Growing In The Philippines

[cannawizard]

Hello how are you guys!! I'll be moving to Bohol on May 26 . All I smoke here in Vegas is medical weed so I was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction to some good weed! And I hope I never again smoke shwag because gross haha . I don't know if this matters or not but I only know english

You better smoke as much as you can before coming back to PI, the majority of weed you'll run into will be "schwaggy" , its not really the plants but the farmers, and its not like they are doing a bad job considering how hard it is to access any information on cannabis (unless you have access to the web-- most don't-- they live in remote areas because of the insane weed laws).. goodluck on finding a good source~

hey guys just im looking for the best strains i can find here in the PH. i live in the south so if you know anyone thats got some really good stuff im willing to cash out for some bud, kush, or hash. peace

If you want kush/chronic strains at butt-fck prices, manila (there are pockets of small indoor growers supplying the capital with decent weed, the rest of it is imported from US/UK)
If you want good hash, cebu/baguio (its pretty much everywhere in the PI, i got my first batch from a cop in manila.. Lol, gotta pay the bills)
If you want good local cannabis flowers, kalinga (for some reason, the locals in those mountains are doing a good job, tho most of the stuff is seeded since most of the local landrace strains are hermies)

#cheers

Sorry to hear that, hope your family member pulls through. PI isn't really a good spot to be "open" about cannabis -- the mayor and his death squad has pretty much regressed the city into their little sandbox ... Your best bet is just to grow your own supply, and look into "juicing" cannabis-- smoking helps but you get more health/immune boost from juicing the plant~

it's such a bittersweet situation living in Davao for us dudes especially when someone dear truly needs this medicine. i've tried planting some old seeds many times already but they just don't sprout. it's really getting frustrating sometimes when i think about it.

I feel ya bruh, the situation does get very frustrating when its just a plant with medical benefits. I had the same problem with local seeds from PI not sprouting-- I think its because most of the seeds are premature or just not in good shape from how it was handled during the harvest-- Have you tried scarification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarification_(botany)), use the sand paper or knife method mentioned.. its pretty easy

I also noticed more seeds germinating when I used some local fert (AMWAY Nutriplant SL or SD) --helps the seeds get a little push~

Goodluck

Im from Philippines man, i got some bagseeds from my last score, 2months ago, ive germinated it tissue paper method, this is my first grow so i did a lot of research about how-to's and just followed what most growers suggest, I've posted some pics below, week 1 - week 7 total of 49 days.
Any comments, suggestions, tips, likes or dislikes, would be very much appreciated.
Do you think i have a green hand?
Maybe? Lol this is my first grow man. Peace!

Congrats on your first grow
From the pics your sativas look ok, I would suggest looking into the indoor forum section or lighting section for tips on what lights to use for vegging/bloom, CFL's are fine for veggin but for bloom you might get disappointed from the results (I would suggest incorporating sunlight in your grow, that is what I' am doing since its hard to source HPS/HID grow lights in pinas).. Anyone can develop "green hands", you just need diligence and practice

Thanks for the help man, i think i would add more lights to it. I cant add some sunlight cause we have gardeners here and they might see it. Haha are u sure that my plants are sativas? I have Lst'ed them for micro grow. I want the smallest plant as possible, do u think i can switch it now to flowering stage? But before I'll switch I'll add more lights to it to have better buds. Thanks bro ill just wait again for your response. peace!

You mentioned the seeds you used were from bagseed( 90% of local strains are sativas in pinas--- i have yet to see indicas) And judging from how the fan leaves on your plants are long serrated fingers, its safe to bet its a sativa , you can always grow your plants camouflaged in the backyard.. thats what i did, planted some ornamental and papaya plants around them, so people just walk by without even noticing they are there.. haha~

Yes, i would suggest adding some more CFLs in there before flowering, and try to take a quick trip into https://www.rollitup.org/f/cfl-fluorescent-lighting.75/

Also, from personal experience, our local sativas grow just a tad better under 10on/14off instead of the typical 12on/12off~ but feel free to choose whichever route, both work~

cheers

Thanks man by the way i wanna show u some update on my plants. Ur the only one who's responding.haha


8th week (from seedling stage to vegetative)



Pwede na ba ako mag switch to flowering stage? Height of plant to soil about 5in.(trained them using Lst). Do u speak tagalog or can u understand it? Hehe. Can i now go to flowering stage? I neee to determine if there's a male on my plants so i can remove it asap. I'll wait ur reply bro. Salamat

 

[cannawizard]

Pwede na chon, lol Always glad to help another islander~ try 36hrs of darkness when you flip the switch to bloom, should speed-up the sexing process by telling the plant its flower time
My tagalog sucks, i always have locals tell me i give them "nosebleeds" with my accent haha~

 

[king lebron]

u understand tagalog but u cant speak fluently? Englishan nalang tayo. Hahaha i need to change my bulb before switching to flower stage? Or i can change it later? Like 3 days after switch. Im excited to go to flowering stage but i still dont have the warmer bulbs for flower. Do u have any current grow journal?

Ang bilis mo naman mag reply bro haha lagi ka ba online? U have fB or twitter or anything? Haha too many questions running on my mind i cant post here as quick as possible im only using my phone, and its hard to post while ur stoned,my battery will run out before i send my message hahaha.

yup.. i understand but i don't speak fluently, its amazing how other ppl can speak multiple languages, i'll stick to english.. the many slang(s) and profanities suite me haha~

you don't have to switch the bulbs right away, the cool white ones will suffice for now, then you can switch to "warmer" ones (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature) ---from what i have noticed using CFLs in the past, its not really the color temp of the bulbs but how much (watts) in total = higher means bigger flowers , i dont have any current grow journals-- maybe in the future but at-the-moment i'm keeping everything private, not really in a "safe" place to be broadcasting cannabis grows

No facebook or twitter , if you got questions, RIU is the perfect place for them

Haha ok man. Akala ko kasi kailangan ng warmer bulb bago mag switch to flower stage, so ganito sana ang plano ko, before switching, for example tommorow,
ill turn off lights up to 36 hrs. Then the following day I'll start 12/12,
after a week, ill add 2 more cfl(warm).

Sa tingin mo ba ok yan gagawin ko?

I know that more watt= denser/better flower, but i just want to know if i can see pre-flowers even if i only use cool cfl(bluish). Para lang matanggal ko ang male plant before it pollinate the females. After that ill start adding more lights para mas efficient ang lighting ko sa flowering stage.

Sounds good~ if you are just doing it to "sex" your plants it should be fine, also, next time you can "sex" them earlier-- so you don't have to go thru the hassle of growing 8th week old plants, as soon as you hit the 5th node you can already do it hope you get all females~
