Coming up on my planned harvest of The One this weekend. Buds are looking frosty! Gave The One a final feeding last night and will try let the pot dry out as much as possible by Saturday/Sunday before harvest.

Happy Thursday fellow growers! This is my state of affairs while its raining lekker outside. We have a so much to be grateful for. Friends, family, a warm home, the gift of the herb and of course a lekker little handmade clay bong gifted to me from @John Stonedwell Blessings brother. You are truly a kind human being

Day 6 of Week 16 Update They got nothing ^^ Tarryn Sisa

I have not grown out any of motherlands crosses yet so can't comment. This season I'll be popping local beans from Garden Route Genetics, ZeroTreeOne, THC Tribe, and Bay Seeds

Boys have been removed,ladies back on 18/6. 3 blokes and 6 ladies was the split. Selection of the final 4 ladies for the tent will be made this weekend. As previously mentioned, big leaves in there.

Some update picks.. Days away from the chop.. This customer of mine just love the @Totemic line.. He is a convert and will only be growing Totemic from now on..

yeah, fuuuuuug the system! I also see a way of getting your foot in the door by befriending and working with/for some of the big names who got their fingers in the Agri/Agro pie already, then shoving your whole head up the bosses ass. He doesn't have to be interested in cannabis at all, he doesn't even have to know you're a cannabis enthusiast either. those guys want you to be a money enthusiast, so if we really wana have a say from the word go we need to put our love for the plant aside and focus on what those big guys want, we become interested in what they're interested in and act like you're their friend. once you see the opportunity for them to make more money, you present it with a full proof plan (as if it was your own money). now you'll need a couple "people skills" to show bossman what you made of and most importantly you need to be able to deligate without turning people against you. the love for the plant and some deep pockets will not be the only thing that gets someone in. although you can kick things off with only those resources, but if you don't have a team of people behind you and supporting you (because you're supporting them) your whole plan gona fall flat in no time. there will be a forever changing and on going battle for the guys in the lead positions and a series of ever changing loop holes that need to be avoided, so having deep pockets may also only mean so much till the bottom of the pockets been reached and our lovely government has extracted every drop of profit they can from your poor little multimillion rands worth setup that means absolutely nothing to them. a legal team will be needed, although we have a couple of those in our community and quite a few activists that make it easier to rather befriend the legal types than to just "use them". a ton of people who know their paper work is on our side here, but they won't team up with a guy who doesn't have the right motives. much more so with us than any other country out there our government will rather take any chance it gets to beat the fuck out of its citizens and steal from them before conducting good business and make actuall money to help the country. having government connections really don't mean shit, infact it means more shitty times ahead for those guys. the fact that anyone gets to spend big bucks on the governments behalf is just tooo damn rich what money? the government has literally less than no money, they're fucked. Universities struggle to get money from them.... sooooo yeah, quite a few ducks to line up before you can join the parade.

T3's control.

No probs man, I did a big defol on them a few nights ago, it was just getting too leafy in there. I've got 3 distinctly different plants in the making here... T1, this is the pheno I think looks like yours: T2, she is very tall with big node spacing: T3- the organic girl she is short and stocky with nice tightly spaced buds: Group photo:

Smoke it up man. True that we all have so much to be thankful for. We live to share

Had to spray them down again today.. Now that the room is stable climate wize I think the damage is done.. Need to keep the WPM in check, probably won't get rid of it completely.. Bloody pain in the back side.. They seem to be bulking up now and they are super frosty.. Just love it.. NR2 NR3 NR1 NR 1 has started browning pistels throughout. She is the eldest of the 3..

Day 22 from seed and gender has been revealed.

Not really. I did a test run using the propagation soil that is mixed on the farm a while back. When I asked about ingredients it was explained to me. Stoner me forgot. But like you say not ideal if you want to work with fungus in the grow. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Well then. Fuck the system.

There is a government sponsored facility opposite our bush pub that looks like shite to be honest but it's there. The owner brags about government connection's, spends big bucks supporting local business but charge's 5k/h if you want to chat to him about getting a foothold in the industry.

That's just how business works. And there is a lot of things going on behind doors that people don't even know about. Weed is already being sold to pharmaceutical companies for testing and over sea dispensaries and people have no clue that this is actually already happing and with it still being illegal. What my friends company is doing is just hitting that same market "legitimately". But do you think they are really going to be the "first"? You need to drop at least 5M to build facility, everything needs to be to the T with requirements and safety, than you need a head pharmist in charge of all operations and product testing (lab testing not smoking test) all that must be done and obtained before officials come on site and approve it which than after you obtain a license to grow. Not everyone has that type of money But there's also a big number of facilities that are not licensed and are all operating. A big number actually. And guess whos getting a big cut? I won't go to into much detail on how I know this. And the truth is there is no place in the market for us home growers, unless you doing black market, start your own grow facility or know someone in a high position in those grow ops that can aprrove you as a grower and even that you won't sell your stuff. You will grow for them.. So as for home growers to grow and sell their stuff we most probably won't ever see that because than "someone" won't be getting a cut that way

The only way to counter that as a small guy would be to grow the dankest bud that everybody wants a piece of and sell it boutique style. Commercialization comes with uniformity and meh-ness. As a small time grower you would have the ability to focus on the finer details and not on scale, outclassing big commerce. Grow the best damn niche shit you can and put the utmost focus on absolute quality so that you can have people banging on your door for more. My

That's business. The big boys undercutting the small fry for market domination. Curious to see how this will unfold in the near future.

