Transplanted from 9 liter pot to 25 liter basket. And there was no growth progress this week. Probably pausing to recover from transplant shock. Muay Thai Super Auto stayed at the same 40 cm height as last week.
From product description, Muay Thai life cycle is supposed to be at 16 weeks. And I have seed feed back on she taking so long to finishe. So, I was comfortable with the changing the container. On changing, there were actually bundle of long root circling the bottom. I am sure she can use more soil. And I do hope that she recover soon.
However, in 12/12 schedule, she may not drag on as much. And I don’t think over growing the environment will be a problem. Digressing a little bit, 12/12 is a poor way to grow auto.
Feeding – Thai sativa are generally not a heavy feeder. And at 1/3rd strength, the Muay Thai did not seemed to positively responded to it. Moreover, the new soil was also freshly loaded with new worm casting. So, she won’t need much for the next few weeks.
At the end of the week, I fed her some yogurt.
And I plan to give her some molasses in the middle of next week just to get the microbes going faster.
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
