  1. Flip day. Mid term report. Firstly sorry for the overload of pics. 55 days since seeds put in water. 49 days since seedlings have been in soil. So I planted directly into a 10l pot and stunted growth due to soil still being waay to wet in my opinion. I carefully removed plants and repotted into smaller pots. Soil in 10l pots I spread out to dry then added extra perlite. It seems to have helped but I think the soil still stays on the damp side for a long time. Plants recovered somewhat after two weeks in the smaller pots and were repotted into the 10l pots. They still seem to be battling though. Temps max: 28.6 min: 16.4 RH max: 71 min: 39 Water 750ml once a week or so. Feed & nutes: Tried Epsom salts in the water a while back. The second last water I gave a half dose of GHE tri part. Bio neem spray every two weeks. Not very happy at this stage but on the bright side I can see a root or two popping out the bottom of the pot. I think that's everything covered.

  4. So flip day, noooooo. The girls are loving the upgrades. Just another week cap’n So the runt, #3, has shown the most growth and will be moved to the flower chamber. #1 and #2 will be pushed a couple more days to see how much more growth I can squeeze out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  7. Hi everyone. This is my first 'real' grow. My pilot grow was bag seed and under only 60W for most of veg. Strains: Green House Seeds - Franco's Lemon Cheese. Barneys Farm - Gorilla Zkittlez Setup: 2 x 15 litre pots in a 1m x 0.5m cupboard conversion with a 240W QB from @Light It Up. I have the dimmer set to 120-180W through veg and then 240W during flower. Soil: Freedom Farm, green bag. Amended with Dirty Hands elemental blend and some extra goodies, kelp meal, insect frass, mycoroot and some earthworms from the garden. Mulched with alfalfa straw/hay. Nutrients: During veg I use Kelpak (first few weeks only), Biobizz Biogro (half-strength), Biobizz Activera and calmag(alternate weekly with Biodyne). During flower, I include Freedom Farm's Fire Juice, replace Biogro with molasses and give calmag more regularly. pH adjusted to 6-6.5 (shout out to @The_StonedTrooper for the pH pen!) Currently on day 32 of flower. I topped the zkittlez once and lemon cheese twice. I was hoping to fill out the screen but the zkittlez is much smaller. It didn't respond as well to supercropping and took longer to recover from the transplant. Also, I think I topped it a bit early and could've used another week in veg. Could be the strain, could be the seed, could be me. Can't complain too much though because those flowers smell and look amazing :) Flower day 12: day 26: day 31:

  8. Hey all, So doing a bit of a clean up and there are some items which I am unlikely to use so instead of wasting, would rather give it away to someone who will make use of it. I am in JHB, shipping can be arranged but at your expense. Let's start with some seeds, I somehow ended up with 3 Chocolope seeds from last years grow off. This is a cross by @Totemic and these are regulars. These were listed at #3, I wrote down what it was on a piece of paper but have since lost the paper... So now they are mystery seeds which I never got around to growing. The fact they were regulars put me off. I am sure it will be waaay better than bag seed! This is Killing Fields crossed with something which I do not remember, also regulars. Now I have so mycorrhizal fungi, I have moved away from using myco in this form and prefer to use it in a powdered form now and this has been sitting gathering dust... So rather have someone make use of it I feel. 1KG of myco: This was a sample I got from Plant Matters of their myco, which is mixed with vermiculite. Finally, we get to some sprays and such which I am unlikely to make use of. From left to right, we have the following: Xterminator - which is practically the same as Pyrol. LOTS left in the bottle. Florakleen - Meant to help with flushing, I no longer flush. Not a lot left in the bottle. Pyrol - well, I think most will know what this is, spray to kill most pests. LOTS left in the bottle. Neem - Once again I think most will know what it is, spray to kill pests as well. LOTS left in the bottle.

  9. The soft switch deadline has arrived and before I miss it I have then officially flipped The One and made space for her in my already pretty full flower tent! Plans were made and I have found her a space. I did a final little clean up of the lower branches as with this training technique I have found in the past that keeping the lower branches has always resulted in airy buds, so I'd prefer the energy being diverted to the tops. Otherwise, haven't changed much. I will do one more feed at 1ml/L of the Gro/Micro/Bloom and thereafter start with the preflower nutes, say in a week or so. Before After

  11. Morning my fellow Grow Offers.. So it's flip day.. The girls are looking all perky this morning and nr 2 will go into Flower on Monday only though.. Will push my luck a wee bit.. Just want to get about an inch of extra growth on her.. I'm kicking myself for not having them under a propper light from earlier on. Have a flipping awesome day..

