I'm coming along for the ride chaps. Not competing of course! Seeds began their soak at 21h00 last night. They'll be going into cotton wool tonight

Seeds arrived! Lets get poppin' Exact same bottle of ExploGrow I used with previous grow off, been keeping me happy for almost 3 years now!

Welcome to my grow diary Dare I say this competition should be interesting Seeds in water and to be planted out later today. Loved seeing the dark colours on the seed, very different to what I have usually seen Good luck to all taking part

Gonna go organic. The seedlings are gonna be in a soil with equal parts of coco, EWC and perlite. I prefer using peat moss over coco but am only able to get hold of some next week and the seeds will need to be in soil before then. For veg I'll use the same mix as the seedlings with a few amendments added. Just before the switch I'll be transplanting into my own soil mix which I'll be mixing next week. Cutting it a bit short in terms of allowing the soil enough time to cook but I should be okay.

Alright boys and girls!! I have had a busy birthday weekend for my Daughter, and missed the kickoff by a bit! But, seeds are soaking now in a paper towel and drip of water and will be planted directly into the medium and final pot Hoping that by having no transplant down time I may be able to claw back the almost 48 hour handicap!! High hopes... Or maybe it's just me that's high

So I chopped all the plants down last night. Took a few pics before I did the chop chop though. Gelato - it really looks good now. Has had quite the transformation from veg until now: Pluto Cut, I think this plant actually died - I should have been checking more frequently but have neglected them a bit... So my own fault end of the day. I do not think this will be good bud unfortunately. LSD-25, well, the colour is nice. Frost is lacking a bit. Quite leafy, but I have always wanted to grow a plant with such colouring. Done it now and not sure I would grow this strain again.

quite flat on 24 degrees. The Flower tent vents into the Veg tent (one cycle).. the veg into the germination. When the light is out in the Veg tent, the flower tent is up and shining never gets cold in the Veg tent or Germination tent.

So, the last big ones left the flower tent

Was gonna DQ you for the lost sticker but realised your sticker is much better actually.

The 2 Tortoni's I popped in March also took quite a while to split open and show tap root. I think they will be happy in the jiffy pellet and probably show some action in 3 to 5 days. Good luck man

Dont stress to much I planted some seeds a couple of weeks ago and had the same thing. They all popped up in the end. It can take 5 to 7 days.

@ThricomeInstituteStudent The first thing i do when the pistils dry up, i stop with the top max... flowering stimulator. @PsyCLown posted the picture... this is how you harvest... thricomes as preferred indicator. Sometimes the plant has other ideas, might have been stunned during flower for to long, and just dies on you. Forces you to harvest. Magnifiers, photo camera with a macro lense, electronic microscope,... at one stage we all take a closer look and decide. The better you know a strain, the less often you have to check it. And sugar leaves dont count... harvest you have to learn and be patient. Look and judge what the thricomes tell you. Early, energizer, late, relaxer... and dont worry, i harvest for over 30 years and still have to force myself to wait.

love this pic man @CoolJ

So.. 3 of 3 popped and are in the 3L pots with a moisture dome. and how I plate my seeds.. gone now ^^ towels are not wet, just moist, I also see that the seeds are not flat surrounded by the towel.. just keep the air around them over 80% humidity. sorry for my mess ^^

First warning

so, the winelands area can get hot as balls, we've been contemplating a pool for a while now. sadly, the only space we have is where my mother of a San Pedro was standing... so we had to move her.... I think you all know where this is going from here, guess the topic gives it away a bit too tips will be saved for further propagating. my lovely lady lending a helping hand there with the messy bits, I got outa bed and immediately got busy slicing up some medicine, she came waddling after probably 20min later, still in her very sexy satin nighty and coffee in her hand. didn't even hesitate to sit down and get her hands dirty with the messy bits! what a team player, right? once we got going I didn't wana take pics every few minutes or everything would be dirty and sticky as f.ck, so here is the last photo for the day we did 4 doses on the day, left them to dry, here they are. all that is left now is to powder them, cook it and then the ceremony I guess.... ALSO, anyone interested in San Pedro? I am giving away for free

I'm going to copy @Promand vent my flower tent into my veg tent. My flower and veg light cycle should mean there is always something keeping the veg + clone tent warm. Unfortunately that wont help for germination as my flower tent is being used for drying this week. Not that nearly having a bunch of dry buds is ever actually unfortunate... I think I'll use an old fish tank heater in a container under the jiffies for now. Its pretty cold this week and the stress of waiting to see them break the surface after having them in water possibly to long may be to much if they are slow . I don't have heating pads and I'm not sure how much I trust them without temperature control or at the very least some good testing.

