11 weeks into flowering greenhouse thai plant

the larger buds are pretty solid. i have them held up by pipe cleaners spanning across to branches on opposite sides of the pot. one cola in the middle is kind of resting on the canopy otherwise it would fall over.

here she is at 13 weeks. starting to show some signs of heat stress. my tent is getting into the 80's now some days. there was a heat wave last week... stopped with nutes last week so we are just straight water now. planning to harvest next week. seeing some amber trichs. lots of cloudy ones now too.

much impressed, i grow with fluoro's so very impressed of this result with thai
haven't yet tried any of these pure sativa's, but results like these draw me closer

Sachen und fracht. Nett. Du versuchen? Hoch? Gut rausch.

They look pretty done to me, even your foxtails have browned hairs... It will probably keep foxtailing for months if you let it keep going.

i am not familiar with the term foxtail but without googling it, i am guessing that is what the offshoots are from the colas. since they look pretty done, is letting them go until next week going to ruin them? i kind of want to leech out more of the nutes even though i was using organic nutes?

If you're seeing amber trichs on a Thai plant then I would say she's ready. Lucky man - she will be some amazing smoke.

i am not sure how to respond to the german post. google translate says:Things and freight. Nice. You try? High? Good noise. thanks for the 'nice' part. i have tried some of the plant that i quick dried a week or so back. i am a light weight when i comes to smoking and 2 hits got me soaring. my son smoked a half a doob with a friend and said he was borderline hallucinating. looking forward to the taste once it is properly cured which is why i chose thai in the first place. loved thai sticks as a kid...

bigby, should i chop her before next week in your opinion?

growone- i am actually just supplementing some 4 ft t5's with the cfl's. the bigger colas are nice and dense though which i had read would not happen using anything other than hps lamps. the tent i have would not work with hps or mh lamps as it is only 4 ft high so i am working with the hand i am dealt.

i'm not sure what GH's genetics are in its Thai, but this does look like Thai
and if you can use cfl's for Thai, that is impressive, probably nothing out there that is tougher to mature indoors than Thai

Last time I did Thai, I ran it 16.5 weeks and it could have gone longer.. I would have like to run it 2 more weeks..

growone - i guess i got lucky. i thought it was going to take a lot longer but then in the last week, it seemed to all come together(plumped up calyxes, some amber trichs and lots of cloudy trichs). i hope it turns out ok though now that you say nothing is tougher to mature since this is my first attempt to grow. beginners luck?

oh and the genetics are supposed to have some loatian mixed in with the thai to help it mature faster so maybe that explains it? i am new at this so i am guessing...

this is a really remarkable feat if true, had to say that since it is the internet
i'm a bit slack jawed that anyone would try a Thai type strain for a first grow
so, very good job and an inspiration to all us cfl growers

maybe i am clueless but my main light source was 4 4 ft t5 lamps(3 2700 k and one 10000 k for the first half of flower and 3 2700 k and one 10000 k with a uv a component for the 2nd half). those are florescents but not cfl's, right? the cfl in the pic is just supplemental light. i didn't know that i should not try a thai strain. glad i did though. thanks for the positive feedback growone. i have pics from this and a schizophrenic journal spread out over rollitup and grasscity forums. i will try to get around to consolidating it to see if this grow was dumb luck.

From experience, sativas tend to look really airy until about the last 2 weeks. Give it a little longer, blast her with light...chop her when they milky. As someone on here said, you gotta be careful with them, they can die on you before they are done.

vegas - she is no longer airy. her buds are weighing the branches down so badly i have them staked in place now. her trichs are mostly milky now, here and there some ambers and clears. stopped feeding her nutes at all a bit more than a week ago and before that i was feeding really light for a week. she still has some dark green leaves(mainly on the colas, the fans are turning light green) even though i was using bloom nutes (gobox - supposed to be organic). i am thinking i am going to chop on her 14 week flower day next week. like tom petty says 'the waiting is the hardest part'...

would be a great grow to document, the t5's aren't considered cfl's, but both cfl's and t5's are fluoro's
14 weeks will be a quite a test of patience, but if you're getting weight like you describe keep checking every day
it will be hard to call when to cut

i am cutting her down wednesday or thursday since i am out of town until then and then out of town again after thursday. as far as the weight goes, i am guesstimating. i harvested one plant at full maturity and got 35 grams out of her(a stacked kush plant). the thai is easily twice as big but i am thinking a little less dense. i gave the thai a final flush of water(just poured 3 gallons of rainwater through the soil) yesterday and i am not having her watered before i get home. however the yield turns out, i will be more than happy. the early under buds i harvested are really powerful. my oldest son split a joint with a friend of his and he said he was basically tripping. i take a couple of hits and get a really good buzz that lasts probably 4 or 5 hours (i frequently smoke but always only a hit or two). i like the forum to get this sort of info off my chest because i can't talk about it with friends. therapy...
