Day 25. Everything still looking good. Plants routine hasn't changed. Outside on average 10 hours a day then in the cabinet for 8 hours. Watering when needed, on average every 3 to 4 days. I tried my hand at LST'ing my Jack Berry and some other plants and when I looked back I had trained the 2 Glamberry as well. Holding thumbs. Must say that you can see a big difference in the growth in 24 hours. Looks a bit rough. Gotta start somewhere hey. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Just a update on the growth after the topping, seems like it worked out well 1. 14 days ago 2. Tonight Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Aircon.

Ended up bending the plant and was gonna train it to circle the inside of the pot. Cancel that idea. First time at attempting training and the speed at which growth changes has blown my mind man. My Durban Poison plants outside are cowering behind the pot rims as I'm eyeing them out. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

#4 - Weekend joys

Here is a Blunicorn bud from In House Genetics

At the stroke of midnight, we lost our free trade rights to sell CBD. https://www.tnha.co.za/cbd-exemption-expires-where-to-now-for-cbd/ Consumer’s continued free access to CBD without a prescription under threat. On the stroke of midnight on Friday the 15th of May, over-the-counter Cannabidiol (CBD) containing products which have been freely traded in South Africa will revert back to being Schedule 4 medications requiring a doctor’s prescription, despite there being no registered (legally approved) prescription CBD medicines in South Africa. This situation is due to the 12-month exemption notice for certain CBD products expiring without an extension or a permanent exemption despite an impeccable safety profile. This places importers, contract manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers which CBD products in a precarious position, not knowing if they may continue to sell CBD products legally or not. CBD now reverts to being a schedule 4 substance in terms of the Schedules of the Medicines Act. Selling unregistered medicines is a criminal offense under Section 29 of the Medicines and Related Substances Act (Act 101 of 1965). The entire CBD product value chain now requires pharmaceutical trade licenses or pharmacy licenses to sell CBD products legally. In May last year a special exempted category of CBD products was created after our organization took the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) and Minister of Health to court. In a last minute round-table meeting between the SAHPRA and the TNHA’s legal representatives, a historic agreement was reached to exempt CBD from the schedules under specific trade conditions. These included: The daily CBD dosage of the product could not exceed 20mg. The amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) could not exceed 1 part per million (0.001%) by volume. The product labels and associated marketing materials could not contain health claims for diseases or serious symptoms, and could only refer to approved low risk ‘well-being’ claims. In a short space of a year under the liberalized exemption framework the CBD marketplace in South Africa has grown considerably. There has been a plethora of new local and imported CBD products entering the market, and a healthy and vibrant marketplace has ensued. This brought about many entrepreneurial success stories and employment opportunities. The public have enjoyed the freedom to choose CBD products freely and gain many benefits from them. To date the SAHPRA has not conveyed any reservations about the safety concerns, or raised any compliance issues with industry bodies. The TNHA are not aware of any reported harms relating to CBD containing products in South Africa which warrant the substance being tossed back into the legal basket of high risk medications requiring a doctor’s prescription and supervision. The only stumbling block for the local CBD industry over the past year has been the reluctance of the National Department of Health’s Food Control Directorate to approve CBD as an additive in foodstuffs and beverages, bringing us into alignment with other countries who have developed ‘edibles and drinkables’ markets. WHERE TO NOW FOR CBD? The SAHPRA has received various regulatory proposals for CBD and hemp seed oil from representative industry associations leading up to the expiry of the exemption notice. With the expiry date of the exemption notice having come and gone our organization will now urgently attempt to engage with the SAHPRA and Minister of Health to seek the reasons for the lapse. With the regulator’s heads wrapped up by COVID-19 and lockdown creating logistical challenges it is possible the deadline was an oversight, or the result of the SAHPRA and Minister not having the time to consider extending the exemption according to stakeholder proposals. The CBD industry and millions of CBD consumers need clarity on the future status of CBD and its continued access Now! Many people now rely on CBD for the maintenance of good health, and will undoubtedly suffer without continued free access to it. Other users may have experienced the reversal of serious health conditions. The harm created by arbitrarily removing the product from the free market without cogent scientific or risk-based reasons could result in being deleterious to health and place people’s health at risk. A risk which we believe far outweighs any potential risk of the substance itself under the existing low risk exemption framework. Should no answer be forthcoming from the SAHPRA and Minister of Health in the near future, the TNHA will have no choice but to proceed with the court case we launched before the exemption.

