@TheUltimateNoob Seed strains Some pics. Of what we should be expecting.

Seeds just Arrived!!

#5 mon tout Regardless of winning or not, this is a great place for us to let our imagination loose and share with one another, thank you 420SA. I also post all 5 pictures, as I hope ya'll enjoy them.

Scrap yards, not the car type, but old fridge repair or service centers, have old or broken possibly? You could also go for a strip of sun visor, cut to size and hanging (hey @Ill_Evan?) I too want to see one cut up That foam rubber is good stuff, it lasts and seals, and cheap enough. Make latches or catching points on the corners or the cupboard doors to pull them toward the frame if you want even better seal.

#4 Remember your Social Distancing

Hello everyone. I am a greenhorn. I tried a first outdoor grow over summer. Realized I have a lot to learn. I have been reading up online and then behold, 420sa.co.za Hopefully getting my green fingers on

She’s a looker.

No worries bro. Yeah. Definitly gona be slow upgrades from here on out. I think at this stage i have enough to get a good grow. Needa work towards that light. Will keep everyone posted. Planning towards the end of July to sprout 1 or 2 of these Autos. Veg in my lovely grow box for about the whole of August. 1 month roughly And then as that sweet September spring hits. Pop my girl/girls outside to flower. Thats the plan. Nutez should arrive by 3rd week in August. But according to everyone. Wont need any for a few weeks anyway. Really excited. Forum is great. And helpfull as possible. Enjoy to humour too. Thanks for letting me in on the community guys.

Check Growopz for strips they might have also Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Thanks guys!

There you go, that was my last recommendation and those latches are perfect for his needs. Thank you @TheUltimateNoob

I used single sided foam tape to stuck along the edge of the box to seal up the door of my grow box without light leaks getting through and used 2 toggle clamps to pull the door shut. Sorry it I'm off topic, but from what I skimmed through, I think it might help. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Nice!.. Interested to see how this goes.Sorry I haven't responded when you mentioned me bro, had a busy week. I find DIY grows a bit more entertaining to read through, there's more figuring out to do with the little tweaks and making do with what you have - it's just awesome. And I agree with@CreX , you don't need to be in a rush to upgrade... You can purchase smaller things here and there to make it easier for you, but IME it's better to save up slowly and buy something worth upgrading to. My first grow box was built out of plywood, covered in foil on the inside, used PC cooling fans for exhaust, and a USB desk fan on the inside for circulation along with some sunvisors for extra reflection vs foil. The day I got a proper light (after using 16 compact cfl bulbs for a while) was amazing. The day I got my tent... Man, that feeling was legendary. What strains are those seeds by the way?

Cool, i got some weather strip this morning as well, both 3mm and 5mm. Will play around with it and see what i can do

You can double up on the foam for areas where the door curves. So stick down one strip of foam, close door and check for light leaks. Wherever you spot a leak just put some more foam.

Right i got some water bottles near by. Box in the shower cubicle. No wiring exposed. No foil exposure anymore. So no hot spots. We safe . We safe.

Reminds me of when I needed a veg area ASAP, converted a tv stand taking up space in the garage,,, Sun visors work like a charm!

So took me some time to type out my first attempt. So basically my first attempt to germinate a seed was not successful placing the seed into water and then in a Jiffy Pod. The second seed also failed by using the seed in the water method and placing the seed in serviette and bag placed in my germination environment which include a heat pad. I germinated 2x seeds at the same time just to be safe so technically seed 3, germinated using the soaking and serviette method. So the steps below describe the day to day for Seed 3. Seed 3: White Widow CBD (Fem Autoflower) Day 1. 21st June – Placed the seed in Ph`d water around 12h00 noon. Going to leave the seed in water for approximately +-36hrs Day 2. 22nd June – Seed still in the cup of water. Day 3. 23rd June – 36 Hours later, Placed the seed in the damp serviette and placed it in my humidity environment which include a small heat pad , humidity is around 50 to 60 percent. Day 4. 25th June – Seed germinated , small root appeared. Left the baggie for around 24hrs in the humidity environment. (Pic 1) (Pic 2) Day 5. 26th June – Root is around 2cm long, (Pic1) transferred the seed to a Jiffy Pot. (Pic 2) Placed it into humidity environment. Day 6. 27th June – Huge surprise this morning, The seedling was standing 2cm tall. 2x Yellow Leaves (Pic3) (Pic 3) (Pic 4) Day 7. 28th June – Yellow leaves turned green, and seedling is doing well. Removed the Seedling from the Jiffy pod, and planted into a small cup. Cup was filled with Formula 1 grow medium that have been flushed out and watered PH level 6.1. The Seedlings is placed under my new LED lights system.(Pic 4) 150w Lumiled 2d 3030 Leds currently around 60cm away from seedling. Keeping humidity between 30 and 40 percent to encourage the seedling to pull water from the soil and stimulate root growth. Tent temperature around 20-26 degrees. Before After Day8. 29th June – Day 12 3rd July – Steady Growth, watered three days after replanting. Day 16 7th July – Transplanted to a bigger container on the 5th, Steady Growth, Plant really loving the bigger space.

Awesome, glad I could help. And apologies for the typos in the previous post, lol, was in a bit of a rush. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Thought we lost you... Love the progress since last time, got your EC and pH dialed in.

