Good day Growmies A few of us was blessed with some Charlotte's Angel CBD from @PsyCLown Thanx again bud.. I germinated 2 beans and these two will form part of my very first Indoor grow.. Quite nervous and excited at the same time.. Thnx to @zairek and @Wulf who had a big hand in the grow setup.. I will put up the setup the weekend.. The first seedling started pushing soil Monday morning and by 12 she was showing face all ready.. Both were potted up and will be grown outdoors for the first 2 weeks to strengthen them up.. Not sure how the move indoors will effect them..? Will keep you all updated weekly and thanx again Psyclown.. Cuttings will be available to Forum Members in the CPT area and Garden Route.. For free..

Final little defoliation as the first amber trichomes are spotted. Prob comedown in the next couple of days. Spotted some foxtails that is prob because of the stress they’ve been through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, we are supper stocked to be back and being active in the community again We know towards the end of mid last year / import on demand orders were killing us and we were pissing off clients. We believe we have resolved 99.9% of all the orders that were delayed, HOWEVER if you feel that you didn't get your money's worth or the items you orders (Swapped out for other stock), please drop us a email at sales@cannabist.co.za or PM us and we will see what we can do. The way in which we handled the stuff ups was unacceptable and we have changed our service levels and offering entirely to only sell what we have stocked in SA with us - No backorders what so ever. We have set out clear service level agreements in order to ensure we respond in a timely manner - Please see the info on this section https://www.420sa.co.za/forum/135-customer-support/ This has been agreed to by 420SA.co.za, failing to meet these SLAs will result in permanent removal so we are taking it seriously. We thank the admins/members of 420SA for allowing us back, and will be working hard to keep SA growers happy.

Hi guys Quick update, SHES A GIRL!!! Took sum pics just now, will upload. I am over the moon, first grow ever! I would really like to say a big thank you to @Stinger96, dude u rock! Also wanna thank @PsyCLown and @Prom for your constant guidance . She is measuring 85cm in height, beginning to get a very slight smell as well...according to the sellers site there should still be another 7 to 9 weeks??? (From pistils to flower).

Sooo I know I posted an update just a couple of days ago but DAMN... I just love flowering cannabis so I thought I would share some more pics. I take out the pots every time I water to feel the weight of the pots to determine the amount of water needed. So this gave me a great opportunity to take some 1 on 1 shots. The clones I am running in the middle of the tent have also started to show some nice Tricome build up. Super excited to see what the next couple of weeks will produce... Family photo Upper cut clones The rest of the pics will be side view followed by bud shot. Old school - Ripper seeds (the only sad sight in the tent.. fuck knows what went wrong with her...) Purple Queen - Royal Queen Seeds Glookies - Barney's Farm Upper Cut - Oni Seeds Chocolate Haze - Royal Queen Seeds Special Clone -

Don't know if this pic will do the badass og cheese justice, but damn I'm happy with her. Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk

@Batista Seedsman sometimes packs some . Had a few guys say they are very underrated or maybe they just getting better with their pheno selection. Will check if we have some spare White OG - Might be a prize for the first post @Totemic Thanks for the continued support as well, got a big drop of your beans coming on the site in a few days as you know, sitting packing them - Your beans are looking top notch

Busy looking out for that sign to harvest. I took some more bud shots to survey the trichomes The trichomes all for the most part look super milky and a few still looking kinda glassy on the Jock Horror and Royal Gorilla. Aurora Indica Royal Gorilla Criminal + Jock Horror Zkittlez x Purple Punch Grand Daddy Purple

Looking good bud! Good luck!

Neat. Like it. Got some in cotton wool pads atm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Little Guardian....

Awesome buddy.. You really did well... seems assif we have a Green Thumb in da house! Well done she will reward you well..

Welcome back @Cannabist ! When lockdown hit I received my order about the same time I ran out of riz and really hadn’t a clue where I could have purchased, but luckily my order came with FREE STUFF! thank you

Good to see you made it through 2020. Loads of negative press and I'm sure a huge learning curve on supply and demand. Here's to a better 2021 for you@Cannabist and all you peeps who had a kak one last year. PS. I agree with your take on@Totemic strains. Have a couple of his choc gelato crosses and loving it.

Ag damm....didnt even think of that

I'm more interested in the fact that after 8 weeks, Zir(lol!) continues as a nonbinary specimen...

