A little over 4 weeks old. The bushy dense genes of the choco are pulling through. The gelato mom, was stretchy, with a low yield. So hoping the yield genes also carry.

Out with the old in with the new. Major General Banner from GSR seeds, Ghost Train Haze from Rare Dankness and Blunicorn from In House Genetics.

And so it begins. Seeds was planted yesterday, 1 August, in some Just Cannabis soil. Hopefully she germinates Using 4x cool white cfl’s and a 22W cool white led strip for veg in the meantime. Either going to add some extra cfl’s or slap a 150w halide over plant once she gets a bit bigger. Not sure if theres a double ended mh bulb out suitable for Veg. I do have a 3500k bulb waiting for flower. Here’s my little ghetto garage setup so far

I top as the 5th node is still being developed but has separated from the 4th node completely. Worked well so far. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Morning Blazers. Weekly update time. Week 3 - day 15 Really enjoying the grow so far. Fed her yesterday. Think i will start some gro. And fish mix at half strength on the next feeding. Any suggestions or u guys spot anything im missing?

Thanks guys, really appreciate your input! @ORGANinc.,jep it's a beautiful morning here in WC... and it's even better after a nice breakfast vape . I mixed my soil in the beginning of June and intend on germinating my first batch of seeds on the 1st of October and the second on 31st of October. So the first batch will get soil that cooked for 3 months. I'll keep you guys posted how it goes.

Weekly update: Theyre growing nicely, but drooping a bit. Will see if they perk up after I've watered now. Any suggestions / observations, guys?

Cooked rice or dry? Wonder what adding cooked whole grains such as barley would do ito fodder for the herd I add quite a lot of the cheapest dog pellets to my soils. Contains 60% plus of maize as filler. Great food source for the phosphorus freeing fungi for flowering.

Hey bro! Hope this Sunday morning started with a spark I layer mine. Hot mix at the bottom. And I let it “cook” for about 5-6 weeks, I leave it in the garage. Still get nice and steamy in there. The next round will be sitting for longer so should be just better as Tote explains. If you do layer your mix. Try remember this, the roots will only engulf the mix once they seek the nutrition. Usually during flowering. So make sure to have a mix suitable for flowering. So lowish on the N spectrum. If you going for veg and flower in the mix. The recipe and layering strategies will need some tlc good luck bro!

When I first started mixing my soils, I too layered, sometimes still do. My soil mix on here was inspired by subcools soil. I aim as far as possible with my growing to not need to fertilize as often as with less alive soil. I do it because my soil mix is much hotter than any commercially available soil, and young root systems do have a hard time in it. It's going to come down to how long you "cook" the soil for, and what you put in it. My soil at 2 months is way hot. 4 months better, 6 months even better.

Yo peeps shot for the advice, I waited patiently and added more water in the circle. The little dude has shot up straight and popped out a few more leaves. Looking good, iv just watered in the circle again, so looking sharp... One more question though when do I know that I need to add molasses?

Aweh, Hope the fellow outdoor growers are getting their soil preps sorted. Mine's been cooking for a while and amendments went in, compost is being sifted and many batches of AACT innoculations have been administered. Managed to do some research into SST(seed sprout tea) and decided to give it a go as the science is solid from numerous sources. Settled on mungbean for veg and corn for flower, ladies got their first taste of the new tea today. Reaction from the ladies is positive so far, will keep an eye. Both the Pineapple express and Fruitpunch ladies are bearing seed after manual pollination. Especially excited for the Purple PE pheno. Cheers

New grow and decided I’ll log it here to see how things pan out.

Hi everyone, my soil is cooking (first time I made my own super soil) and I read up on the layering part. Subcool recommended to layer the soil and put a layer of super soil into the bottom of the container and cover it with regular soil. Background is not to burn the roots of the young plants during early stages of their life. After reading some forum posts on other growing forums I saw that many growers do not layer their soil and still have decent outcomes. What is your take on it? Do you layer your soil mix or do you think it's not really necessary?

@Rob189Hi, I am sure you'll be fine with 'just cannabis' soil. Heard only good things about it so far.

