Yo @1000Hills Nursery super stoked they are alive and well, surving the darkness and the cold The leaves were advice from a orchid guru that ships live plants around. I didnt have any low ec cococoir or dried moss to package them, so i went for the dried leaves. Its a big pleasure brother, i hope that they bring u lots of growing and perhaps breeding joy! Sure thing man, so the Exodus Cheese cut is a old mom down here by the coast, and definitely verified by the community. Was donated to me as a contribution to my library. The Weddingcake cut was donated to me as well, i have no info on it except, "Its Weddingcake... or BirthdayCake, same thing really". She is super loud and stoney, not for first time smokers. Lots of gas accompanied by sweetness, almost a rum and raisins Icecream. The CBD Heavy was also donated to me, info is also vague, except that it might be related to the Otto #2 cut in Colorado. This is true medical weed. Onto the seeds, the Dankstar Kush is a strain i worked on in the illegal days, they are from 2015 (i hope they pop!). My Afghani and Hindu Kush selection with hints of my Blueberry from their great grandparents. Plants should be a bit more squat than average hybrids these days, couple of phenotypes, but smoke should be a creamy earthy sweetness, some are very close to a good charas, some lean more to a kind of vanilla kush. The Strawberry Bubblegum Kush is a hybrid of the Chocolate Kush daddy onto a rare AK 47 Strawberry Bubblegum pheno. I lost the mom unfortunately. Should be some Strawberry and hopefully Bubblegum terps coiming out in this cross, u will be sifting these beans before me. Ill hopefully get to pop a couple this season. The Chocolate Hashberry Kush is a F1 IBL cross from the Chocolate Kush male and a mystery mom from California. I was only given details about the dad in this cross. So the Chocolate Kush daddy comes from a clone only plant in California called Chocolope Cheese (the mom), she was crossed with a select Moroccan Hashplant male. Excpect a boquet of Cali bud, u testing these before me as well, should be good, enjoy em! Two packets with 20 beans each are kids from the same daddy. He is the first stud i featured here

You sly dog you You make me weak at the knees brah!

These Sativas just love outdoors.

Buy a dehumidifier or be prepared to fight this forever

Our outdoor grows only recieves rainwater, collected from the roof. Have a pressure pump rigged up on a manifold system to send it where we need it, including the circulation line for aeration. Rain water is usually collected from rooftops etc... and will include some dodgy bits, hadeda/hammerkop poop and gecko carcasses, which will contain bacteria. If you collect from the roof think about installing some pre filtration to keep the solids(leaves twigs) out and a sediment filter for the dust and sand. You will need to seal it properly because it will attract mosquitos. Circulation is good to keep the water aerated. A maintenance dose of hydrogen peroxide will also help keep the bacteria in check. Have a look on google and decide what will work best for your setup. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Now to the cherry on top.... Beanz... Beanz... Beanz... I'm not gonna eloborate to much on these beanz as we plan on dropping them right away and will be start a grow diary for them. @Dank brother thank you again for this amazing priceless gift. If you can please share some info on these beanz and the cuts you sent me.

What's quite remarkable is that this parcel spent 3 days in darkness whilst it made its trip to me. I have never seen cuttings packed the way they were with wet dead leaves from the garden. When I unpacked them they were in great shape considering. Here they are making themselves at home amongst their new sisters and a few brothers. @Dank wonderful job... All the cuttings you sent look like they gonna root...

420sa... Hope you all blazing some homegrown... Firstly I would like to thank @Dank for initiating this. I see this growing and connecting the community on another level. Some background... I've been searching for a decent cheese cut to replace the cut I lost. Unfortunately every pack I popped produced nothing close to what I was looking for. Recently I was gonna have another go at hunting for a cheese when I got into talking with fellow forum member @DankHe was kind enough to share some of the finer details with regards to breeding. Long story short oneday he hits me up... He has a verified danky exodus cheese cut... Fast foward a couple weeks and this rocks up on my doorstep... To date the most special gift I've ever received So what you seeing here is 2 x rooted Exodus Cheese clones. And then some live cuttings. Wedding Cake CBD Heavy Exodus cheese So out came the cloning gear and I had those babies in some coco plugs and in the dome in no time.