  12. Yep, for Autos you don't really have to put a backup light in. They don't care and follow their timer. Autos are the easy work around to load shedding. Even stage 6 or more, is annoying, but doesn't stress the plant. If there would be a way to clone autos.. would only grow those. Looking very good.. just go on with what you do.. you do it right

  16. 5 seeds, 4 plants, and all 4 grow completely different. I got the fake Charlottes Web from the same seed bank.. and as one of the plants is going black.. what a Pini shouldn't do.. I think i got 18 fake seeds from Canada. I wrote Pacific Seed Bank my opinion.. never heard anything back from the guys. I finish and see.. right now. I grow the plants with not a lot of enthusiasm

  17. for autos and load shedding the stress will come more from there not being airflow. but that's the same in all cases, not autos only autos don't grow according to light cycles. you can even flower them perfectly fine on a 18/6 cycle also if you got PM or any other mold spores floating around in the tent already the 2/3hrs of no airflow may allow them to settle and find a spot they like.

  18. Wow thanks man, I am halfway there, expanded a brick, washed it outside with the hose for about ten minutes. I will test the runoff to see if I need more rinsing. Then over night into calmag :) Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk

  19. Day 42 - day before the flip This week a did small amounts of defoliation every 2nd day. Thinking I might need to do some more though, T2 is looking mighty bushy. Here's where we're at. T1: I did the most defoliation on T1 so far. Nice canopy forming, still think I could trim a few more round the bottom edges. T2: The leaves are twisting in an attempt to get more light. I think I need more defoliation on this girl. T3: This girl is looking good, nice big fan leaves. I've let her go Christmas tree in hoping she sports a nice fat cola. Lastly a pic of the whole tent. I'm also growing a Dinafem Gorilla Auto at the back.

  21. July 2 - 49 days since seeds got wet and the lights switched off this morning to mark the end of the veg light cycle of 18-6. Later today the lights come back on and will begin their 12-12 cycle to the promised land. Its FLIP Friday! Let's turn these little pot plants into bouquets of flowers I've added 2 rods under the pots to increase air-to-soil in the hope that will speed up consumption of water and therfore drying up of the soil in these cold and humid times. Will probably find something else to serve this purpose more effectively over the weekend.

  24. Mhhhh a dehumidifier only works with a cooling unit, you can't collect water with a hot circuit, would just vaporize it again. Your system releases warm air, is most likely the hot air coming from the compressor. My hot air gets to the outside over a 150mm aluminum duct from the dehumidifier unit, has two exits, processed air and waste air. Is a multi function thingy, can heat, dry and cool. I only use it on dry or cooling function during summer. Now in winter i have the heater inside the tent. One vent circuit brings the warm raised and most moist air to the outside. And the second brings it from mid tent range to the veg tent to use the less moist air again to heat the tent up more. The hose ends in the toilet ^^ so no tank issues. But.. no cooling.. no dehumidifier working

  26. This Dream Queen seedling has a weird leaf mutation.. While inspecting, is it just me, or is it way to hairy for her age? Two weeks from germination.. I just need to mention it again @Light It Up This QB240 has me hooked for the space I have.. Anny and all beginners need 1 or 2 or 3 or or.. Another one is definately kicking al the other tech required down my priority list.. I'm in love..

  27. @Prom sounds more as if you are using a portable AC on dry mode? AC will cool the air while trying to remove moisture. Dehumidifier will warm the air while trying to remove moisture. AC dry mode does not work nearly as well as a dedicated dehumidifier and cools ones room which is not always wanted and you cannot set the desired RH with an AC. @Marzcanna How many liters can it remove within 24 hours for interest sake? Looking for something like the GMC 26L dehumidifier which removes 26L in 24 hours at 30C and 80% RH.

