Started a corner for the enthusiasts is Natal. I consider it to be the first flagstone laid for South Africa being Durban poison country and All Inviting all girls and guys growing south of the berg to come pitch a spot and we can trap some history and share Natal horror stories. Should you qualify for the dragon team, drop me a note for an invite plz My mission is to become a better grower and share recipe's for success with the team.

Good day fellow growers! The next grow is underway at long last. After moving places and getting all my necessities setup, I am super stoked to start a grow diary following the progress for you to enjoy. The setup: 80x80x180 Tent 6 inch HIT Fan + 6 inch filter This time around going for two smaller 15 litre DWC cooler boxes instead of one 30 litre cooler box Regent 9500 Duel Air Pump, one airstone in each DWC pumping 120l/h of oxygen to each plant Lumii Cool Tube for HID lighting Starting off with the 250W MH bulb just until I get 3 nodes or so and then will swap out for the 400W MH bulb. My intentions going with two cooler boxes this time around is to experiment with longer flowering time as I do not have to keep one plant in vegetation as long for potentially the same yield and also maybe get some beefier buds in the end. PH sitting at 5.7, PPM is 250, reservoir temp chilling at a cool 20C and humidity currently sitting at an average of 35%. I do occasionally throughout the day give the girls a quick light spray with 6.0 PH water. Seedling strength nutes in the reservoirs, specifically Nutriplex trio. Light is set to 18/6 as I believe in giving the ladies sleep. Now for the fun part! I have already come to a bit of a snag with one of the ladies. Leaves have been slowly turning pale and yellow and her stem has been slowly losing strength. Decided to leave her alone for two days and prop her up with some wire but haven't seen any recovery, so I decided to take the plunge and split open the rockwool to investigate the root development. Now usually I would have just germinated a new seed, the plant that is currently doing fine took only a week to get to this point so I wouldn't lose anytime with the harvest by just popping a new seed, but I decided I want to learn a bit more on the recovery and nature of seedlings and maybe if someone comes to find themselves in a similar situation and they really can't afford to lose the seedling, then this may help. For disclosure, I germinate using the paper towel method until the taproot is about a cm long and then pop them into 5.5 PH rockwool, keep the rockwool on a windowsill until the first razer leaves appear and then into the tent they go. So here is what I found going on inside the rockwool: It appears the root formation got stuck by the seed's shell. What I am going to attempt to do is place what is left of the current stem into the rockwool right up until the plant's cotyledons and hopefully the plant will repurpose it's stem as it's initial roots. The whole seedling is now protruding through the whole rockwool and is touching the bottom of the net pot. I am expecting that the bubbles created in the reservoir will produce an aeroponics affect and feed the roots from below the netpot until the roots have grown sufficiently enough to reach the water of the reservoir. Below to the left is the outcome of the recovery setup for the struggling seedling and to the bottom right is the root forming on the healthy plant below the net pot. Next update I hope to report some recovery of the struggling seedling! Happy growing to the rest of you. Edit: Forgot to mention the strain! Going once again for Sweet Deep Grapefruit from Dinafem and hoping to improve on my last batch.

Remember that invite bru. I might end up there soon with a couple of joints showing what the CT growoff champion brings to the table. Cocky much. LoKL Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Tsk, that is the joke. Capitalist Fascism right at work in the communist party. "Feed the hungry cake" they said.... Its time the people stand up and crash this crazy law making one sided future. They are never going to stop the Artisanal producer ever - better to regulate to all flavours from the start. But we always have to first 'I told you so' ...

Quick update on the Daq Lime auto. I took a look at a seed and it's practically ready, so I will most likely flush this weekend and then harvest in 2 weeks or so. The plant itself is looking decent and I am very impressed with the bud size for such a small plant.

Lol - good one sir, lekka to be SefEfrikin and show these locals how the brew is really fermented

the General idea @Smelly Joe the general idea and if you ever head to Underberg, you can stop in for a top up and a cuppa mountain coffee I am test piloting my new gummies - called 'nummies' (tm) and have not touched down in a couple of days now - all legally off course, as only homegrown can be ....

Super awesome my dude! Wishing you the best of luck and a good turn out of irie individuals

I wouldn't really advise that, but give it a go. It's an autoflower as well. It's also meant to be a big plant, my other seed got really tall before flowering. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

What a weird one! The runt from earlier is the leading grower here! Topped again and now it's the same size as the other untopped Ayla bb. They are getting big enough to put in bloom to fill up the scrog net. Or outside... Not sure yet

And here they are today!! Growth has been good since transplant.

Been using fabric lots for years , So many variables involved in this . Fabric pots will dry faster , by the pots drying faster has its pros and cons . Firstly it will add a lot of extra humidity to the room so you will either need to compensate by adding extra dehumidifiers in a sealed room or extra extraction to a normal room . It will also allow you to feed more by as long as your plants are able to use the extra nutes . It also adds extra co2 into the root zone because as it drys it pulls in fresh air . Fabric pots will also help beginners not overwater . I have been using some bags for about 3 years and they are starting to need replacing . As long as you can cope with the humidity there is no disadvantage to using them

If you’re in Gauteng look up Damax plastics. They sell 10m rolls for R50-R60. I was planning on doing exactly this, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
