I sure will keep you posted, and sorry to hear about the WPM, not nice at all. Still have the RB on the go now, from the competition I won here a year ago, also a Reg and not sure yet, but it's going for it, strong so far. Maybe will gift these new RB pack of 3 to the forum as a gift, possibly for the most popular new member of the month, and or biggest contributor for the month, something different and keep the energy up.

I was working in the tent with the Gelato selection, removing abandoned fan leaves for ... an hour. When I left the tent, my right arm was rather sticky and the smell made me imagine to wrap a paper around it and set it on fire. Thank god, I still got my right arm without any burn marks .. those plants are part of the Gelato I tackle the potency record at Canabliss.. lets see if I fail 28 March ^^ is fat in my agenda No1 (Sativa Dream, at least to me hehehe) No2, i had em praying from start to finish (fingers crossed, about 10 days to go). But temperatures escaped me a few times over 26 (<10 times), never over 28. Winter harvest might have more punch... so far I am a happy chap Meet E, she is one of my favorites in my Gelato pheno hunt. And just if you ask yourself... if I don't have a goal, i get bored

Well Fam, this morning my parcel from GSR arrived, within expected time and have been blessed with some extras (pictured on the right) Soon, I will start a grow diary on the Humboldt, and the GSR strains below, and will run you through from the birth to harvest. Really hope you all enjoy and follow with on the adventure and learn, guide and probably even laugh with me. Thank you again to Green Smoke Room and to my family for taking the time to read and or follow along with me. Blessings StickyD420

This Totemics Chocolate gelato F2 male has pollinated every plant in my yard and two other locations. It looks rough because its been moved around alot and we break off and collect the pollen of about half of the pollen sacks. You simply break them off into a glass jar.

Week 9. A few additions to the cupboard, 240W light, exhaust fan and scrog net. Did the last top dress and switched to 12/12 today. Feed alternates between plain water and molasses/seagro mix. I'm thinking of getting a bloom booster for weeks 3-7 of flower, will probably go with this https://zootly.co.za/product/freedom-farms-fire-juice-500ml/

Josh D's story is that he got the "kush" cut from Matt "Bubba" Berger, who flew it in from Florida. Everyone started calling everything Kush so they named it original kush. I grew up in Cali, never even heard of the term Ocean Grown before the internet, always thought it meant original.

Worm tea can definately be used on cannabis. The NPK ratio will depend on what the worms are fed, so will vary greatly. As per the interweb the general NPK seems to be 1-0-0, its true value is as micro innoculant. I normally use my tea as a general plant tonic and microbial innoculant at 50/50 dilution with water. It contains many macro/micro nutrients, humic and vulvic acids-all round its great for your plants.

Fishmix or Grow... not at the same time both! Swap each feeding. Once Fish, next Grow..

To help keep the seedling up, you could use some twist ties, paper clip or even toothpicks to help support it. They can all be stuck in the coco and then positioned so that the seedling leans against that and is not on the floor. Hopefully she pulls through and survives, but being an auto any stunting can lead to decreased yield. Photoperiods are generally better for beginners to start with - if there is a mistake or two, you have time to correct it before flowering the plant and can still obtain a decent yield.

The ferts you said you have are unfortunately not ideal for fast growing plants like weed... The time it takes to break down the food into usable elements will just take too long... A liquid fert is better. On a budget, seagrow and nitrisol are champ and you can get it almost everywhere. Otherwise check out the biobizz range of liquid ferts... Pricy... But oh so good

@Keegan We agree with both @Bos and @CreX Your best options will Pyrol or Neem, the BioGrow brand provides both those products if you want to do some online research. They are known to be one of the organic options lately for pest control

looks like some kind of bug damage. likely whitefly or thrips damage. you are going to need some neem oil or pyrol . and by the looks of it you should pick up a bottle of nutrients while you are at the nursery. what strain are you growing there?

Love their new packaging, looks slick. I grew their Durban crosses last season and had a nice harvest. Big ups to GSR. Powdery mildew is rife this year, was in someones garden today and pointed out their 2.5 meter beauties have powdery mildew all over. And guess what, the grower wont do anything about it, and still smoke and sell it. Talking about that, there is a new product coming to shops soon, was chatting with the guys in Jozi yesterday, it sounds crazy, cant even remember what its based on, but its a harmless fungicide.

