  1. Update DS finally pushing pistils only beginning of week 5! Note to self: try to not grow the stretchiest of strains right next to the most compact of strains without taking necessary measurments now I got the most uneven canopy ever and it looks bad, the Blueberry Hashplant is gona finish sooner than the Deluxe Sugarcane, but it's right at the back and the DS in front is creating a wall blocking the BHP in, harvest time gona be a bit of a struggle. they're under a net too fuk

  2. Goodmorning, hope all is well and in good health! These ladies been living on nothing but 500ml clean water every second day, there should be more than enough food in the soil to not have to add nutrients, I am trying to keep them from growing too much as my flower tent still has its ways to go! still have a few spots on the leaves here and there, only thing I did that was out of the ordinary, I added some garden phosphate to the soil before transplanting so that's my main suspect at the moment.

  7. After 4 days of toil, I have finally moved my setup into the new room. Everything is fresh and clean again, for as long as that will last. There's a bit more space between the tents so I can definitely clean more regularly. I had thought I might be cheeky and squeeze in another 2.4x1.2 tent but I'll probably only get another 1.2x1.2. I am thinking of doing an organic tent with fabric pots and FF soil. Stay tuned. Before I transferred the KmintZ, I gave them a spray of fungicide in case any PM decided to hitch a ride into the new spot. I decided to change the layout of the fans in the flower tent a bit. Instead of having the two fans both on the ceiling blowing down, I now have one in a corner on the ground, and one on the opposite corner but above the canopy line. I do believe there was plenty of stagnant air below the canopy and I feel it had contributed to the development of the powdery mildew in the last harvest. In order to allow the bottom fan the space and ability to blow without unnecessary resistance, I have removed one pot from the tent from one of the corners. I have taken the mature ZxP plants from the veg tent, potted them up and got them into the flower tent. They were looking really keen for the flip, and they had grown a little past where I usually would have wanted them, but the move had taken a little longer than expected. Due to having one less pot in the flower tent, I only potted up 5 ZxP and have reserved the remaining 6 pots for the upcoming Wedding Cake plants. The KmintZ clones in the veg tent are developing roots, also took roughly 3 weeks. Winning! This is also the first time I'm taking clones within the first week of flower instead of keeping mothers and I can see the difference between clones taken in veg. The KmintZ clones are pushing pistols quite heavily, so I predict a period of reveg. Not to worry, I think the timing might work out quite well as the KmintZ in the flower tent have still quite a bit to go. I will pot the clones after they have the vent open for a day or two to climatise.

  8. Hi All, Hoping to medicate my Ulcerative Colitis (chronic for 17 years) by using THC/CBD. My end goal is to hopefully do away with the chronic medication especially due to all the long term side effects. Purchased the AfricanPure CBD oil but I feel it's not really helping or effective. It also seems to be very oily. Due to this awesome forum I found the Elixir Extract website and just purchased oils from them. Wish I'd found them sooner to be honest (before purchasing the AfricanPure and wasting money). I am also hoping to start my own grows soon as well. So yeah, this is the start of my journey and I am grateful for this forum and really excited to be part of this wonderful community!

  9. Hey bro. Hope all is good in the hood there. How is the project coming along? Would love an update. I tried my hand at some golden oyster mushrooms and it came out kick ass. Went super nicely with a pasta.

  10. Nah, no negatives for the plants. If you want clean and sparkly, stay away from organic stuff. The amino mix I use has molasses in it and not even sure what else, but that is the source of the slimy stuff. Silica you need to be careful with. Too much can cause lockout issues and adding it in the incorrect order can cause nutes to precipitate out of solution which makes it unavailable to the plants. I have now stopped using silica again.

  11. Wait a bit to confirm. I recently (within the last week) had a plant which I was quite sure was a male and it looked like a male and then I noticed a pistil. I was pleasantly surprised, always give it a bit more time to make 100% sure. Seeds are not cheap.

  12. The Amino mix I use, if added to a res with air stones turns to a weird sludge / gel, similar to a kombucha scoby, in particular around the air stone. Not sure whether it is a good or bad thing, however it will clog pipes on automatic watering systems and also stops your airstones from working properly. You need to peel that stuff off the airstones and then try clean it up still.

  14. Can't see anything indicating female, must agree with@Totemic, looks more like males. Wait a week or so for them to show proper, then you'll know for sure.

  17. I like it, very fast growing plant, I can think of a few ways to grow it better. The plant needs more magnesium than other plants. I have been feeding since week 10, did small amounts of molasses, microbes, aminos, Epsom's and fulvic.

  18. Ola growers, all the babies are up in the propagation station and I do not think they will be stretching too much for the light which is amazing as it buys me sometime. I'm quite impressed with these LED tubes. They are fitting the purpose very well.

