Some of you guys might remember the daddy I chose last year, nicknamed "FruityPuke". This girl was selected from about 15 beans that got mixed up, mystery mom, FruityPuke male. The terps of this plant is a dirty berry, like diesel berry chem funk. She got the nickname FruityPoopz, a new potential mom in my stable, definitely going to make beans with her at the very least

So the (hopefully girls) survived! They doing well. Seems there area a few deficiencies so a good repot will do them well I think. Let’s see what the next 2 weeks hold.

If you look back to the time of Pagans pre christianity, sowing and harvesting all happened around various stages of the moon. There weren't calendars to tell you what to do or apps for reminders. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

To me it has to do with the moons gravitational effects on water. Full moon draws water up to the surface, and surely affects water in plants too. I plant by the moon, and have found that germination is quicker, seedlings stronger when I plant at full moon compared to any other time of the month. All anecdotal of course. Just part of my seasonal routine. The next full moon is 1 October, and I'll be dropping my first outdoor beans then.

..and just a few moments after I posted above, my Autoflower Dinamed Fems arrived from Overgrow. But as I say, I got a confirmation of order and payment, and the next point of contact was receiving the seeds. Not the way I would do business but it gets to where it needs to. Would just be nice if they set reasonable expectations like @Biltong and Budz. I know exactly when I will get my seeds from BnB. BnB are slowly becoming my one and only ..psssst skeif voucher

I feel the little clip fans are not as useful as a larger fan than can push more air at a lower speed. The makro cheapie are really worth it imo... Last longer than the clip fans too

Check for the Safeway Desk fan from clicks. Free online delivery to a clicks near you if I remember correctly. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Expressing herself nicely this time of year. Aroma is full on Blueberry with this cut.

so gorgeous for some reason I imagine ice cream flavours when looking st those pics. Hats off to you sir @Dank

A quick search https://www.gardeningbythemoon.com/moon-phase-gardening/ Now I'm interested in the research, will see what I can get Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Im New and im Dj Boompie im new to 420SA . But iv been growing for quite a while with great results. Hopefully this season will bring greatness

Welcome bro. This is a dope ass pic. So much going on and all working well together.

Bruuuuuhhh... I feel this. Cheapest I saw was 390, and a proper grow brand was over 500...like wtf. The Safeway ones are like 140 [emoji23] does the same shit. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

i prefer the 40cm from takealot... and they have free delivery 200something, cant remember exactly I shop a lot at takealot.... Check this out on takealot: Goldair - 40cm Oscillating Desk Fan - White https://www.takealot.com/goldair-40cm-oscillating-desk-fan-white/PLID17260415 is 299 now, i still got my 2 for 259 each.. prices go up and up

Damn... That's a long wait... Giving Cannabist some competition there [emoji23] Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

I recently bought a 30cm "desk fan" from checkers. It has 3 x speed settings and oscillates. R279, the 40cm was R299 Its quite big but the foot piece is removeable so you can hang it with some rope or something.

Noice!... Welcome and enjoy Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

No. We'll get going with both the indoor and outdoor next year

The youngans are now settled in and seem to be showing some vigour.. only three made it but that was due to my own stupidity..

That's a dope song "they're on a never ending quest to get high". Me too.

OH YEAH NEW GEAR

It finally arrived!!!

Greetings 420 Fam. I've decided to put this thread together for the newbies to the indoor growing scene and anyone else that it may help. Anyway, it's for everyone to have a look at and hopefully it will give them a little bit of guidance when it comes to choosing the method of training that they want to use on their cannabis tree. Honestly, I wish someone broke it down for me when I started as it would've saved me a few months of experimenting by myself and accidentally coming across new methods somewhere random to try out. Anyway, here goes; Okay, so there's a lot to consider when you're aiming to increase your yield while not outgrowing the space you have available... Let's start with the simple stuff. My suggestion would be to research a bit on what you read here first before committing fully. Here's what you need to consider; - Acquiring good genetics (high yielding plant). Your bagseed flowers may look awesome, but most of the time it's genetics are a big twisted mess and stable genetics will yield you more bud per/m2. - Setting up a hydroponic system will get you a faster growth rate, but not necessarily a higher yield (although the time taken to get it would be shorter by a week or 2). - If you're using soil, you need a well mixed grow medium with enough drainage to ensure proper oxygen concentration in the root zone. - Use a good nutrient line if you aren't using living soil (it doesn't have to be expensive, it just has to work well). - Make sure your space isn't too big for your light (you may end up with airy, smaller buds or just a really slow growth rate if you ignore your limits here). - Ensure your plants get enough direct airflow to develop healthy, strong stems and so they receive ample fresh air. If you've considered of all of that, then you don't have much else to decide. LST works well, but it takes a lot of patience and when using it even with FIMing, but it isn't the most effective. This is because you still have to, in a way, let the plant grow normally and constantly train it to fit your space FIMing your tree will just give you more branches to train. The next 2 methods I'm going to mention are ways of making the plant grow into your space and it sort of has a predefined shape, which requires minimal training and even less once you decide to flower. Mainlining a tree requires less patience, and a bit of confidence when using this method because you will have to use some heavy HST with LST. I've used a slight variation of this on my last grow. I came out with about 204g of top shelf bud off a single tree (in a 70cm x 70cm tent). "Quadlining" has been coming up more recently and I've done this on a Microgrow I had running a while ago. You don't remove as much plant material as the previous method but the results are pretty similar. It requires slightly less time than Mainlining but also works well on maximizing yield... I was able to get 40g from 1sq ft off a single, small tree. Both these methods were effective at creating an even canopy with minimal LST and without the need of a net/trellis, but they do involve HST which means you will have recovery periods that add to your total length of the grow. I haven't tried any other methods, but from my understanding; ScrOG is one of the most effective at getting a maximum yield as this is a more controlled way of creating an even canopy and involves using a rigid screen through which you weave the tree as it grows. This makes maximum use of your space as you can decide what size grid to use and when you think its packed enough to flower. This method comes at the cost of a long veg time and regular maintenance, due to having to check which tops are growing pass the others and getting others in optimal positions. I'm not sure what other yield boosting techniques are commonly used but IMO; I think you're better off running your trees with the mainlining technique. Do some searching on Google to see how each of the methods work and see which one you'd feel comfortable doing. Everyone has their own preference I know this isn't a complete, thorough guide or like a how-to, but I hope it helps some of you. Feel free to also share the link with anyone that has a yield boosting question that can be answered by this post. If you're gonna add information to this thread, all I ask is that you please be sure of the methods you're posting. I've tried different methods and I've compiled this from my own experience.

