Sugar Mango Ryder Out Door

@Med_in_Tropic, yayyy!

@MaryJaneUSA, Wine not?

@MaryJaneUSA, findoor is my wife space. <crying> Really, my challenge is to find easy and practical way that most people can follow here. That is to grow outdoor on a porch or balcony. Actually, Sugar Mango Ryder is much too strong for me. I was not able to move for a good while. So I think my next seeds buying will be Indica CBD.

@Med_in_Tropic, or my friend, growing sativa dominant autoflowers may be the easiest option, including what i've just wrote!

No @Tree_Goblin, don't top it. She does get tall with bigger pot. So bend her. This grow was one of my first grow. I have learned a few things since then. You have a tent set up, don't worry about mold. I grow outside with full exposure to disease carrying insects, sun, and rain. If I grow this strain again, I would not use manure. Use earth worm casting instead. I would transplant from 1 liter, 7 liters, to final 20 liters pot. Early on, I would bend her side way. LST her. Then the many side branches will stick up. And you should further LST them with wire to spread them about. I love the effect on Sugar Mango Ryder. Happy growing.

@MaryJaneUSA, Your spirit of brotherhood is much appreciated. Yes, I am struggling. Yield is tiny to experienced growers, but I am ecstatic with my first harvest. Lovely weeds that I am certain about cleanliness. I have started to grow to help a friend with terminal cancer. It was the wrong season to start but I really wanted to help. He passed away. My son has a bleeding this order and I help out with Thai hemophilia group every now and then. It just dawn on me that cannabis can help hemophilia community suffering from joint pain. Some of these families have very limited means. That put me on a path. Method had to be simple and low budge. Strains has to handle pain and swelling. Side issue is that hemophilia patient are all males and some have depression and self-destructive behaviors. Peace weed make sense. Harmonizing with nature and one self is the key. How far am I willing to go? As far as people around me understand. Governments had brain washed people for so long. City people have bad image of ganja. I am starting discreetly and slowly. Later, I need to show that I had done it and how I did it. Knowledge of ganja growing in Thai language is very limited. Comments and supports from my diaries are much more than I expected. I learned much quicker and am more committed. I also picking up weed philosophy and it makes me a better person. Thanks for the drainage comment. This may have killed one of my auto. I think the Thai one died because of bat guano and cow manure. I went crazy with pumice and peat. It did not drain well enough. I have to go back my root on legume leaves mix and coconut husk. This is laziness on my part. Coconut husk need to be mix fresh every time. My soil is full of digestive microbial. Five years ago, we had this long flood. And I use microbial to handle staggering water. The entire yard is ready to digest anything new. Organic fiber is eaten up fairly quickly. So I thought pumice was my answer. Well, back to basic then. My next grow I will change my mix and try the microbial mix. So many types are in plant shops. I need to ask my favorite shop which is good for the purpose. For strains, yes 8 months photoperiod sativa will surely works. Still trying for strains with different effect from (Thai) garden variety. I still have two strains of indica seeds to try. Even with half of it rotted, I still am happy with my initial haul. Another lesson is that weed are so strong these days. I should go for hemp hybrid (sorry, CBD rich). With “CBD rich” strains, it be easier to grow. And with 6 to 8 month cycle, Christmas will be a very happy time. Think I’ll buy 60/40 sativa/indica with CBD next.

@MG2009, I hear you loud and clear. Thanks bro. The point of growing my own is not to smoke the nasties. Lost is gone.

@Philindicus, thanks. Just flushing, will keep monitoring her. I think after two weeks or so it’ll be more certain. And for sure it’ll be a mix of trichome color as she foxtailed. She is already would be much better than the brick weed Tha I could get here.

@Philindicus, this a one is a real positive surprise. She is doing way better that what her data sheet says. May be “irrigation tolerance” in this case means she can tolerate overwatering?

@Philindicus, I am sure of it. Shorter light period add a month or two to growing time to auto’s. So the total time from seed to harvest is nearly the same as photo’s. And yield is much less. The local wisdom is to say that there is no point for auto in sub-tropical region. However, I like sativa high and can’t afford to have 6 foot tree in my yard. Worse, most cannabis around here are two stories tall trees. So small plants yielding 20 g are fine. 20 grams is almost a yearly stock for me. Raining season starts by the end of May but weather can be weird these days. These are my final grow before I have to stop. We will be hitting hot and dry soon. Hot and dry is difficult. After which side way raining would be impractical for cannabis. My growin season really should start in fall.

@MG2009, thanks - really like this one. Only two months left before it get too hot.

@THCaddict, I bought it on e-bay, no brand, about 20 bucks. It's a 100x microscope, works well. Connects to WiFi on the phone too. This is fun! Key word is phone microscope. I got the LED light from eBay, Ali too. Amazon works as well. Your language is already good!

@Med_in_Tropic, I ordered the Carson MM-300 already for 680 baht. The shop is in Thailand, and it expands from 60-120.

@THCaddict, it's way better than a magnifying glass for looking at Buddha statues!

@THCaddict, this is what I was talking about soaking in water. Soak in water, change it every day for 5-7 days. Chlorophyll dissolves in water, THC doesn’t dissolve in water. Once you soak it, all the green comes out, and the weed turns into an ugly black color. The dry weight will decrease because it’s being consumed. Even though it doesn’t dissolve in water, it still floats out and disappears. That’s why the weed turns black, because the green comes out. The smell is almost gone, but you have to be a bit careful when smoking because it’s stronger. One reason for using this method is that you don’t have to dry it for anyone to see.

@Med_in_Tropic, I just learned about this method from you!

@THCaddict, I've learned a lot from you!

@Philindicus, thanks bro. It’s all her. She is super easy to grow. And I think she is extending her roots to the soil. So there are two pH zones. Neutral pH in the pot. Probably because pumice keep buffering adjustment efforts. The soil is acidic. So different nutrients are absorbed differently in each zone.
