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. Don't expect the same level of performance like you have with YouTube etc. Loading times may be a slow at times. Accepted video file types are mp4, avi, 3GP, MOV and WMV

Hi @Weskush, I have just started selling a range of locally produced CBD products that I am totally behind and believe in. I have been searching for a supplier halfheartedly for months. Met up with the owner and he is legit, honest, and can also provide the paperwork/analysis if need be. I have not loaded them to my website as yet, but have stock of tinctures, oils, salves and serums. I have had good feedback from the people that have already bought from me. If you still interested drop me a message and I will send you a pricelist. @prom Sorry for your experience and it would piss me off too, especially for medical reasons and today we have all the tools and technology to test. But its also the reason why I like to know the people I buy/work or deal with as you can never know people too well even if they are a pastor or priest.

Good shout too. It could be any of the micro elements mentioned. Your soil, fish emulsion and worm juice may have been a bit strong a that stage. They are pulling out of it now and looking much better I know what Nitrogen toxicity looks like because some of my clones are showing the claw leaves. I backed off with the feed for a week and just gave them water. I first search through Google Image and look for similar pictures.

Yea it's very strange... I was stumped, then took to Google for guidance... And even Google is a bit scant.... Which leads me to believe that there are/were a few issues happening at the same time. Most deficiencies lead to a sad unhappy looking leaf... Likewise with toxicities... Leaf generally stays to look like shit... But not his leaves... They are happy looking for the most part... Very confusing lol. The only other time I have seen something similar happen is with cloning gell, I see weird disfigured discolored nonsense on the new growth and then it's fine

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.

Update: The ladies are all still good this morning. No show on the Herijuana and Critical, so waited for tonight, full moon, to plant them again. Pictures to follow. The clones are all happy in the dome, and going to soil tomorrow morning probably, root depending. Hopefully, the established clones in big pots can find a new home soon, as I have plans for the seedlings and the space is running out. I really need that farm

I can help if needed

It's not that bad, I will get a picture of the one in flower now for you, and have actually just let go my last clone of that today unfortunately. A lot of strains are hype and names and what the latest fashion is, and I wasnt that impressed with the blunicorn There are about 4 or 5 strains left now to choose from.

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!

Update on the ladies. I topped T1 and T2 on Sunday night. I think I'll let T3 just go with the flow. Both are looking good with no signs of stress after topping. These pics were taken at 7pm last night.

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.

Day 21 The view of the remaining 6 yesterday afternoon. Had them out of the tent for a good inspection. 2 more have been cut. No13, the outlier from the start is just a weak plant, while no11, is showing its hermie nature quite oddly, pushing growths along a fan leaf stem, but nevertheless has been cut. Wherever there is abnormal growth in that nodal area its a clear indication of the hermi trait. Even though those arrowed growths are showing only pistilate and not a single ball sack yet. So that leaves me with No1, 2, 5, and 6. Their side views. All virtually the same height at 70cm. No1 No2 No5 No6 And of course let's not forget the male. He is now reached his peak at 6 weeks of flower. I have been monitoring his development, deciding if I want his pollen. He produces copious amounts of pollen, pushing a fair amount of resin glands... Overall a lekker male. Something that many aren't doing. Don't grab the first pollen that your male gives. Grow him all the way out and check him out. As always I don't collect and use pollen, but always a live male, so he is joining the remaining 4 in the tent for only 2 days before going to reveg. That's more than enough time to ensure a full pollination. Wish I had a better camera to better capture some of his features I like. The view of the 4

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

Plant training post. Topped and bent.

Red - Strawberry Cola auto by Exotic Seeds yellow- pineapple express auto by Fastbuds green - Russian Fuel auto by Flash Seeds Purple - Purple glam kush auto by Bulk Seed Bank So as you guys know we ran out of Russian Fuel Male pollen and alot of seeds are forming but there are many pistills remaining. Remember this front pgk that we sprayed with sts. Well she has started reversing. Do I remove her now or keep her on sts inside to pollinate the remaining pistills? That would you guys do? I want more seeds but I also cant sell 2 parent seeds unless its like a autoflower mix. Colleting and Pollinating by hand is really a mission and not fun.

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.

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.
