Day 6 Week 7 Update I sorted the branches after the picture, rest the same, no feeding.

I was too, and coming for the win now, jk My thoughts are that having someone like me, who has an artistic eye (this is the word around town), and I think not that bad at photography (if y'all aren't lying to me), might be good for the panel. Also, I would take it all seriously, and try not enter, to be more fair. Then... Been thinking if I do get the gig, that I might start "The Wild Card" and on top of the prizes, I would give out a prize to someone in the competition, that maybe didnt win, or had impressed me (with forum approval of course). If you havent already noticed, I'm selfishly selfless, and get more out of giving (read that again).

Quick & short update, ladies been harvested within a period of 2 days mostly due to lazyness to trim. Plants were wet trimmed and hang to dry at a target of 16C & 60% RH I'm glad it's winter because it's easy for me to keep those temps constantly though out the day and will probly aim for a 2 week dry before moving to the curing process. Night Readings: Day Readings: I have also taken a couple of pop corn bud and have gone through the process of Sublimation Cure (said to be one of the best methods) . Make sure to check my other post on Sublimation Cure where I will update it with the results Sublimation-Cure Nothing else for now. Next update, I ll be posting final results aswel as cured nugs and smoke report Blue Dream (coco) and Blue Dream (Soil)

Hey bud. It's quite funny that you ask as I actually went on a little smelling investigation earlier today but no distinctive terpenes pushing through just yet but I have a feeling that it will be a diversely stinky bunch at the end of the day On a happy note the Tortoni #2 and Bubblegum has also started showing some nice snow covered tops Bubblegum Tortoni #2 Twisted Helix

The 4 as they are right now.

Day 40 10 days to flip. Today they got watered with a light dose of blackstrap molasses introduced for the first time. 1 week of growth (minus me removing the odd fan leaf). I've been pressing the branches downwards by hand to try develop a more flat+even surface for light to land.

It's definitely not getting worse. I think it caused some damage and now we're moving on. Yip, I do shake the nutrient bottles up before the feed. Here's some pics from today without the light on.

You may still enter, but obviously you will not be allowed to vote in that particular month. Especially if we have more members on the panel, then one member can participate if they really want a prize or want to show off a round of pictures. We are a breezy bunch, you see.

But not allowed to enter..

This was my Sannies Mad Berry More bud than leaf

This was it

More than happy to help if you need another member.

Okay! Definitely one plant is more exuberant than the other, no matter... I have trimmed off some more lower fan leaves and ones that go inward to the plant to expose lower growth. Some stems seemed to grow a bit faster than others, these I have pinched and rolled to slow down the growth for a few days to let the shorter stems catch up. Plants are happy and are not displaying any signs of stress or issues, it is smooth sailing for now Only 10 days left for them to do their things! They will be considerably smaller than other plants I usually put into flower, but I am hoping for the best, juiciest, most succulent flowers come harvest time

Here is what the light is doing, hopefully my coverage is okay. T1 has 6 mains, T2 has 6 and T3 has 7. I think this weekend I switch and I’ll have time to do the necessary ipms and feeds T3 is almost growing over T2 but not by much, if anything I’d prefer to just pull her over ever so slightly.

DAY 35 Sins there is about a week or 2 left or less before the flip to flower I have decided to take a chance and repot 2 of my gals. Hope the gamble plays off, didn't look like they had any shock during the re-potting, the Velcro makes it very easy to trance plant them Added about 10L of coco to the new pot (ph/nut), buff for the new soil to match as closely as possible to existing media to prevent fluctuations and shock. Haha there first time being outside Back in there tent happy again

