Good lawd if feels like an eternity since the last update!! The ladies did stretch alil more and have started packing on the budsites development. I completed a massive defoliation on day 21, and here are the results. It is day 26

Evening [emoji561] Week 7,5 and Girls pumping. High temp but it is what it is and we adapt. DP getting fat, AT catching up slowly and the GWS not as previous grow but ok. Velvet is rock hard already, she always amazes me and nice colour. New seeds popped today and some cutting drooping abit after weekend transplant and heat most probable, will see after the weekend how the settled in. Gave flowering room a Phyta feeding of 2,7 EC the week and they all survived and just a few nute burn leaves Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Unfortunately the internet is so slow today. I see the last pic I took was just after New Years. I bought the following strains from Biltong & Buds, the breeder is Bulk Seedbank or something like that. I suspect they just made their own crosses judging from the names. Can't really complain, most of the plants look healthy except the Guerilla Glue. Dubai Poison Green Scout Cookies OG Kush Sensi Star Special Skunk White Prussian Guerilla Glue Psychedelic CBD Good Wild Shark CBD Nepal Gold I also have a Kush line that I plant every year together with some Swazi and also seeds from last year's grow. All and all I have 35 plants.

I'm very excited hehe... This will be one of my sweetest grows yet so I do have this proud feeling Even though I got the plants when they were big, I think I have guided them and looked after them enough to have a great pride feeling about it

I will take some pictures today of each tree and start a journal of some sorts. The internet is very intermittent the last day or say. I have created an entire thread only for it not to be posted as the internet went off in the time of hitting the send button. Here are just some pictures I recently took. These are 3 I flipped recently. Wedding gelato, lemon haze and a sour grape. These 3 were forced into flower on 10 January 2020 The purple one was a Elixer cbd auto which was harvested in December and is busy curing.

Brother, I've checked your cupboard build and I take my hat out for your effort. I think having the cupboard on the balcony is a bad idea. I'm an indoor durban grower and it's difficult keeping temps down inside the house leave alone the balcony. The plants are going to be stressed out in there and produce poor results. It's also going to be an eyeball opening the grow cupboard at night amongst other issues. You better off leaving the structure of that cupboard there as a grow shelf and grow the plants in it with the sun. You could put a sun net on all the open sides to increase privacy and give the plants the greenhouse feel. I've grown many plants outdoor that the buds look indoor. Don't be down and think we not having faith. You should try convince your wife to give you a small space inside, use bribery, blackmail, whatever... from there you can slowly start taking over till half your house is dedicated to growing

I have been "window shopping" on this site for a few months now, just trying to get enough info to get my first grow going. I've had a deep passion for plants my whole life, and an even deeper passion for cannabis the last 13 years. I would consider myself kind of an hyper enthusiast, yep that hits the nail on the head. I want to thank 420sa for providing such a great forum for us locals to gather and share our stories and info on!!! I've always had a plant growing, but only harvested about 5 of them. I've had ghetto setups, all that, never anything amazing. Did a 10 plant outdoor grow last year, with a few OK plants only harvested 4 of them, but that's not where my attention is at. Got myself a 1mx1mx1.8m tent, 360Watt (probably 240True Watt) LED light, a fan, inline fan, carbon filter - all that... got a few clones from a buddy and here we go!!!! Actually, the ladies are all at week 14. Flowering for 5 weeks already. So far everything seems to be 100% as I followed all you guys' instructions to the T! I just thought it's a good idea to jump in and become part of such a great community!!! I have tons of questions, but always end up researching for hours trying to find very simple detail, just "window shopping" here has already made it so much easier finding the right information for a grower from the Overberg area. Anyway, blessed all you beautiful people! Hope you all had a wonderful week and are lucky enough to wind down at the end of all the crazyness blowing your favourite smoke!!

After I put a 3cm Leca layer on top of the coco my humidity went down, seems like Leca is also a insulater that helps the coco stay cooler that prevents evaporation. Also the airsirculation doesn't dry out the top layer of coco that sucks moist from below up again. [emoji2368], does it make sense Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Calcium sulphate or gypsum. The gardeners gold dust contains gypsum, kelp, and other trace.

Your plants look happy, although the cupping of the leaves on that auto is not ideal but that has been harvested anyways.

Looking superb! Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

looking good. I am a few day ahead, but your shit if looking seriously tight. Respect!

Plus it looks like you in the good books with her bullie, maybe he's a smoker too... You have to use whatever advantage you can. Soon you'll be growing 1 2 plants by his house too. And when you upgrade to growing photos, don't buy seeds. Hit me with a PM. I'll hook you up with some fire cuts.

Lol shot for the advice, will have to try to take it inside.... Sent from my SM-N970F using Tapatalk

What medium are you using? Coco? Hydro? Soil? If coco or soil, I feed nutes when required. With coco I quite like fertigation (constant watering, before the coco is allowed to dry out too much... generally multiple times per day). Soil it will vary, but I find I tend to water a flowering plant every 2 to 3 days in a 20L fabric pot. For hydro, well, only when needed. I also dislike using ml for nutes, rather look at getting an EC pen and start measuring and mixing nutes according to the EC or PPM. You will have better control over what your plants are getting.

Oh my....her stretch is going. Any advice on moving her to a new house. She has gotten mighty big, already much bigger than I'd hoped by month end. She is super happy though, 1.3m ground to tip, and 1m all round. It's just how do I move her...

Thanks @CreX. I'll check how close to flowering I am again. If its more than a week I will try the CO2 route. I still have a CO2 bottle from my aquarium plant days Thanks @Mambawana. I've increased airflow and I'm heavily misting with water for now to increase humidity. Hopefully I can limp through to harvest time and then nuke the grow room.

@Oolong83 Sorry to hear about your issues. On the onset I would like to say if you seeing webs on buds already then the chances of a fight is quite impossible. I've had spidermites in flower and I did manage to keep them at 'BAY' till the finish line. First step would be to remove any leaves that has feeding marks on it. Then remove all branches below the top of the canopy and yes that's all the branches that has medium sized buds and larfies. Last step of defence is to drop the temperature in the grow room with an aircon light ON and OFF. Spidermites thrive in warm dry conditions and by changing that you are increasing the amount of time spidermites require to lay eggs and the time it takes eggs to hatch. Hope this reaches you in time before you try nuking them with CO2 and then throwing them on a skottel with some chilli beef aromat...

You just need to miss one mite and the problem remains.... Increasing your C02 will ward them away, but you need quite a lot of Co2 for it to become effective. A skottle braai with an open flame will work. Seal your garage, put all your plants in there... And burn that bottle for a few hours with the garage closed... Temps will spike, humidity will spike up... And hopefully you can keep the most co2 you can in the garage... Alternatively you can move premises, preferably intercontinentally

I literally posted it in my first reply to your thread

Girls look good and no PM, finished week 6 yesterday, feeding at 2 EC the last 3days at 5,8 PH. Sorry for the yellow of the 3000K part of lights [emoji39]. They seem abit smaller than previous grows but then again I didn't keep track back then and hopefully they start swelling the next 2-3 weeks. GWS pistols are brown already, can it be the warm air that contributes to that. Yesterday my temps was 24-35. [emoji102] Outdoor is revegging I think.... Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Girl-scout Cookies grown in organic soil, coco-peat and perlite. This pic was taken at 14 weeks. I grew this using natural light and some love

How many pics may one enter? This is all one plant, OG kush from a bag seed, so have no idea what it really was! Also grown by the ocean, in the earth, but mixed in some of my own special soil and only organic nutes and added microbes. Pink pistils/hairs, anyone ever got them? Sadly they seemed to fade as she matured!
