Aweh everyone, I'm glad to have stumbled across a local forum. Seems like there is a good vibe in here. I've been growing outdoors in coco, this is my 3rd grow, So I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of you experienced growers. At the moment I have 2 GG#4 and 3 critical CBD plants which I got from Nirvana seeds. They are approximately 6 weeks into flower. I also have 1 super cheese plant which I got as a clone from a friend, I put her in the ground. I'll put some pics up. I have a question. Is it too late in the season to grow an auto flower plant outdoors? I'm thinking of getting a Gelato auto flower to plant outdoors, in a fabric pot. Thanks. ... I'm struggling to add attachments of existing pictures from my phone. I'll post pics when I figure it out.

ok guys, its been a few days and im starting to think i should maybe flush this girl. I almost started the flush today but i thought id just wait it out an extra day or 2 Its starting to look swole af. Also i checked the Trichs. Mostly Cloudy. the main colas are like 100% cloudy. The bottom popcorns are mostly cloudy. Still no signs of amber trichs.

Hey, Actually i was planning to do exactly as you suggest. Ive been down the anxiety path many times. im not scared to take it again to try this out. But i also thought i would like to try mixing the High cbd with a high THC - maul it up nicely and bong it as hard as i can to see what happens lol

They are still going strong still no actual nutrients given. Green Crack, Sapphire OG, green Crack and OG Kush. In that order. 2 Crack Phenos Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

hehe I remember as teenagers we would always challenge each other to see who has the highest tolerance lol, then once passed the point of no return you would get greenies or yellow fever as we called it, we had some friend who thought they could smoke , a nice indoor cheese in a fat bong took many guys out, first cold sweats, face color changing like a chameleon, cant stand eventually,puke and be crippled for the next few hours, I have even seen someone have like a seizure / low bloods pass out and wake up like nothing happened. Much older now 30's, tolerance is very high, I remember smoking a moon rock in a bong a while back, that was like taking a hit of crack lol, I have never done crack, my eyes will spinning like a slot machine was really strong but, after a while tolerance builds ups, I found I was always chasing a stronger high that I could never go back to, I decided no more moon rocks or dabs as it was going to another level. I just hit Js and odd bong now. Funny story the other day we went for a Boys day fishing at the vaal, our one buddy who is not a stoner or smoker who always take a puff or 2 of our joints(indoor) while fishing with us would not really ever get stoned we made sure he was inhaling it properly but the effects never really seemed to get to him ( fitness freak) we tried many times over the years. Soo long story short, we were on the road at 3 am, me and my buddy surprised him with some edibles (first time) I bought some gummies 100 mg and my buddy brought a brownie, gave him half the gums ( 50mg) and he had half of the brownie, once we reached the vaal, we had to drive on a dirt farm road for 40ish KM to get to our fishing spot, he was sitting in the backseat of the double cab, we noticed he was really quite we looked back to see him with a smile from ear to ear, he was on a space rocket ride lol and was laughing his head off the whole time, enjoying every second of being proper goofed for the first time, this put me and my bud in such a great vibe, we were super amped to get fishing, got to our sopt around half 5 in the morning, fresh cold air, water looking like glass, set up gear and ready to cast, awesome ! Our buddy mumbled to us that he don't think he can cast his bait properly, he casted like 20 meters we giggled at him and he sat down on his chair...... and that was the end of him, he never got up again KO........ eventually he was not looking too good we bucketed him over the head with cold water, kind of woke him up a little bit, forced him to try and eat something, had a few bites out KO again lol only woke up when we got to the wimpy, a cheese burger and coffee shake fixed him up , he said he should of just stayed at home cause he never got to fish lol, me and my buddy caught loads of fish. Turns out my buddies brownie was like 500MG so we did the maths, 50MG+250MG is what raped his soul, he had the gummies first so I think that why he was enjoying it soo much until the 250MG kicked him in his P.....s lol We tease him every time we see him, and I always send him pics of new edibles acquired and tell him to come get his breakfast lol, we all laugh together like small children :) Cant wait for our next fishing trip and a lower dose for him.

Howzit @Apoche Alypse - welcome to the Forum. Certainly a place to learn and chat with equally motivated growers.

Shit @NinjaMaster , do you have any seeds from that sounds like the bombay dog!!! Assuming this is not caused by moldy weed, which is what happens a lot of the time to people, here are a few tips from a old puffer. Remember to breathe, this is why you smoked that potent herb, to get the thc through the system, then tell yourself its legal so you wont end up arrested, at the same time remind yourself nobody has died from weed. Then grab a nice LEMON, a glass of some nice water, squeeze about half a lemon into the glass, gooi in a half a teaspoon of salt, stir it up well and drink up. This is also for people that get too baked on edibles. What usually happens is your blood pressure is dropping like a rock, irregular breathing or some other things that your system needs to process, for some reason lemon water with salt works like a charm. Advice is from edible users Colorado USA where i first heard it

I got this mesmerising close-up shot of the stem of my Power Plant. She is 3.3 meter tall and just over 6 months old.