  30. I got an ec of about 0.5. Added about 30 ml liquid calmag to 15 l water, might have to dose again tomorrow. Will measure the runoff and see. Ph is around 6.8, a bit high but plan on bringing that down with my fertigation. Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk

  31. Will it be just the one plant under the 600? Of so or if not, I would chuck the 240w led in with the 600w and see which side of the tent does better... Like a side by side

  33. Twisted leaves, I'd think are like us with lemon juice in our mouth, we pull twisted cheeks, so thinking similar. Your pH pen, do you store it in storage solution? If not, and a cheap or cheaper one, you probably have a bad bulb now, or even microscopic deterioration on the bulb from nutrients, or similar. They are known to be the most cost effective bulbs used and they can come defective from the factory. You need to look after that bulb, it reads liquid, through a material, and needs to be moist to be fresh, and therefore accurate. Plant 2 with twisted leaves

  34. Hi guys, so we harvested the Strawberry Cola auto at the first signs of amber on wednesday. She is absolutely packed with dark large seeds and has that classic old school cheese terps. Im so exited to start some Strawberry Vostok Regular Autoflower seeds. Thats what we decided to call the cross. Hope you guys like the new packaging. The rest are going well and the Russian Fuel will be getting chopped tommorow. Lots of purple autos are on the way. BTW we need testers who would like to push these indoors. Pre orders on the strawberry vostok's @GreenGrow Garden Route

  35. We must definitely find out. As I said if you running the app, the small pulls dont show up on the graph properly I've also watched a kak load of videos on YouTube before I purchased, and they all hit for a full load of bar, and slow. So I tried both, and stuck with, what seems to be more your thing too.

  38. Week 6 Update / Veg Week 5 I guess this is the last report before we need to flip to 12/12. I tried getting as much vegging and training done as I could and I hope I didn't put them through too much stress. This week consisted mostly of keeping the canopy flat (well, trying to) and mid-week defoliation before heading towards flower, except for the organic lady, I just let her be and her side growth has almost caught up to the topped growth so I'm happy about that. All in all I think I'm okay with going into flower. Before defoliation: T1 - Alyssa: T2 - Amy: After defoliation and a little more training: T1 - Alyssa (sadly couldn't save the one stem and it needed to come off ): T2 - Amy: The girls are now: T1 - Alyssa: T2 - Amy: . T3 - Janis: Current tent view - @The_StonedTrooper's clones will have to be shifted around between outside and tent to stay in veg while I wait for my other tent to finish up : Have a great weekend fam, good luck all with the next stage of our adventure

  39. duuude fuck yeah that is awesome, you're doing a heck of a job promoting youself here as I am also looking into buying some mantis pots for myself!!! they so sexy man! what will be the product lines of focus for you? more equipment than nutes and stuff? I see you got your know how on those nutes man, plants are exploding with growth! all the best brother and may your business thrive just like those beauties that you got thriving there!!! add on - looking at the mantis pots that freedom farms sell, I can't find the ones with the big cannabis leaf on. I am looking online so maybe just not spotting them. Do they have the ones you're using?

  42. What's crackalacking fam! I have a few updates for you all. With just a handful of days to go before the flip, I have cleaned up the plants and taken Off most fan leaves. The remaining leaves will really take off and set the scene for flowering. Stakes and trellis will be added to support and guide the stems to success and bountiful harvests with fat unwavering dongs I enjoyed @iGrowDagga post with the ruler for reference and decided to include some of my own ruler for reference pics 5 more sleeps guys

  44. A mate reminded me I should have the fans aimed at the canopy. Sometimes I overlook the most important things. I ended up defoliating selectively in order to maximize canopy surface area, aka a bit of both.

  45. Judging Criteria Plants are judged on their condition when the grower states they are finished, however other factors are considered in the process as well, such as: How consistent was the grow - minimal hiccups along the way How well the chosen training technique was executed Maximum utilization of light General good growing practices Plant Condition Judging Criteria Bud size and condition Plant colour Minimal burn Minimal leaf clawing Minimal leaf cupping Minimal pest infection Lack of deficiencies Number of bud sites No signs of stunting Plant size - this plays a roll but plant size must be accompanied by quality. As varying training techniques will produce varying sized plants. The size of a plant won't weigh heavily in judging. No excessive stretching Judging Panel @Totemic @PsyCLown @420SA @Green Leaf Organics - a late but very welcome judge addition

  49. Day 40 - 16 Days Before Flip The One is nearly ready for LST, just waiting for a little bit more length on the branches before beginning. It will definitely be in the next update. Otherwise continuing with the same nutrient regime as stated before, fed once since last update. 16 days until the planned flip so I think I will have just gotten the training done in time.
