The Hexapus's Garden

~Thai Stick (the old one)~

The Thai Stick died with a whimper a couple weeks ago now, I just haven't had time to update, plus there just wasn't much to update about it. I picked her a little early because she was revegging a little and the main buds had quite a greenish leafy look to them. Not without a little stickiness and frost though. The lower buds had revegged less and were stickier. The smell is pretty much exactly the same as Mama Thai. Overall- she was kind of a shrivelled up mess by the end.

Typical buds after stripping the dead leaves.

Dried- I got a jar full of scraggly-ass, somewhat crystally looking buds off of her. It's going to need a good cure.
 
Congrats WC... My Malawi has been under 11/13 for about 35 days and has a similar look. Any noticeable differences between the MammThai and Thai stick worth noting? I still think you should drop your Panama. Mine smells like nothing I've ever smelled before..

Again, great job

Edit... I lied about 35 days. Sitting at 28 days of 11/13

:jawdropper: Amazing looking bush here!

Maybe consider tossing that last harvest into a concentrate run?! That was the best idea I had for my last misfortune and boy that was the right choice!! She sure gets me high as BHO!!!!! :lot-o-toke:

Good to see you big guy!!

:passitleft:
 
Hey weas,
Congrats on the harvest, looks like a similar situation to mine - had to pull a plant I thought was the most promising since it just stalled out late flower (after going hermie) and looked like maybe a reveg. Cut it early and had some stickiness, some seeds... wasn't even going to bother with it but I thought it'd be a good demo for drying. Here's the one harvest, not much, airy bud... another 8o of trim though.

It occurs to me that I like having a few problems. Not sure what I would do if everything was perfect... Go lay down and die? ( of boredom? )

Thanks for the compliments ;). I'm on 11/13 also.
The Mama Thai and Thai Stick obviously are both completely Thai and in many ways seem like the exact same strain but selected for different traits. Different branches of the same family. Mama Thai flowers much bigger and faster. The goal with the Thai Stick would be to grow the same stuff that made everyone love the Thai sticks. This strain has/is the same genetics and hopefully the smoke will make me say 'wow' and make it worth the challenges so far of growing it. Not sure what I got out of this harvest though. Maybe I'll go try a sample now. Not expecting much.

I put my one Panama seed in the sprouter. Along with six other strains for the hexapus replacements.

- Peyote Purple
- Violetta
- Mendocino x Purple Kush
- Dark Angel
- 'Dr Seedsman'
- 'Bling'
 
I remember in England around 25 years ago that we used to get Thai Stick if we were lucky. Thin branches of sticky bud and if you got a seed it was a bonus. I didn't grow back then but I used to smoke it and buy it, that stuff always sold well :D :ganjamon:

Pigeons, I may end up doing just that with the Thai Stick. I smoked a little tonight and it didn't seem to have a very strong effect.
I've been keeping the sativa and indica trim separate and making batches of bubble hash with it. Problem is I have a fairly big lump of the sativa hash here already and I'm pretty slow going through it! I freaks me out a bit. It has since first time I made it near the beginning of this journal, on which occasion I smoked a bunch of it and broke a bunch of my stuff while racing around. Like a wild horse, I know the sativa hash can be tamed. I just have to work at it and continue to build up my tolerance as much as possible. It's hard but I know that somebody has to do this. What else is there to do in the middle of the night...

Halibut I don't know what happened with the Thai Stick really. I've had a few sativas do that reveg thing late in flowering. This one after 15 weeks of flowering too, Rather sneaky of it.
But- the unstoppable force that is my grow rumbles ever onward.

I'm pretty sure the stuff I have here won't sell well, but if I see any likely customers in the neighbourhood I'll be happy to put it on a stick and sell it to them if they've got cash.
 
I think it might, and was pondering that as I wrote the last post. And indica hash I can handle better than indica bud. So I'll have to make a blend and test it out.
I'll probably go back to just mixing all trimmings together. The sativa hash is a novelty but it's hard for me to handle under 'normal' conditions just because of the busy-ness factor. It might be perfect under different conditions- like - not surrounded by a lot of different chores for example, but those conditions can be hard to come by around here.
 
The same here, 2 yrs ago I made some bubble from Cotton Candy and Trainwreck, both sativa hybrids... and I smoked it maybe twice, cause it's so racy, that I get too high to do anything... I'm thinking I would enjoy it in a good company, but it's hard to convince Italians to smoke anything else but spliffs, so I keep giving it away :laughtwo:

I actually have l a Mexican bud, which I love because it's very warm and provides great kick, but is not speedy, and THC levels are lower, which makes for great daytime smoke.
 
Thanks Conradino. Yeah I'm still working on finding that perfect strain. Malawi is wonderful but it takes me working up a lot of tolerance to be able to smoke much of it and not be vibrating my mind loose. Usually I only have very small puffs of it cause it's so strong. I'd like to have some nice mild/mellow (?) sativa that I can smoke lots of without getting too jittery feeling.

Note- All seven seeds sprouted and were planted after 24 hours (the Mendo purple barely cracked but I think it's good to go). The Panama I will grow out large as a regular plant with clones. The six other ones are all reasonably well matched as indica strains and should be easier to manage under the hex than the menagerie I have now. I favoured the purpley strains for this batch.
I'm not sure what route I'm going with the six new ones, or quite what to plant them in. Stuck in solo cups of perlite for now. I'm thinking I'll probably turn them all into hempy plants. This time I'll veg them properly for a month or more - aiming to grow them at least twice as big as the current hex plants, in the same size (one gallon) containers.
 
Why such small pots, WC? If it's a matter of floor space, why not use 3 gallon Sterlite trash bins like I do? They are cheap and easy to move around, since they have built-in handles. And their footprint is about the same as a gallon pot. You can drill a hempy hole 2" from the bottom, and still convert them back to regular pots later with more holes in the bottom. When I went back to regular drainage, I didn't need to fill the hempy hole.

And two of them fit in a 3-1/2 gallon plastic storage bin, which acts as a catch for the overflow. My ladies are growing very well, with all that root space. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
I'm open to suggestions. As it is now- the hexapus plants I have now in one gallon pots aren't much bigger than the ones I grew in solo cups - and they're in eight times as much medium. The plants are undersized for the pots right now and I'm sure I can push the size much further in a dtw setup.
I realize hempy isn't usually dtw, but I thought I would set them up somewhat like that, under the hex with enough auto-waterings that they're getting plenty of runoff each time.
I'll go check out your setup.
 
I'd like to see the puss set up with the 1G (medium of your choice). I'd do coco because I think it's easier to set up. Maybe grodan cubes in a couple with just a bit of coco on top for fungus reasons. Grow to 5 nodes, top, heal, flip. Just my $0.02. I think that recipe might up the harvest numbers just a bit but still get the benefit of rolling multi varieties. After all, popping seed variety is what it's all about. No??
 
~ Thai Stick ~

@ 25 days flowering. Still hanging on to her health.

Thai Stick with Malawi and Mama Thai behind. Mama Thai is getting very close to harvest.
 
Spitz thanks for those great suggestions. I like them a lot. I'll do something very close to that then. Maybe 3 hempy and 3 coco, or something like that. For the future I also have a fair sized pot of recycled rockwool cubes from failed clones which I've been bleaching and saving.
 
Thanks BB. You too. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do differently with this one than the last failed plant. All I can think to do is stay very light with the feedings and avoid N as much as possible. This seems like a nice plant. If I can keep it happy so it doesn't crap out on me halfway through flowering then maybe it will be nice smoke. Lots to learn...