I have been joining sosatie sticks in an L-shape to train some of my plants to grow lower than my wall height so that people don't spot the top of my plant. So far so good. This one is probably going to make 10 main colas. They are getting the same sun at the same height. Let's see the end result

Going green is the only way...

Good afternoon everyone, going through the plants and checking if everything is okay I came across something terrible (I think). Does anyone what this is? This is on a DWC setup and only one pot has it. Brown roots are due to AACT

I rate do your 5 day flush then harvest. May just, just catch an amber trichome during the flush. My

yes ive read that CBD can bring down the THC effects. which, for me is very good. I find high CBD gives me a nice body feel too.

yeah man. i usually flush for 5 days. i water my coco to runoff. i take the plants and put them in the bath tub every single night and water until there is about 20% runoff. to avoid buildup I also nute lightly. But do you think i should let it go longer lol? i mean ive made it this far. or do u rate im just wasting time now and i should start flushing? This is basically my first time letting a sativa just go as long as it wants. i usually stick with indica.

Nice one bud! Looks tasty af As for the flush, you can measure the EC of the runoff to see how much salt has built up in your "soil" and so decide how long you should flush. This is just my opinion though but I'd think more salt build-up would indicate that your plant is "full" (assuming that you were increasing nutes gradually and it's not build-up from an initial massive dose, in which case the plant probably wouldn't have survived anyway ) whereas if there isn't much build up, it'd mean she's probably not as full (unless you were feeding the exAct amount of nutes necessary). People who have huge salt build-up need to flush for longer to remove all those excess salts. If you use a grow bag you can actually see the salt build up around the sides of the bag. If you're not heavy handed on nutes, 5 days flush is long enough for peace of mind

Been thinking about this. If it is eggs, maybe some good 'ol H2O2 and a spray bottle aimed just at the eggs and around the net pot might do the job. Depending on the stasis of your reservoir you can decide for yourself if any of the H2O2 can fall into it. But I'd need someone to confirm that's a good idea

@Dank yeah i also think its eggs. Jeez

@Ill_Evan plant was looking bad but that was due to root rot but that has gone away since giving teas. Roots are healthy, the top has recovered nicely with green healthy growth. The plant is actually getting better the last 2 weeks, there is no slime on the roots or res, only feeding AACT in the Res. I think this plant was in a small container with some soil, then moved to the net pot with some perlite and became a hydro plant.

Got stuck into her and trimmed out a lot of the under growth that never made it to the top. Removed about 30%. Now she can focus her energy on those meter long colas. There are 14. I only LSTed this plant once when she was at 8 nodes.

Charlottes Angel is what I grew and have tried so far in terms of low THC. I also grew a 1:1 high CBD strain. Once the Charlottes Angel is ready, perhaps you'd be willing to try smoking some Charlottes Angel then 30 min later take a larger than your usual hit of a high THC strain which you know normally makes you anxious or paranoid and let us know whether the CBD strain helps prevent the negative sides?

I can get lost in my own little cannabis forest daily.

Welcome to the forum @Apoche Alypse , put your feet up, light up a fatty and enjoy your stay!

No worries still early days, I usually just rub on a lower sugar leaf, avoiding to touch the pistils, best time is early morning, after sunset or in the dark period (most terps). When she gets a bit older im sure she will be giving off smells without having to touch, even in the middle of the day.

I smelled her but no smells yet. I thought I had a mintyness come through but then I thought I smelled fruityness and then it all disappeared. Guess my mind is playing tricks on my senses so I'll wait patiently till she fills out and develops proper smells

Things are quite far along now and results are sadly disappointing. I weeded a few males out and a couple went hermy which was fine because I had to many to deal with. One Diesoline stayed potted in my sheltered yard with full sun. Weekly Seagrow and Firejuice for the last month or so. Small buds formed but she seems to be maturing early with brown pistils on the tiny buds: I planted other plants out in my front yard. Also full sun, but blasted by the wind and needed propping up with bamboo - some of which actually snapped due to the intensity of the Cape Doctor. But again tiny buds that are already showing signs of brown pistils. One win is the plant that I gave to my mother-in-law is flourishing in the old age home garden and all the residents are showing a keen interest is how it is developing. At least they are not too worried about the size of the buds.