No sure sign of sex yet but they bave a good stretch on for the transplant to the final pot.

These laws will be impossible to enforce

Yeah, this opens a whole new can of worms. If I can theoretically fill my garden with cbd plants, just how do saps tell the difference without opening themselves up to civil claims.

Would this influence the law on flowering plant total though.. I need allota bud for making me some decent coconut infused oil.. That's what gets me a bit.. If i want to make extracts and smoke some bud.. how do I do that as a outdoor grower growing regular seeds.. with only four in flower..? Perpetual growing outdoors might become very labour intensive and costly.. As a household, can you then have 8 flowering.. seing as you wil be allowed 1.2kg of dry bud..? Maybe I shoild just go read the bill again.. Digressing....

As far as I understand it, CBD is now schedule 0...not scheduled.

That body high actually sounds kinda pleasant from the way you're describing it - except for the sweat and nausea. lol CBD is important though and a must if you want your weed to be balanced. Otherwise not a bad idea keeping some CBD bud around to mix with other strains if you feel the need too. @Totemic so does that mean its not going to be scheduled?

I want to try find electrical cable like that, which is coiled. 0.75mm or 1mm would be ideal. Not sure where to source some from at a reasonable price though.

Will post photos of each of the ladies in the up coming week and keep you guys updated before flipping them to 12-12 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, must get super hot inside the tent with it being in direct sunlight. What cable is that going into the tent? Is it power? I like the fact that it is curled and looks as if it will spring back once tension is released?

Nice, 90L is big - you'll end up with a massive plant Still got quite a while to go until its outdoor harvest time.

I only use this on my indoor plants. Outdoors I have 40~70l pots and they have irrigation so I want them to dry out before the next watering cycle. They get water multiple times a day. My indoor plants get water once a day so they need some assistance. But hopefulle I will just do grow beds in future.

Why do you wrap the tap half of the pots? Help retain water? Plants will always only take what they need, in hydro the nutrients are just more readily available to the plant. In soil this is not the case. A bit late now, you want to do this earlier on. The way you train and work with your plants, will also determine the outcome. I find cleaning up a plant heavily underneath where light ill be limited will ensure more energy is put into the remaining bud sites and you then can end up with larger bud. Strain will obviously play a role too. Also pot size could be a limiting factor. Try with a 20L pot next time.

Sticky fingers for days bro

yea, you would need a lux meter to really know. but you would need to do tests in the beginning of the lights life span to have a base to test off, and then you could do regular checks to calculate the rate of deterioration and then replace. otherwise the go to HID lifespan is i think 10k hours and then it needs to be replaced. That works out to just over 2 years if you only run the bulb for 12 hours a day.

You won't 'feel' the CBD high. I've smoked CBD rich strains... It's very relaxing in a way. The buzz is medicated, and not intoxicating. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

It looks like bulk seeds repacked. Where are you based? We need to start groups all over the country trading clones. If you have a great phno share it with people in your area. You never know it may evem make it back to you in 2 years time. We have gotten a nice group going in CT. We are swopping out and giving away great genetics so that we share everything. It is selfish keeping great stuff to yourself. Personal gain is over rated.

The wheels of bureaucracy turn very slow unless greased... thanks for the heads up.

At first I didn't wanna name and shame but then I thought screw that you will be exposed. @Darkestdays and @StonerJay13 are the same person. He initially did the quiz under Stonerjay and then went on to do it again under Darkest days where he managed to secure a place at the top of the leaderboard, quite unrealistically which lead me to investigate. Let it be a message to those who want to try as well. You will be caught!
