First time that I bought seeds from Flash Seeds. Communication and shipping was prompt and friendly. Payment was practical and secure. There was no mail tracking but from the communications and reputation, I completely trust Stich @ Flash Seeds.
Again, I am not motivated to buy for mystery freebies. I want what I am willing to pay for. Dealing with Flash Seeds is straight forward and easy.
Good impression from the seeds. Muay Thai is a sativa but seeds were big. Germination was fast and was 100% on four seeds. Roots buds popped in the glass after one night soaking in water with hydrogen peroxide.
I never had much luck with sativa seeds. So, I kept the seeds in the cotton pads until the roots were a little longer. This took 48 hours. And roots were around 10 mm long.
Soil in the cup was 50% worm casting with 50% of my old soil mix. Total composition: 50% worm casting, 25% coconut husk, 15% pumice, and 10% of garden soil.
Then I got into trouble. Three seedlings damped off. And the survivor look week. I kick myself for using old soil instead of starting with sterilized peat moss.
That looks pretty excellent for a 4 week old plant. Whatever you've been doing is incredibly effective, considering the plant type, space, etc. But, as usual, it probably also has something to do with those seeds being "familiar" to your conditions. But yeah, for your sort of naturalized thai/random local stuff, if you basically do what you did so far you'll likely get very good results in general with your local stuff.
@Med_in_Tropic,
Instead of yoghurt, you could try mixing some milk, water and adding some carbs (fruits/flour/starch/sugars) and let it ferment for a few days to make what is sort of like yoghurt.
I've done that with the mulberry stuff and it seems really good, though I can't say for sure.
@@Ssomeguy, thanks - still is a useful information. Sulfur additive is much cheaper than yogurt.
Yogurt goes for the last three weeks of flowering - crazy stinky strong buds.
@Med_in_Tropic,
Random info about possible leaching in areas like yours... "Sulfate sulfur is not readily held by soil particles, except for acid clays, so in most soils it can be leached below the root zone."
Not suggesting anything with that really, but if your plants go dull, lime green/yellowish with lots of rain/water that could be something to consider.
I'm mentioning this coz I've had the contradictory sort of experience with that here, so I checked it out. Our rain is very sulphur-rich and tends to kill fungus, for instance. But, in drought (as we've had the past 6 months) I have to water the plants more (with crappy tap water) causing more leaching/unnecessary additions so I potentially get sulphur issues from that. Your rain is likely not as sulphur rich, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's the opposite for you (better sulphur retention in dry season vs wet season).
*Edit: Thinking about it, it's actually pretty unlikely you'd have sulphur issues if you're using that yoghurt often, so it probably doesn't apply.
@Med_in_Tropic, Thankyou for that info mate I have Family who served for AUS in the Nam war they still travel to Vietnam and thailand every year as they both say they fell i n love with the place a little. Ive never been but would like to one day. Thai won't win any beauty contests but would smash the competiton in a straight up Best "High" type comp
@Grey_Wolf, Thanks mate.
Sgt. Lemon was in US Infantry during the Vietnam War. Somehow this story is stuck in my mind. Could be because this weed smells like lemon. Or could be because Thai boxing champions do smoke weed before getting in the ring. Any way, Thai weed isn’t exactly miss universe kind of weed.

Kudos to your persistence. 22 wks for an auto. Glad this is brain twisting weed you deserve it. Your plant like a lobster may not be pretty but the end product is amazing. Good job 👏🌱👍
An auto, 12 weeks old, on 11 hours light, still vegging out?!?! That is some weird shit med. Like i said before, your yard is a science experiment mate
