Chocolate Thai F4/NL#2/Meig's OG/Race Fuel/Tuna Kush

Update:

Welp...the NL#2 and the Chocolate Thai are hang drying. They've been in the tent for a week at ~60F/60%RH. Probably going to be another week before I start trimming them. The yields appear to be low for both plants. But, as I said, these are just experiments to determine differences between old school HID lights and new stuff, as well as to determine whether or not I could get back to some of the old school terpenes with the Northern Lights and Chocolate Thai strains. (The Meig's OG was a freebie tester so it was just a bonus tag along plant.) Plus, I also lost 25% of my potential overall yield when one of the four plants (Tuna Kush X Hindu kush) turned out to be a male. In any case, I think I will end up with enough yield to hold me over until the next harvest! I just hope the flavors of the NL#2 and the Chocolate Thai turn out to be worth growing again.

Hi. Thank you!

The Chocolate Thai was....at this point...I would call it disappointing. It did not grow at all like any SE Asian strain I have ever seen. It was short and the colas looked a lot like an auto flower. It didn't have much of a smell. The taste is...meh. I probably wanted it to be great and couldn't accept that it wasn't, at first....You know? You spend a long time growing the plants and they look like they might be something special....maybe....and you do everything for them and go through every phase of growing/drying/curing to try and maximize the flavors, etc. ...but if it's not in the genetics, then it doesn't matter. That's what happened with this strain. I saw the "F5" and figured that someone who had done that much work on a plant must have a special plant....but nope. I hate to say it, but it might just be the most ho-hum plant I've ever grown....at least one of them!

I am old enough to have smoked plenty of Thai weed in the 70s that was brought back by Vietnam veterans and also Peace Corps people. The taste was so unique it's hard to describe it. It's one of those flavors that's immediately identifiable and unforgettable. I've been looking for it. This isn't it. This might not even be an Asian strain. It might just be that there's so much folklore surrounding the real old school Thai weed, that people will just call whatever they have, Thai weed. Not many young people would know any better....but I know better.

And just to add....


I've tried to figure a way to describe what the real Thai weed smelled and tasted like. The only things I can come up with would be to describe the smell as being kind of a "sexy woman" smell -nasty and intriguing...combined with some kind of ancient incense mixed with honey and coffee. I suppose that it could be said there were also elements of chocolate to it. The buds were small and narrow and leafy -with a combination of gold-green 'uranium' on the inside and surrounded by teal-green outer leaves. I can see it in my mind now...in that plastic sandwich bag....*sigh*

Well that’s too bad, hate to hear it. Appreciate the reply thanks

I smoked some Colombian, Panama Red and Thai stick a few times in the 70s. Some of it was really special
