Thanks Wolf for let us get carried away LOL! I am very interested. I know the pots that my plants will end up in are 3.854 Gallons, Though it means I will need to buy more. It beats having to worry about running out of seeds (3) left. I have one Northern Lights regular, one Skywalker OG Kush Feminized, and one Silver LA Feminized. So it's important to me to get clones off of my NL #5 and increase their chance of making it into a perpetual grow so I don't run out of seeds. If you could impart that recipe, I would appreciate it and blog it for further reference for not only myself, but for anyone else interested. Thank you.
Jeff, Here's a good amendment to any soil that'll improve your grow. I have done side by sides with this mix. Exact same clones in soil with minerals and same clones in same soil without minerals. Clones in soil with minerals were significantly bigger, frostier, and healthier. I was also feeding fox farms nutes at the time.
DocBud came up with these addatives, so he deserves the credit.
To a 1.5 cubic foot bag of soil add:
5/8 cup agricultural limestone (not dolomite lime)
1/2 cup soft rock phosphate
1/4 cup gypsum
1/2 cup azomite
The basics of it are to add a 6-5-3 ratio of Limestone-Soft rock Phosphate-Gypsum. The azomite is another great addition. These are all minerals that can be added to any soil and will definitely improve most any soil grow.
I went ahead and placed a seed order tonight. Seeing Doc's columbian gold made me want to grow my own, lol. I got 3 columbian gold coming which as supposed to be pure landrace genetics. I also got another landrace called wild thailand or some shit. It sounded insane. I got another one called afghani kush which is a landrace as well. No use screwing around with strains that are "OK". I want something that is unforgettable...
From the breeder: Columbian Gold
World of Seeds Landraces Columbian Gold is an interesting crossback 25/75 indica/sativa landrace from colombia., giving as a result a mixture of pure lines come from santamarta zone. The history dates tell us that this variety was used by Simon Bolivar in his trips around amazonas, in which he interchanges spices and medicinal plants with natives during his conquests. High, vigorous and branched, its smell is sweet and intense, stands out for its flavour and powerful psychedelic effects. Good Columbian Gold seeds are not that easy to find. According to a linguistics book, "The gold in the name of the cannabis originally described the golden hue of the leaves on the plant, but later came to refer both to the high quality of the marijuana and to the especially high price it commanded.” In the sixties, Columbian Gold marijuana fuelled the North America, $40.00 an ounce, not easy to get your hands on. While using, you will enjoy the smooth smoke steam. The effect of Columbian Gold marijuana is strong psychedelic and last for about 3 hours. We also made it easy for you to grow this marijuana strain indoors. The cannabis seeds are resistance to mould and produce the plants with great big long rounded buds. Flowering time is 9-10 weeks. Usually, THC is 19.3%. But if you are an experienced cannabis grower, you may want to increase the THC percent. Many techniques such as this are used by traditional growers to shock or stress the plant during flowering by cutting through the xylem and phloem layers of the stalk. This supposedly would cut off the flow of nutrients to the plant, leaving the stalks and buds a blanched golden colour at harvest time. In the belief that the plants will respond to stress by producing more of the active (THC-containing) resins responsible for the plants' medicinal potency.
Wild Thailand:
World of Seeds Landraces Wild Thailand is a pure landrace coming from the islands of Ko Chang (Thailand). Wild Thailand is one of the varieties with the highest content in THC of the world. It is loved by Thailand croppers who take it to Bangkok affording the hardest law of this country. Wild Thailand is one of the varieties more productive in Thailand, maybe because of being one genetic variant produced by those expert croppers, because of it, it has a relatively short harvesting time. It's smell and flavour will show you Asia, and it's effects will take you to the mysterious temples of Bangkok. Cannabis seeds can be planted indoors (less than 1,5m high), outdoors or in your greenhouse (up to 3m high). The growing time indoors is 1-2 weeks. Then you can enjoy harvesting the aromatic, sugary, aminoacids and cannabinoids marijuana buds for 75-80 days. If you are an outside farmer, these cannabis seeds will surprise you late November. As Wild Thailand came from a country with quite a mild climate, it's cannabis seeds are highly resistant to mushrooms and plague (depending on the plague). Irrigation tolerance is high. Yield is 350gr/m2 indoor and 450-500gr/m2 outdoor.
Afghani Kush:
World of Seeds Landrace Afghan Kush comes from montainous sistem of Hindu Kush (north of Afganistan).Another pure landrace indica Kush, grows wild in the valleys of Armu Darya , river that border with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It’s a variety very stable (almost 100% indica) and probably has been the fruit of successives crossbacks between wild varieties Kush since the diferents races Kush, grow nearly itself in a geographic zone relatively reduced. Powerfull, smells like the best afgani hashis,we can consider a very valuable like a medicinal chemiotypeis. Afghan Kush cannabis seeds are ideal for indoor growing. She produces a heavy yield with 400gr per m2. She also shows excellent performance when grown outdoors with the yield 500-600gr per m2. It won't take more than 3 weeks before the seed turns into compact cannabis plants that can be successfully cloned. When grown indoors, the height of a plant is not more than 1,5m. The outdoor grower will be enchanted with 2 m high giants of pure indica goodness. Afghan Kush cannabis seeds are quite resistant to mushrooms and plague. Flowering period is 6-8 weeks. Outdoor cannabis grower can start harvesting in October. Afghan Kush marijuana produces massive rounded sticky buds of pure indica, THC is 21.6%.
