A Garden Of Goodies

Beautiful stuff! Glad to see you getting your garden on too. I'll have to come down for your next rock moving party. I'm looking forward to watching your Muay Thai and seeing the differences between this one and the one you had last year.

Thanks man, for sure, this Muay Thai is perhaps slightly different than last year. I'll have to reread the old thread and look closely at the pics. The smell has a different nuance to it -- last year very skunk type aroma early, became sweet incense in late flower. I'm currently getting a sweet aroma and better trichomes, last year the resin was more "interior". That's what I've noticed so far, we'll see how the buds compare later, I'll try and copy in a couple old pics when I have time, and compare the development.

I have 2 more Thai beans, and I do think the strain is worthy of preservation. Not sure I'll get pollen soon enough to dust a branch of this one but it looks like I'm getting 2 for 2 on my Dragon males, so there's gonna be some hybridization of the queen and g14 if nothing else :yay:
 
I'm looking at older pics and trying to spot differences, it's harder than I thought. With the octopot style, the morphology of the plant and its appearance may be different. I tend to think the leaves were both wider fingers and/or more oval shape last year.

Bud structure seems similar, but this year the calyxes are more outwardly appearing. Looks better to my eye. I'm at day 64 today so it seems I'm getting some pistils changing color quite a bit earlier now, that's the other big difference. The older bud pic is closer to day 85.

While it is possible that some blackberry nanners have pollinated MT already (there's a few, and I have a couple mature seeds on the Blackberry ), I doubt it is widespread. The buds are still building mass anyways.

The plant should be done around when g14 and NQ finish, and they haven't even started flowering yet (thank goodness, please grow bigger). Somehow I thought I was later than day 64. She went through a wormhole when the gnats went savage on her, who knows what time she thinks it is ...

Here's a few more outdoor notes. This is NQ:

I don't know what's going on here, I have to suspect that ph is locking something out like Fe or Molybdenum or something, lol, I like to read the infirmary stuff but I'm still bad at understanding my own plants. Lol.

Anybody? It's just the new growth tips are light colored and on the top a bit of pinkish color. Leaves are curling down and look janky. I dunno, older leaves look fine. @Eyes on Fire ?

Here's a blackberry bud:

Instead of swelling and packing resin, it's throwing nanners and new clubs of pistils on the end of little new stems. Aesthetically speaking, she's getting uglier on me, and she's getting the axe toot suite. So long she's got a good stone then all is forgiven, but I'm basically unimpressed at this point...
 
Here's dragon [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] , she's gone outside to catch some rays and some uv. I'll take here this weekend. Full cloudy, only a couple amber. Dragons 2 and 3 will continue on for ambering.

Here she is with flash:

well I have had ones that have looked very similar in top discoloration and heavy soil AND the temps were up too which certainly led to having MORE issues within that pot. can you slip the pot inside a white something or cover it with essentially a sun shield? just the pot during the top part of the afternoon,and you can spike the soil as well,early like this is good to aerate is some and let it cool down and dry up.maybe you can pull some soil out(careful of the roots obviously) of the top and fluff it as deep as you can manage..? and imho your doing really well,so PH being off is possible ,sure,yet the PH WILL be off slightly due to not being able to breath well.,but your mixes seem to be balanced out and you have nice plants too,so Id find it hard to believe your soil is outta whack but its the aeration thats outta whack and temps too,whilst in that environment the soil cant work as well as it needs to ..in turn the plant is not responding as it is trying.the squiggly wee things at the top are is say FUUUUK its wet,hot and we cant breath LOL!
 
Ah, thanks @Eyes on Fire this makes a lot of sense to me. Even the Thai seems bothered by the heat with leaves a canoeing. I'll see about shielding the pot as you suggest, and aerate.

One thing I notice you do is add azomite to your brews for trace and micro elements, although your soil's are well balanced. I might just start doing that too.

Thanks for answering the 911 call lol, I usually wait until I'm knee deep before I realize there's a problem.
