Mother Nature did me right giving me some great weather to work with this run. It might be April around here but in that room it's late November
Here's the run down on what's in Vietnamese 3 way....
#1
Vietnamese Silver Leaf (Hoa Bac) ♀ is a Sativa heirloom collected in Vietnam in the 1990's, given to Reeferman Seeds by a friend who wanted to promote the best cannabis genetics from Vietnam. Its origins are from the Comere people of Vietnam, who are originally from Cambodia. Because of this, Hoa Bac Silver Flower grows similar to Cambodian varieties. It is chunky, early finishing (for a pure Sativa) and has wider leaves. The flowers smell of rotten fruit.
#2
Vietnamese Black Legendary Sativa from Vietnam. Should act in its effect similar to magic mushrooms. Hallucinogen with strong visual and auditory effects, even paranoid feelings should occur, not for new smokers. Very vigorous growth in displacing other plants, as a special feature huge 13-fingered leaves. Flowering time 16-18 weeks.
#3
Vietnam Delat by Snowking. This is a saving of a line more than a preservation, as the seeds were very old and took a long time to germinate. These are not like the Vietnam Black, these are weeping willow, curly, leafy, wild and long branches that grow up from the ground and drape over.
The flowers are tight, with good resin, but very small glands. Most all phenotypes are green, with the occasional purple phenotype. If people work the line, the purple phenotypes will become more common.
All three of those in an open pollination orgy
New stereo is so sweet man. What can I say...I got El Jefe's Vato Special on the system and install! Can't complain about the fuse because they fixed the blue wire fuse since that's what was cutting my sub out. Fuckers woulda made it a pack mule for drugs if I let 'em. Damn near drooling over the prospect of cutting holes in my rear doors for speakers but I'm going with boxes.
The gear I ended up with is solid all around. What they did was give me gear that had not sold and was older stock so rather than give me something new like the head with only a 7" screen, they gave me the previous model JVC with a 10". It's all high end gear but at regular price nobody bought it so I got it all at a discount.
I ordered a set of Alpine 6x9s and boxes for them to sit on the rear dog platform in my truck. That was another thing they couldn't get thru their head is I can't have a sub the size of a damn coffin back there. My dogs ride back there FFS!
I've got a VG set for you too man even though you got a printer. Wanna do it all in TPU but we gotta keep it on the DL. I don't wanna see a KL VG being sold in his dang hauler next year for $85
I'm real close to being able to call which plant is what strain from the mix up in the beginning. Description traits are showing plus plant count is giving me a process of elimination as to what's what.
The Ethos have not gone purple but may be about too. Right now they're a dark pine tree color green turning blueish.
Lots of blue lighting in the spectrum brings purps out along with cool temp swings during lights off for me here.
Indicas usually carry purple traits and will finish up dark green or purple for me. They tend to not cut energy to leaves and remain green or purple with no die off or drop until harvest chop.
Hybrids do a Fall fade after they cut energy into leaves during the swell. Maybe some purps but usually wine reds and golds to a very pale yellow before death and drop. I pull at the pale yellow stage so they don't lay down and die on top of a flower.
Sativa does a fade into yellow as well but faster and drops main stalk leaves. There can be dazzling colors on the flowers and pistils. Pink, purple, blue, red, orange can show on the flowers but leaves stay green until going yellow
Looking like it's time to plant!

Holding my breath here in this pic ready to launch it.

I'm taking a page from Moe and Stoney here with the hydro but I'm using flood and drain instead of fog or DWC.
There's speed here compared to starting like a common soil grow and that's what I'm after.
Aero will need work but in the meantime F&D and biodegradable aerating bags are my ticket to speed. I would use airpots but the flooding would erode soil out of the pots thru the holes
After the first flood and I have the soil good and wet it was time to open up the VG and plant some sprouts

I needed it for these guys.
I went to HD yesterday for a new plug for an extension cord and a fly trap. I always go thru the garden center to avoid lines and I saw they had a rack of 'maters on clearance for only 90 cents each. I had been seeing plants selling for like $6-$12 and these had originally been small starts for $3.
They didn't sell and employees stopped watering them so they were all dried up and wilty looking terrible.
So I gave them $10 and brought 10 home to revive. Little good water and a drop of grow big has them looking great only 24 hours later!
I have some cherry, beefsteak, and roma in this tray.
