Whats up guys! i have a new set of beans on the grow and i think its gonna be amazing! the lineage is mouthwatering and previous runs of the parents provided excellent results! i am posting this with my pc and will need to add pics with my phone, so keep posted! 12x Euphoric Banana 12x Ghiquita! both parents had some purple pops and high frost, so visually impressive buds before and after trimming. oh and they are regulars, so you know how it goes, ill hopefully get more than 50% female

4 rows of seeds Ghiquita! On the left and Euphoric Banana on the right. Some French cookies cuttings as well as some blue dream cuttings

The Aurora Kush was the champ of this round with her long colas and heavy yeild - she's on the dry rack now and more updates will likely come in the form of a grow report

Hi guys Unplanned trip up the coast, so update is a little late. Things are moving along really nicely. All plants got Topped 7 July, and reacted super well! See pics below of new growth at the node where i topped. I also took 2 clones the the Ethos Crescendo and got amazing root growth in 10 days flat. (pic below is at 10 days.) Did a full reservoir change on Wednesday. Now i'm running full-strength nutes at EC 1.6

Hey guys . So I figured ill move this from the new user thread and make a proper thread for the grow. This is how it all started . Planted 2 putins punch seeds directly from germination into the big pots . They got stunted pretty hard and barely grew for the 2 weeks . Bag seeds havent even broken ground yet at this point. As for the indoor tent setup where the putins were growing , light was not the best after downloading a lux meter ( yes I know not the right spectrum but gives you a rough idea ) . Light intensity was way down and got we worried. @CoolJ To the rescue . I asked if I could buy the cobs he ordered from aliexpress and he opted to give them to me . Baring in mind I splurged quite a bit on the setup this month it was a blessing . Thanx dude :D . On to after these pictures .... Here we are today . I took a chance and replanted the putins seeds into smaller pots .... Way smaller pots .Did some research after @Ill_Evan advice and I figured ill take a chance and see. They seem to be reacting well since over watering is no longer a problem and I feel the plant should develop a bit better in this . I was being as careful as I can not to disturb the roots and to be honest there wasnt even much root growth . Lesson learned . Photos small pots first . I hope these make it otherwise ill take it as a lesson and plant some more . As for the lighting situation . I am lucky to be in IT so I have access to a few extra parts . I present frankenlights. CPU cooler with some good thermal paste and a 12v fan . They run pretty cool for 16h on 8h off. Gonna run them for another week or so until I can build them into a proper frame and redo the wiring neatly. They do pump out a hella lot of light and it seems they are 3500k lights ( correct me if im wrong here , my chinglish is not the best ) Lastly just a big thanx to the community for being so welcoming and for the guidance . You guys are the best :D

Brought to us by the legendary Guy Richie. I just finished this movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Since being introduced to Guy Richie once I'd figured out the meaning of 'cunt' via Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, as well as the follow-up Snatch, I have always been a fan of his work and was caught by surprise that I hadn't picked up on this new addition up until recently. The marijuana theme was also a massive surprise. I hadn't watched a trailer or really knew who was in it, and I think I accidentally may have had the best experience out of anyone having been in this position The movie is full of fantastic one-liners and witty remarks, a zero bullshit attitude but a good chuckle was had a few times during the course of the film. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, definitely check it out. If you've seen it, what did you think of it? I was going to link a trailer here, but after watching the trailer I've decided it would be an absolute disservice to anyone who hasn't picked up on the film yet. Do the right thing.

Ethos - Early Lemon Berry Managed to get 110g off her so not bad at all... Beautiful sweet sweets smell and fantastic sticky aftertaste leaves me very happy with her. Nice early finisher as well, 8 weeks flat

What a ride it's been! Managed to find one decent Aurora Kush pheno from the 8 i popped all those many moons ago. Here's some pics of the harvest coming down bit by bit when it's all done I'll post a grow report 1 last pic before plants started getting the chop chop

Every time you get the urge to water, tell yourself one more day. Pick the pot up every day until it feels 90% lighter than wet. It can get bone dry and feather light.

Let's goooooo.

Gorgeous canopy bru. Lekker to see the comeback after your rough ride.

Theres alot of options. Just gota see what suites u best. In other news. Very excited. My second seed has a tap root. I potted it this morning.

I agree, i only go the extra mile as i want to breed some autos. If a shop wants to import HEPA cloth directly, contact me, and i pass you the direct contact. I would prefer no import hassle too They ship to registered companies in SA too. I wouldnt stress to much about the air intake, if you just run feminized plants. If you have males on the property, you have a bit more hassle to watch out for.

I had same issue, my dad in Germany solved it. He gets 10m HEPA cloth on a roll. Bit to much, but i will get 4m2 to start, i wanna put it in my intake window directly. So i check import cost, if reasonable, i check to get some more. Problem... Post Office

We are gona chain u up.

Week 7ish. So I've decided to build a bigger cabinet by slapping 2 shelving units together and use 1 of the other cabinets as a veg box. Trying to improve the lighting somehow. I've attached cfl's and a led tube light permanently and the shelving I'll lower as the plants grow. Not the ideal way to use cfl's, I know, but hoping I'll get better light distribution than my previous setup. Oh, by the way, my plants have been on 12/12 for about a week now. I have also started chatting with @growopz to see what he can do for me concerning LED's on a very small budget.

@DamDave sorry to hear about your trouble but if it's isolated to you then there must be an issue with your device specifically. Sorry I couldn't be of further assistance

I in fact switched from Google Chrome to..*cringes*..Microsoft Edge and swapped the search engine from Bing to DuckDuckGo. Me I was super skeptical at first, but not only is my pc a little bit more swift, I feel a little bit more secure too.