HI there everyone, I've done a few illegal outdoor and a few illegal indoor grows with moderate success -=text removed=-. I have been frantically buying all the required items for my first legal indoor grow. 240 quantum board lamp, 1m x 1m tent, ducting inline fan and few other items. I will be running 4 autos for the first grow, purely to dial the tent in and get a feel for growing in such a confined space. In the past the indoor grows I've done have been in the spare bedroom using a 400 MH/HPS lamp i bought at ACDC express(LOL!!) Thanks for having me, I look forward to spending the time to read the past posts. Felix

Shot man. But now . How u gona keep the candle running with ur fans?.. So what we talking like 2ml seagrow per 2 liter of water ? And just spray thr under or top of leaves? And how often? I got some experimental plants. Dont mind giving it a small go

Those smaller clip on type of fans generally do not last all that long. I also prefer the larger box fans or oscillating fans, lots of options available with those - just need to become creative with how to mount them.

Thanks man! I'll check if its safe to go to Clicks this afternoon, lol!

No its a standard 2 pin plug, the fan has 2 speeds and sadly does not oscillate. Another option which is quite popular is the small box fans.

@Bakstein420 you can say that again. Hydroherb have a black unit for like R600ish. I cant justify that spend right now, is you Click fan a USB item?

Thanks for the leads @Nibiru and @TheUltimateNoob will check them out online. Clicks stores are a no go for a few days!

I mostly buy from @Biltong and Budz Link Then if I'm looking for Dinafem seeds I buy from Overgrow Link, but they don't really communicate which can make a dude nervous. I've completely moved away from Green Smoke Room Seeds. Still waiting on seeds that a mate and I bought in April. I know right.

@Bakstein420 Hey I'm going to be growing outdoors for now but in the process of looking at equipment to get a 1.2m indoor grow setup.

@TheUltimateNoob Thanks very much I'll definitely check out their blue dream sounds good

Thanks @Dank

Welcome to the fam @felix2000 enjoy the stay

Have only read good things about their Blue Dream, really wanna give it a grow. @Johnny there is also sacredseeds and greensmokeroom that are reputable seed banks. Are you going to be growing indoors or outdoors?

Welcome aboard. Love the pic. Enjoy your stay...

Welcome and enjoy your stay! The rainbow is very cool, aliens look a bit creepy but remind me of a song. Hopefully those aliens aren't going to try steal our weed! lol

UNice pants, its amazing how all plants start from something small , I wanna share my pics of my ak49 bonsai clone, she was a twig with a few leaves when I got her, she was monster cloned and super cropped vegged for more than 2 months in a diy veg box, there once no more space after defoliating so many times, so outside she went, halfway thru flowering now

Here is another picture of her in the full sun today.

Blue Gelato 41 cut that been flowering roughly 4 weeks outside now.

One of the new kids from my FruityPuke daddy (A Kush Hybrid from California). Being winter and she is outdoors i chopped her a bit earlier, i dont want any PM on her

Blue cheese cut getting ready for her winter flowering session

Quick update on the California Kush hybrid as well as the BlackD.O.G getting seeded, some of my first crosses for 2020. In the previous pictures I posted you can see there is a slight N deficiency with the Kush plant, I think this is partly due to a heavy K feed a bit early on in flowering. Gave her some more N as well as MG and she is looking nice and lush again. The first two pictures are of the Kush plant, followed by the BD.

Here is a cousin of the BlueberryKushs, she has some Romulan genes added in the mix. BlueSpaceKush

I agree! I'm here to learn how to make some oil. TEACH ME!

I would like to see you guys actually making the oils over and above showing off your grow. We really need to promote that side of the plant and would appreciate your guidance and advice to the community. Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk
