Not much to update here on week 10, been a slow 2 weeks, but cant blame the plants, its been hot and yucky lately. The Ginger tea is finishing up nicely, might get the chop sooner and SSC slower behind, but is a huge plant and is still maintaining good health, so I don't have a reason to cut her yet. Will probably let them go another week or 2

Hi all Found the forum as I am looking to start growing my self. I have been using extracts and edibles for a while to help with stress, anger and anxiety. Not to big a fan of getting too baked and mostly like it for the medicinal properties. Hope to have a awesome time on the forum and learn as much as I can. Regards Dread

Its been ages you've been a busy guy....I still remember growing your MS x Jackberry 2015 or 2016 1 of my strains still has its genetics just modified abit more to a auto lol [emoji38] Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Walking/hiking in the Dlinza forest. The aerial boardwalk and lookout is something to experience. The trails have park benches every few 100m's for the unfit folk. We would just sit and enjoy the peace while having a puff. It was brilliant.

Got a fresh roll of toilet paper sitting in the fridge for this weekend Jalapeño poppers coming right up! Habaneros getting ready got a few cayenne still drying along with a few cherry bombs probably gona whip up a spicey butter chicken along with a couple Jalapeño poppers should make for a nice ring sting on Saturday morning...

Not the best place but the most memorable was one year on our way to KKNK. We drove the R62 route and stopped there by that tiny tunnel, next to the river and the mountains. Cant really remember what that place is called but theres some type of old fort up there so we decided to walk to the top to smoke a fatty.. Now this was still in our infant smoking years so a little went a long way. We got to the top, lit the joint and just enjoyed it. We realised, after the entire joint was done, that theres no way we would make it down again without us looking like a landslide down the mountain so we just sat there for hours talking shit and looking out at the beautiful scenery, laughing our heads off obviously.

looking at the photos from September2021 these grafts really took off in the last couple months! thought I would show their progression. grafting cacti is really the way to go for faster growth Here is one of the bigger lophophora x pachanoi, she pushed her very first flower recently and she does not stop making new pups! Here's one of my mothers, got loads of seeds off her over the years, she got a couple fruits full of seeds sitting on top (the messy dried up parts in the middle)

Here are a couple pictures over the last few days filming Bushy Williams new music video, Medical Marijuana. Its going to be published within the next couple weeks and hope you will enjoy. This was all shot in and around Bathurst, EC. Below a picture of Bushy to the left and the lead singer, Franswa from The Survivals Band. Pointing towards port Alfred, looking over the Waters Meeting that flowers down the Kowie RIver. Bushy in my garden playing keyboard. A top club, butchery, salon and carwash. Emzini Lifestyle Centre

I had a look now on B&B and it turns out the "PF classic" is actually a strain, that was named after the pf tek, that was made famous by the same man who named it. I learn something new every day I know when I look up Psilocybe species nothing of the sorts comes up, no mention of PF classic as a species of psilocybe. If you wana know everything there is to know about any psilocybin containing mushrooms, even the few of those outside of the psilocybe genus group, check out Allan Rockefeller. Dude is currently the lead mycologist in the world with a focus on psychoactice mushrooms, pushing out the most information ever on mushroom mycroscopy than anyone has ever before. and it's just him doing it alone and he is doing it from a lab he put together himself. didn't study a thing. check this video... notice what he said at 19:30 "if any of this shit is flying over your heads don't worry about it, you hear these words enough you go read up about them. you can use the internet to look at pictures of butts and food or you can use it to teach yourself something" and at 26:20 "no, I didn't go to school, I just started doing it" shits inspirational hahahah @Weskush brother, I am sorry if I missed it, but do you still have anything in the syringe? did you empty the syringe ino the tub, or you saved a few drops?

So the thread @Chris Jay started recently got me thinking... I thought it might be cool for members to share some of their memorable experiences they have had on weed. I have more of these than cool places I have smoked at. Don't have time to type my story out now, however will post it once I get a chance - others are welcome to post theirs in the meantime.

Most of my most memorable moment have come when smoking with friends. Just laughing and them asking me what drugs did you spike the weed with.

It's difficult for me to notice that unfortunately. The medium looked a bit different to what I recall. Seems you're sorted though. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Nice run. I do also have a running problem. I love trail running and climbing mountains for fun. I do not run goofed though. I like to smoke afterwards. It’s my recovery substance.

Thats the old English Fort just outside Montagu. That is an awesome place to smoke and sounds like a damn fine joint you had. Thanks for sharing.

That was one of my favorite crosses of that time. Sadly I lost that line so anyone with any of those still, have a real scarce cross.

Just smoked a damn good joint from a local homegrower, received while making a new reggae video. So some things have happened recently, epic things, and there is a big possibly I might be going to the USA in August for the NY State Fair, being the promoter of a local reggae band. Dont want to say too much yet but working like a dog. Was looking into the all the details, where, when and got side tracked, after seeing a video of a club, The Roof Gardens, I worked for in london around 1997, I saw this. Did not not realise how blessed I was to be able to smoke in these gardens day and night. Learnt to smoke hash around the same time to. The gardens were unreal, exactly like this in the video, mostly always. It did snow a couple times while I was there, had a jol. So where is your favourite place you have smoked?

