I found a new watchman today. I'm thinking he's a welcome guest, any thoughts?

I can't begin to describe the amount of restraint it's taking me to wait another week or two for this one!

Any visitors that consume unwanted opportunists on my plants are always considered welcome......

This is an awesome thread! People need to work more on keeping the landraces for sure. Thanks for the pics! Amazing how long the hairs are on these. Long haired hippie buds lol

Thanks Coop! I've certainly been enjoying this project! I have to really give props to Khalifa Genetics, they have done a great job with the Moroccan Beldia landrace. I have two pheno's showing themselves, three plants have the one nice cola from a couple posts ago and six others have a nice candelabra shape. Some still have no smell, some a myrcene dominant odor, and some heavy on the pinene. The one pollenated plant for the cross is heavier myrcene. I'd estimate about a week left for the first couple plants to chop!

I thought for sure I'd be harvesting these by now, but there is still not a single amber trichome in the bunch! It's certainly very close, but just not quite there yet...

Damn those look tastey! What is going on w/the plants in the far right of pic two?

Thank you, and yes they do! Those two on the far right are a different strain called Mystery Machine. It's a 50/50 sativa indica which is just starting to flower. The Moroccan Beldia are an insanely early sativa!

I've been sampling and even starting to harvest lately. Here is my next one for harvest, she'll be the fourth one at this point. Amazingly, the trichomes are still only milky, none have gone amber yet. But everything, including some sampling, tells me it's time!

Sorry, no pictures today, but I wanted to pop in and give an update. My breeding effort yielded me about 250 seeds, so I'm in good shape for next years grow of the F1 generation. As I only pollenated the one plant, I'm happy with that yield, and also the 5 or so grams of hash I extracted. I got pretty stoned off that stuff the night before last, either I'm out of shape, or it's pretty strong stuff. Three good hits sent me off on a nice intensive high, old-school style but strong. I'm doing another run of hash this weekend, but using virgin flower from three plants. I expect it will yield pretty nicely. I've also been sampling the bud, even though I prefer to cure for over a month before using. I like this old-school Moroccan sativa. 

Still growing, I have 5 of the Rasol village landrace sativa a few weeks into flowering, 2 Mystery Machine females, and 8 assorted indica hybrids. All are flowering, some quite profusely. 4 of the indicas are over six feet tall with nice fat buds growing in. I love this time of year!

it's been a while since I've updated this thread, so I thought I'd drop a picture of one of my Rasol Village sativas. This beauty is about 9 feet tall and about halfway into flowering. 

 

Otherwise, I've been keeping busy making and aggressively sampling hash from my Moroccan Beldia harvest!
