1 of the 3 WoS Wild Thailand Ryder (WTa) sprouted from it's Root Riot pod. Planted it and dropped 2 more WTa into the unpopped pods. Just planted the sprout into a TLO blend of soil that's been cooking for the last 3 months. Also added clover seeds on the top.
While doing yard work came across some earth worms, so I added them to the potted plant. They're already hard at work fighting soil compact-ness. So far the only thing I've given the plant is RO'd water and she's looking like a happy lil gal. So far TLO is working.
May have used a little more clover seed than I should have. Had to mow it's lawn! I've never seen a plant so happy getting nothing but water. Might throw a Veg tea at it next week. Threw some Big Foot Gold mycorrhizae on her. Love watching what that stuff does to her.
This week I decided to give the girl a little Veg blend Tea from Cultured Biologix. Also gave her a foliage feed with Bloom Khaos from Nectar for the Gods a few days later. Other than that it's just RO'd water.
Looks like Wild Thai is starting her journey into womanhood. Let the Sativa stretch begin! Celebrated with a bloom tea from Biologix. Going to be putting in some flowering spikes this weekend using a recipe in the book where I found the soil recipe. But so far so good, still amazed at the minimal feeding required with Living Soil! Side note shouldn't the nutrient section of the diary be week specific?
Top leaves started dropping like the gal was thirsty early in the week, but they didn't bounce back after a couple waterings. After some extensive research I decided to give it a lil diluted early flower mix off the Greek regiment from Oregon's Only line of Nectar for the Gods food. I also added a lil FF Big Bloom, as well as some fish fertilizer from a company called Alaska. I've used Oregon's only in other regular soil and hydro grows with fantastic results. Since they are not a sodium based feed I figured it would be all right for the living soil, but still confirmed it with them. I'm hoping she's just a lil P/K hungry from moving to the flowering stage.
Nitrogen Toxicity! Had to pull the clover out of the planter. Fun fact, Clover pulls Nitrogen out of the air and injects it into the soil. Haven't put mulch on it yet wanted to see if she bounced back without it. Plus side her buds are coming in nice!
Haven't killed her yet. Kola's are coming in nicely. Been light on nuits as she's still recovering from the N poisoning. If I go back to photos I would totally run clover with my mother plant. Oh well live n learn.
Did a run of some more flowering tea, other than that just RO'd and Ph'd water. Found out mulch is good for pulling excess Nitrogen from the soil. Wasn't sure what to use so I did a lil defoliation and then chopped up those leaves and spread across the top. Time to test the "no-till" part of living soil. Might pick up some hay and throw that in too.
The end is nigh. I'll say it (the infamous) "guessing about 2 weeks out" LoL.
The trichomes are just starting to turn hazy, with no amber in sight.
Even though it's late in the game, I've adjusted the pH of the water and tea from 6 to 6.3
Soooo many screw ups (er learning experiences) on this grow.
This will be the last week, Trichomes are getting hazy and some ambers are starting to show.
I'm adding some pics of this Wild Thai's younger sister, she's 2 to 3 weeks younger, and grown in the exact same conditions as the other. But what a difference! Was able to catch before the N poisoning could happen. Cooler temps are bringing out her colors.
I've grown the photo version of this strain, and the auto's. This was my first time using my own organic soil. Wild Thailand has always been a favorite in this house. The bud is sweet smelling and tasting great smoke. Plus Wild Thai seems to have an effect on the libido. My wife coined it "the looooove bud".
Did a pre-chop trim the day before chopping her. I don't weigh wet, I'll update with a dry weight next week. Learned a bunch this run. What I learned from my mistakes I applied to another run of Wild Thailand and that one is coming along B-E-A-utifully!
@KingSalomonsWeed,
Thanks for the kind words! I've gotten well versed in the micro universe that's happening in the soil studying TLO. The worms are helping too in a big way!
