Hey everyone, I’m setting up this diary to record organic cultivation under very specific climatic conditions. I’m in a semi-arid tropical region (latitude close to the equator) where:
- Average temperatures: 26-32°C (79-90°F) - max 35°C (95°F) in summer.
- Relative humidity: 60-80% in the rainy season (Jan-Jun), dropping to 40-50% in the dry season.
- Natural photoperiod: ~12 hours of light all year round.
- Rainfall: ~800mm concentrated in 4 months.
The approach is deliberately simple: using only the organic fertilizer JLF Jardam as a base, I will observe how each plant reacts to the heat stress and humidity variations typical of our climate. Don’t expect great techniques or miraculous interventions, the idea is precisely to let the plants show their natural potential for resistance. Those that adapt best, showing vigor even in the heat and without requiring too much extra care, will be chosen for future crops and perhaps even for reproduction. Those that suffer too much… well, nature makes its selection.

This is awesome and a great write up, I’ll be here tuned in my friend. Good luck.

I’m excited to learn this and I don’t even live in the tropics.

Here’s the progress of my organic cultivation. Let’s start with Skywalker OG BX1 F2, which I got from @vertebrata. This girl is about a month into flowering and has an interesting story. Of the four seeds I planted, three turned out to be male and only this female followed. At the start of flowering, she released about ten pollen sacs, which worried me, but after I carefully removed them, they didn’t appear again. I decided to keep her to see how she behaves and I’ve already picked up some clones, just in case it’s worth keeping these genetics.
The CSD S1, a gift from @hashpants, is still vegetative. I had a problem at the beginning when I overdosed it with organic fertilizer, it burned the tips of the leaves. I reduced the concentration of JLF Jardam to 1ml per liter.
Now for the newest stars: the Junk’s Bride F4 x Chocolate Rain F3 originally bred by @Panamajock & @Papalag, these special genetics came to me through the generosity of @MissinBissin. Only three weeks old, the vegetative structure is vigorous, with wide leaves. I decided not to prune or train them because I want to see how they develop naturally, so that I can identify the characteristics of each one.

Great work @samnord.
Great to see these flying high already

The Junk’s Bride x Chocolate Rain were transplanted two days ago. Today, it rained a little, and they loved it!
Skywalker OG starting to pack on the weight!
