Photoperiod Subtropical perpetual outdoor guerilla grow with Connoisseur Genetics: crosses of Neville's Haze, Thai, SSSDHaze, Mullumbimby, Kariba

@St. Tom -- thanks for the rep and kind words.
I'm no longer growing in the UK.
Basic info on the location as follows.
You can see it's totally different season to UK.

The guerilla grow

My location is between 24N and 27N latitude.
Not telling you the exact details, don't ask!
We can consider it sub-tropical, with a Cfa climate -- Temperate, no dry season, hot summer.
Main season starts spring through summer, after heavy rains and storms of August-September, and aiming to finish around Jan-Feb.

I'm at a slight altitude, about 300m = 1000' above sea level.
Means a bit more rain and fog than down in the flat below.
Apart from these abandoned houses and some other used housing, it is forest / jungle all around.

Mid July summer is 13.5/10.5, and winter solstice late Dec is about 10.5/13.5.
Perfect for hazes and other tropical cultivars such as my selection above.
Photoperiod indica and even many hybrid cultivars will often flower in the middle of summer here.
E.g., of my two Lemon N Lime Jones = Casey Jones cut x SSSDH plants last season, one just flowered spring and finished mid summer, the other kind of kept flowering all through summer into autumn.
Lemon n Lime Jones is still about 75% sativa, 25%!

I cant wait for a smoke report!! Those are gonna be borderline psychedelic i know it!

I'm a bit lazy with the formal smoke reports.
Needless to say, I rate the mother as in the top three smokes I've had the pleasure of partaking in.
I get a retinal image often, of a blazing white sun (my own retina), in the middle of my vision.

This has been one of my favorite threads. I am I the same boat, really looking forward to hearing how these turn out.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you've had fun with me on the journey.
I want to try to dry the 'Thai' pheno whole, without cutting her into pieces.
Mainly so I can do some epic pics of such a massive sativa flower.
But we'll see what drying conditions are like, and proceed appropriately.
 
Some blurry pics on a sunny day:

Spot of mold on her after a few days of fog / mist / light rain.
Luckily she's just entering the harvest window.
Longer would have been better.
But planning on cutting her as soon as I have the chance.

Day something something... harvest for 'Thai' pheno


She's finally come down.
45 cm = 18" long top cola, that's 20 cm = 8" wide.
Just calyx upon calyx, inner leaf upon leaf.
Everything in there is sticky at this point.
The rot hadn't progressed, but I found another tiny spot.
On the early side, but down she comes.

I know it would be best to cut up to dry.
But i want to see what she'd look like as a single bud.
I'll cut her if there are any issues, though.


Peace and Love,

She's hanging from the stairway with a zip tie.
This is a good pic to see how chunky this bud is.

Thanks for the support along the way.
Couldn't have done it without you all.
Don't want to count the weeks this girl flowered.
Started some time in Sept, I think.
18-20 weeks in total, minimum, for this girl.
She has a lot of bugs, leaves look a bit ugly now.
But the trichomes on top make up for it.