Hey growers. My name is Rob and I'm an avid gardener from SA. My interests lie more in the 'alternative' gardening like hydroponics. I experiment with different and easier methods like kratky. I don't have a grow room as yet. My first grow last year was from an unknown seed which turned into a highly sedative cannabutter. My current grow is from the 'free' palomino seeds from the website in a kratky bucket with soluble nutrients from the nursery. I've been researching different methods on how to extract different cannabinoids on yt: thca, cbd, cbn for my partner's medical ailments to make a salve! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Well my fellow growmies... Seems assif Covid will force us to hone our skills further... The deed was done.. I potted up to my planned final pot but I fear it was a bit early as the root development was far weaker that I antisipated.. This might come back and bite me but so I learn.. No1 was put in a Super Frass FF PC and DE mix.. Nr 2&3 in a FF PC with some DE, Rock phosphate and Calcium phosphate mix.. They were droopy since the last watering and that was part of the reason why I decided to pot up.. But as you can see there were allot of space for more root development. Part of my issue here I think is wrong watering technique.. I gave them a good soak afterwards but never before have I been nervious when doing a pot up and today I was... They bounced back quick.. Not realy want to do any of my torture chamber routines on them as I can not afford to loose vege time.. I will see how they do and maybe do some HST & LST next week Tuesday to have them recover before the flip on Saturday the 3rd.. Enjoy the weekend and stay safe.

Very nicely done.. If you top your plant and take a cutting, they'll be the size my plants are now..

On the T2 plant, the yellow seemed to subside but there are still two leaves with some yellow edges. The T1 plant on the other hand just went full-on with yellow. If there's a prize for most vibrant and colorful plant, I might be in the running. LOL!

Lol it looks like you are growing an entirely different plant with the yellow tips hehe... The rest of the plant, actually even including those leaves look healthy and happy...

Just joking.. You enter you win... There should be a advanced grower SOTM..

Continually removing the lower leaves works for me. I pluck away any lower bud sites too.

It looks like Popeye's bicep

Same, fam... same.

Johsis

Get this man involved!

That looks to me, like root damage growth. I'd say 100% no pest, if there is one, it's in the soil. Added, do you see more damage to the same spot each day, or notice more spots each day, in different areas?

Aweh @Growbaron Feeding a plant high levels of nitrogen during flower may also create leafy buds like those. Sunlight hours this time of the year will also push a plant to reveg. In order to help with this situation we'll need a bit more info about your grow setup.

I'm always ready

It's already been enabled but we'll have to see how the host server handles the bandwidth once the feature is enabled. A few guys watching videos at the same time may be problematic so we'll have to see. Unfortunately this therefore means that your video may be removed if this doesn't work out. Just some important things to know: You'll need to ensure your file size is lower than the 300mb limit. The limit is there to manage the threat of bandwidth overload. This website will not compress videos on upload and you won't have the ability to select different video qualities to save on data.

Be carefull of cbd products that are locally made . While there are guys out there doing it properly there are also a lot of people that are doing it really badly . The laws state that per serving no more than 20mg with no more than 600mg per bottle/packet . Anything over this needs a doctor's prescription. People also don't realize that you can only use cbd isolate that has been approved by SAPRA and imported with all its paperwork from the UK. Any cbd that is extracted locally be it distilate, isolate etc is techniquly illegal to use in products as its not SAPRA registered even if it's under the legal 0.3% thc . While the little CBD producers are really not going to be gone after by SAPRA unless someone has a really bad reaction and an investigation is launched , it's still worth bearing in mind when deciding on a product . I have lab tested a large number of local products and the majority of the "full spectrum" contain large amounts of thc . If you looking for a good broad spectrum CBD have a look at Madisons Botanicals . They are made from locally produced cbd and contain 0.2% thc and I have seen there COA and have had them nafs tested . In the end of the day though due to the cbd used techniquely they still an illegal product in SAPRA's eyes

It looks like it. They are growing very fast now too

What do you think? Its the first thing that came to mind. Locked out by too much nitrogen? https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/molybdenum-deficiency-in-poinsettia Molybdenum toxicity will also exaggerate purpling in late flower. Only tiny amounts like 1-2 ppm.

