I think I will just do a separate grow log for it.....I think I will call it TP, for thai/poker.....LOL. No this is not an indoor species. I trashed the Mom, just cannot continue to justify the space for such a plant. Nostalgia will have to take a back seat. Actually the first two leaves were pretty short, but only one day old. I will try and remember to get a photo for ya Rusty. Yes, this is so exciting.
Flipping plant is sick again, yellowing that is advancing up the entire plant, curling, canoeing, just a little bit of everything. I stopped any additives 3 weeks ago. Consumption of water had skyrocketed. Frankly I was not sure what to do. So... I had a talk with myself and asked what would I advise someone else. I came up with flush.
Now, this is no easy task. I am disabled, the plant is in a 25 gallon pot in the very back of the grow area, I would have to completely empty the room to get the plant out to flush. So I had a kiddie pool I use for other stuff taking it easy in the storage tent, and incorporated it into the plan. Unfortunately, I think it is now a fixture as I can only push the pot around and that is difficult.
The plant still has a month or so to go, Monday makes 80 days in flower and estimates were from 96 -118 days. To me this means the plant still needs N and all the other basic nutes, that I have now flushed out. This is why I hate flushing. So in a fit of fear *lol* and keeping my fingers crossed I gave a final gallon with 15 ml of glucose/sucrose mixture, 1 ml molasses, and 1 tsp (God forgive me) Miracle Grow lawn and garden food. (It was the only fert I had around with N)
The plant was obviously locked out. Initially the runoff was clear down to a very low 5.0. As it started to change and rise to 5.5 I stopped flushing, assuming I have gotten the worst of the salts flushed.
My pH testing method is a drop test, so not accurate, but it does show a trend. Actually the water was not really discolored and I doubt it was off very far.

Couldn't get the pic downloaded fast enough so here it is. Sick Thai
HUBBA HUBBA!!! Looks good enough for me, lol. I think you're doing an excellent job. I would have killed it by now. Keep up the good work :greenthumb:
Wow CanCom functions ... for now... IN all this time I have flushed and just watered. Plant is not recovering, nor deterioriating. ....
WW......thank you for this grow log.....I have watched the whole time.....just the learning curve for you and all of us watching is huge.
I have two landrace's going......they are 60 days in flower and just starting to show pistals....it's brutal to watch....since the plants right next to them are done....
good luck
Hey WW,
How many days are you into flower now?
Peace, Farmer Rich
Well thanks. To the best of my unstoned memory, I am about 85 days of showing flowers. Still almost no trichomes. Those there are clear. At 110 days she gets killed regardless I am fed up with this. Waste of money, time, and space.
Sure makes you appreciate the quick finishing strains. (Patience my ass...I'm gonna kill something...)
Size of trichomes doesn't necessarily relate to effects of the buzz. My old Swazi Skunk (sativa dominate) had teeny-tiny trich's, but packed a whallop.
Good job on taking it this far though. :thumbsup:
Well, today brings 92 days in flower and just a quick check on trichome color got my attention real quick and woke me right up. Seems I have some showing clear, some showing cloudy (most of them) and a few amber.
Today makes 92 days, 16 weeks one day of flowering.
A photo and golly gee, it even looks like a maturing plant should.Attachment 275275
Only a few burned tips with all the stress she has had.
Are they solid buds or kinda airy?
Can't wait to see it trimmed-up nice-n-purdy...:thumbsup:
airy
You know Rusty, considering how this plant has been all it's life the buds are quite compact, but not compared to something like PokerFace.
Trichomes are cloudy and some more amber. Getting close, almost 100 days
Glad you were able to take it this far.
Yeah...PokerFace has a tendency to get a tad...solid. Makes trimming and cleaning a gooey mess, but it's worth the effort.
Well I think in next two days I will harvest. Wife is on vacation and keeping me very busy going here and there.
Thanks to all for the comments and questions and staying on topic.
I harvested all of it yesterday. Buds are light, airy. Slight stickiness and odor, nothing to write home about. Will take a couple weeks at least to cure and get a smoke report for ya.
I am leaving the board here... The atmosphere has changed and I don't care for it any more. Best to ya all.
Noooooooooo :( WW don't leave gosh your one of the mainstays here; so respected and kind and generous with your knowledge. All your posts are a learning experience for me and I'm sure for so many others. I have a notebook jammed full of pearls of wisdom from you and some of the other seasoned growers, and its because of that that our first harvest was a wonderful success and the second looks even better.
This board would be a very much poorer place without you :(
hi I'm new here and live a long way away from you. I enjoyed the grow log immensely, however would'nt have your patience. I got 4 feminised big buds stretching out of their pots (2"- 3") & i've got to get them hidden in my new tent before the wifes mother arrives. This is my first grow, I'd have appreciated reading more of your stuff.
Good luck with the thai