  19. Better update on week 8, almost at the finish line, just been getting water then the dqxslurri small yielded 50g and the tall yielded 76, will drop a smoke report in the coming weeks

  20. So the the dqxslurris are at the end, they getting chopped on Saturday morning. I'm super chuffed with the bulky pheno, she is strong! Abit of musky sour coming from her, the tall pheno has almost done the same thing in terms of aroma, very similar. The mother clone I took from her around 2 weeks in is doing well, she might go into the 100l pot outside. then the Roma tomato's have been removed as they had blossom and rot, under watering would be the cause I suspect, will try be on top of it more. So there is 2 Cherry tomato plants and 3 in background.

  21. A very happy New Year to all you Garden people of the Land Cannbizzzzzz. Today I will have to let you in on a happening during the grow, to put you in the tent. I went away, 5 days passed, it was I think around week 4, I didn't want the SSC to continue stretching so I had the light Closer to maximum for an extended period of time. As a result, the top buds are receding faster and really not as happy. Plants are doing good now as I reduced power. And gave some Microbes, Fulvic extract, miniscule amount of molasses, epsom salts as the soil would do well with the extra magnesium. 1 day before week 6 is where I am.

  22. 4 weeks about, the SSC and Ginger tea have settled the stretch I think. The extraction fan has moved outside the tent and temps are ranging between 26 - 31, they are still only getting water. They are very happy so i'm not stressed about the hot days just yet. Will be going away for the festive season so I will be gone for a week. When I leave I will be putting the lights down significantly, atm they are almost full blast. SSC Ginger tea DQxSlurri Short #thebeast! Dqxslurri tall Bubalicious (average) Then new Genetics! Sherb Crasher, Animal Cookies, Quattro Kush , Jelly Breath - All thanks to @SkunkPharm and GG#4 All the best for the festive season, Enjoy the time with your families

  23. Week 3 done. Strawberry sugar cookies is a stretcher of note, broke some of the lanky branches to manage the canopy better. Ginger tea is well behind, but she will be taken care off.

  25. Whooooohoooo, I found my pheno, I'm keeping this plant around for a while i'm sure, she is still going and going fast. Frost enough, smells like gluey, sour, on the back of what was is surely icky funky stank, the gas is very subtle, almost gone. Very unique, nothing like the slurri now which i'm not mad about. Calyx pushing beautifully, if I updated 10 days ago, she knows where she is going. I cant imagine more than 3/4 weeks, however white pistols for days so we will see. And then im in 5 days flower. and the Jack herer was a male, so no update there, other dqxslurri is slow so we will see.

  26. Update, dqxslurri got a small Defol, the short pheno is standing out nicely. Smelling fine, quite similar to slurri, some sweet some gas.Will be flipping the bed Tuesday night.

  27. I did post this before, But I wasn't happy with the PDF option, so I had capture the page. As I said a while ago, I've got my Soil Test to share, this test is on the soil that is amended along the lines of the soil recipe. Its a diverse mix but has also depleted itself of good/basic structure over the time, will be introducing some aeration of sorts. I would definitely recommend Kaya farms for the soil testing options, I waited about a month or so as there were hiccups, but I gotta commend them on their feedback and time taken to explain the issues, I have a couple things that need to be addressed, but overall quite happy with the results. This was after a re-amend. There is stats on the paste test and the extract test. Some issues I need to look at. - Soluble salts are quite high for after a harvest which he mentioned, but I did say this was after a re-amend, between 1000 - 1500 is fine. - Sodium and chloride need to be leached from the soil. - Phosphorus is not high enough on the paste test, although the extract test says abundance, can be taken with a pinch of salt and not add anymore Phos. - Calcium can be higher - Base cations magnesium and potassium too high, this might be because I add too much worm casting in my original mix - Exchangeable hydrogen very low (have not added aeration in a while or always in the least amount). - Also a small amount of extra nitrogen can be added as well. - Trace elements needing to be brought into balance. Iron, manganese and copper ... he suggested using sulfates to bring these levels up. I am still deciding. The argument is not about keeping it full organic, which it would be if these forms of trace elements are used and a test can provide proof of low levels. Because in actual fact, the main production proof of the most robust systems would be - in a field or greenhouse or living soil, the Co2 loss from the ground because overall its a more intricately connected system. Which the plants breathe in and that births higher productivity. So in essence, the more the plant can photosynthesize, via filling gaps in the chain, this being micro nutrients, the more exudates are pumped out stimulating more microbial growth. At the moment plants are in this soil, so I will not be adding any of these yet. I will be doing a test soon on the big bed and see where those levels are.