Just got this invite Super stoked and proud of my cannafam SA! Just sharing the invite here for the 420SA crew, peace n buds dudes n dudettes ✌

During my high school year's all I wanted to do was go travel. My grandfather who had been round the world a few times said to me one day ' travel your own country first before you go travel the world '. I did just that. In the days when hitchhiking was still safe'ish, my thumb took me from the East coast to the West coast, Cape Town to Harare. I hit the road to the airport with 180 pounds in my pocket and returned 10 years later. It's kinda hard to explain but visiting those small dorpies and farm towns in SA prepared me for a lot overseas. I got into indoor growing beginning of lockdown thanks to reservation moonshine and the bug has bitten. I've decided to travel SA once again before I venture overseas but this time it is for the quality and service I believe is available in this country. Everything about this grow is Proudly South African. The setup: CABINET. Wife's custom shelving converted into a cabinet. LIGHT'S. @growopz QB75'S. 1 x QB 3000k/4000k. 1 x QB 3333k. 2 x 15w Osram led strips 4000k. Rigged and ready. Once again@growopz came to the rescue. Approached him with a budget and what I had and a plan was made. SOIL. JouMaSeSoil. Coco - Peat Perlite Vermiculite Basalt Rock Dust Michorizzae Diatomaceous Earth Bone Meal Dolomite Lime Worm Castings Kelp Meal Microbial Tea Ph tested at 6.5. Soil is made by a Cape Town local and so far so good. SEEDS. @Bay Seeds. Bruce Banner 3 x TNR F1. Glamberry x Lemon Jedi OG. Master Lester ( Dr Grinspoon x Lemon Jedi OG ). @Totemic. Choc Gelato x Ghost Train Haze. Choc Gelato x Slurricane. @Daggafontein Genetics. African Buddha. Big shout out to all of the above for making this possible and look forward to the journey of finding those South African breeder's and gem's. Next year bud's.[emoji109] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

So finally got some germination. Really looking forward to the grinspoon genes showing. Looks like nothing else I’ve seen from photos and need some sativa in the bottle Got 2 out of seven popped. My normal jiffy plug didn’t get the first o es going so went to the old paper towel with two and both took. Did manage to dampen one off after it got stuck with a helmet head. [emoji22] So this is the one. Stretchy a bit. Here’s to hoping it’s a girl Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Growmies, So I've stopped the autos for now and cleared out my grow space. I've been vegging a slurricane clone and a tart pops clone that will get all of my attention now. Flipped to 12/12 light cycle on 7/01/2021 and watered at pH 6.4.

COUPON: freeseeds Limited to one customer and no other products will be allowed when using this coupon To help get potential and new growers off the ground and into the market, we have come up with a free seed offering* whereby the grower just needs to pay a packaging and shipping fee and we will send them some seeds. First time buyers are a bit skeptical regarding ordering online. It's also a super kak first-experience when you drop a grand (R1000) on seeds and find out the hard way that it can be a bit of a challenge to get things right the first time round.. The seeds We have chatted to a few local breeders and they are all keen to partake, @Totemic has already sent us some seeds for the project, #best. The idea is that we get promo seeds from breeders, mainly their f1/2 etc that they don't have enough space and time to run/grow and in return we ask the new grower to document their grow on 420sa.co.za. Even if 1 out of 30 actually does a grow log, we think it will be really great feedback for the breeders. The cost R150 packaged and delivered anywhere in SA - We have to do a bit of admin managing and packaging the orders though have tried to make it as non-profitable as possible, we will review the pricing in a month or so. Also as we are in CT, orders within CT should be cheaper due to cheaper shipping costs however we also have guys that order in outlaying areas which sometimes end up being R100-300. Hence we balance out the costs and keep a flat rate. The launch The offering will be live by Monday, 18/01/2021 Limitations The offering will be limited per a customer to a one time only offer, so if you have placed a "free seed order", you can't get another. If you want to create 200 email addresses and ship to funny locations, we can't really stop it but hopefully we don't have any funny business. Our hope is building up a great client base of future SA growers. As mentioned regarding the grow logs, we will point the new comers in the direction of 420sa.co.za so they can get some first hand advise and grow the community even further. We are super open to ideas and feedback, so feel free to drop a comment Image below was designed by https://www.thiagobianchini.com/ for and is owned by Cannabist (Will be printing some shirts soon ).

I must say that you have come along way since your first grow on the forum. It seems assif you turned into a pro over night.. These girls really look mouth watering... Well done bro..

@PsyCLown Hey bro, got my beans 2day, wanted to say thanks man!

And it’s done. Sad to see these ladies go but life goes on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guys, she's a girl!!! Got home, went to check on MJ, and to my surprise, Pistils!!! Yay!! I uploaded sum pics on the grow diary... Thanks for all the input

Welcome back buds.... I was hoping for a comeback from you guys... Let's see... Thumbs up for pulling through...

Thanks man. First purple I’ve grown and blown away seeing them turn like this. Drooling already every time I visit them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome back

Luckily you are part of this forum and now you do!

Being an auto, you want to be more selective with how you defoliate as well. However does not look too cramped, airflow looks as if it will be fine etc. I like to lollipop my plants before flower and during the stretch phase to help reduce the popcorn and fluff and help increase airflow and light penetration etc.

Oh and here is the seedling/veg area.

