When you get a chance to repot put it in something that has bigger particle sizes (better aeration/ drainage) otherwise they will continue to rot away and grow slow as molasses. Good luck with the grow, it looks like you may need to water them much less because of the drainage issues.


From pics your plant roots are lingering in that black medium that stays waterlogged all day. drainage and aearation.

The choice of strains is top notch, and your choice of growing medium size is perfect, my only small suggestion is the mix ratio of your growing medium brother.

Firstly, thank you for taking part in the thread Mr. Belvedere. I loved watching that show when I was a kid. Brings back memories. Great name.

Anyone is allowed to chime in with advice and criticism in this thread. I welcome the opportunities for discussion, so lets have one shall we?

I dont know what bio-mixx is? I simply take 85% Promix BX and 15% Calcined DE, mix together with some osmocote and go from there. This mix is able to retain enough air porosity to provide an optimal environment for healthy white fuzzy roots to thrive. Did you miss the post of the roots above? Roots dont grow like that in soggy mixes. When I transplant them, I will make sure to post pictures of the rootballs. That should put your worries at ease. Maybe even impress you.


All the pictures of the plants were taken after watering, which is why you may assume Im over-watering due to the media appearing wet. The plants have been receiving 2 oz/60ml of water/feed at each irrigation. Administered by drop irrigation via hand held syringe. Literally dropping drop after drop until I go through 2 oz of water/feed. Im pampering these plants like no others before them. *Ive also filled the tray they're in with a shallow amount of water one day to do a bit of bottom watering.

Ill make a post about my methodology of watering in the future. Thanks for the idea.

Im glad you like my choice of strains. I only wish I had started them long ago. I foolishly would take them out of the freezer, set them out for days to weeks on end intending to plant them. Change my mind, and back they went into the freezer. I did this multiple times. I believe this may have been a key factor in my problems with germination rather than over-watering.

Welcome to the thread Lester Bean. I do agree these plants are looking outstanding. One of my best starts with seedlings in awhile. Thankfully, you all wont have to wait months to see a GN Thai in flower, I hope. I have one lady in flower for 50+ days that is just now budding..

The first plant up out of all the ones I sowed was a DP, with its 3 siblings following along around 3-5 days later. They were the last 3 to come up I believe, so quite a bit of difference in growth rates after two weeks.

Day 1:



Fast foward to Day 10:

Definitely subbed for this one brother, love me some sativa's as well. Can't say I don't have any hybrids in the garden but 8 out of 10 times I reach for some haze or at least a strain with a much more sativa high. Can't wait to see what you pull from these, should be wild

[Dave Coulier]

While not as vigorous as the GN Thai Stick, they're still growing nicely atm. This isn't any race, so Im not worried. I have no intentions of flowering out the seed plants any time soon. I hope to have a rooted clone going into the flower room by 1.5 months post germ. The seedlings in the background are the Thai Stick. Gives you an idea in the difference in vigor.

Muchas gracias SourDank. There truly is nothing better than a Sativa most times of the day. The variety of highs available are unmatched compared to Indicas. Although, I would like something that could knock me out at the end of the night when Im ready for bed.

Im gonna have to bring my A game to do these plants right, so I thought a grow log will help keep me motivated.

I miss having Haze in my garden. Ive got a freezer full of Haze Hybrids waiting for their time(Nevils, Mr Nice SkunkHaze, Sams HazeSkunk, Thunk, and some G13Haze freebie). Thats a journal for another day folks.

I'll grab a seat. got a pack of those gn thai sticks in my vault.

[Hemphrey Bogart]

Grabbin a seat too. Can't wait to see what you end up with after another couple months, DC. Best of luck to you.

HB.

[Gelado`]

Here for the Thais. Good luck!
