Foxtails half your finger length... wow!
If foxtails on a Sativa means done, I'm looking at the end of my Thai Stick grow too. Hope the seeds are mature.

Hmmmm... ok I think that stoned comment about foxtails could be rewritten to try and have it make actual sense, but let's just say that I think I know what I mean, I think, even if nobody else fully understands it, including me.
What?
Wait!
Who...?
Oh... damn.... ok.
Where?
Shit!
Bowl?!?!
Ahhh....
Ok... better now.

Well- hmmmm... Foxtails. In late flowering, when I see the buds growing little buds out of them, and those little buds start looking very mature, and then get greener and less sticky, and then start stretching out into little foxtail palm tree things, I figure the bud is just going to start returning into a leafy bunch of fluffy mistletoe type stuff. At least that's what's happened with the Mama Thai when I left it long, and the Malawi as well to some extent. Ok not so much the Malawi, but definitely the Mama Thai and MT/TS. The Thai Stick plant is a very similar plant to the Mama Thai, in almost all ways.
I know I'm always saying this same stuff, but the last few weeks, or pretty much the whole summer, but especially the last few weeks, I've been too busy to put out fires in the grow and have been paying the price. A bunch of ph issues going on and plants are yellowing quite badly now. Worst hit is the Cheese, followed by the six hexapus plants. The Mama Thai is doing the best, though she's starting to get pretty yellow now too.
~THAI STICK~
The Thai Stick continues to look more and more beat up. She's not as trashed looking as PotChimp's one (sorry Chimpy), but still yellowing up and dropping leaves as she has been all of flowering. And she just always looks - beat up, like she was stuffed in a suitcase for a few days- or like she's been ridden hard and put away wet, as the cowboys say.
Where are we at here... Looks like another month or so to go by the calendar. Will keep limping onwards...

~MAMA THAI~
This is the one who had the curly leaf problem all throughout veg. Once put into flowering though she turned right around and is probably the nicest plant in the grow right now. Hopefully I can rescue her from myself. I'm smoking some of her last incarnation right now actually. Down to the last few buds...
It was extremely hot here a few days ago and my fan obviously couldn't keep up, as I got some burning of the plants that were directly underneath the bulbs. You can see it on the right-hand side of the Mama Thai.

Hmm, I lost my leafs in week 6 of flower on GG#4, I thought it was 70 day flower. Plant just told me differently, it 56 day flower. I'd follow my plants lead and time according. Having issues going into flower will stunt yield but it looks to want water only from here on out.

If I were to judge by the photos and ignore you whining words, I might say "Damn baby... that's my kinda limpin!"

Hmmmm... Geez.
Well I'll take the compliment but -no whining here, mate. When I said that I didn't mean my whole grow. I just meant the Thai Stick. I have a vision in my head of her walking up a long long slope, at the usual snail's pace, limping because it's been three months now and she's a little tired. What's over the ridge nobody knows. I've been trying too flower out a Thai stick for the last year. It's been a long journey.
No my grow makes me all happy and shit right now, and I'm just glad I've pulled it off as well as I have this last summer, with no major disasters. I don't feel limp about that- more like patting myself on the back with one hand and smoking a victory smoke with the other.
I have a few days here now to catch up too. Good times.

I think my Pineapple Chunk is right at the start of telling me a similar story.
She's just so horribly thin and lanky with boated leaves that remind me of some of your earlier posts.
The differences between the strains can be just stunning (both bad and good). I've got an Afgann that's a thick little thing. My normal OGKs fall near the thick Afganns. I grew some Critical+'s that were skinny and lanky like the PC, but didn't suffer any boating.
Yup... stunning. Pain in the ass stunning mostly.

I thought I could push my GG, nope. I've had to learn to read my plant. Even full organic plants start show def's when they show. Good job on plant, it's a down hill ride now.

looks good to me weasel! I still wish i knew what was up with the drooping we both have had lol
a few questions... Sorry if you've answered them before.
How many breeder seeds of that Thai Stick have you grown out?
How do they compare to each other?
Have you grown out any of the seeds you made of the TS?
If so, how do they compare to the breeders and each other?
I notice some of these are f12s or so. I suspect they use the same parents for all their seeds. I'm wondering how their first gen offspring stack up. Looking grand sir!

Spitz this is just the third Thai Stick I've grown. Some seeds didn't sprout, or floundered early on, and a couple plants turned out to be male. So this will be the first harvest assuming we make it that far.
I crossed a male Thai Stick with the Mama Thai, and with a few other strains that were in the room at the time. The MT/TS I harvested yesterday is the the first one I've grown.
So yeah.... I can't really give you much useful info yet, sorry. The MT/TS seems good, and seemed to finish pretty fast. After a little curing we will see how it smokes and whether it's stronger/ different than the Mama Thai.
You'll have to ask me in another year or so.

~ HEXAPUS~
These plants have been fighting against very low ph in the res for pretty much all of flowering. That seems to have mostly stabilized now that I've thrown a couple bubblers into the res. Colours are off, from the light and the camera filter, but in real life everything is quite yellow.
Yellow and a little scraggly though they may be, I am very very happy to have some untopped natural plants in the grow.
Clockwise from rear left-
Lemon Skunk cross, Snow Moon, Golden Tiger, Delicous Candy, Y Griega, Peyote Purple.

~CHEESE~
She's taken the worst of the yellow fever going around. I'm not sure what the issue is, I'm working on a coupe theories. Still growing buds- very sticky and very smelly.
The orange-ish leaves at left are where she got burnt by a hotspot under the bulb last week, during the hot weather.

I've got a fem'd Deep Cheese from my last seed order still. I've been curious about cheeses and want to see how they do in my weird garden. Good to see you can keep them running in the heat.
I've got a small little water manifold with 6 outputs. Winter cool weather is coming. Perhaps hexapus time is nearing....
Is your hexapus drain to waste, or do you re-circ it? I'm considering one with a daily watering cycle but still draining to waste (DTW).

It's drain to waste Tead. I have a drainhole in the floor and it just runs out. Timer is set to water three times a day.
The system is a little weird right now in that I have a few different mediums and different size plants. My timer minimum on-off cycle is one minute. It suits the perlite pots and hempies (sort of) ok but not the coco pots- though it's all a matter of balancing the plant/pot size as well of course- so they can get the right amount of water in one minute from that 1/4" hose. It would be nice if all the little flow control valves on the hexapus worked- but they seem too finicky to be practical so I just leave the lines wide open. I heard your idea about hose clamps - but haven't seen any that small. There are a bunch of other watering variables including pot height from the floor (gravity). Next time around I'll find a better balance with it and the ol jackleg will be limping along better.
The Cheese certainly took everything I could throw at it in the past. I still think it's a tough one - hopefully works out for you.
Conradino has a strain going which he has mentioned a few times as being incredibly heat resistant. I think Bapple is growing it too. I'll dig that info up for you when I get a chance.

Ok the one these two were talking about is called Ultra Dog. Maybe Conradino bred it (?). I don't get too far on google with that name but looks like it may be worth looking into.
Hey Conradino!
You were right she tolerates mad temperatures - she likes the conditions here.
40C is nothing for this strain, SoCal blood is strong with her. In a much hotter summer last year F1 gen got it on
