I've only managed to find a handful of pure Sativa's out and about in the world. It's amazing when you do because you really recognize it. It's almost a different experience if you're so used to smoking hybrids or indicas.

Haha, I'm on board with that! I'll likely do the lions share as cobs, as well.
Yeah, that's gonna suck...
Just a leafy, foxtail nightmare.
(don't mind me, just spoiled by hybrids)
At least, the leafs seem to detach easily enough.
That sounds like a good way to speed things along. I'm afraid I'd lose too much hacking into her with scissors. I was really hoping for some serious leaf-drop in the coming weeks.
Grabbed a handful yesterday. She forms a W shape across the back corner. I've had to hack-off close to a foot from the center two tops. WAY too close to the light, and the heat makes them elongate. The two off to the sides have much better structure.
Just past 20 weeks at a constant 11/13. Trich development has picked up in the last couple weeks, finally.

Sup dave.. looks good in here. Love the cob sticks
Tuned in and reading thru. You helped me thru some deficiencies a while back.
I notice you were using turface/oil dri. How did you like it? I'll read thru to see if i can get some of my other questions answered.. but:
What size screen did you run it over before use? bug screen or 1/8"?
I use oil dri for my cacti with great results. Considering using a soilless mix based on pine bark and calcined DE for my next run.

I need a strong indica in my garden so I can better appreciate the differences. All I've enjoyed is pure sats and sativa hybrids mostly made up of haze and skunk. Its be nice to see the differences first hand.
Always nice to know there is some pure sats still to be found. Never too late for a renaissance!!
She looks amazing for 20 weeks you've done a really good job with her if you want her to Yellow quickly cut off the nutrients now and she would deplete the nutrients in the media very fast. I only recommend that if you've gotten happy with the bud formation so far. Be careful how much you let her yellow though it can proceed to the buds and calyxes making for worse end product.
. I know all about the elongation from too much light and excessive temps. This happened on Thai stick E when the buds got directly under the hotspot. Easily shot out up to 8 inches from the tips with gangly growth. Very unappealing.
I like about 30-36 inch cushion for my Thai under 1200w mh. They always do better when given more distance rather than being up close.
Glad to have helped you with your plants. Hope they continue to do well. Did you watch the vids in my signature multiple times yet?
Glad your tuned in and are enjoying the thread.
I'm using a 3 part mix of calcined d.e., biochar, and montmorillinote clay calcined equal parts. I use that to make up 15% Of my soil volume. Works amazing at extending time between watering and reducing turgudity loss when plants are under water stress(low moisture). Keeps roots healthier n fuzzier longer under low moisture conditions.
Steer clear of pinebark unless you want to water constantly and have less healthy plants. It's hard to source partially composted pinebark let alone in the right particle size. at least that was the way 5 yrs ago. Even if you get a good source, it doesn't absorb or release moisture as well as spm(peat). I'd have plants in partially composted pb mixes that had very visibly wet/moist conditions but the plants were under water stress from lack of water. it just couldn't hold or release the water it did manage to hold for shit.
Get yourself some fafards high porosity mixes instead. They come with biofungicides included in many mixes now. You'll forget all bout pinebark when you run your hands through that stuff.
Back to the clays, biochar. no screening. I used to do that all the time but I never saw a lick of difference between screening out the fines and leaving in. Plus screening that stuff makes a HUGE mess and needs to be done outdoors and requires respiratory equipment. No thanks. I don't have time for that shit anymore.
Well now I've got to go out n try this then. Lol

Some leaf porn of the Durban Thai hybrid before bed. Up to 11 leaflets on this particular plant. Love the look of these leaves.

Durban x Thai Highflyer Day 45 from seed.
Durban x Thai Highflyer Day 45 from seed.
I know it's only been 15 days since we last updated on this lady but I just had to share her tonight with you all. She's grown alot over the last two weeks under 11/13 even though she'd been restricted to a .5 gallon container at best. Now she and her sisters just got transplanted into 1 gallon containers. Up can in two weeks to 3 gallon.
I call her a she because all 5 of them including her are females but no surprise as it was nanner pollen from DPE and DPF that knocked up TSA resulting in this small group of plants. Fingers crossed they take after the TSA and don't throw nanners later on.
I'm in love with this lady. The clear winner of genetic lottery by looks. She has the most symmetrical lateral branching of any plant I've ever grown. Well developed and growing fast without need of pinching, topping or any other methods to induce lateral branching.
She also has newer leaves with 13 leaflets!! Not even tsa got to 13 nor the durbans. What other surprises will this hybrid produce?? Stay tuned everyone.

