Whats good 420SA fam! I am always trying to learn more about sustainable practices, whether its for growing my own veggies or Cannabis outdoors. After lurking around on the organic vs synthetic thread, I believe the only sustainable way forward is regenerative farming practices. I am guilty of buying a bottle of nutrients now and then, but the truth is, these products have a huge carbon footprint, even the "organic" ranges. Please share your thoughts and ideas about regenerative farming practices, if you are already busy with it, share some tips and tricks with us.

Greetings all I'm quite chuffed to be part of the 420SA community. Been on the forum for a few weeks now. Mostly reading and things before attempting any actual growing. Much impressed by skill and knowledge of the lads here! Soon as I start my first grow I will let you guys in. Back to the books for me happy growing l!

Awesome to see someone else as amazed with the double as I am. A four leaf clover! The plant is going fantastic, no signs of abnormal growth, the lower leaf shows my week of neglect, but fixed that quickly. Doing some daily LST to get the lower branches going.

@CreX thanks buddy! im not really sure. I want to start with 1 plant. maybe the hydroponic route with coco perlite mix in maybe a 25- 30l pot indoors and hand water? Still trying to figure out which LED light would be best for 1-2 plants though. budget of around 2k for a light will do my best to start growing by next week sometime. What strains would you recommend for first timer like me? @SkunkPharm Hospitality Management china. Was working as bartender travelling alot now I'm settling down as wannabe budtender and going back to my roots so to speak. lol

Awé, what are you studying?

Thanks for the read, and man you have a sharp eye. Its not over watering or root issues... I neglected them for the past day and a half, and they've missed their watering, going a day and a half too long without having a drink. I've finally managed to get a break to give them some water after taking those pictures. I feed the 4 different pH levels throughout the week, not 4 times a day. Sorry about the ambiguity.

The buds - The one - 36g The other one - 67g I live near the ocean and all the sand is white beach sand with just enough minerals to feed the indiginous flora really and a few other real prolific plants, such as cannabis. I have a bedding that's composted about 30cm deep and I've added about 5 or 6 layers of compost over the last 2 years or so. Just to keep the garden alive really, have grown these two plants with no other ferts than whats in the compost and just water from the hose. They turned a bit yellow and then one day the leaves started to die back, there was nothing I could have done to save them, or well the one more so than the other, but I chopped both. They smell fucking amazing, almost sour fruity kinda smells, hard to describe they still curing and it's still changing. Anyway, this grow is done! Wish I could've pushed the flowers a little more! Will fertilize the soil a bit better and pop few more seed when the time is right.

Thanks for the help@CreX . This is my first time trying to grow and I didn't spend much on quality products. I knew the soil was going to be a problem, I just wanted to know exactly whats the exact problem so that I'll know next time.

Yeah gee whizz, plant looks almost perfectly trained there. Definitely going to try my hand at this at some point.

My snap #2. Grown outdoor. This plant was 2 Meters tall from the ground up! Swazi Skunk. Hope you like it.

Blueberry Kush #3 ,the muffin pheno, sticky icky

Just short a propogator tent!

This is my PCG Cookies x Keylime Pie.

My snap #1. Hope you like it.

It's genetic though, especially with cotelydons. It already contains the required nutrients for a while at that stage. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I imagine so too. When I searched for it, they say when you have really good growth/excessive growth it can happen to. Very cool.

I reckon it could be either, could be a once off mutation or a mutation which has been bred into this strain (either on purpose or by mistake / luck). Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Another week, and she's starting to fill out all the space in her buds. About a month left. She is maturing bottom up, and foxtailing pretty evenly. Her terpene profile has also completely changed on me. Hardly any bubblegum, but citrus and chocolate.

Blue cheese and WeddingCake aerial view.

The double cotyledon leaves? I have never seen that. Interesting! Is it this specific strain or just something that can happen?

Another week, some progress. She is still pushing pistils like crazy...got to wonder when she is planning on finishing. She's practically only just past half way now. Have a snail infestation that is literally ringbarking this girl, so I made a copper collar around her base. Hopefully it'll keep those bastards I couldn't find away. I'll be hunting daily now for the next few weeks.

The final choice for breeding Wedding Cake Amnesia

Yeh its true, I think that big one was almost ready to become a ladybug. They love the aphids as well as spidermites (only pests i could observe them with) and the coolest thing about the larvae is that do not fly, so they just hang around the infested plant until the food source runs out. Thanks a lot man, I really need a better camera, and skillset for those National Geographic shots! Well said man, sounds like your compost heap is pumping out the chitin and frass. Those fruitchafers can cause a bit of nag when they pull into the weedplants, but I rarely find them on weed, they always going after some fruit tree by the looks of it. A bigger issue i found is their grubs eat roots, devastating for a small plant in a pot. I dont bother them though, they are not like locusts. Ladybird larvae will usually be around a aphid infestation, this year started off quite bad with aphids, so I have been lucky spotting and observing them. Try growing a rose bush in a pot if you still not having pests for the ladybirds, roses are pest magnets. Ladybuggos prefer to breed and lay eggs nearby a source of water, they need nectar from smallish flowers (like yarrow,fennel,blackeyed-susans, etc) and then off course they need some pests to eat. Sorry for the late reply guys, hope errybody having a lekker holiday season! PS - Did you know? Ladybugs live between 2 to 3 years on average (in nature).

Whats good 420SA fam!? Wanted to post a update on this thread about regenerative practices outdoors. This year I am trying to help ladybirds/ladybugs multiply in the garden. Even natural pest control methods as harmless as a neem mix is enough to kill ladybug larvae, so this spring I decided to leave a few rose bushes infested with aphids to see what happens. To the complete shock and horror of my better half, the rose bushes were covered in aphids about a month ago, but the first ladybirds arrived then and there was some ladybug breeding going on. A month later, the bushes probably have about 20 - 30 ladybird larvae on them, aphids have been destroyed and the little guys are chasing around looking for the last to feast on. The only downside I see is there is a lot of larvae frass on the leaves from the feasting, left untreated will cause blackspot mold, etc. A fair price, i will remove leaves and prune soon as the larve are grown up amd leave their nursery. So all these years I have been killing ladybird larvae, by treating aphids in a "natural" way. Here are some pictures of my new pets
