Usually they take about 2 to 3 days to crack and tap roots to emerge. In cold weather they may take longer. I prefer keeping them in a covered sideplate so I can open and close to check. Keep an eye on them and be carefull when you remove them from the towel to transplant, as the roots are very fragile and many a good bean has been lost due to a broken tap root. You can plant them out as soon as the root is out of the shell, some people prefer to wait until it's 1cm long-your choice. While you wait for roots, prep your transplant stuff. Enjoy.

As promised. Here what she looks like up close. Her genes were stealthily imported. Should defs do a bean run in the next round.[emoji2] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Swazi Gold is a Landrace sativa strain. Who knows if she's 100% ''pure'', personally believe she's close enough- lots of research done. Google will show you many pheno's.[emoji848] She has the typical narrow leaves and buds have a tangy citrus scent and strong cerebral effect. Going to let her go more amber this time - more chill and less headrush. She is on the finishing stretch, been feeding twice a week to try and reduce early leaf loss- to no avail. I like to check pistils and there after trichome colouration. Plant will tell you when they are ready. The previous Swazi lady finished with very few leaves. Don't really flush in the indoor sense, we stop feeding and plants recieve only rain water for a couple of days before the chop. Will take a few bud pics. Cheers Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Good day fellow horticulturists 1-4. Some gratuitous bud shots for you[emoji3] 5. Our Swazi Gold lady picking up some weight. 6-7. Wanted to check the conditions in the greenhouse. Tried using the terarium thermometer....it went up 65deg C - I think it's broken. My trusty IR thermometer showed the real temps. 8. Seaweed FPJ brewing along nicely. White fungal colouration is supposed to be a good sign. But holy crap the smell, it's beyond stanky.[emoji43] 9. Moved our strawberries in as well, birds and monkeys are chowing everything.

Howzit greenfingers, The Giant Cookie Birds are doing awesome, still in the lead with growth rates. Yesterday they had some AACT and this morning some rainwater from the Jojo. Did notice some insect munching activity, sprayed some Margaret Roberts (B.Thrungensis-for worms) and followed up with an Ecobuz pestpro product (Beauveria bassiana-for mites/aphids) Cheers vir eers.[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

And so my new life learning course begins. I was kindly pointed in the direction of a very pleasant young fella hereabouts. We chatted a bit and I explained my total lack of knowledge, tight budget and limited garden space. He graciously gave me some pointers and then like a magician without a wand, transformed my little stash of cash into these two beeyooties...

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.

So, belive it or not this plant is almost 7 weeks old Igor was planted the same day as the other 3 plants and had the same soil (Culterra potting) and watering as the other seeds but damn...

Will be growing three plants, each one in a different medium, i.e. Just Cannabis, Freedom Farms & The Grow Station. Would have liked to grow more than one plant per medium but money and space is limited. Seeds were soaked for 24H and planted today in 1.5l pots with FF Seedstarter. Although both JC & TGS states that their soil is good from seed to harvest, I don't want to take chances.. They will be transplanted to 20l Fabric Pots and start off with only feeding with water and maybe adding some tea. Biobizz on standby if needed.

If a suitable strong Swazi male presents me with some pollen. Game on....[emoji41] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Why not just add a passive air intake? Like an air filter, my tent came with one and now that it is summer it makes a HUGE difference! Temps are more consistent and cooler, humidity is better controlled and the negative pressure is still there but not as bad.

Prepping the pots. Freedom Farms (Left) Just Cannabis (Right) The Grow Station (Bottom).

Hi H2Ou Moving your plants around is going to be heavy going and a PITA.... You gonna be limited to about 20lit or whatever you can comfortably carry. Just some ideas-Have a look at the carrier bags from Woolies, they about 20lit, got handles and should work well for bagseed. 25lit buckets from China mall/Crazy plastic also work well.

Afternoon growers. The Vanilla Kush seedlings are doing well and handling the heat. Our North Coast summer is blistering today, but the greenhouse is keeping our babies cool[emoji41] They got a lekker AACT yesterday and this morning a light rain watering from the Jojo. The one little ICU case has recovered well and is doing its thing. Cheers Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

The 2 Afghani seedlings at 2 days young! They loving the heat. DP busy germing. @Dank Yes that is the plan, also want to get the cannatonic into a form that is much happier in the heat, Might actually take an f3 or 4 once I get there of the DP x Afghani cross so I can get the better stem strength from the Afghani as well. Cheers So many seeds, so little time, so little space.

