I've done some defoliating on the bottom halves of the plants. The extra space makes watering much easier and the plants are looking pretty neat and tidy. I am pretty much ready to flip I am already looking to beat my last harvest by some and I don't want to over-veg. I'd say I am close to halfway high on one corner of the tent. The supercropped Aurora Indica is looking pretty level at last. Very happy with the management of that particular girl.

What up peepz So we have full lift off. 13/13 super pumped.

The girls are 7 days into 12/12, and already its getting cramped. 3 plants are nearing their end though, so more space will open up soon for the remaining 6

When I get to decorate the tree... Tis’ the season to be jolly...

Thank you! We are excited to be part of this awesome forum. Hoping we can help members on this forum out with the products we provide. We feel our pricing is great and aim to provide excellent customer service. Any questions, please reach out to us.

Yip yip! Flip is officially today. Total time since seed is 46 days I've taken clones of the GDP, Royal Gorilla, Zkittlez x Purple Punch and Aurora Indica. The Aurora Indica last harvest was really nice after a cure so I'd like to get some more of that. I'd like more of the Zkittlez x Purple Punch as only one of the three seeds survived, although I don't know what the strain is like yet. Mates want some of the GDP and Royal Gorilla, how can I say no? Cloning for the first few times has also been a treat.

Start of week 7 for the Quarter Pounder Autos (capeapeseeds) Start of week 3 of flowering. No signs of trichomes yet.

Hi guys, a few more update pics below. Not sure about this yellow leaf, there's another one at the back of the plant. Only the big fan leaves are that colour. Any idea what it is?

Dinner for one

Sativa (dominant) vs Indica(dominant) leaf

Some budshots (wintergrown outdoor) from the BlueberryKush #3 cut (F2 IBL "berry line" selection). She is the blueberry muffin cotton candy phenotype.

Welcome to the community! Glad to hear customer service is a priority for you folks, its a foolproof way to cement yourselves in the industry & i wish would companies would realize this & follow suit. All the best of luck & prosperity

It's a sign from the gods! So basically you need to purge the tent of as much oxygen as you can and have co2 displace it. Once you think you've displaced with co2 you'll need to seal up the tent and let it sit for an hour or 2. With just co2 in the tent the bugs will asphyxiate and die. That's where the dangerous part comes in for you though. You need to make sure that you don't inhale too much co2 yourself in the process. If you pass out with a bunch of co2 in the air and a tank still releasing co2, it's tickets Strongly advise you don't do it alone and plan it out carefully. How big is your tent? EDIT: you may need a regulator to attach to the bottle. See if mygas can rent one out to you as well

1 Month Update Am rather impressed by how well these have grown over the last month Have transplanted all 3 to larger sized pots last night, so far the Alien Tarantula & OKC are taking the transplant like its nothing only the Slurry that's showing slightly droopy from a bit of shock. @SkunkPharm Thanks again, these are sure to be legendary once finished

Ended up having to take a chance and moved plants to the shade house on Friday. Been 3 days now and they're looking happy. Reach for the sky now ladies, or as high as you can in a 20l. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Hey everyone, I'm keen on doing a bit of an experiment and thought it would be a great way to get going on the forum. I'm doing an outdoor living soil type grow with some local genetics from Daggafontein. Their Gardener's Delight Mix. I'm so used to growing bagseed, I thought it would be a good start to dip my toes into some better local genetics. I also got some of DG's Diesoline and Candy IV seeds, but that grow might only happen next season. Got a few things going already this season. So, some general info about the grow. Like I said, I want to experiment with a living soil type of grow. I'm used to soil and organics, but only recently have I started to focus on beneficial microbial life and their role in growing strong and healthy organic plants that are pest and disease resistant. I have a few shops close by that stock Bark Unlimited Organics range of products. They are local to me and easily available, so to keep things simple, I will try and stick with them. I'm going to use 12 liter and 20 liter fabric pots and fill them with a mix of coco coir, BUO outdoor potting soil, homemade compost (hot + cold), vermicastings from my own worm bin, vermiculite, some bone meal and some Bio Ocean pellets from Atlantic Fertilizers. For a mulch layer I'm using BUO Bark Chips. The only other stuff I intend on using for this grow is some liquid kelp + probiotic mix for foliar and my own compost extract. For pest control, I plan on using neem oil with some selected essential oils, diatomaceous earth (also for the silica content) and castile liquid soap from PureSimple. Water ensured to be chlorine and chloramine free and PH adjusted to be between 6 and 7. So let's get this show going shall we? 04 November 2020 I picked 6 random seeds from the 20 Gardener's Delight Mix seeds (GDM) I got from Daggafontein and into the shot glass with some proper water they went. They were left for about 5 hours in the glass before transferring them to a paper towel. 05 November 2020 After about 30 hours since going into water, one of the seeds popped and the taproot was showing. I decided not to wait with this one and transferred it into a 8cm plastic cup filled with BUO Super Hemp Soil and some compost extract to wet and inoculate the medium and then I misted the surface of the soil until properly wet. I'm going to keep the seedlings indoor for the first two weeks about. I'm also going to add supplemental light to extend light hours. I'm using a 250w MH for this purpose as it's what I have. Excited to see what this grow will deliver...

