The 1st batch I prepared got messed up due to clumsiness.... I started it up again and now we are at part 2. The rice water had a sour dough smell to it which meant it was on the right track. I took it out yesterday and it smelled sweetish which meant it was good to go. The 3 layer were also quite visible and I got to work this morning. My ingredients/steps for the next part: 500ml rice water (middle layer of rice water) 1L full cream milk Jar to place everything in. I have this spout jug which is really handy. Put rice water in jug, add all the milk and cover with a breathable "lid". I just use kitcken paper towel. As long as it can breath... Now its back to the cupboard for 5 - 7 days so that it can do it's thing...

Just an update on the light I ordered. You can see my total cost I ordered it on the 24th it arrived yesterday. Very happy and so are the plants.

I used to go for the unbleached OCB papers, but now I like this pack better so I roll with them

Hi guys I've been very scarce on the forum of late and just thought I should clear the air before any speculation arises. Firstly, I am in the process of starting a new business and it has been all systems go. There has been planning, ordering, building and a lot more. I just don't have the time to sit down and spend time on the forum at the moment. That doesn't mean I haven't been visiting at all, but when I do there is another issue which I point out in the paragraph below... Secondly, and this has been an issue for quite some time now... and that is site speed for me is really bad.... it takes about 2 minutes to load a page and I have no idea why. Loading a growoff diary is a nightmare that I often flatout just give up on it. This doesn't appear to be the case with everyone so it comes down to my ISP. An ISP change may be the solution but it's a mission and one I'm not willing to try and address at the moment, given everything else I am busy with at the moment. Make no mistake, I am still fully committed to this forum but my livelihood must take precedence at this time so I just ask for your guys understanding and patience. I know I have fallen behind with the growoff as well as forum competitions and will do my best to catch up this week. Please bear with me This does however mean that our SOTM may possibly not run again till later this year or possibly only get going again in Jan next year. So I'm really sorry about that one guys. I have put a great deal of effort and my time into this forum since it was started back in 2014 and I was always worried that there may come a time when I need to drop my guard for a while. That time is now but as I say, this isn't a permanent situation and we will get this forum firing at all cylinders again once the business has hopefully hit a groove. Thanks all for your understanding

So I cleaned up the Tortoni, banana Mac and Slurricane, flipped them yesterday under the qb. I am afraid I have left them get too big but I do have some space left if they really stretch, mainly worried about the slurricane.(Pics below) I moved the remaining 3 moms to the smaller veg tent, and have 4 established clones going, but going to take more soon. (Pics to Follow) My outdoor clones are all established and the roots are growing out the bottom of all of them so have some hard graff to do this coming week with the light hours moving pass the 12 hour mark, it's time to get my outdoor veg on!

We should get a pool going to help with the forum running costs.

Ya bud the process happens quite fast, store bought soil would be somewhat dormant I would think, once you start inoculating the soil adding food into the system, grow cover crop of different varieties, you start innoculating the soil with indigenous micro-organis that inhabit the cover crop seed from germination. Creating more diversity. Introducing mulch, the benefit of mulch are honestly enormous. Covering the soil stops oxidation in the top layer of soil, that top layer is now moist and humid, allowing for even more habitation of microorganisms more decomposition, I want to really see if I can beef up my mulch game. you want organic moist and humid

I would do some research and get some soil recipes, play around with ratios until you have your own recipe that works for you, trust me you will get better results mixing your own soil especially when you have it dial in, and if growing in organics that same mix will get better and better after every grow (reusable) I keep mentioning over and over that i have nothing against these brands but "For Me" mixing my own soil gives better results for cheaper, and I can add the exact ratios i need. Its not to say these brands are not good because some are actually quite good and i have used them in the past, but mixing your own soil can give you the same if not better results for much cheaper, these brands are basically doing the same with a recipe that works and selling it. If you starting out than I would recommend you begin with your base soil/coco/compost/aeration a common ratio is 33% of each (later you can experiment with the ratios) once you got your base you could get yourself a bag of "elemental Blend" and add it to the mix and you done, amend with elemental blend every 4 weeks and basically give your plants nothing but water. You can also skip the elemental blend brand by adding your own ratio of amendments once you have an understanding of what each amendment does and what the plant needs. At the end of the day doing this way will save you some cash and you might even end up with a superior product

Must agree with you on the Mammoth, I got a 1.2mx1.2m from Futurama last year June and my zip is giving me issues and some light leaks by the zips. My smaller China Town tent that I bought 2nd hand(older than 4 years) the zips are still perfect and no light leaks around the zip.

when a company strives to keep to their mission statement as well as RAW does, it makes no sense to look anywhere else for quality papers IMHO when RAW was a lot less available than it is today, i opt for my next preference which is OCB Slim. growing up and learning how i like to smoke, Rizzla was the main rolling paper, but damn that paper taste is so strong if i am forced to roll in white bleached paper. peace and love guys!

Well done bro! I can't believe these are those same sukkeling seedlings, super impressive man! Enjoy your harvest!

So the F3 testers were harvested. Have not done a count yet but it looks to close to a 100 or so beans. These will be grown to see if the LGO has become stable at all. Had a good puff on the left overs and I'm satisfied with the terpene profile and kick.. If anny body in Cape Town is keen on trying these I'll be more than happy to share. 40 beans up for grabs.. Have a awesome weekend growmies..

It might be worth looking at diluting with RO water or getting some kind of home RO filter.

You oaks are funny. So here's the pics Import fees ^ Ordered 4 Aug and price ^ Item ^ Delivery date ^ Sorry, don't have better pictures of the setup. This is what he sent me. Wiring was extremely easy.