Both plants looking much better tonight. Temp and humidity stabilising at 32C and 18% respectively. 400W MH bulb is sitting at about 20 inches away from the plants. They seem pretty happy so I'm just going to leave things as they are as long as they keep looking good. I have a feeling I am able to get away with the lower humidity because of the DWC setup. The plants have such direct access to water and nutrients that I think they can manage without optimal humidity levels. Wouldn't mind some rain in general though, it's fokoff dry in my area. The humidity will rise as the plants get bigger anyways, so I'm not too phased that it will have any negative impact.

Added about a teaspoon of epson salts to each res. PPM is sitting at 500 for both. Seedling strength nutes in the res, vegetative stage nutes in the premix nute bottle I use to refill the res's, so the nutes will rise as I replace more water in the res's. Great recovery on the cripple. Roots have touched the res water and rapid growth is expected from here on out. Big sister also coming along nicely, but I think the heat is getting to her a little bit. Seeing some signs of heat stress and relative humidity is still a little bit low. Replaced the 250W MH with the 400W MH to test conditions and it did get a little toasty at first. Max temp reached was 35C, although res temp has so far never broken 26C which is good. I've raised the light up a touch and put my exhaust system from low to medium power. Waiting for the light to come on tonight to see how the temps fare. If temps don't keep below 30C I may just switch back to 250W MH.

Hello @PsyCLown Helderberg region outside of Cape Town, is where I'm based. I appreciate your offer of guidance, having never done this before. So, I have a micro garden, which gets some limited sun each day. Fortunately I work from home and was thinking of getting some big heavy duty bags with handles which will allow me to hump my girls around as the sun moves. I don't know if that is feasible. I just know that I need to provide them with lots of sunlight. Pleasant young barkeep at my new local passed a small bag of about 20 seeds over the counter to me today. So I might just practice with some of them for the time being. It was a nice gesture.

Beautiful. Sent from my SM-A700F using Tapatalk

Its the Gorilla Glue strain, I'm growing outdoors. I'm thinking the seeds were "bad seeds" or the Culterra soil completely messed them up (is that possible?) as the other 2 plants also have some really slow growth. Only 1 of them is growing and looking ok-ish albeit on the slow side, but definitely doing better than the others. Heres some pics of the other 3 plants.

I agree with PsyCLown, that soil is very poor quality. But in the same breath... That little plant looks weird at the top... Like it's flowring already. What is it and do you have more seeds? Put it in the sun for a few days to see what happens

I believe I see one of your problems... I got some cuttings in culterra soil and even with my regular feeding they were looking SUPER pale. Transplanted them into some Organics Matter soil and within 2 / 3 days they were already far darker! I purchased a bag of the cultera soil and gave it away, did not like it at all. As long as it is not an autoflower, there is still hope. I would recommend using a different soil, perhaps this little guy is more sensitive than the others.

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' ...

Strawberry amnesia - Who finished all the stawberries?

The new strawberry cough suppliers in town.

Nice!! Good for them hehe.. They must grow some strawberry strains Still don't like that the media calls it dagga in this glorious day and age

I didn't see that its indoor medical bud advertised anywhere, just indoor and other than that I just saw bud. Bags full lol. Most at 50 and 2 cheese strains at 60 which were to be "indoor" but ultimately yes. It's either high grade outdoor or low greenhouse. I smoked the Chemdog and it was/is great. I cant complain. It's not top shelf. But its cured. Potent enough, smells good.

I would suspect that the indoor is greenhouse or high grade outdoor. Sacrilege to call it indoor medical bud if it's not sensi

I just bought from the Cannapax Traditional healers. Straight walk into the shop. On a chalkboard the strains written. R50 for outdoor R60.00 for "indoor" all seeded of course so maybe indoor is basically.meaning inside the hemisphere of earth. So at least we know Aliens didnt grow it. The quality. Hmmm... not sure. It doesnt look terrible I guess? Above is meant to be chemdog And below Bubblegum Cheese
