shalom gardeners Suppose to be further along by now, but they dealing with the light confusion. let’s hope nothing bad happens, pm falling from the skies. Need to get something to run the fan during this time. They also got the second top dress, except gg#4 she got the first one, much happy since then, also did microbes, trace minerals, aminos and enzymes . lekke Sunday ahead!

Why you washing them ? Am I missing something here ? edit: aaaaahhhhhh I scrolled passed that part - yeah no 100% wash them

They looking nice and theeeeckk bru not sure man, have not used that product

Been away for a while, got too busy to grow but back at it now. I can confirm that connected Autopots can be placed at different heights as long as the res is higher than all the pots. My current grow had a rocky start with a lot of failed germinations, resulting in 3 plants being up to a month apart. So I was able to raise the younger plants closer to the lights while the older plant sat on the floor level. I managed the different nute regimens by fitting taps to each tray and selectively hand feeding as needed, until they were all on the same feed.

another week later, because of the crazy loadshedding times I did a KHCO2 treatment, hopefully will be last before harvest time. what's the feeling on KHCO2 within 3 weeks of harvest? should I bud wash or no? Frosted Apricot Super Cheese Chernobyl Blueberry Hashplant French Macaron - she wins star of the show with just her terps alone very very offensive smell. I have a pair of leather fellies, the smell I get from this plant is the same smell those fellies give off after a looong hard day of working and sweating in them on the farm in the blatant sun! wondering if the "french" part of the name was inspired by the smell of horrible body odor. blessed weekend for all

I'm half French, and find that offensive... Playing, but still half. The Macron is something I've had before, and it had a very nice smell and taste, something very close to the Blue Berry and or Bubbas Gift

think I may just wash them anyway, just incase.

Short notice but my wife is heading into town tomorrow (Sunday). Milnerton market area. I can send some autoflower seeds if you need. Or we can arrange something over the next week or two. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

I'm finding out the hard way about growing autoflower during winter. I was expecting a tough ride but WOW man the last time I experienced a rough ride was a crash landing in a C130 back in the parabat days. My outdoor during the day and under lights during the night are also battling. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

what's good brother, hope you are well aaah faq man, sad sight to see. the auto thing still has me scratching my head, but OK... it's almost as if my suspicion was warrented, but hey what do I know about growing weed? what you are doing there is trying your luck. and there is nothing wrong with that, we all start there. here's some food for thought, if you pop 100 seeds in 100% perfect conditions you still gona have a few that don't pop... how do you know that one single seed you popped was meant to carry you through? maybe it was just the weak one. PLUS conditions aren't favourable. PLUS it's an auto seed.... so many things against you, I would scratch this up as a school fee and start planning new. if you growing bunch of different phenos (each seed within one specific strain is a different pheno from the seed next to it in the very same strain) and one dies or doesn't pop you really can't say it's directly linked to anything specific. maybe it was just a weak pheno. to test conditions you really need to have at least more than one of the exact same thing, and cross reference for end result as "control". multiple clones of one pheno, one grown in good conditions so when you harvest you can see if your run was successful or not. sometimes the best of strains can be grown in unfavourable conditions making that strains taste and smoke like ditch weed, I call that a failure. at our rookie learning level we should just be focused on growing a plant, which anyone can do. for the most part weed grows everywhere. you don't need to be a wizard or a "grower" just to grow a plant. here's two options that'll make you good as gold. you don't have to take or even like my advice at all, but I am still gona give it for good measure. 1. Get feminised photoperiod seeds. Get multiple seeds of 1 strain. not singles. pop them all at once. as they are photoperiods you don't need to pop them in the final pot, so it's easier to keep temps above 25°C till they standing. keep them inside for the heat, they obviously don't need to be outside to pop, infact the cold can and will stunt them while they're babies. once they're up you take them outside, but keep them protected with something keeping them upright and shielded from winds and animals and shit. OR. 2. Talk to some of us about clones, we got tons of reputed strains going around here, most of them grown out for you to cross reference the end result, you literally don't have to spend any money PLUS you don't have to pop any seeds... now does that not sound magical? I think I have offered before, if not I am now.

So he didn't make it. But a friend gave me another NL seed, hopefully this one will fair better. Please join me in honouring his memory:

This is very true, but I had to start somewhere. I have 4 pots and would rather have 4 varieties than the same ones, regardless of which ones make it. Granted this poses some risks, but I cannot really afford to buy that many seeds either as I have no other equipment. This is literally the first foray into this kind of thing, so I thought it best to try 4 variants, learn something, and go from there. Perhaps in the future I will do a large batch of seedlings and only use the best/strongest ones. No, I bought from their 'pick a mix' single seeds selection. But, in order to buy singles like this you need to buy a minimum of 4. Guess I should've clarified that.

You don't get much information from just one seed of a strain. Except the strain is mega stable and has no pheno swings inside you get a very limited view of the strain. And to Nirvana, if you buy a pack of.. isn't it usually 5?.. you get one free seed (they usually offer feminized freebees, you say in the offer to please send you a auto freebee and they will change) and any seed not sprouting, you contact Jenna and she will replace it. Service at Nirvana SA is second to none.

Hello All, Hmmmmm .. off to a rocky-ish start. The Northern Lights, which germinated first, seems to be fading and I don't think he's going to make it. He was first out of germination and first out of the soil but has yet to lift his head up. The inside of his baby greenhouse and top soil is very, very dry, so I gave him literally one extremely tiny spray of water in case it might be that. As far as I'm aware there's literally nothing else I can do, so let's see what happens. The Blue Mystic which was planted a day after the NL is doing the best and is looking fine and happy. The Blue Cheese, which was planted first with the NL, is also happy-ish, but showing a little bit of yellow colourating on that very first round-ish leaf. Guess it must be a case of the soil being too nutrient rich for him? Not much I can do about it now, we'll just have to ride it out and hope he comes right. The Blueberry Kush, which is a very late starter and was last out of germination, is out above the ground but has yet to shed his little pod helmet. It was also the biggest seed of the lot, for what it's worth. Here's hoping at least 3/4 make it though these first rounds, because frankly, at this point I don't think the Northern Lights is going to survive. Pity, I thought he was going to be one of the best for this climate. On a side, note, does anyone in Cape Town sell single seeds? Nirvana only sells in packs of 4, and I don't really want to buy that many. In case 1 or two don't make it I'd like to plant again as soon as humanly possible as this is not only an experiment in the weather/outdoor situation but also with how the different strains perform against one another. And, how well I can get them to grow using the exact same methodology. I would like to take the 1-2 best performers out of this lot and put them in subsequent lots going forward. Potentially anyway. @DamDaveI seem to remember you mentioning some kind of 'lucky packet'? D
