you nailed it man...it's the same but different.Yo, love your posts cabra, good information and experiences I can learn from. I´ve been an expat now for ten years and am starting something along your scale. Some of the questions are hilarious, so many people don´t understand that living in a third world country CAN be like living in a first world county, but its just different. Like I tell my friends back home, we got streets and stuff with cars, but theyre just different. there are fast-food joints and restaurants, but they´re different. We got malls and stuff, with shops, same clothes and whatnot most times, its just different. lol I think its from most americans not traveling as much to far away lands, not all of course cause you can´t generalize like that, but most at least.
I had a a guy at home ask me if we have phonebooks and microwaves. I just tell everyone I saddle my goat or mule up before heading to the country store to buy bread daily. And we use bartering systems with fruits and river fish, money doesn´t exist yet
So just to clear something up, with your photperiod, your plants aren´t growing too tall? How are they tasting and the yield turning out pretty well? sorry man, 63 pages of posts on your thread, can´t sit still long enough to get through them all today
see it depends a lot on the strain. the only thing that prevents some strains from growing taller than other similar strains (i.e. while papaya grows comparatively poorly but afghani grows well) is the tolerance to heat. some breeders' strains i've found are not the best suited to take the climate i have here. with temps above 30C every day without fail for most of the year, most strains made by subcool, dutch passion, and BCSC grow relatively poorly, while strains made by Mandala and SB (mr.nice) grow really well. boils down to growing what is best suited for your climate. near the equator, i'd suggest more sativa leaning strains; you cannot go wrong with mandala, if you have more money Mr.nice is a better option, you pay more but the strains are more refined and homogenous if that's what youre looking for...i'm frankly a fan of varied genetics, the mandala safari mix and mr.nice's walkabout are two packs i'd strongly recommend any first time grower or 100th time grower to try. : )
yield was as little as 20 grams for dinafem's blue widow and as high as 500 grams dry for my indian landrace...i'd say most online purchased seeds average about 1.5 - 2 oz a plant.