Yeah we have some barefooted, dreadlocked dodgy shroom dealers now, not the old original hippies. Shout when you in the area it would be nice to meetup, actually we having a cannabis social meetup soon if you are interested.

Hey @StickyD420, I am about 1.5 hrs north of PE where the biggest pineapple in the world is situated. Always happy to meet new cannabis community members. Until we meet, take care.

Your calculation is correct, but his isnt wrong either. He just uses a 240 driver for 140 watt load with a dimmer. Without a light meter... yeah, ok, but why i would not use strips, but 2 288 V2 boards, around 32$ a piece, knocks 100$ off the bill, uses the full wattage of the driver.. still leaves you clueless what distance to hang... what is important using 24 of those Stripes, would be very expensive... using just 140 watts on a 1.2x0.6 is very ambitious, buds might be more on the fluff side

Luckily for the rest of us...

You think simply growing by the ocean magically makes a strain an OG? Strain's became popularized because of the black market and later medical, and those black markets growers used clone only cuttings to deliver consistent quality. Florida's cut of OG kush is called Triangle Kush, a lot of the cuts stem from the same genetics and are just named after the region or grower who held them. When people refer to "OG Kush", they generally mean one of the elite cuttings. So to have OG kush, you either need to get a clone of the elite cuts or get genetics directly from one of the elite cuts that are considered "OG kush". In my opinion at least. This article might be more clear of Josh D's story. https://www.humboldtseeds.net/en/blog/story-og-kush/

Yes

I have something in mind [emoji16] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

I think a lot can be tied back to Grateful Dead concerts, lol.

Oh I also have two worm farms, is it recommended to use the tea that they produce on Cannabis trees? I wasn't sure on its NPK ratio and when it should be used.

Pretty sure the OG just stand for original, it was just called Kush and when other cuts started calling themselves kush, they named it the original kush, at least that's what I remember Josh D saying. Lineage probably from a bagseed of chemdog from Tahoe at a grateful dead concert, and chemdog itself came from bagseed of dog from connections at a grateful dead concert.

Fert wise, Biobizz range is good-Grow, Bloom and Fishmix. Seagrow and Ecobuz multigrow also good and available from Builders and most nurseries.

Im thinking the same thing in regards to the coco being abit iffy from builders. I did not buffer the coco, did not even know that was a thing until this morning. Ordered some buffered coco from hydroponics. Will most definitely also get some explogro or trichoderma. On saying that the double choc is looking WAAAAYYYY better then it was this morning. Definitely a underwatering issue.

Yeah, when growing from seed it is always a lucky packet. Could be one perhaps did not develop as quickly as others and cannot handle the extra nutes. These are things you pick up on overtime and adjust accordingly, use the charts to start with and once you have a better grasp, can start to adjust the ml/L quantity according to the size of the plants and so forth.

Good info @Marijuana Seeds SA! Only thing I will add change is neem is suseptable to heat and light... So only spray very very early morning, at least an hour before any direct sun... Or late afternoon when it's already cooling down and no more direct sunlight. Also, I would go in at the low end of recommended strength... Which is I think 10-20ml per litre, so 10ml... If you make it too weak the solution won't be as effective

Thanks, I'll look into it, I actually just have some basil seedling that I planted in a bag near it so I might just put them in this bag with her.

Oh ok thank I wasn't sure If I had to spray it on the leaves or if I just had to pour it into the soil, thanks. I'll spay it when I get home from work. Do you have any fertilizers that you recommend that are easy to come by at like the hardware shop for budding plants cause I have two other big plants that are flowering right now.

Dont repot autos! Put the seed right into the final pot... i use 10L pots. If the auto is a fast grower, 20L pots. Only LST during veg and leave them be during flower. Defoil during veg ok, during flower not!

Aweh, from the photo those white marks look like thrip damage to me. There is also some sign of leaf borer but they are ok in small numbers. What have you got for pest management? Pyrol or neem will work for the thrips.