I realized it was lack of fresh air because my trees have grown significantly since I put an in-line fan inside my tent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve only now started increasing dosages Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks @StickyD420 appreciate it bud!

Thanks brother. I was thinking of topping soon as well. Not sure if it's ready or not though. Will wait till there's 5 nodes.

Love to see the baby being happy and healthy bro. I would have started feeding her now too.

@zolrooker looking nice and bushy brother

Dog pellets are good fungi fodder. 10min soak in water and left outside to be colonised, then into the mix. Still want to try the cooked rice. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Buds looking juicy there @Bospatrollie2 , looking forward to checking the progeny. Happy growing bro, summers coming

I add rice to speed up the cooking process. I cook it for 2 weeks and plant straight into it. No problems. I dont layer but I do however dilute my soil 1~4 with compost worm castings peat and perlite.

Liking the DIY here, but you're gonna have that hot spot in the center, be sure to take advantage of it [emoji1377] Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

@Bospatrollie2beautiful! Curious how they'll react to the SST. I will try it too this summer season.

They looking great bro. Keep up the awsome work!

Thanks Bud. I have 8 that I'm pushing through with, wasn't expecting all the seed's I planted and chucked outside to germinate and then half ended up female. Happy with the outcome though considering the very first light was a lead light with a 22w led globe. Gonna stick to 4 next time. Outdoors is upon us again though. Preparing the ground for a herb garden with companion plants and I'll chuck 4 in amongst them and hope for a 100% female then pray for 50% hit rate. Then some in the shade house where I had a good outcome the last grow. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Love this thread! This is something small for veg. Draw watt should be about 225w so I would think I’m getting around 100w true. But could be completely off so will keep updating as to how it grafts Simple and easy to put together...

I agree, awesome thread topic! @ChroniclyChronic That's one sexy frame you put together! I'm putting a 1mx1m flower room together. Got 15m of Alu T-strip. 3cmx3cm. Gona build a 80cm x 80cm frame and put 10 beams across. Here is what I ordered, Strips on backorder with 8 weeks waiting! FML Here's what I'm going for, Will have potentiometer for dimming aswell.

I don't think anyone is doubting that bro

Heat dissapation should be good [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great idea for this thread! I think I might have over-engineered my frame [emoji51] Made with 45 mm extrusion which has one flat side for sticking the Samsung F-Series double row 2 footers. Going for 240W to replace my California Lightworks 250 in a 80x80 Weighs 6KG [emoji15] I will replace the the corner fasteners with a lighter option to save some weight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The babies are healthy. Getting an in-line fan really made all the difference. Today is the beginning of Week 7 and 8 of veg [emoji2956] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mostly from seed yeah.

really impressed with the symetrical growth on these clones, its something I've consistently failed at... Think you could help me out

Soil is full of silica already.

Hello Rob, you can order all the bits online. I would use my own compost, rather than store bought, every time. If you have got a worm bin going then use those castings too. 50 litre coco. Washed and buffered. You must soak and rinse it twice to remove the excess salts 20 litre Biogreen universal potting mix. A blend of composted wood and peat. Use it straight out of the bag. 15 litre leaf mould compost. 10 litre worm casting. 125 ml 3-1-5 talborne vita pellets 25 ml gypsum. Gardener's gold dust 100 ml calcitic lime 250 ml ground kelp 250ml bone meal 125 ml rock phosphate 250 ml rock dust 50 ml malted barley 50ml coconut powder

I would like the dual 1z. Dry bud and liquid. Need to buy a F@#%ing light first.

It is conduction, but makes me wonder why we only see these 10 year warranties on conduction vapes and not on any convection vapes? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Here is an update on the grow. The girls are coming along nicely. Sour Diesel Auto - Day 48 (Pic 4) Gelato Samba Auto - Day 27 (Pic 1) Cocopopo Auto - Day 27 (Pic 2)

Hey Psy Unfortunately I haven't used a Pax before :/ This is a summary of what I know though: A solid conduction vaporiser, although frowned upon by some (because some see Pax as the Apple of the vaporiser world). The benefits of a conduction vape are that if you're coming from smoking, the transition can be somewhat easier. The Arizer vapes, for example, are convection vapes and can sometimes be a bit of a let down for those who are trying out a vape for the first time. Especially for those who smoke regularly and are used to that harsher feel on the throat. I've found that the Arizer vapes have more of a subtle feel when you're using them. Don't get me wrong they'll still get you HIGH AS FUCK, but some people prefer that harsher throat feel. With conduction, you lose out on a flavour, and you have to pack it down so that it can function at it's full potential (and that's why a lot of people tend to recommend the half-pack lids, because for a vape it can be a bit of a bud hog). But, you get big clouds. The convection vapes you don't need to pack them; literally just suck up some bud like you're using a straw, and you're good to go. But the benefits of Pax is that you shouldn't have any problems with parts or accessories (especially for us Saffers), so that's always something to keep in mind. I can't speak on behalf of the battery life. I have also heard that it can start to get a bit smelly. So, if that matters to you, then you might want to consider how often you'll be willing to clean it out properly. The Pax is probably the most discreet vape you can find (that I can think of at the moment anyway). But if you're looking for something similar.... you could also look at the Arizer Argo, Boundless CF/CFX/Tera (although the CFX and Tera are a bit on the large side, but make up for it in terms of battery life), or maybe one of the DaVinci vapes. If you're on a budget though, I really can't recommend the Dynavap enough. The M goes for about...R1500 at the moment? And yeah the torch thing (USE A BLOW TORCH LIGHTER) can be a bit of a bitch at times, but it really does perform rather phenomenally for what it is. You can go from huge bong size hits, to light tasty ones. It also uses fuck all bud, which is always a plus. But I wouldn't use it in a group session (unless it's only 2 people). I think this is probably the most relevant point though. You enjoyed using the Pax. So, you can't go wrong basically. BUT! Variety is the spice of life. Maybe something different that you haven't tried before would be even better? I dunna... Just a thought. Anyway, hope this helps. Apologies for the essay, I got carried away again. TL;DR: Figure out how you're going to be using your vape. Is it going to only be you? Are you going to be smoking at home, or more when you're out and about? Does flavour and saving bud matter to you? Is battery life something you need to take into consideration? Will it be used with a water pipe? EDIT: Should maybe look at starting a general vape thread EDIT 2: New thread here for anyone interested:

That's my soil mix. By no means a rigid recipe either. Many items can be replaced by other similiar items. The reason all the ingredients are in there is to grow cannabis.

Aweh fellow greenfingers, Been playing around this winter, a few crosses and a spot of breeding. Prepping siol for summer etc... Managed to grow some odd beans on the side and found this pretty lady.

How to compare the intricate mycological flora from a well established 1000 year old undisturbed forest with what's happening in your ''residential'' garden soil, that's had much, much less time. Compare that with ''supersoils'' or ''craft soils and the amount of disturbances and processing involved. In the effort to emulate mother nature we will always be lagging behind, needing all the help we can get. She has all the time in the world to create. I say add the myco's.

Hey Bos. Better watch out one of those fruit punch clones don't go MIA...

Hehe, So, I've got the 3500K + 660nm and the 3000K + 660nm boards in the tent, dimmed really low but about 20cm at the closest point. Will see how it goes. Reckon it's a good spectrum spread, so I'll get rid of extraneous gear and stick with this setup.

Due to my extreme OCD, I've been doing plenty of things to these poor plants that I know I shouldn't have. Trimming leaves, bending stems, LST'ing at far too late a stage, removing soil to check that a germinating seed is still alive etc. etc. You name it I've done it. It all culminated in snapping off a main branch tonight. Hopefully, that jolt to my system can stem the tide of plant abuse that I'm inflicting on these poor things. I have poor impulse control I'm afraid. The middle plant is retarded because I didn't pack the soil enough around the seed, and had to intervene and re-plant it when it's roots couldn't penetrate far enough down. It survived, but you can see it's rather...flat. Here's to the future, ie. The Euforia youngling on the bottom right, the only one I have raised correctly so far. The Euforia on the left was slow and I couldn't help but scrape away soil to make it easier to break ground, which I presume is why it's so much smaller. Advice is welcomed.
