I'm growing a landrace Thai strain at the moment...It's called Mama Thai
I checked it out on Seedsman, and liked the following product quote: «Beware this can sometimes seem a little hallucinogenic»

P.S. We want pictures...
Yes! It looks so much better now! Nice work. And thank you kindly for the picture.
Hi RedFarang, Im sorry to hear about your loss.
The good thing is that you learned quite a lot in the process and there will be many mistakes you wont make again.
I can humbly offer you the following advice;
- Do not use soil from your garden, it is a vector of plant pathogens; if you live in a rural área, I suggest you to look for compost (organic fertilizer made by turning a large pile of vegetable matter and manure) if not you can start making your own compost, even better if you use red worms of the type called Eisenia fetida; mix the compost with rice hulls (I bet you will not have a problem finding those) and if you can also find it, add either peat moss or coco coir. The ratio I use is 5 parts peat or coco, 2 parts rice hulls and 3 parts compost (you may instead use 3 parts rice hulls and 2 compost if you feel like the compost will be too strong for the plants)
- Dont start the seedlings outside; they are very tender and vulnerable by this stage. It is better to put them under a flourescent light until they have developed some branching and have enough foliage. Then you can start to harden them off by taking them outside and putting them under the morning sun for an hour or two, and gradually increase the hours of exposure each day until they can withstand the hot sun in your área and settle permanently outside.
-If you have problems with insects, I recommend you to make a pesticide by cooking a whole pack of cigarretes (remove the filter) in a gallon of wáter until the liquid looks like a strong tea. Then put some very spicy peppers in the blender with some wáter, strain and add the spicy liquid to the tobacco tea, mix well and strain with a cloth to remove small particles. Add a spoon or two of liquid soap. Put in a spraying bottle and apply all over and under the leaves of your plant. Use sparingly, do not use during flowering. Insects will come bite the leaf and die very quickly.
-Better if you dont use pelletized fertilizer. It is usually too strong and can end up hurting your plants, and is very easy to over do it. Try using compost and organic home made teas; look for fertilizer teas in the internet.
I grow using only organic ferts and home made soil mixes with good results. If I can be of any help, you can PM me or post in the thread in my signature. I live in an area with similar weather and is hard to come by with growing supplies over here, so I had to learn how to provide for all the stuff I need by myself.
Best of wishes my friend and chime in if I can offer my humble help.
