This garden is beautiful! Thanks for the update and story you made me laugh with your clones and dogs! Nice shinny healthy fur coat! Gotta remember where they come from... I also had Paradise birds this summer but they were nothing compare to yours! Flowers are bursting from everywhere and the leaves looks thick and huge!! Your dogs don't eat the frogs? I have a cat it's the 3rd wild rabbit (to my knowledge) he caught and he eats them!!! Rabbits are almost of his size!

@sativaman, you my have a mountain lion in disguise 😀😀😀😀😀 I guest that my dogs had bad experiences with toads. And they can’t distinguish between frogs and toads. They are poor hunters. I do have birds and squirrels in my yard that these guys never caught.

@sailormoonflowers, yeah. For my dry season, I use 10% peatmoss. I buy from local shop as 50 liters sack. And it goes a very long way. I also prefer acid peat moss not the type with pH adjusted. It depends on your soil formula and growing method.

Peat moss is a big help for me with water retention just below surface, the imported stuff Dutch/Belgian is expensive though..👍

@GYOweed, actually is chopped coconut husk. Untreated and likely contaminated with beetle egg. I use 1/3 soil. 1/3!earth worm casting. And 1/3 coconut husk. Also added microbes in soil - Metarjizium and Beauvaria ti take care of centipedes and bugs. And a dash of granular humic acid. That is my soil for rainy season. For dry season, i add a bit if peat moss.

How nice it all looks in the wet season med. Nice vibrant colours. Your bird of paradise seems to have a bit of a different flower to our ones. Much more vibrant. Our ones don't last long, and have like a beak shaped flower. You inspired me to add a few garden pics to my next report. Beautiful dogs mate. I love dogs

Have you ever tried to cover the soil when raining? I once did a coco plant outdoor and to keep the rain away I've put a saucer on top of the container. To do that I've just cut a line from a side of a soft plastic saucer to a hole in the center to allow space for the trunk.

@sativaman, i hear you. I was thinking of an umbrella/tentlike arrangement. The idea is to reduce water into the large clay pots. Drainage is still good. I just want to cut off maybe 90% of water. And only during heavy rain. Most of the time the pot would remain as it is. Any reduction would be an improvement. It rains much heavier here this year. I suspect that we will get about 2 meters of warm rain from Aug to Oct. There will be 3 meters of total rain for the entire year. And cannabis can’t breath during such bouts anyway. And there are strains with goo “irrigation tolerance”. I am growing in low land Bangkok and need these strains. Traditionally, ganja is grown in hill dry hill area of the country. I am supposed to grow only on dry season. 😀😀😀😀😀 Anyway, we do try. Talking about the topic got me thinking on how to fix things. And I appreciate this very much.. Thanks again.

@Med_in_Tropic, I only grow in fabric container and saucer-cover was put on top of soil only when it was raining. I know you have the knowledge and experience but just as a kind reminder, we both know the importance of oxygen: a plastic bag around the pot all the time will suffocate the roots and cause rot. I would feel very bad if my advice is misinterpreted!!

Thanks @sativaman,great tip. Appreciate it. I think i ned to put a thik trash bag over the big clay containers. These are from 60 to 100 liters.. Another thing is that plants in 25 liter baskets are actually okay. The baskets and fern pots with side holes drain d breath well enough. Key is to not ket water collect. And i was focussing in drainage. Totally forgat that I don’t have to let water in. Thanks again. 🙏🙏🙏.

Great job mate gee I wish @fastbuds would tell us what each of the FFT strains really are I have had the whole set sitting here in my seed collection for a long time just waiting until they drop the strain names ...................................

@Grey_Wolf, best things about FFT’s is that they ate from Fastbuds brand. You’ll get a lot of conversations started about Fastbuds photoperiod.

Med_in_Tropiccommented3 years ago

Hi @Grey_Wolf, FFT 10 is crazy strong. She was difficult for me to handle. You should do her easily. FFT7 is nice. These FFT’s are not exactly consistent. There are big variations between phenotypes.

Grey_Wolfcommented3 years ago

@Med_in_Tropic, I am very much over the Bruce banner after growing a few pretty average versions of it but a nice NL would be nice I might do a mass planting of some of them into a 2x1 m garden bed .. Maybe 8 plants?? which ones would you recommend from the FFT range mate ?

Med_in_Tropiccommented3 years ago

Hi @sativaman, i got a heated press. And i tried a few batches with it. I found handling the goo to be difficult. And my yield was way low. Git a couple of grams out of an ounce of bids. Played with moisture and all and i still don’t like it. At the end of the day, my people don’t really smoke. They prefer oil. So i need to dilute my oil and make it easy for my friends to dose. It is like a table spoon before bed. This is their counting unit. Early in, o was stupid enough that tell a friend to dose with half g a day. She Knocked herself out and stayed in bed for two days straight. Another guy was told to take 1 cc. And he took a table spoon. Also stayed in bed for a few days. I realized that i am such a nerd and i need to adjust my counting units. And dilute infused oil works best for my crowd. I don’t like canna vodka either. Big headache afterwards.

sativamancommented3 years ago

@Med_in_Tropic, Have you ever done some tincture??

Med_in_Tropiccommented3 years ago

Actualiy @sativaman, dodgy cola’s were my best. Problem is that color looks off too ght before drying. And i was apprehensive of mold. So i won’t cure these. The will go straight to decarb and o”then infuse with oil.

Microwave soil! Bleached clones!! Mate you are taking it to another level 👍

Med_in_Tropiccommented3 years ago

@Shooey, sanitising things is the basic that I ignored. Five days in, all trimmed branches seemed to be surviving even the tiny little twigs. So, this would be a more reliable way to produce clone with less waste. Honestly, I don't have the space to grow them all.

😀😀😀😀 @Shooey, its only about sterilizing things. Mushroom farmers steam everything. Most of the time you would not need to disinfect. Weeds have their natural immunity. And i was too lazy until i realized that i don’t have a batch of plants ready now for April harvest. And thisis my backup batch My new hatch of seeds just arrived from Delicious Seeds. Hope they would work.

They are gonna be big ones mate! I didn't know fast buds did photos. Have you got those big monitor lizards in the yard again?? 🦎

Med_in_Tropiccommented3 years ago

Hi @Shooey, sure will post pic. Will let you know. It is a stimulant/pain killer/muscle relaxant. Not much high. The seeds are like pistils. One flower has over a hundred tiny seeds. However, they grow very slowly in the beginning. Takes about two months before trasplanting into a small pot. But they grow into large trees.

@Med_in_Tropic, I hadn’t heard of kratom before! I just looked it up. Pretty amazing plant and very controversial,,, I would be interested to see some pics now and then and see how it goes mate👍

Med_in_Tropiccommented3 years ago

Hi @Shooey, it was a field trial for Fastbuds. I don’t believe that they will market this. Really is too bad. The big lizard remember me well. He runs and dives in the water when i ever am near. 😀😀😀😀😀 Before he was used to people giving gim the distance. 😐😀😀😀😀 It is really wet this season. And Thailand finally legalized kratom. So, i an rediscovering kratom growing. Wet marsh land climate is goid for kratom.
