Acapulco Gold - Nierika Seed Trust - Grow Journal

Here is a few pictures of what they look like on day 15 of 12/12. Feel free to ask questions and I'll answer them the best I can. I am trying to keep everything simple and easy for this grow. Once there's a pile of seeds I can start paying a bit more attention to details.
A little recap:
So far it is looking like an even 4/4 males and females. I have all the plants labeled 1-8. So by the end, in a perfect world, there will be 4 seeded flower samples each with 4 pollen donors. I should have a decent idea of the respective flowering times of each mother, and then be able to get a little idea of what kind of flower they are able to make.
So far I am regretting throwing them all in the same container. It seems this makes it extra difficult for the lower branches to get any light. Also, it would be nice to be able to spread them out and have a better look at them.
The leaves were yellowing and I realized I had a pretty serious nutrient deficiency in my soil. I added the recommended amount of Alaskan fish fertilizer and that seems to have taken care of everything for now. I also had a pretty nice population of fungus gnats. I just used a light dose of a nematode product called nemaknights in the soil, and hung some regular old fly tape and so far it seems to have stomped them out.

Thanks again for checking this out. The smells on these are way better than I expected. I can't wait to be posting bud pics.

Two of the females and all of the males had hermied. I am sure i stressed them out. I am keeping the two females that were solid. They have small seeds and pretty spindly flowers so far. Hopefully I can baby them along at least until the seeds start darkening up.

Today is day 42 of 12/12. I have been thinking about all the hard work that people have put into this plant in the years past. This aculpulco gold is a gnarly plant. It has definitely lived up to the reputation of a landrace sativa. The smells are good. When I look at the two that are left, I don't think they will turn out like the golden buds from DJ shorts photo vault. But at least there are some new seeds growing. Here are some pics of the flowers.

Just to show how the AG's look next to some of my other stuff, here is a pic of a delicious NL5 clone I threw in with the aculpulco gold. This NL5 is about 4-5 days away from finish, but I will keep it going until the seeds look healthy.

Here they are at 56 days. I decided to cut them because they started dropping seeds. Some flowers (nothing really ended up looking like a bud) were still pushing out new pistols, some were done and starting to brown at the tips. Some were perfect. The two females are very similar. This whole batch of plants were suprisingly similar to each other. Not much for the spicy leather smells I smelled earlier during flower. Now they smell like bright citrus / jackherer terps with a little dill.

After cleaning out the seeds from both plants my fingers got a little sticky. Not much for any resin on these. I'm not quite sure what to think about these. I ended up with 500+ seeds and I took a couple clones. I might try some sensi with the clones. If I do I will update the thread. I am not sure what riu seed policy is, but now I have a few AG seeds that need a good home.
