Purple Thai

Spring 2025

8 regular seeds, AutoPot watering system, Kind X2V2 lights, custom organic soil. Goals for this grow; 1.5-2 lbs, harvest pollen, seeds, flower, maximize and partial harvest for terpenes, remaining harvest for THC production, cross pollinate with Sour Diesel pollen collected two years previously. Will harvest Purple Thai seeds and my genetic experiment. Will need minimum of two females, can handle up to five females.

Day: 148

Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers, Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Jared the tree named “Stuck In The Middle With You”; 160.2 grams, no signs of seeds so the pollen was not viable (harvested 1 ½ years ago and stored in air tight jar in freezer. It’s funny, and I see this with every grow, this was the plant at the start that was most vigorous and looked the best, yet at every grow the early biggest n baddest is not the heaviest nor strongest of the harvest. Total weight for both plants came in at 3/4 lbs, I guess that’s not too bad but is a miss from my goals for this grow. The first tree harvested has been amazing at a 1/2 pound and tested at 26.7% THC, my most potent grow so far. The smoke has been very smooth with a long and very strong high. Sadly no noticeable aroma or flavor other than the usual. Next grow is Raspberry feminized from DC Seeds, starting in October.

Liar by Three Dog Night, I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) by Grand Funk Railroad. Cut down “Stuck In The Middle With You “, heavy amber trichomes on the sugar leaves, maybe about 15%~20% amber trichomes in the flower sites tested. No sign of seeds, left to mature a week longer than usual in hopes of some viable seeds… doubtful though. This was all from yesterday.

gungud10 Work of art man great work

.

. Beautiful plant and great harvest. How’s the smoke if you’ve tested it, does it taste like the old thing?

johnnyg

johnnyg Thanks for the comments. Yes I have tried some, just from the oops that got knocked off at harvest. It’s very strong but as for taste and aroma I guess I’m just old and haven’t noticed anything significant. Once I get testing done I’ll post the strength.

In this past week; set lights to W75, B75, R45 - will set to full veg this coming week, feed worm tea the other night and as always the results are amazing, Wild Thing finally shed its seed shell, it is only showing one cotyledon which might explain its difficulty shedding its shell.

Three more popped since last week, looking at 7 out of the 8 I had originally hoped for. I can handle up to five females in the ten. One runt still has to shuck its shell, looking close. Deployed AC humidifier, amazing as I had no idea this kind of stuff was out there. Guess it’s been a while since I looked. Right Place Wrong Time by Dr. John, Gold On the Ceiling by The Black Keys.

A fifth popped, happy for a fifth tree. I’ve been checking out the AC Infinity 6” fan with controller, super cool and works great at automating temperature control. I’ll be adding another for intake and also adding the humidifier. This simple setup will do a great job at automating what I was trying to do manually. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

cannawubdub

cannawubdub I would space those pots out a little bit more , the way they are in there so tightly packed it’s gonna stay wet for to long let it dry out a little faster add a small fan too if you can!

Day: 14

Two seeds planted as backups, looks like I’ll be lucky to have 6 plants… not optimal but it is what it is. I believe the 4 that didn’t make it were because they dried out too much while I was gone, that’s on me and not the seeds. Installed new 6” exhaust system as the old 4” wasn’t able to keep up with the new light. In This Place by Robin Trower, Dream On by Aerosmith.