This is my second one I'm doing like this, seems to work, only thing I put in a seperate container is the teabag with some FF premium and local soil from a healthy patch. I also scoop 1L from the vortex and add my molasses to that and stir till that's dissolved and pour it back. Luckily I have liquid vermi pure so add that directly to the vortex. Then I have a bunch of microbial addatives, but decided to go with "eco-T" as it dissolves in the water itself where as the mycorrizhae will just float and I already got it mixed in the soil aswell as the mycoroot from hortishop, but those are small stones so I will keep them out for now. Anyway, here is my pooptea

Fresh fruit smells when I open the tent, canopy very uneven because of the Super Lemon Haze just being almost 2 or 3 weeks behind the others, but also just seems like a smaller plant? Flower Day 21 Super Lemon Haze Cheese Blueberry Banana Hammock Peep from outside

Nothing but love for the 420SA fam @CreX !

I only know 1 person I can ask... Will probably know by Friday bro. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

AQ sf is Ampelomyces quisqualis. I've heard Prom say Serenade works well, so if you're keen to import perhaps try that too. I feel AQ sf is best used as a preventative but it can work in controlling an outbreak too, although Serenade sounds better for an outbreak. I'd also look at putting the heater inside the tent, instead of having it blow through ducting. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Cold and maybe roots a bit wet. Doesnt look like anything to worry about. Allow the medium to dry out a bit more.

Perfect, I have experienced before the transplanting and have the carry on as nothing happens. I was intrigued by the the fact that you might know why the leaves wouldn't stand up the day after transplanting them, as I have had that once before in the start of this, but not again. Always wondered what that might have been causing it not to praise the light or lift awake. Had thought unhappy roots.

Hey bud. If the tanks are SABS approved and of the colour variety, ie: green, you good to go. 5000l will keep you going for a long time. It is a good idea to rotate the water from one tank to the other if you can. After about 2 week's water goes flat so this process aerates the water. Or find yourself one of those fish tank air thingy majiky's and drop that in your tank, switch on every now and again and you'll be ok. If you have a pump, hook the hose pipe up and circulate the water back into top of tank. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

How is it going? I can recommend using AQ sf, bio organics sell it - they're based in cape Town but will ship. Other retailers sell it too, such as Jamie's garden shop. It basically eats away the PM, although takes a bit of time to get working as it's spores which need to germinate. Safe to use during flower. Also removing leaves and having a fan in your tent, the pm spores have already spread. I was thinking of trying one of those disinfectant foggers which kill all microbes and spores for fungus and mould etc to clean out my tent and equipment between grows - have not yet tried it but I think it could work. Get it blowing through my extraction fan and oscillating fans and onto my lights etc. Milk and water also works, if you're in a hurry mixing the AQ sf with milk seems to work well, the milk helps control the pm straight away and then the AQ sf takes over a little later although you still need to continue to spray, I'd say at least once a week to ensure it remains under control, last thing you want is for the pm to blow up before harvest. I haven't tried vinegar or bicarb, I'm not sure how I feel about using neem on plants in flower and I'd also suggest using a neem oil made for plants specially and not the one from Dischem (it may even be cheaper than the dischem one). Agro organics also sell a neem oil as do Neudorff. I have heard that keeping your temps between 22 and 26 can help prevent the pm spores from germinating and therefore ensure you do not end up with pm on your plants - never tried it myself and probably a little late for you. You'd need a heater and decent thermostat to achieve that though. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I'd guess discolouration, droopiness, stunted growth and/or bad vibes.

Chop it. Grow propper indoor.

