Here are some current pics of what it looks like today….
Looking good.

You might want to start thinking about some kind of support like a cage around them in case you get some decent wind. You don't want those to get blown over. It's better to prevent a blow over than to try and get the plants back up afterwards. It looks pretty windy in that 5th picture.

I sure hope you are able to finish those out. Good luck.

Ya I went out this afternoon and lashed the tomato cages the plants are growing in together and made sure they were all upright and staked in the ground. They are all standing up straight now. We have been having lightning thunder storms here the last 2 nights and are due for a week of the storms. They should not be able to move from their place now that multiple cages are lashed together. These are the most healthy and large plants I have ever had. I am also taking clones of them and putting them aside in my grow tent to keep them going for next season. I also want to have some I can cross with Maui wowwie :-)

Nobody is going to post "about a pound" for those monsters. Going to be taller than the house!
Lol right! I am going to have to get gallon sized jars just to store the buds in lol. I am also taking clones of them as well. Right now I have 10 clones going and will give those ones away to a local dispensary I am friends with. I am trying to help seed the strain around to make sure it survives. I am not sure how potent they will be. They could only be 10% thc for all I know or maybe 16% if I am lucky. The genetics comes from “world of seeds” on seedsman.com. Does anyone know if Maui wowwie has a shorter growing period than the Thailand strains? I was thinking in the future of crossing some Lao Village with Maui wowwie to get a massive plant with hopefully shorter growing cycles. I would also like to make a chocolate Thai strain.

Thai –
Thai landrace strains are pure Sativas with historic importance as the cannabis of choice for breeders seeking to add potent and unique genetics to their programs. Indigenous Thai cannabis strains are found to be uniform and, in general, characteristics include: tall plants with many branches and leaves with long, 9 to 11 inch serrated leaflets, susceptibility to hermaphroditism, sweet, aromatic flowers with elongated calyxes, low CBD levels, and high production levels of resinous, psychoactive THC (14% to 24% THC), and a terpene profile that includes Caryophyllene – “Pepper”, Humulene – “Hops”, Pinene – “Pine” and Terpinolene – “Wood”. As a pure Sativas, Thai landrace cannabis strains produce highs that are stimulating, head-centered, energizing and euphoric. For medicinal uses, patients prefer Thai strains for depression, stress, and headaches.
One famous Thai landrace cannabis strain was called “Chocolate Thai”, which first made an appearance in the U.S. sometime in the 1960s as “Thai sticks,” spindly flowers tied to a bamboo stick that were renowned for their potent high. These buds were slender and airy, medium-to-dark brown in color, and possessed both a unique chocolate-coffee aroma and a distinct chocolate flavor. Thanks to the combination of its flavor, coffee-colored buds, and a cerebral high, the strain was very popular until the 1980s. Eventually, the strain’s popularity began to fade due to its lower THC level and difficulty to grow, with 10% THC as a high-rated sample and seeds not only being difficult to germinate, but also tending to die easily or become hermaphroditic. Because of these difficulties, some claim that true Chocolate Thai genetics went extinct in the mid-to-late 1980s. Chocolate Thai’s special effect is its burst of creativity and focus, and the high is amazing for anyone in need of inspiration...."

I just finished a Thai strain grow, and it is absolutely fantastic. I did indoor, it is crossed with an Oregon strain that makes it purple and very manageable.

The first thing you notice with a kick A-- Thai strain is a super fast onset of the buzz. I'm talking 30 seconds to a head rush. Very few strains can do this. Potency is good, I would guess 18 or 20%. But for those that know Thai, thc is just part of the magic. The terps they put in dont just taste good, they mess you up in ways some people cant handle or dont like.

If you are prone to anxiety Thai is like drinking coffee and walking into a haunted house -- crazy bad. But if you are the opposite and like that sxxx, it's the best strain ever discovered.

I would guess 20% outdoors well grown, and mind warping effects that will make you build a fence to keep people out once they try it

Hahaha ya. Actually I am smoking a magical Highland Thai that sells at the store outside our neighborhood. It’s a 1:1 CBD / THC. I was lucky to find a seed in one and I have sprouted it. I am going to try and cross it with the Lao once they both come to maturity. I am hoping it’s going to be a male so I can cross it with the Lao and get a ton of seeds. I think if I breed it with a male that has some CBD in it, it will help to stabilize and mellow the high. I love the highland Thai I have been smoking for a few months straight now :-) I can’t wait though to see how the Lao Village is on its own. I want to preserve seeds from it as well to keep a collection of heirlooms.

when I checked on my plants today the Lao looks like they are even taller with the massive Raina snow flooding going on… I bet by the time the week is over they will be as tall as trees lol. I think the neighbors can see them over the fence.

Stuff is gonna be bomb man I am so psyched for you! Beautiful healthy plants ready for 110 degrees and one of the only strains that will love it that hot. May be 20 feet tall by end of July!

Setup a hammock and just live out there man, Thai mmmmm mmmmm I would be jealous but I got some too! But not the Lao...be careful of the Laotion gangs with weapons on patrol, they dont like strangers

Oh ok cool. I just wanted to make sure since I have a whole ton of Thai Lao village right next to it. I wanted seeds from the Lao village- but the right kind of seeds lol.

haha right! I am going to take lots of clones of these. That way I can keep it going into next season when the other Thailand strain (Highland Thai) gets half way to maturity.I also have 2 African strains sprouting in the tent as well for crossing with each other. I am hoping the highland Thai will be a male so I can use it to pollinate the Lao village. I am interested to see how it will turn out :-) the purple rock candy which is a strong indica will be a good companion strain to smoke on the side to help mellow out the sativa high.

I had a bucket of flare sh rain water. I went out and mixed some raw molasses with the water and diluted it. I then poured it out on the soil for the Lao village plants to help give a sugar kick to the plants along with some trace elements to help it grow.