Day 5 of Week 16 Update They got nothing... also expecting to be on track and go flush Day 1 of Week 17. The harvest day should be 2nd September, what gives me 5 days to jar and weight the material and finish the grow. I check to have the potency tests done 7th September before Noon. What a rush to get all done in time I really enjoyed this grow run with the time pressure. Learned so much from the people using different fertilizers. What a blast so far Tarryn Sisa

8 weeks of 12/12

The strains that i've grown from Motherland all impressed me. 100% germination rate and strong, vigorous growth, even in autumn outdoors. Their Banana Kush was a very easy strain to grow and yield was impressive. The only cross/colab that i've tried was the Bush Cake and also solid genetics. Both were grown in Winter and performed really well despite the cold temps and rain. This season their true potential will be tested.

They all looking fire. You must recommend he tries other breeders too... There is so much fire out there coming from other breeders. Even I'm constantly hunting through many other lines alongside my own. What I have to offer is really not even a drop in a very large genetic pool

I'm sure they will ab just fine..

Also looking good hey. I resonate with your earlier comment of 'feels like they standing still'. Thats where I am at. The frost is building like mad though, thats for sure. Can't wait to see what happens over the next 2 weeks or so.

He looks like pistols

yo @Pants nice work on the ducting!! i must try encourage you to make it a bit more freeflow. those holes likely block more than 90% of the ventilation

Go check out Build a soil they've got awesome resources and knowledge Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Yes, now you know why i swapped got the same or even little better result with Amino Boost from Canna Pro. Well invested 150 bugs... and lasts a long time.

Unless they will replace the seeds which don't germinate at no additional cost to you, I do not see much of the appeal. If you're new to growing then rather get some bag seed and play around with that until you're confident enough to germ your own seeds and maybe start with some cheap seeds. How well will they package the seedlings and what happens if they die in transit? Whose fault is it then and who covers costs? Seedlings are super fragile, at least cuttings are typically larger and more established and hardier and often cheaper than buying seeds.

The only real benefit I see is if they take onus upon themselves to replace any seed that doesn't germinate, sort of like an insurance policy. Otherwise, popping seeds is all part of the adventure. At that price tag you could just buy more seeds instead of the service and even the inexperienced should be able to get sprouting

There is no market to sell in South Africa. It’s going to be a waste of money. I hope they have very deep pockets to keep them afloat until 2023.

This is quite crazy, seems someone got their fingers in the right pie sitting at a table with the right people. R30/g "Wholesale" price is shocking, these guys are going to make an absolute killing! I worry that these big corporations are going to make it impossible for us small guys to get in on the business once it's all legal. They're being given opportunities that others are still being arrested for, and the only reason I can think of that happening is because someones pockets are being filled with cash. This is great news, and I hope to not come across as a serious downer, but this does make me worry a little. I don't know, is it just me?

I will open a Coffee Shop once it is legal ^^ I should IPO too hehehehe Is nice to have a pharmacist.. but with weed.. I prefer a guy knowing how to grow weed and skip the pharmacist So.. buy shares from my Coffee Shop.. once they are available

Oh yes im extremely excited for this since i personally know the head pharmacist of the company. They do have everything in order and do encourage anyone to buy shares once they hit the market

Tuesday 23rd August: week 8 of flower. Ladies still looking good. T3 has started developing a purple color to her leaves. My research reveals this to be a phosphorus deficiency. It must be related to the nutrients I'm giving her because another plant on the same feed cycle as her is doing the same. She's currently on GHE Bloom 3ml/l I'll flush her over the next few days to try sort it out. Photos taken just after lights off tonight.

Batch 2 - day 20 from seed

Day 97 52 of 12/12 But is starting to gain some weight , expecting them to start swelling from this week .

Week 13 Update / Flower Week 7 I still got some vertical growth from T2 this week so I had to super crop the 2 long stems to at least be a little shorter. I didn't want to lift my light any more because of the other 2 shorter girls. She seems to be going strong after that which I'm happy for. No end in sight for the 2 hydro girls, looks like they're going to flowering for a while. Ms Organic is going along nicely as well. Getting nice delicous smelling plump buds and she is still just as short and stocky Tent view: T1 (back right): T2 (back left): T3 (front left): Have a good week guys

Still just water. Day 54

You know the buds are not that big but nice and frosty. I think this one will probably be able to go 11~12 weeks before it’s ready for my taste. And I hope she fattens up quite a bit. But I doubt it.

Some frosted blue gelato in you face check you checking this frosted biatchhh

Yes. I have an ‘08 iMac24”, beautiful machine, stunning piece of solid aluminium architecture… Can’t browse many web sites because something or other is not supported anymore. There are YouTube videos where these machines can be loaded with Windows 10 and work pretty well. It’s on my 5 year plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