Ez 420SA growers, As per the title, I've discovered mother f***ing thrip damage on a few of the larger fan leafs in my tent. I am 4/5 weeks into flower and things are looking tasty apart from these little suckers(lol!) ruining my morning. Can i spray this deep into the flowering period? I was thinking that a weekly spray of Pyrol may be of help? or should i just let them run a mock in the tent? I predict i have another 4 weeks to go for this run. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

That's the spirit....

Not sure, I have never used it and do not know of anyone who has used it either.

Bit of a tricky one, I have sprayed Pyrol in flower before and then I bud wash come harvest time. Pyrol works wonders for getting rid of thrips. Alternatively, although its a lengthy process and may not be ideal not ... maybe for future reference though, you get a fungus which will grow on pests and kill them. That can be used during flower without issues I believe, it is called Beauveria bassiana and Argo Organics sell it under the name Bio-Insek. A few other places sell it as well.

I would love some clones. But got my hands too full at the moment.

Looking very promising bro.

You're quite deep into flower now and I wouldn't really advise spraying pyrol now... problem is you still have a few weeks to go. That leaves you with few options right now. You can try control it manually by removing/wiping by hand. Quite tricky with thrips as they move around quite quickly. Another drastic but effective measure is purging your tent with CO2 but this is a tricky procedure and needs to be done with caution as you could kill yourself. I'm currently renting out a co2 bottle for homebrew beer. I rent from MyGas who sells 10L of co2 for just over R300. They then charge you R4-00 a day for the bottle rental. No deposit needed.... As I say its a drastic measure but it should work. Will give your plants a little boost in the process as well

I misted the soil just before taking the photos. I only use a fine misting spray to water in those pots and then it depends on how hot it is. Today was very hot and those small pots can dry out very quickly. I try and give them enough dry time before watering again and keep an eye on them. If they start wilting or drooping in the heat and the soil looks somewhat dry, I mist the surface again. Luckily in a few days time I'll move them into 7l fabrics pots to start off with. Watering should be less of an issue then.

Those pots look quite wet. Try and get a good wet dry cycle going. Plants will grow well. How much? And how often are u watering?

Hey just got some seed called Wedding Cake Reg and Amnesia X Safety Meeting. Are these both feminized?

aaaaay lol for a Xmas edition im not seeing any festive shots!! which i am in 2 minds about.... i mean... its the middle of November... barely early enough to hang our stockings!!! but visit one shop lol... you would swear its xmas tomorrow!! lets see if we can get a merry vibe up in here ladies and gents! HO HO HO!!!

Thank you so much Bob. I replied to your DM. Like I said, I'm still very much excited to get some Gardener's Delight going, so I'm going to try germinating directly in coir pots and see how that turns out.

How are the ladies looking bro?

That is really unlucky bro. Maybe try reach out to @Daggafontein Genetics , they might be willing to help.

Pink Mango Gelato ... week 4 ... maybe some airflow problems, definitely some trimming ones

Very quickly finding myself in possession of a weed jungle Then an update on the supercrop for those interested. Still going strong.

very good very good. plants are looking tip top bru. good work on the super crop, it turned out well! i would just remove one leaf in the mix - the one that when you first super cropped was covering everything. LOL i had a forced supercrop session the other day when one of my qbs fell after i adjusted it, and it smashed a branch properly... shame... luckily i had a trellis to hold up the broken cola... and now she has a fat knuckle!!

Here is my first attempt at supercropping I am doing this to stop the taller Aurora Indica from getting too out of hand. It is also another first and if successful is just another tool in the toolbox of growing goodies.

LMAO, glad to see im not the only one who's employed a personal bodyguard for their ladies Has it got a name? lol - here's mine: introducing "Dik Frik", heard him while looking for males & found him climbing up a plant, he stayed in this pose for a good minute, if i had any mantises in the garden they probably eaten by now

20L pots will be more than sufficient and can be used for your indoor grow as well. I like to use carlton towel too, place it into a zip lock bag to keep humidity in and then between 2 saucers to keep light out. On top of a modem should be fine to keep it all warm. There are various things you could use to help the plants, but, how much of a difference it makes and how much you are willing to spend is what it comes down you. You could spend a couple thousand on "magic potions" and may not even notice a difference. You do not need any vermiculite, that would just lead to increased water retention. The FF soil alone should suffice and have enough drainage as well. I must say, the FF pots are not bad but there are nicer pots out there. I quite like the Plant Matter pots and @Ill_Evan has some pots which are really awesome as well and priced decently. May be worth speaking to him about some fabric pots. Cannot remember the name of the pots. You will need a loupe or microscope to check the trichomes on the plants closer to the time, as well as a pair of trimming scissors. But you have a few months to go before that is really going to be needed. I don't feel there is much need for the coriander, try it if you want to though. Dont think it will do any harm. You may need something for pest control, can address that later on if need be. If there is anything else you need, you can get it around the time you need it if you are on a budget.

2 weeks later and the seeds are developing. 3-4 weeks from harvest. CNL #1 CNL #2 CNL #3 Green Crack Slurricane Orange Kush Cake Looking forward to the first warm sunny week of the season.
