Week 7. The OKC is almost there getting heavy. The rest who knows.

These auto's just dont want to finish. I was hoping they would finish 2 weeks before the rest. But no such luck. They are on 92/3 days today. I cut some lower branches off the first pic just to let the top ones finish strong.

I went with LSD from Barneys Farm, also mainlined her so it's nice and breezy.

Thanks for the pictures, Would say they can be put into fabric pots, and they are probably still wet / muddy at the bottom, and will see if you transplanting them tomorrow. Some roots are drowning, at the bottom, and that is surely causing the twisted leaves and the lock out of N as the new growth was yellow and could not absorb the nutrients. Guys will even lift a fabric pot off the floor for proper air flow under, and you need that air and dry out to a degree, they are programmed to seek out water, and if you keep them too wet they dont need to do any work or grow bigger root systems.

Great Idea! I have Ethos Forbidden skittles and Ethos Wedding Cake clones going atm.The wedding cake is a bit sweet for me,but she kicks nicely.I prefer something with a little bit of sour/spice or diesel to cut that sweetness. The f-skittles is around 4 weeks away from harvest, but the clones already have roots.She also smells very sweet Clone transporters (6 pack around R50-60) - https://www.google.com/search?q=clone+transporters

If plants could read, those schedules would make more sense . Run the sheet so you know what week you are in for feeding. Rest, lift them morning and evening and if they are super light, feed them with the dosage set for this week. Wet the pot top to bottom, then back to the daily lifting game.

Just a little update on the Autoflower grow Day 35 for the Sour Diesel Auto - Most recent feed was 16/07/2020. Biobizz bloom and molasses. Day 14 for the Gelato Samba Auto and Cocopopo Auto. - Received tap water on the same day. First feed will be in a week. Just planning to give them some seagrow for their first feed. Next feed is scheduled for 20/07/2020

Powdery mildew Pity I missed this thread after i lit the fire, was banging.

@afternoon blazer Keep It Simple Stupid... KISS. You can find strains that are resistant to certain diseases like pm or mold etc. My last grow I got bud rot, so this time I picked a strain that was resistant to mold. So far so good.

Yikes. U wana grow for all of us?

I keep an eye... no, two eyes on the grow diaries Air, i would rate you a bit on the low side. Go 8 in 8 out(or add another 6), big tent, i use 2 outs to have a less directed flow from in to out.. comes in at one side, leaves tent other side (one 6 goes out of the room with filter, other goes into another tent, vents the Gorillas right now). 2 40cm ocilating, 2 50cm directionals for general mixing... you might need 6 40 and 4 50 to keep all moving. The better your air moves, the better your plants grow.

lol. Not fucking around here!

Agh, ja bit of both hey single 250W QB in a corner and duel 400W HPS with cool tubes and a 6" exhaust and 4" intake all in a 2.4x1.2x2.05 tent. I swear I'll uniform everything soon

Haha, naah KISS is just a term I've picked up on recently and I've been stuffing it in anywhere I can like a fat kid with cupcakes. An intake filter is something someone considers as a last resort. Problem with powdery mildew? Maybe lessen your humidity first, or increase your air circulation, or even try a PM residence strain etc. Maintaining an intake filter can be hard work, especially if you're uncertain whether it's fully necessary. Also consider whether you are scrubbing the air into the room your tent is situated, or simply just the air going into the tent. If it is the latter, simply unzipping your tent to work on your plants will render your entire intake scrubbing setup useless.

Ah okay sweet, Nah brother, no need to do small waterings every 2 days, and definitely the fabric pot will be better. My last grow I watered 7 days before I harvested the plant, and when I cut the stem at the base, the soil was still wet at the bottom, and then put that fabric pot outside for a week longer, and it was still wet on the ground when I moved the pot again. You'd be surprised how long it can go between waterings depending on your mix. I'm also thinking your cups sit flush on the tray, and therefore might not be breathing properly top to bottom?