Hey Hey, sorry forgot about the pictures last night I have attached. Questions answered below: Yes, top right veg, bottom right equipment. I haven't Yes, the divider is fully removable. It attached with a stronger than normal velcro (on mine at least) to hold it up). Its not meant to be used how I am using it, but I made a plan. Sure. You would just need to reverse what I did Still playing with it. I just set it up last week and haven't run anything yet. I think I could probably only get 2 full size (veg) plants in there, or 4 smaller ones. So my inital attempt will be to just cut out 4 weeks of veg (from seed to 4 weeks) in the veg section, then move them to the flower section and continue veg for another month, then flip to flower. This way I shave off a month hopefully. I do need to get a better light in the veg area, but I am playing with that still. I usually start seedlings in a jiffy pellet, then to a solo cup (you get the red american style ones at some tops spars and other places), then a small pot, I think its a 2l litre, then 20l fabric. Sometimes for photo's like my big WW that is currently running I still did another transplant to a 40 litre. This is because she came as a clone. Trying to basically do a small perpetual grow yeah. No mothers yet, not enough space for that. Ideally the end goal would be a whole other tent, a mother and veg area in there. Soil is FF (green bag), BioBizz nutes, Ph'd water even though I am growing 'Organically', Light is a phoenix sky 200 that puts out 240w. Using compost teas also and thats pretty much it. I like to do some auto's also, and usually try time it with my others. So like in this tent now, I have a Critical Auto which is 1-2 weeks from done. Rock hard nugs so far which is great as it is my first grow with this light, a GG4 which has caught up to the WW clone. If you get it right you can often manipulate the plants and grow to sync there timing. I will attach an image of nov or dec where you can see how small the GG4 was and how big the WW. But with some simple things I managed to get them both to a good size and ready to flip together. Oh and then I run an automated wifi switch system to control everything. In the pics you will see the shelf and division. In the pic with all the plants, the auto is bottom left, GG4 bottom right, and WW at the back. And I also added the pics from way back where I started this grow with the auto and WW. With it empty you can see better.

I think that was him harvesting

It is a long time but can happen at times. Some plants are stubborn when it comes to showing sex.

Yeah, does not seem right... Might infact be a photoperiod. Not unheard of or all that uncommon. I have personally purchased autoflower seeds and ended up with photoperiods and so have a few others, or a mix of photoperiods and autos. It could come down to genetics and breeding, or as simple as the seeds getting mixed up.

Defoiling you do for a reason. In general to open the flowers better to the sun and bring more air to the plant, some strains get VERY leafy. When your plant grows as nice and open as yours, see zero reason to actually do a defoiling. Go on with what you do and remove the leaves the plants give up them self. Rest, let them be very nice job till now!

I've only done bud washing on my outdoor plants as the wind blows sand and dog hair all over. What I found very handy is to use a salad dryer spinner after my wash to get most of the water out before I hang to dry.

@Freshlypicked I am using the Umya range, but I just have the 3 basic ones, Pot Radix, Pot Grow and Pot Flora. I use those in conjunction with EM Pro Soil and am really loving it. Super easy to use and at that price point I think I will be sticking with this range for a while. I still consider myself a noob when it comes to growing so I'm in no position to "recommend" the brand especially since I have nothing else to compare to, but I enjoy using it and it works for me. @Totemic Blueberry Glue - 10L Pot - FF Premium Soil - Umya Nutrients

Hi folks. End of week 3 and I am already seeing some top heavy buds. All the plants are coming along really well and the stretch added roughly between 20cm to 35cm. I have pulled back on the seagro feeding and I am focusing now on Biobloom and Molasses. Hoping the bloom has enough N to carry them through the last 6 to 7 weeks. I am also starting to see sprinkles of tricome on the buds especially so on the Purple Queen. The next couple of weeks will be exceptionally fun Glookies Upper Cut Chocolate Haze Purple Queen Special Clone Side view tent Top view tent

A remarkable recovery. Holly comes from a Transkei origin seed. At a month old she was fimmed by a red locust so I surrounded all of my seedlings in tulle and dowel tents until they were big enough to withstand pests. Today, Holly is chest high and showing sex. I have pruned and trained and she is nice and bushy. I am hoping for some good bud from her.

I would send more anytime bud. It's just the shipping. We have a ton of new seeds and crosses. Cover the postage and ill send any active forum member free seeds. I love seeing these diaries. The seedpacks get fuller the more we smoke.

Ooooh you just got to love flowering cannabis. It's just so cool to see the progression from growth tips to mini budlets. I finished the second week of flower and I am quite happy with the progress. Really excited to see the end yield. Hopefully 300g dry trim weight on the low end. Happy new year to all fellow growers. May the year yield good results Glookies Uppercut Chocolate Haze Purple Queen "Special" clone Full tent

Amnesia Haze auto - Week 11. The others will come down over the next 2 days. For a first shot at autos, I'm quite pleased.

Looks very white.. so nope, wait for the sugar leaves to turn amber 100%, they turn first. When you see some color on the calyx's, I wait for 50% white / 50% amber before I cut. Patience

I work for a digital agency by day and then work on my lil project Cannabis Events South Africa by night! Nice to to meet you all
