2015 on the Chernozem - Panama, Zamaldelica, Thai, Nepal Jam, Sweet Tooth, Stardawg
- Thread starter yoss33
- Start date
Just like 4 years ago when I grew a feminized Full Moon plant at the same place, the Thai's stem stays green instead of turning into a woody tree trunk. Indicas usually have this kind of green trunk that is very slow to increase in diameter, to the point of the big branches getting almost as thick as the main stem. Just like 4 years ago, the dying surface of this green stem attracts white mold.
Here's the trunk of Panama #4
And the classic trunk of Zam #1

Panama #4 and Zamaldelica #1
Today I found Zam #1 bent too much forward (towards the camera) after a rainy day and winds. It is now discretely tied to a stick that holds it back. I love Zamaldelica's strong branches, its main stem can easily fall but its almost-horizontal branches never break.
Panama #4
And a hungry intruder on it.

Thanks for chiming in, wingdings 
Pragma, I think the Stardawg is bushing out just perfectly
The Sweet Tooth plant is casting shadow on it in the afternoon and if I cut Stardawg's top only, it will have disadvantage competing for the light. So the 3 plants will be left as they are, I'll just cut some inner branches between them.
We've had mixed weather the last week. Some strong winds and I had to tie the Zamaldelica to a second stick because she bent, in another direction this time. I really like Zamaldelica's structure, it's great for big plants outdoors - medium internodes, strong attachment of branches to the main stem, branches go quite horizontally and the plant quickly occupies large area. But the main stem is weakly attached to the ground (weak roots?) and a Zamaldelica is guaranteed to fall if left to become big enough. I'd contrast this weakness to Haze, which has its main stem extremely flexible and well attached to the ground (no way to break or unplug it), but its branches easily break from the main stem, at least with the Dutch/Sams Haze. A Haze/Zamaldelica hybrid might combine the strenghts producing the perfect genes for big trees
Meanwhile, the Full Moon doesn't have great structure - weak both at the ground and branches attachment to the main stem, extremely lanky and columnar with branches competing with each other. But it has these big leaves with double and tripple serration...
...and an ouzing perfume smell that attracts clouds of small flies to its tops.

Hi there, people! And thanks for the interest! I take photos regularly, but lately don't seem to find the time to upload them here and keep the thread regularly updated.
Cannabiso, thanks for the compliment! Growing cannabis outdoors is easy, at least in our part of the map. It requires very few things (soil+water+sun) done well in order to be very happy. I have enough time and I'm giving my plants all the time and attention they require, yet I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible, not pushing too much.
A short update:
All the plants are doing fine. I removed many lower/inner small branches from the big plants. Maybe as much as half of Panama #4's vegetation was removed, because it has so dense structure that no light can penetrate 20 cm of vegetation. Great for indoors, but counter-productive for big plants outdoors.
Some photos will follow shortly...

Thanks, man!
Here are the photos, taken a few days ago.
Thai
This plant is perhaps the lankiest plant I've grown from known seeds. It would be horrible to manage indoors. In one of my previous posts I complained about the weak structure of this plant (weak attachment of branches to main stem). But its only the first 3-4 sets of branches (seen on the last photo) having the weak structure - attached perpendicularly to the main stem. The first branches started to grow indoors under the lamp, without wind, and the later grew outdoors right from their start. This seems to make the difference and I've seen this to some degree in all plants that I transplant outdoors.
So, Thai's structure is fine and strong, it's just the indoor environment causing it to grow weak branches.

The plants in the bushes follow.
Panama #5
This plant is making nice progress despite the short interval of direct sunlight and unprepared soil.
Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze (OJD cut)
This plant is making nice progress too. Now that its top stretches above the surrounding bush, it will receive more direct light. It has about 10 liters of worm castings mixed in the soil around its root ball, which seems to keep even a hungry hybrid nicely green.

Nepal Jam, Sweet Tooth #3 and Stardawg
The NepJam and Stardawg plants have about 30% of their lower and inner vegetation removed. I hope this will speed the development of the tops as they are somewhat falling behind the Sweet Tooth. The Tooth is to the south of them both, so this was expected.

Greetings Yoss,
You have a fine looking garden again this year. But you know that I'm a Thai lover, and I have to say that this is one of the finest specimens that I have ever seen you grow:
Carry on with all the great growing, picture taking, and documentation of the interesting strains that you grow.
Best,
ThaiBliss
