Glad to find a local community! I have trawled through the forum already, so already feel like I know you guys

I made the picture yesterday, just had no time for my desktop.. so pic comes with a day delay.. sorry ^^ Day 4 Week 10

Just started a new 80x80 tent with a 240W quantum board from PhoenixSky: Planted 2 fem Amnesia Haze from Nirvana straight into FF Premium prepped with Seagro and mycorrhizae, sprouted in 3 days: Cheap drip system bought at Builders, which I removed the plastic pressure regulator. I drive this with a 5L pressure sprayer, plug and play(the pipe fits into the spray handle where the chrome pipe goes in and locks with a nut), it has a trigger lock, so you can lock, pump it and leave it. Works very well Happy growing!

They’re better still recovering from a pH imbalance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I made a quick pic of the canape. You also see the 150mm hose going to the pot level.. 6 inch inliner for a 1.2x0.6x1.8 a bit over sized, but with this amount of plants in.. i highly recommend to go a bit nuts. The front right plant topped herself. Autos do that from time to time, had severals now. She will take the longest to finish. Same to the big one on the left, will be second last. The smallest, back row, second from left, is about 3 days ahead, just from the conditions of the flowers. I think i am not bad with 11 weeks. Will be around that time, the topped, more close to 12. I will take them 50%, they smell so nice now.

Aweh. Winter is a problem for outdoor growers. Either you grow indoors or you can plant auto's. Otherwise go big in summer. Now is the time for outdoor growers to be prepping soil for summer. This is the wrong time of the year to be planting photoperiod plants. You can plant autoflowering strains that may yield better in winter. (I've harvested 30-40gr dry off auto's this winter) Photoperiods will grow but remain small till they reach sexual maturity and due to the short days will start flowering very quickly- yield will be small.(like the pics) Depending on where you grow ambient winter temps will also affect the growth of the plants. They don't like very cold temps, but can survive. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

What up 420 fam. I'm nearing the end of my grow and wondering what y'all are doing in the final week before harvest. I have never done anything fancy before apart from a flush, but thinking of doing a 48 hour dark period with no water this time. Apparently this stresses the plant into a final push. What do you do and why?

Hi there! So the best, seeing that you have a greenhouse would be to plant late August, to mid September... But depending on how tall the GH is, they might get too big for the space. You will need to be on top of your game though... Big trees are no small feat to get to harvest and smoke!! Like @Bospatrollie2 said, nows the time to prep your soil and get ready for the coming season! Or grow indoor lol... Which is a costly exercise TBH. What are you planning on using for nutrients?

Yep, did a little write-up of my new tent I started over in the indoor section. I have another 80x80 with some random bag seed chronic and a California Lightworks 250, but I started it out with a 300W CFL and they are super lanky and the plant at the back is still stretching in week 5 of flower: I planted 10 randoms and had 3 males and 2 hermies, one sickly one that I culled.

Going to try and do a better Grow Diary this time and thanks for you guys help with previous one 2 X 150 liter totes, lined with 2cm LECA on the bottom and side, old trampoline side netting to separate the soil from the LECA to maybe help with the some root pruning [emoji2369]. Soil - Freedom Farms Custom Craft Soil from previous grow, amendments added - FF Probiotics, ground Barley, FF Fish Hydrolysate, Kelp Powder, soil was tilled a little and a 10cm layer of new soil was added on top. Waited a week so soil can settle and do their thing. Plants- 6 OKC clones in one tote, then I wanted 2 weeks and put 1 GSC and 1 Saffhire OG in the other tote. Gave them a Moong Bean Tea and some Living Soil Medium Organo Mineral Fertilizer, when needed ph 5,7 water Lights - QB 740w from@growopz HOPE YOU ENJOY THE GROW WITH ME [emoji322] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

The 17 th of March I Germinated 8 babbakush , 2 stinkypies , 2 lr+b , 2 fluff cheeses , 2 strawberrie kush The progress has been good..I stated growing around September 2019 so im very new to the game... The seeds i got from a grower/breeder who names himself "Budbally" and everything I learnd was from him and the internet... I got a greenhouse were I leave my babies (other than that everything Im using is low buget and free , I know I wont produce good bud with just Normal soil what can I add to my soil to enhance my plants with out breaking the bank. I am hard working and my Family and I are all stoners so I want to start producing bud to supply the family all year around.. but with my grow skills I have only produced bud that Looks,smell and taste horrible and it does not even make us High... I had a dream that I would plant 50 babbies in my greenhouse September but what is the point if Im just going to produce lower grade than "parkie grass".