I can almost smell the lemon looking top shelf bro

There isn't anything in this world that can keep me down brother Thanks for the compliment

French cookies #2 was the only cookie to make me proud.... And I let her get too dry, and she gave up... So so close to the end... Such a pity actually. I have some cuttings so I will be giving her another go to see if I can improve... Have not weighed or smoked yet

Yeah, so I've been giving it more thought and gonna give it a try. Setting up the veg cabinet this weekend. Once again, great advice and help on this platform.

@Bakstein420 let me know where u find it bro.

Week 2

Hold on. I found a week 6 photo.

Maaaaan. Now i got to go look for it.

Look at the brand PAX. They have devices that do all three.

Thank you brother, I think @Camille picture is top class too, almost as if the butterfly's shadow is the leaf that's on the page, as if it was at just the right angle to be captured so.

So we have some Good news... some Not so good newd and then some darn right crap. I Harvested some Plants Yay!!! Some have been dried and cured for about a week now. Meaning its not cured of course but who the fck waits longer to taste.. aaaah not me the first one is the LSP... i absolutely love this strain!!! I tasted Sugarbreath. If this this what its like now i cant wait for fully cured. I smoke a lot so tolerance high AF. this put me on my ass. im impressed. The not so good news. My citradellic Hermied, pollinated my other plants a little. some a little more than others. But im not to worried. they still frosty AF. NOW the darn with baaaaad Eskom!!!! Wtf man! sub stations blowing. loadshedding during fckn lockdown. naaah come on this is a conspiracy to fck all indoor growers. im sure. its that illegal tobacco industry thats waging war on us law abiding pot growers!!! this is an atrocity!

Aweh fellow greenfingers, The winter chills are upon us but, grow we will. 1/2. a Clash of Titans..... and local is lekker. Unintended consequence. Proof is in the pudding, some buds drying quitely, sweet skunky bliss. 3-6. Found 2 decidedly different Pineapple express pheno's. One seems more sativa, the other more kush. 7-10. The Fruitpunch queens looking good after their feed and tea. This winter made it awfully difficult for any type of outdoor growing. Pushed some limits and took a few hits, might have found some good stuff for my trouble. But summer is coming.... Keep it green. Cheers

Fed the Ladies this morning. Banana and apple smoothies with ecobuz molasses and some epsom. Happy girls. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

hahahaha.... Yeah I know, I use KISS alot myself, it's become a thing in our household too . Well, I haven't actually started the grow yet. Unfortunately my order from 8 WEEKS ago is still missing some essential items, so I am staring at a nice setup that's 90% finished but I can't move forward... The intake filter is an after thought, really... I just figured it would help keep the grow as simple as possible (KTGASAP) lol So since my intake is already coming from a clean room inside a well insulated building, I guess it's not necessary, then? Yeah, your last point is a good one... I will be running an adjustable dehumidifier complete with HEPA filter already installed in the machine, in the room where the tent is. I suppose that would make the need for an intake filter even more redundant... I always try do things the best I can, but the intake filter is now starting to sound like overkill... Thanks so much, man

Because it is usually incredibly cumbersome for the homegrower to even bother with filtering their intake properly to even make use of it. Anyone interested would most likely do a DIY HEPA filter to stand any chance of stopping spores coming into your grow room. If you are experiencing a lot of dust, pollen, mold spores etc in your already indoor environment, maybe consider relocating where you're growing. Keep it simple stupid.

Hey brother, I'm not sure so will let either @CreX or @Ill_Evan reply if they can. I'd say off the top my head though, that the small white filter in your picture is basically the same as the pre filter on a carbon filter, and forgive me but wouldn't a carbon filter stop particles from going through too? Or DIY, a car intake cone filter maybe if you get a good one

@zolrooker Brother, your gold standard cups, are not good for drainage and I see hardly any perlite in it. Better pots, more perlite, 7 days watering schedule, and you'll be hundreds brother. Added, are you leaving them in a tray of water?

Sorry brother, Try as Totemic says, I at first did this too. Same soil, in the same pot, not wet and stays dry, and then use it as reference for the actual plant. Then I'd definitely say you need more perlite or add a little coco, even both to your mix for more air, and better drying times perhaps? If you watering 7 days apart, and still got over watered pots, then definitely more air flow and pockets in the soil.

That's the spirit. That Aurora kush looks good. Congrats on the bounce back. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Looking good @DamDave About the lights issue. @SkunkPharm made a good suggestion. Those flood lights dont get that hot. I know definitly a few people on here use the ACDC version. Especially for veg. 150w led floodlight. Cool white. R375 with2 year warrenty. I bought it. Run it in a similar size box as yours. Temps are about 20 degrees inside at night. With the heatsink sticking out the box. I did so e cheap ass light test on the light. And i was extremely impressed. If u want complete validation of the light. @CreX knows hands down. how good it is. Also from all the info i have been through. Light is priority 1. Then Genetics. Just wana help bro.

DuckDuckGo is actually better overall. They don't track users Internet patterns and stuff basically. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Well done to the winners! :D Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Well done guys!

Well done guys.

Thanks a lot bro, i really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. Norseman

All-in-one ching chong. After this grow the smaller tent will be straight-up veg and this bigger tent will just be flower.

@Teal Smith Give @Master_G a msg... I'm sure he can hook you up with some sick lights with LMB301h diodes @ a friendly price lol. 16k... I'd rather shit in my hands and clap
