great thread, education plus! no personal experience with the tropical sativa's that you are looking for
i do see that Delta9(breeder) has a tropical sativa landrace called mekong haze, price is very reasonable
good luck with your grow, looks very fine to me

You're gonna love the Dinafem Critical Jack my friend. I just harvested my second run with this strain. I scrogged 3 plants under 400W HPS, 3 .5 weeks of veg and 62 days flower. I pulled 46 oz of wet trimmed bud which dried down to 10.5 oz dried and trimmed. Giving me roughly 23% yield from the wet weight. Buds are tight assed little "christmas trees" that look like it was doused in liquid sugar with all the heavy trichome production. They were sensitive to heavy nutes but seemed indifferent to higher temps, humidity and no problems with mold. The taste is off the chart with MAJOR lung expansion. An extra 2 weeks in the cure jars seemes to have mellowed down the expansion factor. I'd give this strain a 9 out of 10 on overall qualities of ease of growing, yield, eye appeal, taste and high. The only reason I'm changing up strains is because I have over 20 strains of AAA+ feminized seeds waiting to go. "So many strains, so little time....." Good luck my Indian friend!

i don't know if i'm even getting those seeds, long story, but it depends on whether or not my friend is able to send it and it comes through indian customs. which is why i'm looking for strains to order. but in case i get it, it's a big yielder eh? i don't know about the average yield for indoor grows, only familiar with outdoor numbers. but if it responds to scrog it'll respond to lst as well which is brilliant.

thanks, going pretty well for bagseed haha
and i would prefer some cheaper feminised strains,
along the price range of greenhouse seeds (2-4 euros
for a seed) though i don't necessarily need them by
the seed.

you also might look into the breeder Mandala, good rep(haven't grown any myself), and good prices
bred for heat tolerance, think they also have a landrace sativa or 2, Mango Zamal is a sativa landrace they are recently offering

elchupacabra · May 21, 2012

thanks a lot growone, but the femd seeds from mandala are too much for my puny budget, blame indian currency...
i pay in thousands here. fml

but does anybody also know a very reliable site for seed quality and shipping? i heard great things from friends in
germany about www.azarius.net, and saw some good online reviews for picknmix seeds. but i don't know which
breeders to stick to. how's greenhouse? nirvana?

RC7 · May 21, 2012

The 2 sites i use are http://www.nirvanashop.com/en/ they have some nice strains on there for pretty cheap, one order total is like 45$ USD. The other site is Attitude https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/index.php? what i have found is if i am ordering a bunch of seeds for 100$ + then attitude provides a better variety because they have tons of strains for about the same price when you order a lot.

any issues with shipping or seed quality, like hermies or just not germinating in general? and also, i have a street light about 40-45 feet away from my plants, it's not as bright as street lights in usa, i'm honestly guessing it's just an incandescent lamp in the street, it has a normal lamp kind of light, not like those sodium lamps people use in other countries. do you think it'll affect the plants' light dark pattern?

growone · May 21, 2012

i've had good results from nirvana(cali-o and ppp), but those were regular seeds
nirvana's feminized seem to have more complaints than other feminized seeds, but this often vary from strain to strain

Almost all of the seeds i have received from both sites seemed to be high quality and always germinated very well. I have not experienced any hermies but it is always a possibility i guess. The shipping is fairly quick usually around a week or so from what i remember. As for the street light i really am not sure =/ if you cannot grow them away from the lights i would say just try your best to make sure they aren't in direct view of the light. I honestly don't think they will be a problem unless they are bright but i can't say for sure. I mean i would rather risk getting a hermie than not growing at all. ;-)

I prefer to smoke charas anyway when I'm in India. Some of the best hash I ever had was from Parvati, and it was easily as good as hash I've had in Amsterdam. I agree with you about weed in India though. People have told me that Karnataka and Kerela have good weed, but I've certainly never found that.

Good luck. Should grow great over there...

i can keep them away from the light but then i have to limit their height to about four feet. which i really have no problem doing, i just wanna let one seed grow and compare yields when topped and lst'd vs untouched

elchupacabra · May 23, 2012

thanks for the advice folks, picked up 12 regular purple widow seeds (Sjamaan)
and 5 feminized ams seeds (Greenhouse) from azarius.net. fell aprey to marketing
and picked up the 20 pack of seedpots for six euros, it seemed like a reasonable
price for help for a first time grower. although i've germinated and successfully
transplanted several seeds by soaking in water, somehow this felt 'pro'. haha
hoping to receive them soon

elchupacabra · May 23, 2012

wait change of plans they can't ship to india : ( i guess i'll try nirvana next

elchupacabra · May 23, 2012

or maybe pick n mix i want those kalichakra seeds from mandala :weed:

RC7 · May 23, 2012

oh

well i hope one at least one of the sites will ship to India, let us know how it works out

elchupacabra · May 23, 2012

ordered from pick n mix using intl debit card, went through, contacted them just in case and they said
there's no hold ups from their end. 12 regular purple widow and 10 regular papaya on the way

elchupacabra · May 24, 2012

and a question to all you folks out there, when planting outdoors, or anywhere for that matter, is it better to transplant the seedling a couple times as it grows bigger or to start it off in the final size 55 litre barrel?

opinions differ, i suppose there is an argument that you'll get bigger plants by the transplant method
i'm of the opinion that more roots is better(usually), which is start to finish in the same pot, or it could be i'm a lazy grower

to be honest, this is what has always made more sense to me, i always thought the more space the roots have to grow the better...
but then i wondered if the density of the roots would make a real visible difference, which is only something that will increase if
you decrease the amount of maximum growing volume...but another thing, if dimensions were not an issue, and keeping the
total volume constant, would it be betterto go for a taller container or a wider one or one with both roughly equal, and why?