The leaves drooping or standing up can be used as a way to see at what distance of hanging the light does your tree get around its optimal respiration rate at. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

To my understanding and from what I've experienced, droopy leaves can mean 3 things (although it's not limited to these factors only as humidity and incorrect VPD can also cause it amongst other things). So the 3 main things are; Overwatering Dehydration Incorrect root zone pH If leaves are drooping when the plant isn't dehydrated, it may mean your light is too close. If the water or light isn't an issue, then pH is a likely culprit - pH problems usually exhibit wrinkly leaves and a variety of Discolouration. Sometimes different strains are just sensitive. The standing up or "praying" leaves usually means your light is just around the right distance... If it's too severe and the leaves look to be reaching up too much, the light may be too far up. If the leaves look to be drooping a bit but the tree is in good health, it may be trying to get away from such intense lighting (cannabis becomes CO2 limited after a certain point, I think above 1200umol of PAR) Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Brother @Bospatrollie2 Your knowledge on water is impressive and I'm learning here too with regards to all this as I concentrated mostly on growing and not the water storage or what to clean it with and so on, blessed for the information. Funny enough, yesterday started watching a new series on Netflix, called Down to Earth, and the second episode tonight, is all about water, how is that for coincidence. They actually mentioned that pure or RO water was bad for humans, as it would being clean of minerals, search and suck them from our bodies, being bad. Also they visited a place in France, and the one plant has a oxygenating cylinder or tub and blast air, and they recon it's even better than chlorine or anything out there, but that is a major setup and could never do a small growers budget unfortunately. Again thank you for your knowledge.

Excellent information and thank you for sharing. Bottomline is I am going to stick to what I am doing. My plants are only watered from a separate rain water tank, no additives. Used to be very proud of my drinking water, mainly rain water and spring water from a few kms away. Sad reality is today, I said aloud to my partner, my entire water system needs an update. Its 10 years old already, drips, leaks, rusted connectors. Gulp, money money money but going to make something better. Thank you again.

Hydrogen Peroxide can be used for larger volume water purification. The dosages need to be spot on or it will oxidize too quickly and not ''clean'' the water properly. The dosage volumes also make it impractical. Adding half a cup of chlorine or Jik is much easier than lugging litres of peroxide. Testing for free chlorine in water is also much more convenient.

Hey Chris, If I may, I believe that the peroxide is better as its H202 and basically water, with another O2 molecule, so after the peroxide has scrubbed the water clean, it will become water essentially. Still not sure which is better for cleaning, but imagine the peroxide would be safer for the plants or personal use after treatment has been done.

@Bospatrollie2 Nice info. We been using bleach as a way to keep the bacteria in check, would you suggest peroxide rather? Something else that helps us is a settling tank. We pump borehole to the settling resiviour with a small filter ( homemade LECA and charcoal ) about knee deep. I clean out the muck about once a year. It then pumped to main tanks, one is a settling tank again and the other is the main pumping tank. The settling tanks really have helped, helped with the basic filters ( string and charcoal ) coming into the house.

Is that UV C? Although, a tent is not 100% air tight so spores can enter from places other than the inline fan and when you open the tent too.. I've heard having UV B lights can help with mould and fungus too, never tried myself though. Also don't think it's going to stop an outbreak of pm but could perhaps help reduce the likelihood of it happening. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

You going in the right direction, and can add to that later I also laughed at your last comment, not the previous

Don't expect much. I am just chuffed that growopz got me going on a really tight budget. A step up from cfl's and something I can add onto at a later date. How many more sleeps, ma? Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

I gave him my cabinet size a my dismal budget keeping in mind I have a power supply. He gave me 2 options,diy and plug ( wire up ) and play. I opted for plug and play. Not sure what, I left that for him to decide on what my power supply is capable of. I'll start a back dated photo journal soon. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Super excited. Sounds like Growopz has something for me. Man, I'm gonna be like a kid waiting for the tooth fairy to see when I can collect. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

It's a weed, it doesn't like to be soaking wet, wants to hunt for water and prefer the full swing from wet to dry.

