One of those cool coincidence things.
Nobody ever even says Michoacán, let alone grow them. That's all, Maybe bazar was the wrong word.
Not trying to be misunderstood.
Ahhh Jungian Synchronicity, yes I get that. I could see that being startling. Back in my day that was some of the better grade available. I used to be an importer back then. So where did you get your seed stock?

Carl is the homie
Many of my Mexican seed stock comes from one relative. Some are written on and some are not. Some I traded off, some I couldn't let go.
I was into trading for a while also so had scored a few lines from equal value trades. Oaxaca is my favorite if I had to pick.
The Michoacán I posted here is not a trade or a gift it was a purchase from Snowhigh aka Legendary.
I got these along with Narrow Leaf Afghan x Uzbekistani x Kazakastan , some Panama to search through and a few others that peaked my interest he had offered. He's got some real great stuff.

Your Michoacán for as lovely as it is doesn't look at all like the plants I saw. They were extremely thin bladed leaves. They could easily reach over 10 feet and they didn't have any organized bud structure. They weren't done at any one particular time either. You could harvest, dry and smoke them as you went along. This is the closest picture I could find to illustrate a bit of what I remember.Carl is the homie

The other thing about the Michoacán I loved was the farm I frequented used to dry it by their smoke house. The herb picked up a wonderful smoky taste. It was amazing to smoke for the flavor not just the high.
A friend of mine loved it so much he grew it in his backyard, trellised against his fence. It grew for several years. He'd just trim and dry some and it would keep on growing.
The effect I keep looking for is the clear, ceilingless high. Anyway good luck with your plants.

Mind you that is a pheno I am test running in a tent on 12/12 blasting light into it's small canopy. They aren't supposed to be in there. The structure changes a bit with the plants being exotic, especially when I veg them for a bit to make some notes. In their native place they are not seeing much variance in light and dark cycles. It's why your friend can trellis one on his fence.
The plants in your pic are beautiful.
Try this one. A bit more natural setting.
And an old Oax
I love these plants. Now I am going to put another small cut out. I just saw some monster bonsai thread thing that fired me up pretty good.

They look closer but the top one looks a bit overfed and the bottom one has colors I never saw on any Oaxacan in the field. The Michoacán grew under 11-13 hour/day sun year round. These were hard plants that didn't receive much care. Our husbandry changes their genetic expression. You are doing a good job on some uncommon genetics. Hopefully you will make some seeds to add to your stash
Anyway sorry you edited your other post, the one with the seed pics, it was more colorful.

I agree I'm pretty much killing that top one... I'm just a student to the plants and the hippie haze smugglers that were here before meThey look closer but the top one looks a bit overfed and the bottom one has colors I never saw on any Oaxacan in the field.

Thanks for the compliments. Always upping the stash and I always love to talk strains.
But before I derail the thread. Another two strains I think maybe lost that I personally liked a lot:
1) Master Kush
2) Pre 98 Bubba
There's lots of it around really... But not sure why the one, (master kush) wherever it was coming from was a hit. They were calling it 'dro'. Didn't even matter if the grower was in hydro or not that was dro. Like a wave. Maybe I'm remembering a different one but I'm 98% sure. I was smoking a lot then.
I actually drove 30 minutes to grab some 98 Bubba last week and was sincerely disappointed.