The story I've read while researching the origins of OG is something along the lines of. Dude was growing or knew the breeder that was growing along the California coast, some real good stuff. So this dude was sitting around at a party smok'n up a storm and recognized his strain/flavour. Asks the question ' hey where's this stuff from '? Guy replies it's Mountain Grown. Dude answers back ' na, it's Ocean Grown, it's my strain '. Fack or fiction? There are so many different opinions but above and Original Gandsta are the two main arguments.

I did some defol last night. Hard to see with the pics, I was in a hurry so did not try take the best pics possible. The autos look much happier this morning, especially the Gelato, not droopy anymore. Before: After:

Where about in the EC are you from @Chris Jay and it would be lekker to meet you, I'm in PE. Also know of a few guys in Plett, but not of these guys, and lekker to see you blessed with that honour to judge, congratulations.

Coco not my territory @CreX and @PsyCLown might have better input. First three weeks, autos and photos do about the same. And no need to say sorry ^^ I was just curious to have a clear look in what you planted that youngster Plant it 1cm deeper next time, should get rid of the husk by itself.

Week 8. Looking happy under temporary 60W flood light. Next step for the cupboard is to cut intake and exhaust holes, and lightproof the doors. I ordered an inline fan, ducting, and a new light this week. Carbon filters are out of stock everywhere

I feel once I've isolated some mothers I'm totally going to mix up some strains. Levels

Experienced.. wouldn't say so. I just like to know what works and what doesn't. When the law said unlimited seeds.. I ordered 11 strains a 10 seeds from fastbuds.. then they changed the draft ^^ and my order got confiscated. Now we check what works, before Jerry sends the rest Their work is a bit useless.. as at the end.. you get your seeds.. they just waste more CO2 on wasted transport. And as the WHO took Cannabis off the list for dangerous drugs, I am willed to go head to head with a judge because now they just restrict my liberties as a individual. Cannabis is important for my personal well being and quality of life.

Normal mail, the idea is to see what customs do with the shipment. Is fully declared and a paper inside, free samples. After the draft... that is legal. Lets see...

i have a 30 seeds shipment on the run with Jerry, no stealth, fully declared THC seeds, testing what will happen. Just in accordance with the law. Checking what customs do and if they let it pass, Fastbuds will limit max orders to SA to 30 seeds but ship official. Post office just useless... 3 to 4 months those mailing easy take till delivery... not sure that slow service you can call a mail service

I've only experienced this one with mjssa, they also gave me a discount code and sent a free seed the next time round. I stand by their customer service, and I still have that affiliate link if anyone wants to get some from them Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

yo man! you wont ever get banned from this forum for opening up our eyes to this decent attempt at fucking the general public over... thanks for this man. i doubt any one this forum could do anything about it either way... but when the next person decides to check out a review for Trophy seeds, they land here and decide to not spend their hard earned moola on this crap. and you have helped the whole forum stay away from them.

Store credit for beans that don't pop is great, except for the retailer that has to cater to all levels of growers. I know alot of seed banks started that way but i imagine it got way out of hand. Personally I was reimbursed by GSR for 2 seeds on my first grow that never germinated. Honestly, it was probably more my own fault than faulty beans. Regardless they kept me happy and I have been a returning customer since.

@Totemic I set my veg light for 24/7, and I'm keeping it that way,. Its always been on 18/6. And I'm sticking to photo's from now on. I learned a lot about recessive genes these last few days. I learned why a third of my F3's looked like a completely different pheno and me thinking I was hit with stray pollen shelved them. And i realized my mission going forward is the duck foot gene. Having that recessive gene in a stable regular would be something to work for. In the early days we just cranked up the heat, to look for hermies and a few got pulled. We haven't had any problems with herms so far. We are finally at the point where we are crossing males from Dark horse and solfire gardens with dutch passion and humboldt genetics. This mistake wont happen again.

This might just, be the first reveging auto mother ever... This phenomenon might never before be documented... But this is the nice thing about the forum... all will be revealed in a few months time... I learn new things every day.. on the forum and off... 26 years ago when I had my first joint I never for the life of me thought that there is so much to learn about the plant... Not even talking about breeding...