Morning boys[emoji1689] So wake and bake all done properly with some warm pancakes this morning after the labour the past few 48 hours. Shoto for the reply@Psyclown. I’ll def be looking into AQ. So far cleaned the tent, defoliated only a few leaves infected but still cleaned the girls up. Just hope I sorted the spores out. Now that you mention it we have these fogging things at work that kill all air-born and surface viruses and fungus spores and it safe. I’ll look into those, if they not an option have you found any spray can defoggers like that, I’ll google now as well. Drench my coco with ph water and neem, that was 48h ago I’m going to drench coco again only this time with feed and until run off, take readings. I’ve been keeping HR at about 55 for the last 48h dehumidifier set at 50. Heating I made a plan, not the best way to heat but I think it’s working and possibly cost affective. I’ll post a pic now of the set up and explain. So temps have been lights on constant 26 and lights out 18. On a unrelated topic. Would you guys suggest that with Freedom farm soil the green bag I could get away with Biozbizz bloom and Fishmix for autos considering the soil has been primed? Also would I add warmcastings or just microbs and if so any suggestions to add with those two from Biobizz. I’ll send pics now of hearing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Howzit bro. Do you know how many cc or liters per minuite ur pump is? And possible pressure it works at. Keep that pressure head as low as possible. If the pump is small.

@DamDave Brother, check out these guys on the forum, very trustworthy and you get what you pay for and have local backing. @Master_G @growopz Not sure of others, so if anyone else can help comment.

Yep rabbits love the stuff, and cats too strangely enough.

Yeah, wasn't gonna chance it. Already given the plant to the pet rabbits. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Yeah, chop it. Growing for seeds with seeds from random pollen, is very expensive bird food. Seeded indoor is no better than seeded outdoor.

Isn't formula 1 coco with some amendments? Not quite the same as their classic soil which is a bit closer to a living soil with microbes and such? I could be wrong though. Curious as to what difference you'll notice, if any. I personally would rather stick with coco, synthetic nutes and add things such as microbe inoculations (gotta ensure there is something in your medium for the microbes to breakdown though), mycorrhizal fungi, teas etc. With coco being an inert medium, I believe the microbes won't care much for it, I have no way of proving this though. If one were to reuse coco from a grow, there'd be roots left in the coco still and I'd imagine that to suffice and not be a bad thing. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

You're advise is welcome @StickyD420! Carry on! Thanks all for the pointers. This is by no means an intention on doing comparisons between mediums and grow styles. I learnt how to grow cannabis in the deep end and my first grows were all with DWC, funny enough my first attempt has been my best attempt so far I want to do one soil run so that if I want to switch up mediums because of circumstances then I at least that I can. Also just want to learn

Time for an update Not much has happened, as I had major problems with the Blueberry plant I kept all the rest of the girls steady just giving water and kept them all in 10L pots till I could save the Blueberry. I managed and so here we have al 4 girls in their final 20L pots, pulled a scrog net over them and shoved a pallet under them to help with the cold temps at floor level. Trying to save the Blueberry set me back a good three weeks, so they are only on the 6th week of the feeding schedule right now and thinking I'm gona push them till about 9/10 weeks. Wana get some serious strech so I can clear out the under canopy. Other than that, the 5th plant that was also a Blueberry problem plant moved over to intensive care, plus there was never meant to be 5 plants in this space.

This my my #4 pheno of The Plug seedbanks, Dosidos x Watermelon Zkittlez on day 59 of flower. She smells like nasty dogs breath

So here goes my attempt... This is my previous grow, I have the link to the journal if anyone is interested in checking it out. Just a small home grow of some Blue Dream netting me 204g off a single tree in a 70cm sq tent. Included some Trichome shots taken just about 3 days before harvest. Enjoy
