Sativas are actually easier to grow

Xtsho,
Life has been crazy busy. I bought bridgelux gen 2 led strips so i am almost done building light (11 strips).
The zam x OLT is really good. I was able harvest almost 14oz from 2 plants. A nice get up and go high. The seeds i grew were created from ace seeds by another breeder. But i wanted seeds direct from ace to be sure. I am planning a breeding project with regular bangi haze, panama, and FEM malawi. First attempt at breeding (seeds that is LOL)... so the plan is BH (male) x pan, bh (m) x mal (f), BH x BH, PAN (M) x BH (F), PAN (M) x mal (F), PAN x PAN.

Does it really matter which Male or Female is used in the hybrid?

I have a line on Alien OG kush (fem) so i might throw that one into the pool.

I read the LEB is high in CBG so might put pressure on eyes. Good for glaucoma i think. I am waiting for the killer A5 haze from ace..restock in august and if they ever get Purple Satellite back (Oaxacan).

I may bite off more than i can chew but i tend to really over think the project. No where near your level.. You have some impressive breeding history.

So despite the common myth that sativas are more difficult to grow i think its indicas that are more difficult to grow.

I've got a Lemon Kush (50/50) where every cutting grows roots easily, and it grows like a weed.
I'm chucking them out because I don't have enough space.

I enjoy the no couch lock varieties as i have no sleeping issues. I love the sativas that make you think and enjoy life without comma state. But i have read lots of reports malawi is a cold, overpowering high that lasts a long time. Alcohol not recommended and not a daily high as some may be too psychedelic for some. Sounds good to me.

Might be easier to grow but damn on a power consumption side of things they are pigs. 120 plus days for the one I grew plus veg! Nearly 6 months plant sitting.

They do take some time. Nov seeds popped, jan flip to flower, beginning april harvest. Yup..6 months.. but i don't mind waiting for quality. Malawi is recommended to flip at 15 days from seed. I think clones may be a better option with recommendation to flip 7 days after clones rooted.

Old timer haze is even longer..too long for me. 14-20 weeks flowering.
