This is the End ^^ 7 September Update Time to judge ^^ time to write my opinion. I had 2 of the same Phenos and with just 3 beans I do not judge a strain. If somebody sets a pistol to my head and tells me to judge or die.. I wouldn't keep the Tortoni in my mother tent, not the Pheno I had. Would say is very heavy on the Sunset Sherbet side.. and also with my own Gelato selection, I preferred the Thin Mint Cookie side. Buds grow vigorocity isn't what I am used to.. or what I select when choosing a plant. Bud grow behavior was at best average. Picture to compare what I mean... the Pineapple didn't made it in my Mother tent either... not tasty enough, bud size was great. Harvest: 61.2g dressed, 8.7g dressing material on Sisa THC Content: 14.8% AW = average Water (moisture content, 63%) Dressing Pics What i collected on the glove while dressing (both plants) What I took for testing Final pictures Sisa's roots Training Pictures Close up on the trained section One branch was 3 cm lower as the rest, rest was more or less even. Happy with my training result. (Actually got the idea from @Stinger96 to do the pic like that ^^) Effect Pictures (for the fun of it) Tarryn said first Bye Bye to Tarryn ^^ Now you know from what woman I selected that name ^^ And Sisa's final pictures

So today is due day Would definitely benefit from another week of flower, fade is only starting to happen now, and she needs a good flush what do you guys think?

Starting to see a purple fade on another plant now. Time to whip out the microscope again. These girls are close. I'll post again later with some measurements too.

Tonight I gained the courage to transfer my babies into their final pots. I wouldn't suggest LST before your final pot as this definitely complicated the whole situation and made it a lot more time consuming . I'm not sure if others have a different opinion on this Popped in to the local grow shop for some more soil and decided to grab a carbon filter while there. Many people told me that smell would only become a problem when flowering starts but that is definitely not the case here. If I leave my place for a day I come back to a flat smelling like a group of hobbits ripped major bongs throughout the whole place . It was on special and that definitely aided the decision making. Plants looked quite sad when first put in to their new home, but literally 2 hours and they were looking much better. 1 of the 3 are doing something a little strange, leaves are looking somewhat "Folded". Is it possibly just a bit of over-watering? I don't believe it could be heat as temps are consistent between 23-27 and it's only the 1 out of 6 plants. Or am I just being paranoid?? Training and topping is paying off, I'm getting the results i expected. Thought I'd give them a day or 2 before going hard on that again.

Hello all. After a week of lurking underground I've finally germinated as a new forum member. I recently decided to grow a plant or two, not that I even smoke much anymore, but just thought it would be fun to grow now that it's legal. I told myself that I was going to keep things very simple and avoid overthinking things (straight up soil, water, seagro and sunlight vibes) but alas I've been doing a fair amount of research over the past few days, and now I'm excited to learn more and hopefully raise these plants to be as healthy and happy as possible. I'll be growing outdoors on my balcony, and I've got 2 bunches of auto-flowering seeds - Humboldt UK Cheese and Dinamed Kush. The latter is a (almost) pure CBD strain which I decided to grow so I can use it as mix since my THC tolerance is super low these days. Current assets and tools at my disposal: freedom farms classic soil 2 x 9l plastic pots 2 x 10l freedom farms fabric pots bio-bizz grow bio-bizz bloom seagro kelpak diatomaceous earth red clover seeds (companion crop) wurmbosch vermigro (don't think I need this but got 2 bags for free) peat plugs soil ph and moisture meter Will likely have a lot of questions over the next while. Looking forward to being a part of this community!

Day 63 in flower ! #1- This one will be my chosen one , she was topped. Plain Coco/peatmoss/perlite with Elemental Blend and 15% wormcasting/compost. Plain rainwater and Fire Juice at 3ml/L (2ml is recommended) , no nuteburn on her and nice tight colas. #2- Different pheno , smaller buds and rocket shaped. She was Fimmed. Elemental Blend as above mixed 50/50 with FF Premium(Greenbag). She got some nuteburn as you can see. #3-Also different pheno , looks like foxtailing . She was left to do her Xmas tree look. No nuteburn on her. I like her also. Yield should be more than other 2 . Pics #1 , #2 and #3 Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk

So not going to lie, the plants I took down really did not come out very nice. The bud was lacking frost, yield was really low and popcorn for days and the most bizarre part is the pistils went a dark colour and did not compliment the bud and made it looks even worse. Sigh Here are some pics, not the best pics but not the best bud either. I feel the root aphids may be partly to blame here. Slurrijug Black Cherry Pie Bananium Slurricane Will likely be taking down more plants this weekend though, hoping these plants turn out better - they look good at least. Will check trichomes towards the end of the week. Might give some another week if needed.