  28. I have the same Apple Jax cut which is growing beautifully. How would I know that its going to hermie apart from leaving it until it happens? I see what you saying, if you are certain the cut has been grown out and does not hermie, then likely its stable. The 2 Apples Jax plants I was growing was from seed bud.

  29. I have the same Apple Jax cut which is growing beautifully. How would I know that its going to hermie apart from leaving it until it happens? They were growing great bud, I wouldn’t know until they flower and all the way until they finish. but from a basic ratio of the known hermies, I’ve made the decision based on hermie ratio on the pancakes line. Both apple Jax 67% hermies and another reputable grower reporting 80% or so, I thought not waste the time and have gaps in the grow

  30. The Jack here and Bubalicious I yielded 2 decently frosty females about revegged, should be stable for the flip next week. Jack Herer is growing nicely some of the Tomato’s and cherry tomato’s. and always lekke when it’s about time to flip time.

  32. Hello humble gardeners, I must update the new findings on the some of these plants that received the snip over the past few days, some due to being male and one because she was devoured by the dog, well most got defoliated pretty severely by this mut. The Crazy Hazey was the unfortunate victim, but did clone her. Anyways, I put up a fence and will be done with that. onto the good news. The DQ x Slurri - ended up with 2 females So they went into 2 x 20l pot to hopefully flower/ or reveg, not counting on it but made clones so its a win. of the Jack herer and Bubalicious, I think i've got 1 of each to choose from that haven't shown signs yet, others I confirm males and one has gone composting for now. Indoors the plants have started their training, and they seem to be adjusting to their new surrounding which is good, they got some microbes and water and then plain water, will be installing the blumat once they start growing properly.

  33. Yeah same here, many people have said its an all time favourite so i'm definitely keen to hopefully find a good female, and she will be outside this summer along with the rest of the other females I get. Only 4 fems will stay in the tent. 2 Apple jax, Ginger tea and Sugar cookies.

  34. Happy spring day! They got the heater right up in their face. Very cold, but they have got new homes, they in 3L of a soil that's going to get tested. I will share the test paper and how I will be moving forward. I expect to see some wonky numbers apposed to what Albrecht would propose, but we leaning. Apple Jax standing out. Also got 2 x jack herer up and 2 x Bubalicious up

  39. Small update on some of the strains I was growing and some for a second time, this time was a bit better I think, but also could have easily sparked catastrophe due to a cal/ more so mag deficiency in my soil which caused me to lose the ghost train haze (caution was thrown to the wind). Never the less the other plants snapped back well.

  40. I also missed this. I have just found an obscure reference to this thread elsewhere on the site, which is what led me to it. I find it quite hard to see who is growing what on this interface. It would be nice if there was a list of journals on each person's public info. Good luck with the harvest. Those buds look great.

  43. Looks great man, and for your own soil too, good for you. I also grow in my own soil, and as 420SA said, you need the lime, and my very first mix was missing this part, and it made a huge difference. Again, good for you brother

  45. We don't see many guys having a crack at their own soil mix very often. Nice to see you giving it a go, keep going. First time round it looks to have done pretty well. Just a few suggestions from my end on your soil composition. I would suggest you ditch the vermiculite, it's not needed. You already have the perlite helping with aeration. Also I would suggest getting more calcium and magnesium in there with some dolomite lime. They use crushed oyster shell in the states but that isn't easy to find here. Your local nursery will have the lime, even builders warehouse. Did you let your soil cook for a while before using it?

  46. Hello hi, Here with the week 3 update. Stretch has been pretty darn good from the Frosted apricots, hopefully she boast nice terpy profiles too! The White widow didn't stretchy that much however, the internodal spacing is almost null and void, so many bud sites, and she might get taller, who knows. My plan was to reuse these pots (for years) and to total 6 x 40l come winter, then start from clone, but plans change and now I'm back at the drawing board seeing which options suit best the living soil model. Regardless, I've been reusing my soils anyway from my second grow. I've been so fortunate to meet helpful people here in Cpt from this forum that I would have never really made progress without them, plus too, our bunch of friendies really come together and look after each other. So spoilt with the vast genetics I'm terribly back-logged with already, I'm going to do my best to work through them nicely. Strains that I want to grow and re-grow 2021 ---------------------------------------------- Ghost Train Haze #1 - Rare Dankness Spumoni - Plug Seedbank Zurple Punch - In House genetics Slurricane - In House genetics Bunicorn - In House genetics Sugarcane - In House genetics Platinum Gorilla - In House genetics Orange Kush Cake - Ethos White wedding rbx - Ethos Strawberry fields - DNA genetics OG Kush - Bagseed All Gas OG - Humboldt SeedCo Tortoni - Totemic Jack Herer - Unknown Some of these strains are still yet to crack a taproot so I might only see them later in the year.