Hi guys first time grower , have a gorilla glue auto grown in organicraft super soil , soil ph is 7.5 , watering with RO water , top dressing with insect frass every two weeks and using cannabis microbial consortium every few days , plant suddenly started getting rust spots and and few leaves have died , any idea the deficiency?

It's a QB480w turned down to 440w and a QB320w turned down to 300, 3 bars is mixed 3000k/4000k and 2 bars is 3000k, works nice Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Yeah I did a mini flush last week and they bounced back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just rectified a serious issue with the classifieds. Listings were not showing to Regular Members. I re-saved the permissions and it all came right. @southern26 please can you check now and thanks for bringing this to my attention

@KLS was it definitely pH? Lovely healthy new green growth there

Can also quickly state the record holder.. friend of mine down the road. Bubblelicious from Nirvana Seeds, reached 98cm soil to top and gave 127g dry. Is also the only dutch strain i would say, can compete with the US genetics.. rest i would take from US breeders... blackberry, gsc, ... go US. Not sure what they did.. but is just not the same quality anymore.

You can thank @CreX for getting through so quick Welcome to the forum, you lurker you.

Ja, awesome light, so happy to support local guys

Nice man! Clever adaption for the pump ekse!! Also nice move away from the CFL. You won't be disappointed with the PhoenixSkye light! Welcome to the forum and thanks for the posts

The KZN stable is growing pretty pistils on your skunk by the way.

Good progress, all looks to be in order. Its just the tree in the 2nd last pic doesn't look like she's having such a great time... How's your air circulation in that portion of the tent? Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

@StickyD420 They seem to be great but haven't started growing yet. The amount of light they emit is ridiculous. They are built well, though, and seem legit

Then there were 5. Transplanted to 5l. Three of them have gone outside. They not liking the indoor environment, and have been battling since germination. Looks to be solid Indica pulling through.

Thanks for the great service, Sean!!! Press came in Friday.. looks a lot better as expected for the price.. zeroooooo complains from this side! And best.. works like a charm can recommend his product 100%

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.

Hey all, You always want to do your last watering as far from harvest as possible, not only will this push the plant to use it reserves but also bring out more flavour and smell, and will have no spare moisture content, this drying better. Try harvest in the dark period, even if you do 48 hours dark, and agree with this method very much. This will be when your lights would normally be off but after your 48 hours off to assure your plants are asleep. Plants when sleeping, will push all starches to the roots, these starches you dont want in your plant when harvesting as they are bitter and just another thing to remove in the drying process if it even all come out. You also dont need to do full 48, as 24 hours is as good, just out of it original for more than a day. Just like grapes or fruits, and a farmer will tell you this too, the more balanced and delicate the climate or schedule, the more delicate the harvest fruits are, or the wine of those grapes, but the best flavor and taste wines, are made from the harsh weather, cold spikes and dry times. Some say there is more THC doing the dark time, but at this stage that is honestly mostly done and its terpenes that are being formed, to make the smell and taste. The dark, and cooler time will help those not burn off from the light. They also kick up more of a stink and stickiness harvested in the cold and dark of night. Respect

Week 9. Week 11 will be the present. Okay, everything still looking good but it's like watching paint dry. The plants are finally saying hoesit, I'm a male, get me out of here. At this stage the rabbits each get a plant to munch on and I get more space in the cabinet. By week 11 I have 8 plants from 15 that are female. I'm happy and my wife is harassing me to start the next grow. Welcome back load shedding. Never thought I'd use my 2000kv riot control tazer to grow ganja, man but does it have a powerful light. Whoa, stop the train. I've picked my light up from @growopz. Out come the cfl's and in go the led. Can I go play with the big boys ma?

@Bakstein420 give us an update pic there! Last I saw those plants where banging!!!

