Its great to see you back again Kanga with updates. We've missed you around here.
Do you care to go a bit more into depth about testing your males? Do you sample upper leaves while their flowering or sample during veg? Thanks.

Hi mate.....Its is late afternoon there, but they get plenty and the good thing about it is they get better sun heading into autum/winter
yo, man, you got room down there for one more? I work for fun
Lol....Have to ask the wife first
Ahh thats it bushy, some nice shots of the soil. looks rich and chunky...
Hey Duck that is lumps of cow and horse Manure, I let it break down on the surface before I turn it under and mulch.
Cheers Jonny.....Its good to be back.
Ok with the males I like to wait until they are pretty much half way through there growing season before I take lots of tips to dry out and smoke, remember these are 15ft+ plants so I have plenty to try.
I then try and pick up to 4 good males numbered from 1-4, 1 being the strongest, then I watch these and see how the flower structure is, if the strongest is good then I will use that as making my main seed, but I also use the other 3 for back up.
I have always chosen the biggest and strongest males, flowering time with Sativa's is not a problem here, so I never look for that.
Thats about it mate.....I have heard about reversing males to see for other traits, but that really does not interest me, guess I am to old school

Hi Donald Mallard, interesting topic and I agree, but would add you can get surprisingly close outdoors in cool climates, esp with last month in greenhouse or if using darkening system.
The buds wont be as potent, certainly not as big, but it does retain the special sativa effect.
Ive grown a few sativas here in England and although much smaller than kanga's I can get the ones like African seeds strains to decent maturity.
This year I grew some Zambian Copper the same strain kanga has in the garden and I find it more potent than strains acclimatised to my conditions.
(Any more pics of the Zam Btw Kanga
)Also with these type of landrace, the leaves get you high, even the ones with no visible trichs, now I know why African farmers do little manicuring.
I harvest them mid to late november, my point is I enjoy them even more than acclimatised strains.
I dont think it is as good as growing in a hot climate, but its damn impressive what she can do up here.
I would add that some strains are pretty impossible for me though namely certain Thais And Lumbos... But Neps and Africans are V. goood and excellent vigour. The Africans do have it up on the Neps for potency though.

Hey Kanga what MNS strains are holding up the best in our weather ? More luck with some than others ?

I second that. except i work for buds.
Horse manure my favorite dung.
I can imagine how very tasty and potent buds you grow from that, o how i miss living in the countryside putting seedlings in the ground.
I love watching your christmas-trees, thats what life is supposed to be like you are living the dream my friend.
Peace
Hi mate....Living my passion is more to the point, which I believe we are all here for mate, to share that passion with each other

Hi ya Rinse......Sorry mate, no more pics and as you know this year it is the kariba that is getting the attention.
I hope to do the Africans again when we dont have such wet weather, like last year...it didnt do them justice.
I think anything that is leaning towards the haze is a good start....but if we have a dry finish then all the strains would be good
Here is a SSH that has been given a dose of steroids in the form of a Mullumbimby Madness male.

What's the bigger of these two mate?
MM
MMxSSH
Also interested to hear if you're growing that Nimbin Purple clone? Crossing that to an MM male would give you a definite early MM, plus I think there's something to be said for the quality of the NP smoke - very happy high - like the MM, but not as trippy and powerful. Would you mind making that cross for me one day? I think its one you could make a killing on at the market....a 75% Mullum, 25% Sk - Kanga's Haze

Come on u two.....Its Gum Trees down here
Hey Bushy....no worries mate its growing along nicely and will do your request
The MM was put in the ground about 2-3 weeks later due to it being a clone, but it has now caught up to the OW x SSH and SSH x MM in height, but not in girth or lushness.
I believe those crosses would have been bigger if they didnt have to go through a bit of a reveg, they both actually had small heads all over them and even now there are a few pistils showing......but as you know summer is here and our wet season starts, so now everything really gets into growing mode.

Come on mate, cant show all the eggs
But seeing u asked, here is a winter one that is revegging nicely and the clone is behind the OW x Maz along with 2 Early MM's and #21 and #35 Nev Hz's.
This #3 MW x SSH is going to be a beauty, I had a sample of her after only a short dry and it was a superb smoke.....cant wait for the cured stuff