Did not read all the posts, although I find this quite interesting. I have had friends who have struggled with paranoia and cannabis, not panic attacks though. I have had a friend of mine pass out after smoking and seen another person pass out after vaping some decent indoor weed I had... The latter was directly after eating some food I cooked so I thought he perhaps was having an allergic reaction or something - got me worried actually. I have experienced some paranoia although I know that it stems from the weed and I am able to manage it, never had a panic attack from weed though. The worst experience was probably eating edible when I was sick and at a party and had flu, I felt bad and ended up throwing up. I read an article about weed being mature vs immature and the affects one with regards to REM sleep and anxiety & paranoia etc. Dabbled with it slightly and from what I was able to tell it did seem to increase (paranoia, anxiety, feeling groggy the next morning) with weed which had not matured. I will also be curious as to how someone experiencing some paranoia or anxiety would feel after smoking a good high CBD strain or a CBD strain with less than 1% THC as I find this does calm one down quite heavily and relax someone. I have some high CBD, low THC bud but don't really suffer from this issue so been hard for me to test it properly however I know that @CreX also found that smoking a high CBD, low THC strain first and then moving onto the high THC stuff helped him avoid paranoia / anxiety. Perhaps he can share more of his experience and what it did for him etc. I do believe that cannabis, like other psychoactive substances, is affected by mindset and your setting. It may be more inclined to push you more into one direction (positive), however can certainly push you in the other even without you noticing or by having some stuff sitting in your sub-conscious.

The greenhouse is my personal space, to enjoy one of my serious hobbies, helps to switch off, unplug and slow shit down a bit and I can get lost in there.... My prettier half shares my passion for the herb and we share the responsibilities. She's got the trimming(with my assistance) drying and curing down to an artsy type of science. I even enjoy the sourcing of organic ingredients and amendments as part of the endeavour. I love looking for and finding alternatives especially if they are free, just go look in nature. (Many times a lot more sweat involved) Then even the mixing of my soil turns into a therapeutic exercise. At the end of the day we can enjoy pure, clean, tasty and organic herb that we grew ourselves. That is something that you cannot put a price on. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Eishhh.... heard too many similar stories. As a first time smoker, just ease into it. Take one or a few small puffs at first and wait for the effects, then decide if you need more. Edibles are a little different cause it takes longer to get into your system, that's where noobs make the mistake, they don't wait long enough and end up having too many. It's a question of dosage and tolerance. One thing that pisses me off when ''experienced'' smokers hand a noob a joint or a bong and tell them to ''hit'' it and the poor oke gets next level stoned/NDE. Everybody has the freedom to choose but they get put off totally when the first experience is over the top. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

It happens to so many people that I think a user has to be really naive to think that weed has nothing to do with panic attacks and paranoia but I personally don't think weed is the direct cause. I reckon its a person's mind and their ego. To me cannabis multiplies an emotion. If you're happy, cannabis will make it even better. If you're chilled, cannabis will make you more chilled. If you're worried about something, cannabis will make you even more worried about it to the point that you can't breathe. If you think that you're gonna die, cannabis will make you feel pretty damn convinced that you will. Cannabis is a mild psychedelic. The very same things happen to people who've had bad trips on acid, thinking they're dying, can't breathe etc. You're wrestling with your ego and that's where the panic attacks come in. You have to be in the right mind space. If you can just calm your mind or get your mind off those negative thoughts you'll notice how you come right again. I've experienced the very same things, especially where breathing is concerned. Also times when I feel like I'm gonna pass out. This always happens when I'm sitting and not doing much. If I'm out being mobile it never happens. Which to me shows me that it's in my mind Just my

Excellent advice! One thing i can add - for some reason - having a solid stretching session always seems to help as well. If you feel shit after too much toke - try going for a solid 15 minute stretch session if you can. hold the stretches for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Doesnt matter what position / body part you stretch. just find something that needs a good stretch and do it. And yeah - for 100% sure my weed has no mould and i have very good ventilation. I always inspect my weed for mould when watering and harvesting.

Ive had the "Im going to die" trip from smoking too much strong weed. Ive had the I cant breathe - im definitely gonna die as well. My weed was definitely not laced however - as i grew it myself. I think its always a good idea to be real and stick to smoking a little bit at first. see how you feel. and then have some more. you can always have more. but you cant go back and undo a massive bong hit.

Beautiful grow, proving that smoking dank does not need to break the bank

I live in the northern suburbs of Cape town and could still grow outside until June last year. It depends on the weather though. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

We rig some protection. Shadenet windbreaks or greenhouses. But heat and humidity can be a pita if there's not enough ventilation. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

An autoflowers should do just fine. Grew some outdoors right through winter but, our winters are much milder than CPT. Depending on the cooler temps a purple lady might just be able to show some colours. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