Generally rust spots like that are late stages of magnesium deficiency. You can give her some Epsom salts and it will help. The damage will never go away... But new growth and bud growth will improve

As for your farm animals manure. I know chicken poop is great stuff in low quantities. But pig poop I don't think is good due to the animal being omnivorous and has bad bacteria or something... But I stand to be corrected on the pig poop. Your compost pile will need to be built correctly as well, right number of greens, right number of browns and carefully dosed with ammendments, left to cook for a few months before it can be used in the garden. I would do yourself a flavour and check out some composting guides on Google for as much info you could need, and being on a farm you should have most of the components already, they just need to be put in the right order. Note - I would rather go for the biobizz range or an organic liquid fert like nitrisol or seagrow... Preferably the biobizz though... That shits great @SkunkPharm

No, not one but high on the list too. I would need a football field to plant all strains i would love to test... The topmax during flush is my own little nonsense.. biobizz states clear, give them water only. I would stick to that till the thc concentration in your brain makes you do stupid stuff.. just happens With fertilizer in general, stick to the producers feeding table. You will start to change it, the better you think you know the fertilizer. I expect 80-120g from those plants... never grew a gorilla, so very very difficult to guess.. but autos of this size, yield about that much, if i dig into past results.

Been a while since I posted, but as soon as the good news landed the other day I've been itching to get back in the game! So here we go. Going to be growing in an attic with: 1x630w CMH Light HIT 250b duct fan 4xNFT Flute Trays (Should arrive later this week) Worm casting tea for nutes - invested in a worm farm a few years back and its finally reached a sustainable level, plan to go completely organic with this one. In terms of genetics - ive ordered 3 clones of each of the below that should be ready in the next 10 days Critical cheese Green crack Northern lights Blue venom Plan to keep one of each in a mother/clone chamber. Lets see where this goes - Feel free to hassle me for updates!

Outdoor, add 2 weeks... i think with full spectrum they would be faster. If the gorillas are nice, i might repeat this with 2 QBs, so 30 watt less even during flowering but full spectrum light. Burbles work, but are just shit to easy keep track of your plants. I will do some pics of each stage of harvest. Even the canape looks full, lower part of the plants are rather un used. They pump where it makes sense. Also wanna add, i just did my first work on them. Took em out one by one and sprayed a liter Serenade mix over those 8 plants.. drip wet. Just to be sure there is no surprise lurking in the jungle. Look super healthy... tomorrow they get their last feeding, 4/4/4, then week 10 should have passed befor next and then is flush... i do special flush, i add still 2ml topmax to each liter water. 2 days before cut they go dark and dry till cut. The big one and self topped get a bit longer nutes. One feeding most likely, max 2. You see how flowers change shape... then decide.

Dammm son. Put that thing away. Might kill someone up in here.

Ah, I see my other post is pending approval

No problem man... And thank you Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

@TheUltimateNoob Thanks, awesome system. Thanks for sharing

That is ecactly why I am leaving them so long to flower. If you went on looks they were ready to harvest 2 weeks ago. But I am leaving them for as long as i can been 95 days already.

Brother, If I may, and didn't see a comment on this yet, but your temperature meter, the hygrometer thing is not reading wrong, but probably reading the temp in Farenheit not Celsius. The perlite top layer will help stop it drying out that bad and help with over watering, plus try the 100ml to a 1L watering. Just dont miss a day when the girls are thirsty

I raise my plants out the tray when watering, then discard of runoff before putting my pots back in the tray.

Welcome. to the cannabis zone .

Yo @CreX and @StickyD420 bright ass floodlight low on my balcony looks abit dodgy guys. Also temps fluctuate too much. Thats why i made that small grow box and to maximize on the light. Discreet. So warn sunshine during the day. And stable low 20 degree temps at night in the grow box with the light about 400mm away. I do have fans in the box to move shit around abit.

I missed it. Lol..... well done guys I was gonna enter but then I got high.

@Saurus Hey bud, so one of my plants was dropping and others had nutrient burn. So flushing them helped and then I also realized I was giving them a bit too much water so that was the other issue. I was trying to LST too early because I was quite excited but I’ve gotten a knack for it now and feel confident about this grow!

Maybe Saterday..

On point @Kiteloop Looks sick and glad to your setup is finished now, and that you got all your parts and tools needed, that digital meter should help get fine tuned from using the drops. Impressive grow so far and quality setup. Ps, mixed NUTS

@TomatoGrowerJHB thank you. Yes so for heating i purchased a Salton Panel Heater, mounted it to a wall. They about 420w, which is controlled by a STC-1000 controller. The controller manages my preset temperature.
