Mexican jumping beens 2

[9fingerleafs]

yes, i think almost any grinder works fine but sharpstone has been around a long time and has became the "standard" affordable choice so its fail proof and recommendable

9, can you elaborate a little. Photos? You're going straight into 12/12? I'm curious about this

 

[9fingerleafs]

sure Jeg look, i have this little "clone and seedling station" haha just a 65watt 6500k CFL in a bathroom where i clone one strain i want to keep, this young seedlings are ready to be transplanted and ill put then im my closet with the rest of the plants actually under 11/13, i have just tried recently going into flowering this young and the plants seem to start showing pistils around a month later still stretching

 

[Jeg]

Thanks. I was thinking about switching mine earlier and was wondering if I could

Sorry potted for bogarting your thread. Had to be done

My favorite seed breeder recommends little or no veg time for many of his Sativa varieties. Training helps since they want to grow into trees given a chance. An example: https://oldschoolba.com/old-school-shop/old-school-strains/cambodian-haze-seeds

 

[9fingerleafs]

Yes. I think this sudamerican weed are good genetics crossed with the native genetics cause they seem to veg fine under 11/13 something like an auto but for the vegetative stage. They're not even sativas

 

[Zativa]

9, If it's a 'sudamerican' strain it probably IS largely Sativa. They are mostly native to places near the equator all around the planet. Most of them like hot weather. One parent of that 'haze' I linked to is native to Columbia. The two at the back of your picture have leaves which would be typical of a Sativa -- narrow, pointed, with space between them over their entire lengths. Technically termed 'pinnate leaves'.

 

[9fingerleafs]

Yea man I totally get that but they don't end up like sativas they're hybrids breed around the ecuator like you said. In the last page I posted some pics from a Mexican I just harvested. The two big plants on the back of this pic are actually green crack (I just found out) very sativa like leaves, they get very thin when flowering but overal short compact and dense buds. Check my grow in the link below to check it out along with a few clones and all the other Mexican jumping beans

 

[Zativa]

You obviously know a lot more about what you are growing, I'm playing guessing games. No argument, yours have characteristics of both types, and hybrids seldom look like their distant ancestors. The huge number of varieties available fascinates me a lot, so I enjoy comparing them. Some of the plants shown in your other post are really great specimens.

If you want to look at more bud porn, here are my supplier's catalog pages for Sativa and Indica varieties (pure and hybrids). There's a lot of overlap, but also a lot of the original genes which still come through in many of his plants. Details like the width/length of leaves and how they are spaced along the main stem. Never get tired of looking....

I just lov the different strains and since I've got into this mex.grow,I'm learning more and more about the diff.types and temps.that thay grow in.the closer to the equator
the more tolorent of heat thay are.since I grow all year long now and have been fighting with high temps.in my grow room During winter,if I switch to a more heat tolorent seed I can hopefully grow better weed!

 

[9fingerleafs]

Yes I struggle with high temps too, last week I killed the big sativa that I had outside cause it got all kinds of bugs. But the roots. Ohhh man I have never seen such a strong root ball before. I thought she was cooking out there and she was happy happy happy

 

[Potted]

I've been spraying with neem oil,since I started outside,it's safe to use up to harvest and keeps them nastys away. I kicked the Mexicans out the door and into the garden this morn. At 4 nodes hope nouthing eats them!!!!! Thinking about topping at 6 and manafolding? That's all for now"......chow

 

[Potted]

Did a full watering,20%runoff ph+cal-mag,the plants are big enough to take it the ph was 6.4 and full strength cal-mag. The forecast calls for sun and temps in the 80s for the next few days at least maybe the whole week.....happy hippie here I think summer is here at last. All for now ...later

 

[9fingerleafs]

Great to hear all is well.

Potted it is welcomed yes I am a Marine its a life long club,they don't tell you that before you join lol, thank you for your service and Welcome Home, I missed the Nam (lucky Bastard I am LOL). If only the Corps loved the Marines like the Marines love the Corps we would be all set. My dad cut his fingers off on a saw and told us a cow bit them off and to this day I keep my hands well away from them lol. Still fighting with Va for some of my issues but compared to others I'm doing ok

 

[oldjarhead100]

Zativa thanks for that I checked it out and will go back a read it more very interesting

 

[oldjarhead100]

No Title

all this talk about old seeds here's my bag from 5 to 10 years ago just cant seem to toss them lol I have grown some and it was really good weed. my dream is to cast it in a field and see what happens lol

 

[Potted]

Boy I can remember using a spagetti straner to get all the seeds out of pot back in the day. Had a bag like that too,more seeds than pot sometimes,

 

[9fingerleafs]

You should distribute them in your city's public places, spread the love
