Dien-Amok's World - 2026 Indoor Garden

2026 Indoor Garden

To the starting soil the following organic amendment blend added:

  1. Worm Castings: An essential amendment that provides a slow-release source of nitrogen and introduces beneficial bacteria.

  2. Kelp Meal: Excellent for potassium and micronutrients, promoting microbial diversity.

  3. Bat Guano: High in nitrogen and phosphorus, ideal for sustained plant growth and blooming.

  4. Bone Meal: A slow-release source of phosphorus, which is crucial for root development and flowering.

  5. Dolomite Lime: A must-have for raising soil pH to the optimal 6.0–7.0 range while adding calcium and magnesium.

  6. Mycorrhizal Inoculant: Increases root surface area, enabling better nutrient and water absorption.

Planned nutrient feed and 3 gallon grow bags

June 6th 2026 - Begin cultivation

Germination Method/Rate

Paper towel 3 seeds Spring Water - 9 days no sprout. 0% germination

Soak 7 seeds 14 hours, Spring water/1% peroxide. Sow into 2 oz cups/Happy Frog soil.

Staggered germination 3 - 5 days. Five plants 3 normal, 2 mutations. 75% germination

June 13th 2026 - Start Seedling Program.

Move sprouts into garden. Soil Ph test 1:1 soil to distilled water, wait 24 hours, strain, test with meter. Soil was collected dry. In this case the organic soil ammendments show 6.4 Ph.

Damping soil in preparation for transplant runoff water still showed 6.4. Only concern is soil might be “hot”.

Humidifier Settings: Fan Speed 10, % VPD 1.60, Temperature 82 ºF

Plan is 3 plant grow. However the mutations will be cared for until normal growth begins.

Mutations

June 19, 2026 - Five plants transplanted to final containers. One liter ph adjusted well water with 3.5 ml big bloom added. Applied around plant drip ring.

On June 22, 2026 - plants appear to be adjusted and it does not appear soil is too “hot.”

Dok Rak (flower of love) now call Thêā pĕd (duck foot) 'fraid to come out

Churai (good heart) will be kept as the third plant for this experiment.

The two well-adjusted plants

July 4, 2026, Start Growth Program.

As planned three plants selected

Off to the races . . .

I wonder why they become strange like that. Maybe the soil is to rich on nutrients for young plants? Anyway those two that finally made it are Hang Krarok Manao, right?

Prempa when I grow SE Asia genetics always grow almost yellow. Is your soil at the farm high in nitrogen?

I thought my organic soil mix would have plenty N because of worm casitngs and bat guano. It appears soil is not rich enough.

I landed up using Foxfarm both Big Bloom and Grow Big according to grow stage schedule. Also watered with epsom salts. Now they are not yellow and look like lime green candy color. Also they really started growing. 2 weeks in growth stage.

So far I observe. Germination is 1 week and Seedling is 3 weeks. Same as any other indoor garden. Blue spectrum dominate keeps plants bushy and short. Don’t think heavy red is not necessary those stages

Now I grow to 24" and super crop stalk Grow horizontal and not use net. Feed according to Foxfarm schedule.

Flower stage remains heavy on the red and adjust on/off when I flip.

Seeing I read to much opinions. I can grow your weed indoor as I would any other weed.

I show photos in a couple days. Have any advice Prempa?

" . . . Because landrace selections are living archives rather than engineered pedigrees, they are shaped as much by place as by discrete parentage. Weather patterns, soil microorganisms, and seasonal timing imprint as strongly as human choices. The breeder’s role is curatorial—multiplying seed within type and removing off-chemotype plants over successive cycles. In that sense, Hangkrarok Manao’s lineage is regional, adaptive, and functionally sativa through and through. . . . "

This is how they adapt in my grow world! In they end if the weed is a (light) lime green with citrus pine terpenes I’ll be satisfied. I’ll reserve taste as stem rub woke a 60 year old profile in my brain.

July 31, 2026. Week 8 Day 7 End of Growth Program (4 weeks). Was going to go 5 weeks growth but they are taking off. Best to start flower stretch,

There has been no removal of leaf, topping or pruning. 08-01-2026 trellis will be applied at 30” (762 mm) from floor. Plant height 18” (457.2 mm) at start of SCROG. Will not defoliate under net.

1 week Germination, 3 weeks Seedling, 4 weeks Growth, 2 weeks Pre Flower. Week 1 Flower

Churai is male. So, if happens seeds :happy: If pollen dream would be pollenate Highland Lao and call Lao Manao!

Big front plant (first to knuckle) is female Churai and this plant starting to grow parallel to each other.

First time I tried a trellis (SCROG). This is what I see. Grow Manao to 36". Supercrop apical between 12" - 18". Place brick on floor for weight. Soft tie plant about 3" back from grow tip. Adjust the tie as the plant grows. Lateral branches will reach upward for the light. No need for trellis. Next Manao grow I will use this tecnique..

Beginning of Week two flower switching feed one time from Fox Farm to NPK Industries RAW week 3 of Flower.
