Outline Research and Planning for 2020
Reality Check
KumoaniNI seeds are going to take a long time to acclimatise to my latitude and persistent overcast skies. I’ll keep the few hundred seeds from my breeding grow 2019, but I will no longer grow them.
My current Jamaican Pearl clones will grow out to harvest. I will stop cultivating/cloning this plant in 2020.
JamkoNI (Kumaoni - Jamaican Pearl cross seeds) is worth persevering with. Early Pearl is part of the genetics and JamkoNI has produced some big dense buds. I’m going to use this plant in 2020. I have a few hundred good quality seeds and will start new breeding grow with the aim of back-crossing the Sativa strain and generating a new cross with Ata Tundra.
<>Ata Tundra is a pure Indica F1 hybrid strain from Alaska, which exhibits fantastic hardiness and resistance to frosts due to its acclimatisation to local conditions. finishes in just 45 days [indoors] and before the end of September outdoors in the northern hemisphere in 6-8 weeks.<>
I’ve researched and nearly dismissed it. Hardly anyone has a good word for this strain but everyone agrees that Ata Tundra produces solid buds with a high THC level. Almost no one managed to get the quick flowering timeline.
Using Anchorage for the daylight times and 7th October for the harvest date, I back-tracked 56 days and got 19th August for the start of the flowering date.
On that day Anchorage will have 15.23hrs of daylight and that light level will trigger the flowering cycle.
The North of Ireland has 15.23hrs of daylight on the 8th August and an 8-week harvest date 3rd October.
I can work with that timeline.
Propagate and veg from mid-June.
Harvest 1st October
January to June, I’ll use my grow tents to experiment with breeding, cross-breeding and finish growing out the clones.
That’s my outline plan for 2020.
I might need a shovel of luck and some hot manure from my friend @James68 LOL