Nice selection of varieties going in here. Does the resinous one have much of a smell yet?

Seems your method isnt the fault in the mix. i actually tried to find addition info about the problem you have...and it was really hard!!! i think you have a few problems tho... 1) the yellowing of the lower leaves like that... the closest i can find is a zinc deficiency 2) but zinc deficiency alone doesn't make sense, the very dark inners of the leaves potentially indicate a nitrogen toxicity 3) and the only other thing it could be is a deficiency in potassium , but i don't see the usual spotting on the leaves. zinc is a tough one to identify because many other elements in an imbalance can cause a zinc lockout. zinc starts off at the bottom of the plant and works its way up, so using new growth may not be a good way to judge plant health in this case. has has the problem gone? is it spreading or getting worse, or do you think you have made it through whatever bad vibes you going through? another thing is do you shake your bottles before you use them? the nutrients will loosely separate if left undisturbed and you may find you are not getting a smooth ratio of nutes per dose

I can help if needed

whats up and welcome!! do you have an outside light that shines on the plant at night? (Bathroom light, street lamp, outside light, stoep lamp, neighbors house lights) that plant is in the process of not quite knowing what to do... it is trying hard to reveg and grow just leaves again, but its just not getting enough light for that, and its getting just too much light to flower properly. keen to see how it turns out bud!

Mid week update, the plants are doing well, put the blumat back on the bed, was going smoothly plants seems to be drinking steadily with little movement from res but today they gulped and the bed is super wet so I hope it’s done for now and I’m not running into issues. Layered a bit of oat hay for more surface coverage as the dicondrah didn’t sprout as rapidly as I would like. Don’t know how much space I’ll be left with in this format. I also topped T3 again, that makes up for the lost arm

Welcome! If you want to stick to hydro, might be worth investing in some nutes which are tried and tested for growing cannabis in hydro. GHE Tripart Nutriplex (I think Nutrigold now - from Greenthumb hydroponics) Hortimix (Cheap, but requires a bit more knowledge and equipment to get it dialed in and working well) Adding an airpump with an airstone will help as well and isn't too expensive. Soil and/or coco are good alternatives too.

Happens dude. One bad bottle can throw everything off balance, but it is literally the last thing to troubleshoot i.e.. your nutrients.

They are really spreading out! ... are you considering pulling the trigger soon ?

End of week 4 , they been doing good and fed humic&vulvic , Fire Juice and Probiotics. First pics Zurple Punch , second White Wedding Cake and lastly the Strawberry Fields . Last two smells really nice.

Day 33 The 3 Tortonis have moved into the finishing tent and are now under the 340W lighting. Countdown is on... 17 days left to flip. Before putting the water tray of the tent back in after cleaning, I put some cardboard down underneath it, just to add some sort of insulation between the pots and the floor to try keep temp up. I plan on introducing neem oil this week as a preventative measure for nasty stuff. Just been watering with occasional activera or liquid gold microbes added.

Had a look online (Takealot etc...) and there's so many different brands to choose from. Is there a legit brand that you would recommend regarding full spectrum CBD drops? Any input would be highly appreciated

Is a very bad wake up, when you get taken in by cops... CBD is legal in most countries.. THC isn't. The medical bottle you fly with can get you to jail in worst case. A Dutch friend left his CBD bottle here and didn't flew with it to Germany. He didn't trust the content.. I thought he is a bit overly careful.. but after my experiences now.. he actually was spot on to not take that risk. The SCAMMERS think there is no easy way to test what they sell... but these days you get a test for 120 Rand.. shouldn't be to much to test what you carry with you or you consume. I have no shares in this or make a gain.. but I very much recommend to get your material tested.. at least you know what you consume these days. You will most likely be surprised how little CBD is actually in the product. Lying to sell your product becomes a bit a nasty habit today.. profit at all cost.. not a world i enjoy living in.