Well perhaps @Prom can chime in here a bit as well as he has a lot more experience with autos compared to myself. Pistils are an indicator, however in no way is it an accurate way to tell whether the bud is mature or not. The best way as far as I am concerned is to check the trichomes - you ideally need a microscope or loupe to do it properly. This image should help make it easier to understand what to look for in terms of the trichome colour: Leaves can be an indicator that the plant is busy dieing or getting ready to die, but as far as I am concerned it is not an accurate way to tell whether the bud is mature or not. We do not smoke the leaves, we smoke the bud and the trichomes are what contain the active ingredients we want (THC, CBD and the others). One thing I do want to mention is that when checking the trichomes, you want to check on the bud itself and not the sugar leaves as the trichomes on the sugar leaves mature quicker than the trichomes on the bud. I do not know why, but this has always been the case and if you check on the sugar leaves you may think the bud is ready to be harvested but may not be the case. Ensuring the bud is properly mature is very important as immature bud can lead to some negative side effects which you often want to avoid, such as making one paranoid, negatively affecting REM sleep cycles and leading to you feeling groggy in the morning and a few others too. Although I will admit, with these autoflowers the trichomes are not maturing the same way my photoperiod plants have been which I must admit is a bit odd and confusing - so perhaps @Prom can confirm whether there are any possible differences when it comes to autoflowers.

True, we do not grow for looks but it is part of the package I feel... Just like with food, you want it to look good and look appealing. Same with bud and cannabis IMO. The Pluto cut I feel will be a disappointment as it looks as if the plant died and then remained in the tent under the lights. Also this is the 2nd time I am running some autos. The first it was a Daquari Lime by Dutch Passion. Not sure I will run more auto's again in the near future, but let's see and I am certainly curious as to how these autos will smoke compared to my usual photoperiods. I will give feedback once they have dried and been trimmed and cured for a bit - will post some pics of the bud once dry and cured too.

Why not join the party? The more, the merrier Going hydro? Ups, just re read... cotton wool... i just saw wool.. and my infantil brain put rock infront trys to tell me something.

shit...she holds herself up well still!! sure shes flopped over...but no folding stems or anything, very cool

Something I'm regretting now, you will definitely claw back much more! and more potential growth... I would have but I don't have the space. Nice man! Goodluck!

You can run anything off the Sonoff switchers, however you will need a contractor / relay with the Sonoff for heavy current like a geyser. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2 of 3 popped and i put em in pots, dome over. Dont have the space in the germination tent for the cam too.. installed in the veg tent, just put light way more up Used 2ml root juice mix to wet the soil. FF green bag. Mixed lunch time and put in the tent to warm up. 24 degrees

Seeds are now placed in coco for germination Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

One week later, three waterings with a bit more nutes than usual and they are looking a lot greener, bushier and happier. Growth has also returned. Thanks peeps. That will teach me to ignore my plants for work

Obviously disaster strikes when you want everything to go smoothly, today while installing the heater, I managed to knock over all the pots as they were balancing (sound idiotic saying it) on an upside down pot with saucer above to elevate them. Managed to find seeds luckily. They are going into a warm wet wrap for now. Holding back till I can put together their final home which has to be tomorrow. Until then...

Got a bit too rough with the LSTing.. Bent Cola in Plant A Broken off stem in Plant B

So after dropping the seeds in the shot glass I put them in the corner of my little mother plant area. As of this morning none of the seeds had split yet. Popped the seeds into jiffies then into my humidity box and in the cabinet under the light courtesy of @Light It Up Must admit I'm feeling very nervous all of a sudden.

Good luck bud. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Yeah, just takes too much time to wash through everything. And the water wastage is a lot too and a cost. 100%. Seems to be a worthwhile add from what I read. Agreed, too much effort for me And thats why I just buy the bags.

