WW Thai log

Been almost told to do a log so here goes. If you aren't aware of this thread, you should read that out first so you are up to speed.
http://boards.cannabis.com/advanced-...ds-flower.html

Now been a little more than a week in it's special environment. Dropped to 13 hours from 18 of light and began a daily decrease of one minute. If I forget a day, that actually is very similar to real life for it.

OM had mentioned to me somewhere that temperatures may be a factor. Actually my local temps fall very closely to reality....just a tiny bit cooler this month than should be now that I researched it.

No flower show yet, don't expect for about a week if it acts like the other times, it is sidebranching faster than lengthening. No vertical growth inhibitor (VGI). Only have it under a 400 hps, feel like it needs more light, but I am used to a 1000w hps.

That reminds me, I made a mistake when I bought that power supply, some of these new digitals will do multiple wattages and do both mh and hps. Got to save for one. I see a use for all of it's functions. They may not last as long though.

Me too :cool:

along for the ride

This should be good.:thumbsup:

LOL! :D


I just showed the wife this thread.


She musta came or something!? :wtf: Doubled over dropped to her knee,.... "who has Thai?"






I take it by her response,.... I need to make efforts to acquire this strain.

Another interesting experiment! I love it. :thumbsup:
Emmie is pulling up a chair...

Looks very interesting. I ll be checkin it out.:)

For those interested, these seeds were purchased here:

Just fyi, actually 2 photos so you can see the sativa leaves. Never have I had a plant that kept such skinny sultry leaves. Those larger leaves span more than a large man's hand.

Great thread WW, il be watching and wish you the greenest:thumbsup:



Let er rip bro:weedpoke:




:rasta:

I love hazy hybrids with lots of SE Asian genetics. I'll be glued.

Pulling up a seat to watch. :thumbsup:

Fertilized today........Repotted from 1 gal to 3 gal pot, again OF.......noted that is starting to show flower nodes, no flowers yet.

That plant is sexy as hell man, if ya have time maybe a pic of her in the new dress:lookat:

Hey WW,

I'm in too.

Looking forward to see how this one does!

I went to Thailand in 1978, we bought 2,000 thai sticks for $100, yup $0.05 a piece. Hands down the best weed I've ever smoked, it was pretty much like trippin' and lasted a very long time. When I saw the packaging for Amnesia Haze (Soma) that said "Taste like Thai sticks, and keeps you high for a long time," I thought I gotta try this! So I have 2 really nice ones in veg that I'll be flipping in a week or two. I put mine in #7 pro-can pots that hold 25-30 liters of soilless mix that I'm hoping work out right for managing height to something reasonable (a bit over 68" in my case, or about 2 meters). At 24" now, this should give me room for it to triple in height over the 13 week flower period..

I'll definitely be watchin' yours!

Peace, Farmer Rich

Well I did just post 2 days ago, but I guess a closeup is what you want?

That is the very top ... aren't those spurs something else? I forget their real name.

Those are wicked looking spurs on some very happy plants! :greenthumb:

Hey there WW...I've been lurking around just watching...I see it's definitely a Sativa, so if you don't mind, I'm gonna take a short nap while it grows out a little more....wishing you and Rusty success! I think you'll be done first tho since he's just popping beans....maybe...LOL! The recliner calls to me...ummm thai weed<---me dreamin!;)

I'm not sure of the real name either, but I do certainly see a flower in there too!

Just above your first knuckle on your pinky finger,.... that's a flower for sure!!!! :hippy:


Well, "pre" flower anyway.

looks like you might be in for a long ride with all the sat genes in that, think I'll tag along:thumbsup:

Yes, it will take a long, long time for this to come to fruition, I am expecting a 3-6 month time in flower....that is just a guess by the way, just a guess.

Yep she is a female, I have tried to flower her before, she is about a year old, have just kept cloning her to keep a tolerable sized plant as a mother.

Not much going on. Growing more sideways than at the tip. Looking like I should see some flowers in a week or so and then will give VGI dose.

Man, that stem and leaf structure looks soo much like my ISS. When I kicked the lights on it I was Certain it wouldn't bud, but it's got some nice colas going now.

I've got high hopes that this experiment works out and you get some sweet buds. :stoned:

What is ISS?

Bringing a new ballast into the picture on this, a Galaxy 1000, but it can run anything or reduce higher wattage to lower. For now we will be using a 1000 hortilux dimmed to 400.

