PC12 at 53 days She is a late bloomer it seems. This pheno has both parents in the structure. The only pheno we came across that exhibits this. She has hit her stride now. She is getting denser and frostier by the day. Quite literally. These plants are all about 6ft tall just for reference, as the photos don't really show how big they are.

Another half ass update, it’s just so wet outside, all day long so I really am quite done with these plants lol but here goes Some of the plants are close to done, other are really taking long, so I may harvest what I can this weekend or next and update on the bud I get out, just to note the experiment plant of the gorilla glue, is in limbo land and I’m sure she will stay like that for a good forever, so I’m also just gona composting her, unfortunate but ya, the 2 sugar widows coming out nicely

you're dark purple chococate gelato's are safe with me and i will continue to keep her clones. She's really a priced cut. Sorry to see you go bud.

Things have got tight lately, even for myself. You have got the skills, and have faith it will work out for you, the industry is changing and will need folk like us, it's only time now. It's easy to have the money and idea to have the seed bank or be the breeder, but at the end of the day, can they do what you can, or can they grow like we do, know the plants like we do?

I wish it were the case. The reality is that over the last 3 years I've been scaling down my space bit by bit, and now don't have any indoor space... Not even to keep keeper clones. It isn't possible for me to keep the quality standard necessary for market seeds without that indoor space. Perhaps I'll find employment somewhere in the industry where I can apply my skills. Perhaps not...

It's starting to get hot in here

Thank you to the believer's. Inspiration to grow so many more of Mother Nature's other herbs. Cottage Industry packaging for now using recycled materials.

The big tent is geared and ready to go Eight ZxP at the beginning of their veg journey. I want the plants to get settled for a few days after transplant before I begin training. This run will potentially be how I might continue to grow concurrently and a method I will try to perfect as I also try to perfect my selected strains harvest after harvest. If anything in future, I see myself upgrading the LEDs at a time that this current set have run their course and the next generation finds itself on our shelves, whenever that may be. The plan will be to top all the plants and again run a manifold grow style similar to that of the Organic Tent™. I am hoping that the Autopots and airdomes will provide vigorous growth during veg and make the training less time consuming. I will use two layers of nets this time, the first layer to help spread the initial manifold growth and then another layer to keep the colas evenly spread at the canopy level. A single layer net in the Organic Tent™ was only just enough but the canopy size is not too deep, so the branches managed to hold up relatively well on their own. I would like to get slightly bigger plants going in the big tent so the additional net layer will be a must.

just wana mention if you grow a clone it is the replica of the plant it came from, so people typically go for clones over seeds to guarentee a good phenotype. with seeds there are greater chances of ending up with something you don't like, even if you grow a batch of seeds from a strain you like. in this case you buy a bunch of the seeds, enough to do something called a "pheno hunt". this is where you work your way through all the seeds and find the best one and go from there. if you buy a pack of regulars and plan to breed, buy a pack of 10 or more seeds and be sure to find the best male and best female before crossing all willy nilly and making more work for yourself than anything else. if you birth a batch of 300 to 500 seeds and it's all just from the first male and female you could find, you gona spend a lot of time being dissapointed growing out 300 seeds just to find out none of it was worth the time or effort. rather work on getting your hands on a female you like through finding the right clone, then get your hands on some regulars of something you also like and find the best male in the pack, then cross those two. you can spend quite some time "pheno hunting" the batch of seeds from this breed. they'll be regular seeds again as you knocked up a female with a male. if you wana make feminised seed you have to reverse a female. If you just looking to have some fun and make some seeds then you can go on any of the local seed banks and get anything that sounds and looks nice to you. I see a lot of support for Trophy seeds. Look at Inhouse Genetics or Ethos Genetics stuff, but honestly there's a bunch and every second breeder has something crazy good.

A little Basil harvest.

We should start a list of publications that routinely post articles "dagga lab busts" that never actually end with a conviction, and one day when the laws are written and cannabis is widely accepted, we can call on these publications for their shit behaviour.

You've heard the old saying "I am not putting up any fights by practicing my rights"? classic example here. I don't get this? this sounds as corrupt as it can get brother I hope you're not suggesting a cop can do whatever they feel like with me and base it on if they feel I was nice enough to them or not? the law is the law, period. a cop is not above the law and cannot write or change laws on a personal whim. we all got that sense of kill them with kindness, cause of doing this stuff since it was illegal, we've had many times interacted with police knowing full well we where breaking laws, in the past, and the only way you get to walk away a free man is to not put up a fight right away. so I get what you're saying here, but while both parties are well within their rights they both have equal ground to stand on. you're just a man talking to another man. not some kinda godly figure that gets to zap his mighty beam and change your fate regardless. that thought shouldn't be tolerated and we shouldn't be telling our fellow growers they need to bend over and take it up the ass more than we have the last how many years, at some point we need to stand our ground and show these assholes we know a thing or two and we beat them at their own game. cops are just people and they need to abide by the laws just as much as a civilian. even more than civilians police should be held to a much higher standard because they're the ones reinforcing the laws. they can't be acting all willy nilly like they own the place, which sadly is whats happening and here is why... the opposite side of the spectrum is just as important, because being a push over and being too nice and lettling the police walk all over you is also not gona help at all. we need to know our laws and practice our rights more often. If I am not responding to a police officer that doesn't mean I am being rude to him, it just means I am practicing my right to silence. again, I am not putting up any fights by practicing my rights I will clearly state that and the reason for it is because of the level of corruption, I know that some cops have such fucking egos they actually do think they're above the law, in which case I will just open my mouth to let them know I am practicing my right to stay silent. which shouldn't be necessary because the cops know the laws and this should be a clear signal that a cop is trying to push you over to make you out to look bad even if your not.... this shit needs to stop! reading the room is important here.... by the time you have to announce that're practicing your right to stay silent is the same moment you should be working on getting lawyers involved because only an asshole cop that don't know what they should be doing will press you for information they don't need. Hell yeah, you're right, many many people wana read all about this. that's why they don't publish it..... the article was in the Paarl Post, not the Cape Times or any bigger news paper, the information on how the arrests wasn't successfull was already supressed, unlike the massive grow busts that get published all over cape town in 100 different articles.... I wonder why oh hey, I just realised hahahah it's because whenever theres a Win for the cannabis industry the people behind the information have to push real hard to get it out there while the losses and negative information gets rubbed in everyones faces..... almost like they trying to paint "dagga" as this evil plant...... same like they been doing for over a 1000 years...... now why would that be? hmmmmm The case happened in the beginning of 2021 and the post was publishes in June, I think I missed the biscuit on sending Paarl Post any information that they'll be interested in on that one plus I am not involved with the whole thing and talking to people who where actually involved they did try to get the information out, but Paarl Post never took interest in that part of the story.

Update. Wow I dont recall the leafs growing this big in my previous grow, they're gigantic! everyday when I check in to feed them there is a clear difference. I had to raise the lights for a second time already.