With the previous grow we rand out off pollen too early. This russian fuel was pollinated already by this point but I know we could have got alot more seeds out of her because she kept making new pistils all the way to the end. Im betting these autos in the tent will do the same. This time Im happy having multiple SVF1 males going at different ages. They are all brothers and sisters that come from the same mother plant (strawberry cola auto from exotic). It doesnt matter in what order they cross each other, the outcome is still be SVf2's and new f1's from the cinderella jack,lemon larry og, strawberry cheesecake mothers..

Top unmarked row is all Stormtrooper seeds for outdoor season.

Who the lady I'm confused af This wild yo

here is my peyote collection 6+ months olds 1+ year olds 2+ years olds 5+ years old 10+ years old, she made flowers and seeds for me ❤ The bunch, and random photos these where used for grafting Here's the grafts of the two, onto san pedros And then, of course a butt load of Lophophora Williamsii X Pereskiopsis Spathulata Grafts, from the same batch that is one year olds on their own roots, these have been grafted for 6 of the 12 months, see the size difference anyway, won't make you guys look at every single one of all of these it will take forever! but yeah, have not eaten any of the peyotes, yet

Hi guys, I traded some feminized seeds and a frisian duck clone with a friend and got a bunch of really cool new seeds. He will probably make clones to sell on. Started them all on Sunday 2 x northern lights royal queen seeds autos 3 x chocolate gelatos fems from totemic photoperiod 1 x pineapple express from fastbuds auto 1 x banana blaze fem from dutch passion photo 1 X critical orange punch fem from dutch passion photo 1 x bloody skunk from sweet seeds auto 1 x triple cheese fem from barney's farm photo I will keep the photos for outdoors and probably pollinate them all with Strawberry Vostok auto by hand. The 3 duck autos germinated , 1 strawberry cheesecake auto germinated, the cinderella jack auto didnt make it. Probably going to keep the tent going a few more month's pollinating all these autoflowers with SV.

3 lookers and a runt. The only reason for continuing with the runt because 4 are needed to fill the space. I don't have much hope for her. All 4 plants have been topped and tied down. Timing is something that needs attention, today seems like a good day for calculating when to flip again for the end of life finale. Two studs to select from for the Gauteng pollen chucker fest 2021. I'm feeling the one on the right, he stinks and is nice and compact. Feel free to have your say on these dudes. All 5 plants outside are making pollen sacks, they either hermed from the stress of moving out side, or they were incorrectly sexed from day one. Probability of user error is high. I've dumped the Ram oscillating fans completely. Upped the FAE to what I think is just short of 200m³/hr(filtering the inlet). The FAE rate ripples the leaves non stop. Starting to think the Oscillating fans are not necessary, and maybe that's just more hocus pocus to sell more stuff to home growers. Time will tell. I hope I'm right, because I'm loving the minimal, less clutter look inside the tent. The duct up top pushes air in and directly onto the QB, the bugger runs cool, cool, cool. Not sure if it's frowned upon, but have been using the favorable conditions in tent to dry a few pieces of biltong for our December adventure. Works like a bomb! Would totally recommend.

Brother is that a big banana or a small banana

New flowering update

New seeds dropped popped A little something of everything

The leaf of the Gorilla Zkittlez

Everyday at lights on: Okay so I gave final final watering today and that should be it until harvest. It has been a bit warmer the last few days and will quite likely stay that way this week and with anticipated harvest day being Friday, we are 3 days away so that should be a good sweet spot between giving the plant some moisture to swell up with in the remaining time and also limiting the moisture carried into the drying stage. #1 and #3 got less as I expect those plants to be harvested before #2 which may go a few days longer. #1 - 0.75L #2 - 1.5L #3 - 0.75L Light has been running at +-50-60%% since end of week 9 of flower. Viva la electricity units, viva! #1 is looking like the one that will be put forward as the chosen one.

San Pedro I believe. Peyote is a small cactus, looks like this: The active ingredient is referred to as Mescaline though. If it piques your interest, do some more research. Go down that rabbit hole!

So a friend from a marine group is gifting (trading for a few corals) me an old chiller (perfect working order, albeit in a dire need of a clean and maybe a re-gas).

So I flipped on the 5th. Does that meen I get judged today? If so.. what is required of us for todays judgement...?

Looks good , yeah pushing mine for another week or to week 10-11 Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk

That was a good choice. I used iy many times and got back great results. And with that bio range you can't go wrong...

You have definitely landed at the right place! As a newbie myself I can vouch for this great community who I have learnt bucket loads from. Very welcoming to new-comers and always a helping hand when needed. Look forward to some updates on the outdoor Autos

Holy Fuck, that Sugarcane looks crazy with all that trichomes. Wow. Hat off to the other ones. Especially that Twisted Helix...

