Yeah NP. I figured I'd uselessly posted enough already, it's about your grow afterall.

These are Reeferman's Santa Marta CG. Both were female one has a lot more nodes than the other but the other one has been producing bigger frostier nugs. They are 7 weeks 12/12 and still have a ways to go. I pollinated them with a male of the hawiian sativa in hopes it will bring the flowering down a little. This is exactly what I wanted though colombian is supposed to look like this, it's about quality and experimenting for me.



The 2 plants at the bottom were flowered a couple days after this pic. The other pics were from today and the stakes are 4 1/2 feet I think.

Here's the hawaiian for comparison.

Nice CGs Pipe.....i always wondered about Reefs gear..ive heard alota good things..thne alota bad things.............i might try a fw of his sativas out..there all on sale at hemp depot.

There definately is a mixed feeling on reeferman but his sativas have always seemed to be popular. Besides, there isn't a whole lot of options to find sativas anyways. Personally, I don't care too much about his personal business I am only concerned with the end product. I have seen all the stuff HD has and there does seem to be some good deals- 100$ for 20 seeds, these were even cheaper @ the attitude.

now that does bring back some memories of the old school sativa. happen to have any younging pics? would liek to see how they looked around 5 weeks from sprouting if possible.

heres a couple pics from yesterday






while it does look like Faders CG when small, it doesnt have much similar to your pics above Pipe. which is why i hoped you had a pic or 2 of it early on i can compare too. at any rate, its looking very very good. nice symetrical growth with now mutations, which should be on course with it being as old as it is. Even if this is a Hybrid of some sort, it would be a very very early cross.
but imo, unless something large gives itself up, this is still appearing to be what i believe it is.

Those first pics are about 5 weeks old, the other 2 are clones from them.

I also have grown the WOS CG like Fader. Here's some pics of mine. She didn't makeit all the way through flowering...there's a reason I use stakes now





(colombian in the very back)

Both stretched a lot when flowered but the WOS flowered much quicker. I have heard that they are dutch varities just named to sell and all the colombian pics I see have much tthinner leaves and longer flowering times more like the reeferman version.

ya, my understanding is the orig CG as noted earlier, is nearly always a 16 - 18week flower up to 22, but that is under all MN (Mother Nature). IM thinking it maybe able to be shortened a bit if in a controlled grow enviroment, but im merely speculating on that from my current limited knowledge base. i maybe completely off base. but with that said, i wouldnt think you could get any of them any shorter than say a 12wk to 14wk flower time.

the very first pic you posted, does look similar to sprout up there in leaf shape, tooth shape, size, count ect..

i think this will be a good measure of your genetics, as well as your patience
good luck on what could be a flowering marathon

me 2. My patience is good. was married to a severe bi polar woman for 8 yrs. shes still alive, lol so my patience are dandy. lol if the genetics are as good as my patience, i should be golden (pun intended. lol)

Im happy to say its not sure yet. i think those are pistil formation. well after confirmation below, they are stipules, not pistils. my bad.

Girl? I see nothing yet. What are you seeing?

you dont see those pistils coming out of the crotch of the leaf/main stem in the 2nd to last pic?

the bottom pic, you can see them forming and starting to pull away from the main stalk.

Those are on both sexes, still have some time before sex can be determined.

Good upclose pic for confirmation.



ok, was not aware of that, but they seemingly look to be pistils. guess im just eager to see what it is. lol

Reeferman was among the best when many breeders who many here believe to be good or great were still working their paper routes or riding their bicycles to little league practice.

Reef is a true pro while many popular and beloved breeders are schmoes.

ok, I was under the impression those were the Pistils. Ive been slightly mis informed then.

So then, Stipules are just a typical formation on any plant, not gender specific then. bummer.

no pistils may be 'good' news in a way, if you were seeing pistils so quickly, it would cast doubt on being a dominant equatorial sativa

yes i agree.

i need to get myself more familar with the process, but being away for work thru the week and no lappy for when im gone, has put a big wrench in my learning curve as of late.