Durba Poison I Update 2 weeks flower.
Durba Poison I Update 2 weeks flower.
I moved DPI into the flower room around two weeks ago and she is doing wonderful. She's got a nice wide even canopy with around twenty tops. I topped her alot when under my t5's. She has held her form well but stretched out some giving better light penetration to lower fan leaves. I may spread her canopy open more soon though.
She was in a 1 gallon containers for around a month but just got upped to 2.5 to be flowered out in. I'll see if she needs another up can later on after 2 weeks.
After growing the Thai n seeing new roots growing 100+ days into flower I'll just keep upcanning as long as needed into flower with the DP and any other ladies.
I'm hoping for a bumper crop from her. I'll only pollinate a small section of her later with my fave dp male. I can't possibly let all those lovely tops get covered in seeds.
Speaking of seeds..We have confirmed healthy afropip Durban poison seeds reproduced with the pairing of DPC(m)x DPD(f). I've collected about 30 so far from her after hanging up to dry. And they look amazing. Very deep rich dark hues with elegant tiger striping patterns all over. It's a must see.
None of the pale brown, tan or lightly colored seeds with minimal striping. These seeds went all out. Just gorgeous compared to any other seeds I've had.
I'll try to get good pics if the seeds in near future. For now some DPI.

cob extracts. mmmmmmmmmmm lick the plate.
dave, you are going to have some awesome smoke.
"Ya you definitely won't find any pure sativas on the street and I'd imagine a hard time In dispensaries. Ask for a pure Sat and most people wouldn't know what you are even asking for. Got to take it into your own hands as you said. "
they spit on you down here is se usa for even offering them pure sats. " what kind of bullshit......".

I'm from the same region and you nailed it. People would likely go as far as saying your trying to give em reggies. They're so clueless.
Just more for me.
I can't wait to enjoy these ladies later on. Should be excellent.
GN thai stick G Harvest 179 days.
GN thai stick G Harvest 179 days.
She's finally come down. After 179 days flowering. That's 25.5 weeks. I harvested her in two sessions spread a few days apart. I hate having a huge amount of buds to deseed and trim all at once. Easier on me to break it down into smaller sessions over a few days.
I spent over 2 hours trimming and deseeding Dp-d last night . Worth it for all the seeds I collected but this update is bout Tsg.
The buds are loaded with seeds on Tsg. I'll be spending quite awhile deseeding her. It's easier to shake her and get a downfall of seeds than on DPD. The carpet floor is already littered with seeds from just one quick shake.
That huge bud on her I posted about before ending up being longer than 2 feet!! Check out the pic below of her. Can't wait to try n cob that big thing when I'm done with plucking the seeds out. I'm gonna be picking up on alot of ears of corn tonight.

Hi Dave its funny but cobbing the seeded bud does not effect the viability of the seeds in the cob. I like finding random seeds in the cobs. Most of the plants I am currently growing got knocked up and have lots of seeds. I will get what I can out, the rest will be in the cobs.

I've found a few healthy looking seeds before in a cob. Good to know they'll still grow.
It seems easier to remove seeds from cobs than buds too. Another advantage of cobbing.
What did you knock your girls up with? Was it intentional?
I have a plant I love its a Malawi cross. Mulanji x Thai Tanic, Thai Tanic was from Flying Dutchman a Thai/Skunk cross. Great high but only a couple of hours long.
The seeds from the cross grow huge colas and the high is amazing African happy high.
I got a male from the cross and pollinated a female from the same cross for more seeds.
But I left the male in my grow area while I was away for 2 weeks and it knocked up the Mozambique, Malawi Gold and Swazi plants so I am not unhappy as such but I would have liked a more controlled single bud of each pollination.
But the plants are reflowering which will add a bit of bulk and the seeds are maturing well.
The cobs i used to get in Africa all had seeds in some more than others.
If you cob the buds in a looser type of cob, sweat it as usual for say 3 weeks when you dry the cob at the end. the brocken up buds are powdery and the seeds come away easily.
Plus you have a large amount of dry powdery plant matter that has cured resins all over it.
I would take the larger pieces for eating or smoking and the bulk of the powder and pieces.
Either make oil or hash.
This is what I will do with my seeded plants. The high from such matured resins is just as good if not better than seedless when it is cured first IMO.

I love the high from seeded plants. Its more euphoric
Wow!...
Half a year to flower (well just about)...
You must be a bit stressed with all that work to do now, but it must be done.....of course, it'll be worth it.
Remember that the Thai has been used to growing along the banks of the Mekong river for many generations, so it's a bit out of sorts growing in the conditions that you have provided for it, but looks to have finished well enough to make you happy, which is nice.
Well done Dave!