That Space princess looks awesome. Very frosty and attractive colours. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

What up 420 Fam. Just a small update to keep the Diary going. So the Banana Monkey i germinated got potted on Sunday Morning(12-07-20). With the seed cracked open. Into the root plug and final pot. Sadly still nothing has broken through the soil. So just gona let it chill out for a while. During the week. I was feeling abit irratated. So i germed another auto. SWEET TOOTH. Tuesday (14-07-20) Seed felt better for some reason. Anyway. Same story shot glass. This time i did 24 hours. Then paper towel and plastic bag for 18 hours. Temps about 28/29 degrees. Awsome 15mm taproot shown this morning and she got potted. Put on a humidity dome. And popped her into the grow box. Lets hope its smooth sailing for now.

Looking good, put the dome back on Youngsters like it wet

A decent pH pen, and using storage solution for the bulb, so that it doesn't dry out, you wont have an issue.

Looking good. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Will do bro. Currently lights out, will get some pics this evening

@zolrooker Swing a new picture, one of today, want to see her leaves please, in as best natural colour light you can for diagnosis

Awe how you brother, Yes okay, maybe cut sections out the sides of the cups next time for air flow to the base for the hole you have made to work better. Spraying in the morning, with an activator (Kelpak or ActiVera) and water combo will make the plants system kick into action quicker and start the perspiration process going. If you feel they are ready for water, water them tomorrow morning, and I'd say those roots are now filling that cups bottom pretty well already and now on a 2 to 3 day schedule. Maybe up pot them and then water them into their new homes instead of watering them in cups again? Fire

Definitely the most expensive! R75 FOR 3LT OF PERLITE! The same Bio Ocean pallets was R30 cheaper at Builders Express. I really try to avoid them.

Man... I'm jealous...

Sorry.. Gorillas Only the 6 venting to the inside of the room. This one usually ends in the climate room, i needed a powerful way to vent the rather full tent with the royal gorillas... weed strain. Decided to use the vent from the big tent... plants inside the big still small. Also might add, autos, and dutch genetics. I would count 12--14 replace 1 fem. With that calculation, those are 5 fems looks bigger as it is

@Ill_Evan Ya I'm really impressed with the QBs. I rate they're the way to go. Just a little pricey at the moment. Hopefully they'll come down a bit in the future. I'll be doing SCROG on next grow.

Didn't see what outlet fan you using, with 2400w you will need to move alot of air through the tent as@Prom said. One of the best airfiltets was those oil airfiltets from old cars, air runs over the oil and its catches everything........but you tent will smell like a refinery, could to water but that will create to much humidity again.

Call it growing pains.

@Prom 4 x 600W. Actually they 640W each, I got the upgrade with twin drivers @ 320W each

Think he's got multiple..

@Ill_Evan hahahahaha! that's some funny shit! Okay so sounds like I'm on the right track now. Legendary. Thank you

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.

They can talk kack, can't they?!

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.

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

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

I just thought I'd post a pic after all that.

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

I must have been doing autos wrong the whole time. But I think the true test is still to come. The smoke test.

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

SO today these are at about 10 weeks. Autos definately takes longer than the time they indicate in theit sites. I think the one has about 2 weeks left and the others i think will go at least another month.

I like how all your plants look man... I think all three pots came out great and it could just be that like you said in the beginning, it could just be down to pheno. Nice test though and thank you for sharing!!

One week later

And here's through the trellis. This was very near flip date. I lowered the lights down to the lowest areas of the canopy for a boost for a few days, and then raised them to this level.

Have been giving this some thought, how about the prizes go to "best diaries", which the judges can deliberate over scrutinize plants etc, but in saying 420sa is looking for the best diary, gives the incentive for growers to be op it. BTW well done on the previous competitions guys, thought it was pretty cool regardless, and paving the way for SA CannaCulture

Gave these bags a run the past weekend and managed to get 15 grams of some decent hash from about 120 grams of bud. I did two runs with these fullmelt filtration bags and got less yield on the 2nd wash. The bags were easy to use and made from high quality materials. So the pack has 5 bubble bags, 6 in total including the 250um. And below is what I got from each screen in total. 38um - 7.1g 70um - 4.5g 120um - 0.7g 160um - 1g 190um - 3g
