my list for next run alongside the Passion #1 and the Black Lebanon as all had something special that i would like to play with on another run.    All offered up really dense dried nuggets with some huge aromas for outdoors , the Black Leb in particular offering a unique terpine profile i have never experienced before and its so unlike weed ,  almost exotic fruit &  flowers.     

More than happy to send some beans of each into Joolz to be sent on for you           All the best mate ,

Black Leb sounds interesting.  

 

Given where I am, I've been researching autos/semi-autos or 'fast' versions. But it would be great to find strains that are really tough and can survive well into late October/early November. That's why I'm intrigued by your experience with Passion #1. Saw some discussion of latitude a while back... I can't remember, but I seem to recall you're reasonably far north, is that right?

Im down south mate  , lat 52/ 53 but i GG in Glasgow and fam do a few plants in Inverness.         The Passion #1 will be run in Inverness next season.   

FYI ... Paniks Super 61's romped home with zero issues up north

Ah, yes I remember a reference to the Dear Green Place in a thread somewhere. That must have sown confusion in my mind. So if Passion #1 is finishing late October/early November where you are, then it will be a fair bit later at lat 55/56.....depending on conditions too I suppose.

 

I'll definitely try out some later finishers though, see what's possible and also maybe find some strains that are tough and hardy enough to survive through the autumn...

Mate sorry to keep quoting  but the site wont let me tag , like or add pics ,  tried numerous browsers and devices to the same effect.  

 

The Passion #1 was a late starter due to being offered from Antonio later in the season from memory and from what i have seen so far its highly likely with an early enough start you could be on a winner.

The Passion #1 when done up north will most likely be forced a good few weeks early to lift her skirts and get her lady bits out ... just to ensure its a winner.    Nothing fancy , prob just a cane frame & blackout sheet then let her go her own way once flowering as natural hours should be ok.

@OldFord, yeah that makes sense. Inversneggy is above lat 57, so quite far north, can see light dip being a good idea. I suppose starting a bit earlier would mean a bigger plant, more established, possibly starting to flower slightly earlier right enough.

I'd never have guessed a Mexican sativa to be even remotely suitable for outdoors but she looks bloody brilliant mate, you've got a bit of a knack for this haven't you .