I love my sonoff switch, only thing I regret is not buying more of them on my first purchase. obviously wanted to test the thing first, so didn't wana waste any coin. also, took fucking forever for communica to get stock in and in most cases I am no good when it comes to waiting now that I am comfortable with them I am thoroughly impressed, and for the price I might aswell have a few laying around!!! great thread you got going here @Marzcanna love peeping the grows and getting some new ideas!!! will take a few photos tonight when the lights come on, nothing fancy going on, just want to be a part of this hahahah

The seedlings were all topped today. I normally wait to see sex before I train my plants. But I am trying something new.

Sweet EC targets... I meant what ratio of the 3 so you use? How much grow how much micro and how much bloom in veg do you use, and same for flower. I ran your same ec values, but for veg, I used 1:1:1 for micro grow and bloom And in flower I went to 1:0.5:2 micro grow and bloom Had very decent results like that...

Seeds can drown.... plate them, they are moist... let em breathe.

So it seems I am falling behind... I'm awaiting a new phone and it will arrive tomorrow, hopefully.. My phone decided to go for shit last week and the tablet I am using now takes real shitty photos.. So.. Go guys I'm on your heals.. Giving you a bit of a head start..

1) Get a proper lights (I finally got a nice QB) 2) I @#$@#%#$%# hate spider mites

This full organic grow got my attentionSterkte brotha!

It's very nearly time for you guys to drop those beans! OFFICIAL STARTING TIME IS 12PM 8 MAY 2021 Prize allocations have just been announced as well. You can find the post HERE

Hopefully you can see what I was aiming for, I managed to run my whole setup off one plug. All wiring goes from my "control board" into the tent through the one vent, then into some electrical piping, then out just above the fan and to the desired devices. Never mind my lady frame sunnies, it works piele under the LED's

I posted some pics in my one grow diary, will just copy and post them here again. This is my flower tent, you can see the lights and the box fans mounted at the top of the tent. All the strings for the rope ratchets are moved to the side of the tent to help keep things neat, wiring is mostly done at the top of the tent to help keep things neat as well. Power supplies sit outside the tent, on top of it - usually some cardboard box which is on the top of the tent and the power supplies sit on the cardboard box to insulate the heat and keep it away and out of the tent. I could probably take it a step further and try get all the wiring into a single loom and try do something similar with the rope ratchet strings, but I feel that is excessive and not really needed. It does not affect the grow at all and just takes time and will make swapping equipment out more difficult if I ever needed to.

yeah.. you better not embarrass yourself and waste other peoples cash

Glueberriez is definitely something I would like to grow myself as well. We will have SSH S1 back in stock in the next 2 to 3 weeks, along with some new strains as well.

Be carefull for WPM.. Looking at the maturaty of that girl, bud rot might also be a problem..

*CLOSED* We have a default, a tie, and due to this, the hamper is mine Only playing The person who is recieving the gift, will be, none other and as the attached below, @Nibiru Congratulations sir, I will be in contact shortly to arrange the delivery of your hamper. The sponsors of the gift agreed, that even though Nibiru has thanked his own tagged comment, the others nominated, had the opportunity to do so too. To those who have been nominated, and aren't going to be receiving the hamper, dont worry, as I have something in store for you too.

Thank you @420SA we now need someone to bless with this, what is turning out to be one amazing hamper. @Naughty.Psychonaut brother, you basically said how I feel too, and totally agree with the way you see things, and yes, if I'm godly for blessing someone, then I'll proudly be godly, but I can never judge anyone myself, that is human and ego. A lot of gospel, or word, has actually been modified, removed or changed to be a tool to control the masses, and instill fear or command on others. To a way that a group of people once upon a time decided was best for humanity. Now I'd love to give back and ask for the members to please start tagging others they have seen on here, who could benefit from these gifts.

Grand Daddy Purple Fast getting the chop this week(week 9 of Flower) her colours turned out very nice and has sweet grape scents. I must say I was very impressed with this strain so far grown from seed and was a few weeks behind the clones but still ended up solid.

Mr Chameleon here has been around my plants for most of the season. I guess that qualifies him as pet.
