RSC Highland Thai 3/20

[djav59]

Can be done with care, and proper timing by what I am seeing with these plants.
I tried trellising but they didn't seem to like nor did I.
Although unless you have high ceiling and space indoors something must be done.

RSC Highland Thai Thus far
Pheno#1 has popcorn type buds form although early but it is much later in forming .
#2 Has traditional Thai structure nice resin glands forming (How the hell do I know my 1st real Asian strains)

 

[djav59]

Interesting note of the two plants the one with smaller popcorn like buds has many more pistils and the calyx itself has ridges on top of the ridges is where the resin is forming .

Here is nice bud sorry about photo quality uncertain why fading is occurring pic is clear until I upload to pc.
I like the appearance of this stuff.

As I go up the plant as it is ripening she develops a deeper richer smell and taste.
Smaller inflorescence are like some topical fruit, or candy then it gets richer deeper so far.
I do see how this was used in cooking I think would be great in some nicely polished rice.
I will wait a bit and try.

Shes getting closer branches begin to sag with weight and smell is changing to more carroty .
I will try to get a decent shot of this in sunlight not with this phone cam as lens is scratched but the tricomes are so sparkly like diamond dust.https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=82787&pictureid=2047279

Did you only grow out the clones? Or did you keep those two giant mothers?

Great grow... any hermies or nanners? From what I've read it seems this strain is fairly stable...

 

[djav59]

Mothers are still going and clones catching up Ill post some pics later.
Trying to get new phone so pics will be better.
Yes plant is stable no herms or nanners yet.

 

[smogo420]

Good stuff.

I'm growing a couple, seem to show sex early. Musky citrus smells everywhere! Extremely hardy as well. What is the stretch like post flip? I imagine it's crazy...

 

[smogo420]

I've also got what appears to be 2 phenos' showing - one lankier with thinner, drooping leaves; the other is bushier, stinkier and slightly more compact. Leaves look like yours. Have you sampled them yet?

 

[djav59]

Yes but it doesn't lend itself to quick drying.
Everything about this strain will take time .
Some of the other members have experience with these strains and while skeptical at first I see exactly what they mean now.
Look at their posts as they are more detailed and have had more experience with SE Asian strains.

Looking good!

[djav59]

Thanks ngakpa.
Please do.

Hi djav59 - what was your experience with LST/other training techniques on them? Did they respond well?

I didn't want to top it at all and fucked up my LST... main stem snapped at the 4th node, lost my main cola

Veg it a bit and it should be fine. Its a bummer, but not critical.