Thanks for the welcome GGG! And also, thanks for the advice. So I jumped the gun a bit and have seeds in the peat plugs already I only realised afterwards that it's probably best to wait another couple weeks. I'm in Cape Town so the nights hopefully won't be too cold, but to be safe I think I'll bring them inside at night for the first while. Yup, I'm planning to plant in the final pot - most likely the 10l fabric pots from FF. At first I thought I'd go for bigger pots but ended up choosing 10l because I don't want the plants getting too big. That should be unlikely either way though since they're autos. My balcony is north facing and probably gets a good 8 hours or so of direct light. It will be more in a few weeks.

Got some lucky trichome shots today while giving the girls some TLC.. I like more milky to clear so I would say a week or so to go.. Some amber showing on the Sugar leaves..

Still not much going on at the moment. But here they are

Latest Kindergarten update

Looks good, I should really sort mine out at some point.

Takes stupid time to grow unless you graft it onto root stock --- which I did not do, I should plant my other seeds.

Once again I think you got it mixed up with mycorrhizal. Not all fungus forms a symbiotic relationship with every plant. Some only with certain plants etc.

good to note that depending on which rhizomorph and which crop you'll have variabilities in the outcome of the relationship. some will be companions some will be competition.

thanks for clearing that up for us. silly me!!! replace rhizomorph with mycorrhizal

Nah, they should be okay just give them a little more time. Did you soak them in water before putting them into the pellet?

...and a beautiful lady at that, kudos man

just a little - this could possibly mean nothing here, but just a few pointers to keep in mind when working with pine when composting we avoid pine wood/bark/needles all together, because it messes with the ph of the soil. when planting acid loving plants such as Fynbos, Hydrangeas and Azaleas it's recommended to add some pine bark/needles to turn the soil acidic. pine oil is also antifungal which makes it harmfull to some microbes, the mycelial mass you see there is most probably one specific species that love pine and might not be a rhizomorph (a fungus growing in symbiotic relation with plants) that looks to be more of a saprotroph (fungus that grows on dead or decaying organic matter). when we forage mushrooms we don't pick mushrooms growing on or near pine trees as the pine juice / oil is not good for human consumption and the mushrooms or well any microbial life upsorb it unknowingly. generally I don't like putting any decaying wood in my soils, unless still in the composting heap while it's cooking. the reason is because the life inside the rhizosphere is not active enough to break down whole peices of wood fast enough so it becomes a breeding ground for unwanted pathogens and even lures insect life, who knows there might even be eggs already laid inside the wood.

looking good my dude!! you're a natural!

Welcome @itchylemon! You're in good hands here, share some pics with us

Welcome to the dancefloor, can't wait to see how you bust a move for us

Seems so! I had initially bought a different growing medium, but exchanged for FF after browsing through this forum

Jolly good show dude...

You seem to be on your way to happy growing. Freedom Farm soils is a great way to grow.

Week 15 Update / Flower Week 9 Had some PM creep in in a few spots and decided to use PapaJ's KHCO3 and it seems to have been effective, I realise it will rear it's ugly head again but I hope to keep it under control until harvest. So far so good... Also made a 2x rookie mistakes this past week in the hydro res and it could come back to haunt me, 1) I bought the wrong Micro for my water. I use RO water but bought the hard water Micro which has less cal/mag in, caught it in the end and countered with CalMag, 2) On top of that I swapped the Micro and Grow dosages and only realised 10 days later. Eish, I guess it is what it is. I did a flush with FlashKleen over the weekend and changed the res to Ripen. The ladies are doing good overall and I think it's the last little dash to the finish line. T3 has had such a good run though. If the end result is as good as she grows I'd love to do a grow of just her and be able to get the light where I need it. The hydro ladies are still going to need some time to finish off but again, T2 is such a strong plant she has big node spacing but if you could concentrate your efforts into just her needs she could easily stack those spaces. Enough rant, let's get to it: Group photo: T1 - back right: T2 - back left: T3 - front left - I think this is the star of this show so far:

so Frrosty.

So a bit of an update, took these photos on Saturday but didn't get a chance to post them until now - been busy trimming some plants which came down. Twisted Helix: Bananium: Frosted Apricots: Sugarcane: Really excited to take these plants down! Some new ones which I have yet to try myself as well.

I think what it comes down to is, people / the community want to be able to do it on the cheap and not have it limited to those who have millions to risk and lose. Something more achievable for the average grower out there who does not have deep pockets.

I've taken a few shots with the microscope to check how the trichomes are looking. It's super difficult to hold the microscope and phone still to take the pic. I recon they can go a bit longer.

Thought this picture had a cool story. Picked up Mr Acton on the way to the Cannabis expo last weekend, he had already rolled a tarrie joint, check that bend. We went straight to aaptwaks table to learn some skills. So we have Mr 8 joints a day on national news, mixing with 3.2 seconds joint roller. How is this for a mad match. Before Learning to roll After

I also often flip to flower for just 4 or 5 days just to speed up the reveal. Going back to veg after only being in flower for 4 days slows absolutely nothing down. Plants in fact will respond quicker to Flowering once you do flip them again later