DWC Update | Week 4 Going to try and stick to Monday updates. Things have really started to take off! Super impressed with my 320W Quantum Bar setup! The internodal spacing is extremely good!! Plants are absolutely loving life. I have increased Nutrient Solution from 0,5 EC to 1,2 EC pH 6,3 Nutrients will stay at this strength until i flip to flower. Other than that they will all get "topped" either tmrow or the day after.

@StickyD420 haha can imagine that smell... Now I feel like having a smoke. Will be back soon

Flower Day 15. For now most of my work is done here. Tent filled out corner to corner, did the last hard defoliation, hopefully. They got their last BioNeem and BioPhyta foliage treatments. Top dressed with DE, Tricho, Myco and some Dolomite Lime. Covered the pots to the tops with some more FF premium classic. Giving AACT as often as possible, at least once a week and just 7.0ph water inbetween. Recipe for AACT is FF premium classic, Liquid Vermipure, Molasses, Tricho. (Playing it safe till I get to know the ropes) Here they are pre-defo:(30 June) Post-defo:(6 July)

Tbh, I'm not a fan of "driverless" LEDs. Capacitive droppers generate huge amounts of heat & that's just too inefficient. I got some lights from a guy in plumstead that makes them, busy testing them with my 1st tent grow, so far so good. Only 110w wall draw, so I'll see how it goes. The 100w blurple bar I got from him is still running after 3 years. I might put it in the tent if they need a bit more light. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

I got pretty much everything from Jamie’s garden shop. The staff are really friendly as well. Highly recommend

Just check with the company you order from, that they reduce the price for customs.. Customs are greedy bitches. So rather deserve this. Charged me double the import fees on the LED boards compared to the drivers. I also redesign my drivers. You can't run a single board on a 240H-48 .. makes zero sense as the draw is way to much and the board gets to hot. With 2 boards on a 240 driver, they run as expected and waaaaaay colder. So I get 120H-48B for 2 boards. Then I can run 3 boards and stay below 400 watt consumption. Ordered the 120 watt drivers..

Nice clone setup, mind sharing your misting and temp setup? I'd have on and off success with cloning,recently build a small bucket cloner in the hopes that I wouldnt have to mist to get cloning as I think thats where im going wrong.

Not sure where to get the magnetic seals so will try out the weather strips first

Interveinal chlorosis is usually an iron, zinc or manganese deficiency if not a heat/air/root issue. I would reduce the amount of grow & flower nutes & up the micro a bit Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Yes bro I have some spare space blanket. I think I'll use a combination of the foam and space blanket

This guy knows what's up

@III_Evan theres ur sunvisors bro

@ORGANinc. Ur stuff is wayyyy neater than mine.

Is that sommer raw aluminium foil in a cardboard box? Eish brah fire hazard. The foil could cause hot spots and isn't as reflective as we think. I rate you'd do better painting the inside white or using mylar sheets.

And week 7 as promised. Cam position got changed. Placed the cam up on the Fan rack now. If it gets over grown there.. I have bigger issues hehehe And sorry for the skew cam, the plant close to it had other ideas how it should be pointed

My very first harvest

And here are the Gorillas.. middle week 7. I run a bit into space problems with the cam ^^ Day 4 Week 7

Clone sesh...

Dont worry mate, my first 2 attempts failed. I tried heating mats, humidity domes etc and then found what works for me. Putting the seeds in paper towel in a bank bag under my modem. Leave for 72 hours and check, have popped 4 from 4 since. By the way you have some interesting looking lights there, what are the specs if you dont mind me asking.

If that's the only condition, then you have yourself a deal!!!

Procedure is rather simple. The auto gene is recessive but due to its unique character easy to spot. PP, Pp, pP will be photo plants you need pp to be an auto. When you made your cross from the Auto with the Photo, those seeds you put under 24/0 light, the Autos will flower, the photos not. Remove the photos, breed the remaining flowering into seeds and the result must be pure autos. I have regular Ruderalis here on Wednesday ^^ then I start my Swazi Gold Auto and Chocolato Project.

Most likely both sites.. i am not done with selling autos down here

Yo man! I am busy selecting plants to take forward to the next flower round and I have some that won't fit my space. If you're keen then they are yours... I'm also in midrand area. Hit me up with a PM if you're interested

Yoh guys. Lots of advise. Need to have a think about it now. Maybe getting some good seeds might be the easiest solution for now. Honestly the lights that i have were just to extend daylight hours in this winter period of ours. Not realy to be used for full on veg. I thought it would make a bit of a difference compared to having just really short days. Indoor grows. Amazing. Would love to do it. But probably not in the next year or so. Space and setup cost for that is what holds me back. Wont be trying that for the next year or so. Ideally i would just love to grow a plant or 2 on the balcony outdoors. In a pot. For now. I think im gona keep these going for abit longer. Fingers crossed. But really apreciate u guys taking the time for the advise. Thanks guys. Anyone feel like donating a clone or 2?

Nice, well done. Very neat area with easy access.Is this a 1.3m x 1.3 m grow? I didnt see you mention the grow area only the garage space. Damn that light is 10k ?

they do that by them self.. have no influence on it. If you want fast plants, look for 8 weeks time seed to harvest.. or just trust me and get some Fastbuds Gelatos.. they will also give you a mouthgasm and hit like a donkey The Gorillas grow fine, I expect not less than 70g per plant.

You bastard!!! Your autos are entering flowering already!? Fuck this... I'm gonna get a small handful of autos and give them a go... You can't keep out shining us all like this man

Day 4 Week 3 Day 16 - Day 19.. I let the cam run on time laps from now on. Nice to see them do their slow dance