Island Sweet Skunk. Heavy Sativa :jointsmile:

It's gonna take a long time for this one to finish I think, but it's starting to look pretty good already! :D


How's the progression of the light cycle doing? Are you at 12/12 yet?

I remember reading awhile back on overgrow about trying to replicate the lighting etc for different landrace sativas, have you taken into consideration the spectrum in the region vs the spectrum of the light you are using? If I recall correctly the poster of the article was using a metal halide in the morning 1/3rd of the light cycle and an hps in the afternoon 2/3rds of the cycle. Just food for thought...

Yes I considered that. That is just going too far to be feasible or reasonable in my situation if that is the criteria.

Another week drags by, not much change except rapid growth, no flowers yet. Additionally I figured I wanted some more feminine pheromes in there and put in 3 going into flower plants. I want to see how they react to the light reducing gradually. They already had some flowers on entry.

It is very cold and I am having trouble with keeping it warm enough right now for the entire garden. Turned the lamp up to 600 watts to get some more heat in there which helped. Still using room fan to circulate. I used my propane space heater for awhile, always cautious of monoxide poisoning for me, and some extra CO2 for the girls.

By doing the LST, it seems the main stem is not growing much the the side growth is huge.

Man WW your plants look great man, so healthy and lacy beautifully green leaves. I wondered if a person just grew them out like any other breed would it just take a long time to flower or just not flower at all? And the mh to hps everyday would drive a person crazy id think.


Great thread man, keep er green:weedpoke:



:rasta:

Well I did run into someone on another forum and they say their thai runs 98-112 days to finish.....long way to go.

Wow i gotta say your dedicated my friend, because im thinking that my WW will take at least 12 or 14 weeks. Now its been crossed, but outside last year non of mine finished at a 15% cloudy tric's. But i had taken a lot early because my p ripped me off, so i wasn't sure when they would hit again. But was great for my pain and day time smoke, but id really like to finish this one iv started a couple weeks ago till i see some major brown sugar looking tric's.


Great log:rasta:

lookin good! that sounds like a reasonable expected length of time for an asian breed. Take your time with them and I'm sure you'll have a happy ending :P

Ya, I am thinking I will time this from when I first see flowers. It is acting different this time, somehow, can't put my finger on it, but it is different.

That is like 16 weeks, so with no flowers now at about a month, I don't see it happening. Before, it definitely started to flower right at 21 days, and I went full 16 and got no more than the preflowers...no budding, just phenomenal branching.....Have that now. Sides are growing faster than the main stem. This could get very interesting. LOL

She reminds me of a gal in 9th grade, we called her "String-bean Jean" :D

Some thoughts. The plant seems to be acting like it still is in vegetative mode, but getting ready to flower. Interestingly, the plants I brought in from 18/6 start to flower faster than they did just going to 12/12...I think the gradual decrease in light is the reason.

The Thai is getting really big. I want to give VGI, but do not want to mess with the plant's normal path to flowering. Side growth is almost unmanageable at this point. Trying my hardest not to have to top/trim this time, as I already know that does not help. Using 5L of water every 3 days right now.

Has been very cold and have supplement heated when possible with propane space heater.

So the picture.....about 4 feet....as you can see, I keep having to get farther away.

Month in flower room yesterday. Should need repotting soon, starting to use a lot of water. I gave a pinch or two of dry bat guano and mixed it on soil surface to hold a little longer on pot change. Turning into flat bush.

Put in a ten gallon pot from the 3 gallon. Big difference in size. Plant getting huge now. Researching growth inhibitors now. Was turned on to some old PDF's regarding original species, landraces, original breeds, characteristics, and such. It is password protected and cannot even copy and paste. But it mentions that Thai has a tendency to throw a nanner here and there, but also watch for hermaphroditic symptomology if it throws more than a few, otherwise pick them off. Seems we figured out the light timing correctly.

So picture today.

Although usually an issue, I noticed in the Worldwide Strain Guide PDF it doesn't mention the native soil being overly acidic, nor does it mention needing to lower ph at all. I'm going to treat mine like any other sativa dominate, and see what happens. (the softer-easier approach, lol)

I don't have the room nor equipment to dedicate a sliding light schedule to, so they'll be going from 16/8 to 12/12.

Looking pretty good so far though. :thumbsup:
