Lao Village Thailand/ Purple rock candy

gcubebuddy · May 23, 2021

I am growing 2 strains this summer. Thailand Lao Village and purple rock candy. I planted the direct seeds in the ground for the purple rock candy, which is an indica. And for the Lao village, they are clones from an indoor mother I started from seeds.

Looking good so far.

That Lao Village is going to take a long time. I hope you're in a climate where it can finish outdoors. I don't, which is why I grow those long flowering sativas indoors which can be a challenge.

Good luck with your grow.

Ya I live in Oklahoma City. So the spring / summer has just started. I actually started the Lao village indoors around about October 2020. So they have had some time to grow. However they didn’t seem to be doing all that well in the tent. I do know if it was because it was not enough light, or if it was the heat being generated from the light. I also have some African landrace strains I want to try as well but will wait till I have some success with the current grow I have going.

You're growing my kind of stuff. :blsmoke:

I grew some Ethiopian last year that turned out well. Made a ton of seeds. It was a preservation run. Growing a Malawi x Thai cross right now indoors.

I wish you the best but you're pushing it outdoors with that Lao Village. Even in Oklahoma. I've seen the crazy weather down there in the last few years.

Good luck

:peace:

you might have started her at the perfect time. i noticed my first outdoor grow here in Oklahoma if you want to get away with those equatorial sativas you gotta give em the right jumpstart at the right time so they can catch that unbearable Okie heat and they'll shoot up. I grew some Power plant out here and it took a full 13 weeks but i got some absolute dank from it! Wish i would've started right as the sun started in summer so she wouldn't have been stunted! gonna run some landrace for hash this year and im looking for june and on for those long sativas, but the ugly wanna spring we have here screws with I'm looking forward to your success fellow okie!

Well what's the weather like there end of November and early December? That's when those plants will be done flowering. I don't even try growing strains like that outdoors and that's what I like to grow. Instead I struggle inside with a 4x4 tent and a mammoth sativa that won't stop growing. But I'm in the PNW and there is no way it would work out. But I did overwinter an Ethiopian outdoors in an unheated greenhouse that is starting to grow again nicely.

I'd also be worried about some of those storms you guys get down there knocking them over because they're going to get big. I sure hope @gcubebuddy can go all the way to the end outdoors with the Lao. It will be some fine weed that you'll only get if you grow it yourself. I'll definitely be peeking into this thread. In fact I just clicked the watch button so I won't miss anything.

good question that basically exposed what I was trying to say. You stop getting good sativa weather right around the middle of October beginning of November. By December if it hasnt snowed it will rain or be unbearably cold and not conductive to keeping a sativa let alone any Cann outside. but if you greenhouse it and keep light on it you could keep it overwinter it like you said as sometimes the weather system's just pick up and leave here. sometimes you have tornados and storms all week then its 90 degrees and like 78% Rh. its mad weird sometimes but i love the strong growing season march-October and the plants eat that light UP. I love that landrace just as much as the next man myself and I couldn't waste the seed myself but I'm getting some Malawi ready once i get the space. time to struggle bus it in a 2x4 lol

I hope it turns out good with a great yeald. thats why though i am growing the Purple rock Candy Indica as well. that way if it doesnt turn out, i still have plants in action growing. I put tomato cages around all the Lao village ones as i knew they were going to grow big. its still the rainy season here in OKC so i am thinking once june and july hit, its really going to take off. i am thinking that for some of these long term sativas, would actually be a great canadate for cross breeding with a auto flower plant - for as much as i dont like growing those... (since you cant take clones from it) or atleast cross it with a sativa strain with a shorter veg / flower cycle. how about Alaskan thunder Fuck... how long is the flowering for that strain? i would imaging it would be a lot shorter due to shorter summers up north. any ideas? i am also starting new Lao village clones as well to give away ;-)

maybe what i should do is grow a couple of malawi plants as well, and get some pollen from one and then make seeds from the Lao / malawi cross. then cross that with a shorter term growing plant. i want to make a super sativa that produces well, has a strong resistance to mites / bugs and mold, and has a great smoke and high.

also another question... when i was growing the mother in the tent, it wasnt doing as well as it is now... could this be due to the soil mixture i was using? i am assuming this strain consumes alot of minerals from the soil right? i was using a mix of coco core with fox potting soil. mostly a coco core mix though....

gcubebuddy · May 25, 2021

also something i was going to mention, the soil in my garden bed is mostly red clay. i hope that it does not effect the acidity / ph in the wrong way. for clay soil is there any amendments i should add? i know for roses and tomatos i usually add old coffee grounds to add a bit of acidity to the soil... i dont know if it works as well with cannabis...

gcubebuddy · May 25, 2021

Here is the clones I am starting off of the Lao. I took from cuttings from the outdoors plants.

Here is a current pic of the plants I took just now.

Those landrace plants hate being fed for whatever reason in my experience. I do half feedings with landrace until I can ensure i don't burn em. They're real finicky and act fickle af be careful with soild that have nutes in em already. I got a lot of friends running landrace indoors and if they do they go straight coco

gcubebuddy · May 25, 2021

Wow! Ok cool thanks for the heads up. I am also sprouting 4Malawi, and 4 Kwazulu seeds. I am hoping to get both male and female so I can Pollenate some of the Thai plants. And then from there start doing crosses of those to get a solid African / Thai strain. Then probably cross with a shorter flower period plant lol

Started following this exciting thread

Good luck!

These are new pics from today. I included pics of my full garden to, so people can see what I am companion planting with them. Tomatoes, roses, herbs and such. (Lots of sage, dill, and various other herbs)
