Thanks for the reply, NG. What I'd like to know are opinions on the differences between the effects--the high--of African sativa strains such as Malawi and Asian sativas such as Thai strains. I know both seem to be routinely described as psychedelic, which I like, but there have to be other...

I forgot to mention that I've never tried an African or Thai (or any Asian) strain, but many people also talk about "classic" Thai characteristics, not only about the plant but about the high. Can anyone shed light on that? Is there a "classic" quality to a Malawi (or other African) strain...

I've read quite a bit about what people and seed companies have to say about the effects of Malawi and Thai sativas, and I know there has to be a lot of variation among strains even within the two enormous continents. For example, strains from south, north or central Africa must have their...

I agree with the Indoor Sun King. Definitely weigh your pots before watering. if you have extra soil and another empty 3 gallon pot lying around, fill it with the soil. If the soil is bone dry, add about 2 cups of water. Now weigh it. Next, weigh your troubled plant. Now, don't water the...

There is such an instant psychological dependence for me, because all one must do is look around and want to escape reality entirely...BUT, the most positive effect of focused creativity for me wanes if I smoke all the time. In fact, the essence of one's creativity is called into question the...

Thanks for the rec, Goddess.

I grew it as one of 3 strains in my first grow. You'll find a lot of people have had problems growing it for different reasons, so I guess I got lucky (did an organic super soil in containers on a balcony). I made some minor mistakes along the way, but in the end it was a beautiful plant that...

The dilution ratio is between 10:1 and 20:1. It absolutely works on almost anything you want to grow, especially in vegetative stage, of course, where high N is needed. I find it's quite fine for a quick burst of N when needed, but I wouldn't use it with every watering due to, as others...

also leafly.com. I'm not sure how up-to-date they are with the newest of the new strains, but it's a really cool, easily navigable website where you can choose your symptoms you wish to relieve or the specific mood you're trying to re-create.

Hey Clayman, I had the same idea of planting the seedling off to the side so I could make tie-downs from the very beginning right along the edge of the pot until it made it full circle; HOWEVER, I decided against it, because this doesn't account for the side branching that will shoot out far...

Consider making a super soil. You'll save yourself a lot of money, you'll know exactly what goes into it, and you won't have to worry about feeding schedules or buying extra nutes. Do a search here on the forum for LC's Mix or consider the ingredients in the expensive soils mentioned here and...

Check out the grow forums here on SSH. I think among sativas, it's easy to grow. What kind of indoor set up do you have? Are you going with store-bought nutes or maybe a super soil? I don't have any experience with indoor growing, but on my outdoor balcony grow, I used a super soil recipe...

I haven't tried any of those, but have had a strong hankering to try SSH and SD for the effects they promise. Orange Bud reviews on Leafly.com read well for both the high and the ease of grow. It has a long history which is always great promise but I would be (perhaps unfairly) reticent...

I just harvested my first grow with just about the same specifications you are looking for in a stone, and I am in the Caribbean. So far, I've only smoked Shaman and Tangerine Dream, both of which are great for inspiring creativity, energy and general happiness (I have NO desire to feel brain...

I use Sunshine Mix #4 like so many others, but being on a budget, I amend it to closely replicate the Roots Organics recipe: Lignite, coco fiber, perlite, pumice, compost, peat moss, bone meal, bat guano, kelp meal, greensand, soybean meal, leonardite, k-mag, glacial rock dust, alfalfa meal...

Thanks, Krypton. I should be harvesting SLH in a few short weeks; after curing, I will be able to experiment first hand. I'm still set on your recommendation for Apollo 13, and for the third, I'm now leaning most strongly towards Green Haze Thai (Ace Seeds) or Malawi Gold.

That's a tough one, Matt. I can tell you that if this grow fails, definitely try again, because those issues are easy to avoid. Whether you started from seed or a clone, it sounds like you severely overwatered, and if you didn't have drain holes in your starter cup or pot, the problem was...

Kvn, there's a really great sticky by koijn called "Harvesting and Trichomes" in the Harvesting forum. It was still active when I used it almost 2 months ago, and koijn is really responsive. He's not an advocate of flushing or moderate feeding, and he backs it all up with a bibliography of...

Glad to hear you're set on germinating in soil with great success. The reason your first seeds took so long to germinate is because you buried them too deep. The Grow Bible by Jorge Cervantes advises to plant the seed twice as deep as the width of the seed. This comes to about 1/4 inch (about...

If the soil is very dry out of the bag, sprinkle an inch's worth into the cup and mist it a time or two with water. Then throw in another inch, with another mist. Continue until you reach the top of the cup. The soil must be only moist--not wet. I've read several times you should not...