The deficiency on all the Gorilla Zkittlez seems to have resolved. The whole tent is looking pretty good at the moment. We are in week 3 of flowering. Gorilla Zkittlez Zkittlez x Purple Punch ..and now, some bud pics for @John Stonedwell these are from the previous ZxP harvest, cured now two weeks.

Must say we were quite critical on the strains that were prepared for our meander, for the exact reason you mentioned. Rather avoid the heavy indica's in this situation, sativa was our choice toke. Mr Dank's Vanilla Kush made for a very memorable experience.

Ja checked that episode. The oke was blitzed as faaark haha! Excellent Youtube channel. Same here. Back in the days when toking garlic chillums with the seasoned okes on, as they used to call it, "higher grade". Same vibes. Electric vision and diiiik laggies that lasted for hours. Good times!

Yo @Naughty.Psychonaut i emptied the whole syringe. Unfortunately. Shot for the feedback and video. Will check it out. Leka man

Nice work sistaI would like to give some of your strains a go next outdoor season

Shot for all the info. Yes i am aware that PF Tek is the method and the spore syringe strain was PF Classic. Was recommended to use this strain in conjunction with PF Tek method. Hopefully B&B will sort me out otherwise i will try Myshrooms, which are the supplier. Let's see. Will keep updated

They lable them as spore syringes, but they're actually liquid culture syringes. That's because the already germinated spores and culture form of the mushroom awell as the mushroom itself is all illegal, so they have to say they're spores. I had to dig up an old email from 2020, discussing this with Dave from MyShrooms, he confirms it. here is my email to him here's the reply but no stress, it's actually better that way. if you still have a few drops of culture I could possibly still save you

Damn dude, hiking on weed. You smoking the wrong strain, although I can say I was lights out under a tree around lunchtime once. We used to wake up, put the fire on, wake and bake and then pull out the coffee, a shot of canna tequila in the coffee and bob is your auntie, walk kilo's and also thinking about it more memorable experiences. So this specific trip I am talking about was up near that magalies place, name I forget, we had had our shot of tequila walking and bump into a dread lock rasta and his wife. We chat, laugh and end up near a stream smoking a spliff, in a small cave. Beautiful setting. So swop numbers, meet at his place just outside JHB for a fire and play music a few weeks later. Around that fire I meet Bushy Williams for the first time, so must be over 17 years ago. Further to that, Bushy is currently staying with me, the day he arrived, last week Monday morning I get a video chat call from the same dread lock rasta, his name is Lion Silver Dread aka Mazola, who introduced us. We had not spoken in over 10 years on the phone or even done a video call and neither had Bushy. Life works in strange ways.

you must get directly from myshrooms. I've gotten a few clean syringes from them. https://www.myshrooms.co.za/product-category/psilocybin-mushrooms/ there are all their different strains available.

did you get it from b&b? damn... no instructions is poor, this takes some know-how. you inject only the injection port, yes. but the fact that it only has one injection port is also very poorly done.

@PsyCLown See we getting the creative juices flowing. Good idea, I will fire away with what comes to mind straight away, going to start off with memorable celebs. 1. Late one night on a cannabis farm August 2021, given a bag of 50 samples of bud, asked to arrange a smoke up and judging session with Gareth Prince, Simon Strain Hunters and Jeremy Acton. 2. Sitting with Jules Stobbs 2019 a couple days after D Day, in his space cadet cannabis chair in a beautiful surrounding with beautiful people, hitting a dab. 3. Sitting in a drug rehab centre near OR Tambo around 2008, smoking a swazi 99 joint with the founder of the Global Cannabis March, Dana Beal ( The original Yippie ) , talking about cannabis, ibogaine, activism and the steak we would be having for dinner that night. 4. Hosting Marc Emery and Jules Stobbs in March 2019, smoking a joint with them, he was too nervous to try my space cookies! 5. 2008, promoted the Howard Marks tour in SA, got the opportunity to give him a present, spend sometime with him and smoke a joint in my flat while living in JHB. 6. Sitting at a table outside Cool Runnings Fourways, with a bunch of guys, while organising a cannabis activism event and talking cannabis. The one dude rolls a tulip, we light it up and then find out who the guys are, cause it was my first tuplip and burnt perfectly. I was sitting at the table with the Prime Circle band!!!! Most memorable strains and places. 1. Smoking Jack Herer in Amsterdam 1998. 2. Vaping Congolese Wax in PE 2017. 3. Smoking cannabis cup winner, Super Lemon Haze in Amsterdam 2008. 4. Smoking Cali O in JHB Chilli peppers launched the song with the same name around 2003. 5. Using Simon Strainhunters pure pondo sativa oil during the day and getting my shit done. 2022.

