revolution: go man go! thank you for the compliments too! i've been carefully arranging and assembling everything since Xmas, before which i was just kind doing my time learning the basics.
as far as the HOG coming out, i can't wait! i think you're talking about the guys at Ace/CBG, but if it's someone else, even better! more Oax genetics to play with. but yeah, please feel free so share pics here! i am an info junkie, and HOG is on my list!
revolution, i think i know to whom you refer; but his name and seed brand name can be revealed when it's right. but does his name rhyme with "bratva?" arrow reference ftw!
well, i always have eyes bigger than my stomach when it comes to growing. if i got a pack of ANYONE'S legit Highland Oaxaca right now, i would just grow them, attempting to fit even more babies in my never-enough tents.
with both Eskobar's Oaxacan and the El Dorado, the buds are surprisingly dense, and the leaves are a bit wider. is this a normal trait in Highland varieties? i don't expect every latin american or any other landrace sativa to just have one set of characteristics. it's not all jungle down there, i guess. the El D is likely due to a bit of dutch hybridization, but people here i trust say it's legit. i guess i feel like a heel for using nirvana. but, as i said, if the smoke is right, fuck it.
everything's humming along, the panama is tempting me especially, she's extra frosty. i think it's the green pheno, anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

now, i'm not at all in a rush with these, but i just want to know when to mark the flower start date (a lesson i of course made myself learn the hard way). do these count as pre flowers on my Thai Stick plants?

side question: does anyone know of a decent simple photo editing app for mac or iPad? i'm not talking photoshop, but something easy to circle buds and write text for picture clarity. thank you!
Dave, THANK YOU! i get so spun out flitting from one diagnostic to the next, i admit i get frustrated. having watched those videos (thank you again) it does sound like iron, and possibly calcium deficiency.
but this was kinda what i was talking about with the thais being more high maintenance. or maybe "differently abled" as most of the other stuff i've grown has been run of the mill as far as problems. in other words, the thais were grown (by a rookie) with the same controls as my other plants (water, ph, light, medium, etc.), but unique problems arise.
i am, by no means, a very experienced grower. i have 5-6 harvests under my belt, two of them intentional duds used to learn the ins and outs. anyway, i'm nowhere your level of proficiency, Dave, so anything other than "easy for chuckleheads to grow" provides challenges for me. which is cool, as i get to learn new stuff first hand, and become a better grower. and hopefully (with some help) get exceptional weed to show off!
also, i kinda figured the new growth was faking me out. i'm in no rush, just trying not to screw up my flower period timeframe.
calyxes4life, thank you for checking out my grow. hopefully i can help.
