nice, making seed is the best way to keep genetics for sure, make sure when you collect that pollen to store it in the freezer for later use, looks great so far

Yeah, between circumstances and mistakes it wasn't a great season for me. But the genes are hardy, colorful and vigorous, worth preserving. The story is the same on the fems I grew. Not great results but seeds will give me another try. Thai Stick is great herb with a kick. It also adds adaptability to the line.

Thanks, @BluntStyle! I'm kind of old. Thai Stick was a total classic back in the '70s and '80s so I'm stoked that I have a chance to grow some. I'm wanting to cure the harvest the original way just to screw with my friends that haven't even seen Thai Stick in 30+ years. LOL

@Thejusepas, thank you. I grow vegetables for a living. To be successful from season to season, you need detailed notes. Good luck my friend.

August 29: End of Week 11. Pollen production is good, leaf is still growing well. TS1 gave up the ghost, end of cycle for him. Will add his total herb production into harvest entry. All three remaining males have extremely strong skunk smell.

1 thousand and all the reasons to grow Thai Stick

jhx264commentedweek 134 years ago

Unfortunately, if you had any neighbors growing you could have pollinated their entire crop. Pollen can carry for miles

September 12: End of Week 13. TS3 still going, lots of blooms. TS4 done this week. Leaves falling off now. Just about done.

BowlBrocommentedweek 124 years ago

September 5: End of Week 12. Just about done with this run. TS3 will be first choice as pollen donor because of his purple blooms and the way he fought back from the edge to become the nicest one. TS2 finished his season.

August 9: End of Week 9. Down to only males. Something ate the tiny TS5. TS2 is taking off. TS1, TS3 and TS4 have been topped to delay flowering for the Chocodope.

BowlBrocommentedweek 104 years ago

August 15: End of Week 10. TS2 is much taller and lots of blossoms. Pollinated the Purple Haze with him. Others have been topped, looking decent.

August 2: End of Week 8. Four of five plants are male. I should play the lottery with those odds.

BowlBrocommentedweek 74 years ago

July 25: End of Week 7. All five are much greener, much more vigorous and vegging well. TS1 seems to have started pre-flower today and looks to be my breeding male. I need early and vigorous because this climate has a short season.

BowlBrocommentedweek 64 years ago

July 18: End of Week 6 and they're back on track. Hoping to see a lot of new growth and a lot of height coming now.

BowlBrocommentedweek 54 years ago

End of Week 5. These ladies are way behind schedule, but starting to come back now. Sprouting some sorghum for seed sprout tea to bump the growth rate to catch them up.

BowlBrocommentedweek 44 years ago

End of Week 4. TS2 is now the tallest and will be branching soon. Likely a male plant. Lost momentum because of overwatering due to a rainstorm. Expected them to be taller. Re-potted them into gallon nursery pots to dry them out some. They still look great except too pale and growing slowly.

BowlBrocommentedweek 34 years ago

End of Week 3. TS3, TS4 and TS5 have nutrient burn, with hints of it on the other plants' leaf tips. Always a hazard with natural organic growing because it's just not precise. They do look vigorous with good color, so I flushed them well throughout the day. The soil here on our farm is naturally full of micorizal fungus, so I am hoping root development will help to offset nutrient burn effects. Still happy with progress. TS2 isn't burned yet and TS1 is very minimal, so we're running right at the limits, I think.

BowlBrocommentedweek 25 years ago

End of Week 2. TS1 is over 3 inches with three pairs of leaves showing. Even TS5 is taking off. Because its stem grew in a bent shape, I buried it deeper than it was. The other four were buried at the same depth. Starting Week 3 planted in half-gallon bags.

BowlBrocommentedweek 15 years ago

First week done, 100 percent germ, everybody's happy.