Howzit bru. The green discolouration. The mycelium is suppose to be white correct? Substrate is vermiculite and brown rice flour according to description on B&B's site.

Where is the contamination and what is the medium? Looks like vermiculite only?

Hmm, mine are a bit boring. Best place is on my couch, with Netflix and loads of snacks... Otherwise braai with friends is good too. Smoking while on a hike, I tried it but just made me a little lazy but chilled at the same time. Nothing which really stood out though, not as cool as some other members here.

As I worked through the bud this is the final haul. Flower box in my dungeon done, trying the 48hrs of darkness and then ready for a Vostok F2 run Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only 3 sprouted, the SCHaze. No worries, should be getting some clones soon...

Greetings. I'm in the process of installing solar to my house. A previous thread explained my concern over how much power a small growroom tent would require. I have since doubled my existing output and now feel confident to run a small setup. Ive had to compromise but will have approximately 5Kw allowance for my grow. So here's the thing. I need a list of equipment for a 2.4x1.2 tent. All equipment needs to draw +/- 500W combined. (Ballpark). LEDs , fans etc and anything else you can think of. 1Mtr tent is just too small so I'll try a 2.4Mtr one. I was hoping for maybe 3 plants in 20ltr pots????. I need to keep things as simple as possible. I'm sure there are hundreds of different ways to grow!. My first indoor grow so I would like 'simplicity' if possible. Thanks in advance......

Jip same here. Did the Cederberg Night marathon in Oct and wish that i was stoned. What a brutal race. Theres a pro ultra runner that races goofed. Wanna get into that. They say that it diverts your mind from the pain.

That video is just to show a little of Alans workshop setup. Here is a nice video on the PF tek, youtube has quite a lot. only thing I do differently, I don't use my lids I just use tin foil. there are instructional videos on the myshrooms page aswell.

Welcome dread, what kind of grow style are you aiming for?? Looking to grow some of nature's finest under nature's finest? (the sun) Or looking to be a bit more secretive and set up something indoor?

Howzit Fire have you been selecting for the auto flower traits?

Welcome Dread enjoy your time here

You could easily do 4 plants in 20l pots in just 1m2. This will also keep you in your target wattage Just the lighting needed for 2.4x1.2 is already practically 1kw(4 x 240w) then at least 200-300w for all your ventilation needs.

PF tek means Psilocybe Fanaticus technique, it's not a strain, it refers to the technique a person uses to grow psilocyin containing mushrooms. usually talking bout the old school method of using brown rice flour and vermiculite as a substrate and making "cakes" also known as BRF cakes. this is what you where doing, but the strain of mushroom you grew must have been given to you at some point during the exchange, usually psilocybe cubensis.

you still have something in the syringe? like one drop?

Shot bru. It was PF Classic spore syringe and PF Tek kit. I used everything. From B&B's site by The Mushroomry if i stand correct. Will dispose and start over.

@Naughty.Psychonaut do i only inject in the self healing injection port on the side and leave the middle breather strip as is? Kit came with no instructions. Emailed b&b and hopefully they can advise. Otherwise i'll keep trying until i get it right.

After ensuring sterility and inoculating the substrate as per instructions, the tub was kept in a dark cupboard at room temp for a couple of days. I am facing contamination right?

The colours on the Beach Wedding....

Shot for the tips brother @Naughty.Psychonaut. Will keep it all in mind and keep you guys updated on the state of things. Laka times

Found this really cool report testing CBD against Covid-19 both in vitro trials as well as a small number of patient trials both of which has showed a reduction in infection and replication rates. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7987002/ found this paragraph very interesting: “Given that CBD preparations containing substantial amounts of CBD are taken by a large number of individuals, we examined whether CBD exposure might correlate to a decreased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Analysis of over 93,000 patients tested for SARS-CoV-2 at the University of Chicago Medical Center showed that 10.0% tested positive overall, but only 5.7% of the ~400 who had any cannabinoid in their medical record tested positive (Fig. 6). Patients taking CBD versus other cannabinoids had an even lower rate of testing positive (1.2% in 85 CBD patients versus 7.1% in 113 patients taking other cannabinoids, p=0.08). This finding that patients taking other cannabinoids had less protection against viral infection is consistent with our cell culture studies. Since multiple potential confounding factors could explain these findings, including age, race, clinical morbidities, and sex, we matched 82 patients who were prescribed oral, FDA-approved CBD (Epidiolex®) before COVID-19 testing to patients who had no indication of taking any cannabinoids but had comparable other characteristics including similar demographic characteristics, clinical comorbidities, and records of other medications in the two years before COVID-19 testing (table S1). Of the patients prescribed oral CBD before their COVID-19 test, the most common morbidity categories were hypertension and conditions with immunosuppression. Strikingly, only 1.2% of the patients prescribed CBD contracted SARS-CoV-2 whereas 12.2% of the matched, non-cannabinoid patients tested positive (p=0.009), suggesting a potential reduction in SARS-CoV-2 infection risk of approximately an order of magnitude.”
