If you have clones of the female, why the rush? Done exactly the same thing due to male/female timelines. Collected the pollen and used it on the female clone. You'd be surprized how many seeds you can collect from a smallish clone. Manipulations aside....IMO I'd prefer to keep the male as healthy/stress free as possible to maximize viable pollen production.

ill be spending the next few weeks studying and building a modular nft hydroponic system going from a 12 plant to 24 plant and eventually 36 plants total in a 2.4x4 room. id like to use this thread to document research into my specific system and eventually seed, and or, clones through harvest.

Do you guys want to keep it local? Cape Town?

i bit of a background as to my grow style, i've been doing seeds into soil under the sun for years, using basic fertilizer. incorporating methods such as koi pond water feeding and worm bin teas. this has always been sativa, and i've put my head towers growing both sativa and indica side by side in a hydroponic system as a means to entertain myself and better my understanding of it least one hydroponic system. enter nutrient film tecnique. im have completed the drawing phase of the tubes and reservoir including sizing of air pumps and water circulation pumps. these will be added in phases and eventually consist of three separate reservoirs to tube 1:1 ratio. the purpose of having three is redundancy only. my list as of now on what needs to be done: -demo ceiling of flatlet. -seal and insulate roof with poly panel boards -fire retardant treatment of wooden trusses -run electrics and timers and generator relay. -150mm ducting 150mm duct fan and rubber clamps -fit and install digital ballasts 6x 600w with superboost 690w which ill be running at in flower. 3 on generator + grid, 3 grid only. -install reflector hood at 7ft and bulbs. mh for seedling and vegetation, hps and or, cmh(depending price at the time) through flower. -mount 2x 12l dehumidifier at 6ft height. one one generator the other not -fit and install 2x 14000btu ac. one one generator the other not

can i also add in a post to thank you for reading into my future project and i hope to hear some of your input as this system and grow progresses

Still enjoying a secret jar of some Fruitpunch from last outdoor season. Sweet and strong.

If you'd like to get into something coming soon, check out the @THCSA Cape Town Cannabis Cup. Thread here. Application form and ticket links should be there as well. With regards to our own 420SA Cup, I'm always down. Obviously the crowd was more present in the past as that was shortly after the 2018 Constitutional Court judgement which convinced most guys to start growing at the time, including me. Vendors have also been short in supply. I can only imagine this is due to the high over-saturation of hydroponic goods in the market currently as well as the over-supply of second-hand equipment and electronics from guys thinking they could cut it one time perfectly in the first grow. Howzit loadshedding. So spare cash to advertise on a forum instead of just on places like FB or Instagram is a factor for them. Lastly, it wasn't all too long ago that 420SA had an Instagram account but Lord Zuck decided to wipe it off the planet for some reason and another account wasn't made. This probably also lead to less organic traffic heading our way. It's a hard sell to get new guys into growing with this loadshedding kak. It's already hard to learn how to grow by yourself.

I am sure people are still lurking a round.Eskom has just fucked up every bodies grows and it is really not worth growing any more for a lot of us. I am waiting to move into a new place so my grow has been discontinued since November. And totemic is making a new batch of seeds so buy April or so we might have a seed sponsor again @Totemic

Howzit @420SA and fellow growers How about a little competition or even our own mini Cannabis Cup to bring some vibes back to this community? I notice that a lot of the OG members are MIA lately. Whatkind ekse

All remaining plants have ended up getting Powdery Mildew and I've had to throw away the entire grow away. Pretty disappointing, this Eskom load shedding has completely fucked this grow up.

Sad day today...... Seems the heat was too much for the big Vanilla Kush lady. 2.5m tall and she grew BALLS....chop,chop.

A competition would be great. I wont be able to supply seeds though. Im realistically more than a year or 2 away from being able to release anything
