Aweh fellow florists, The ladies are putting on their show. Buds are swelling and stinking with goodness, despite the heavy rain and high rh. Lost a few girls to the "taxman" mentioned in earlier posts, got a new problem with small spiral snails "ring debarking" some plants-tested some vinegar/soap mix to no effect, now dusting with cinnamon. Don't like spraying stuff in flower, hopefully they'll pull through. Chopped some Bluecheese f1's this morning. Pics of Charlottes, Gorilla Glue, Bluecheese. Our climate on the north coast is unforgiving to say the least. Its like the weather wants to kill your plants.....4 days of thunderstorms and rain, high rh and the next day temps touching 50deg. A good test for any genetic abd the reason why you plant double and take extra clones, just in case. Cheers.

Howzit 420 growers, Dillipit at your service. i'm here because i'm done paying for good bud I want to start my own grow and reap the rewards nature intended for us. Belated 420 !

Aweh gromies, Happy 420 weekend. Herewith some organic outdoor buds.

Johan's Nutcracker day 49.

Didn't actually plan for them to get this big. Mother nature doing her thing...

I'd like to see a update on this Grow please Sent from my SM-G988B using Tapatalk

Hi all. I've been a stranger the last season but I'm back putting local genetics tk the test on the West Coast. Starting off strong with @Totemic and co. (Have a inclination @SkunkPharmwas involved) or other way around. Bobby's Widow x Sweet Cheese F1. Then dropped some @Bay Seeds Mythic Candy Autoflower feminized today.

Hi, Nice to meet you! I am the new from South Africa, as a hobby for home cannabis cultivation

Congratulations!!! @Bay Seeds I see your Maverick, Top Cheese & 5th Gen Fighter are on sale MarijuanaSA's website. South African Marijuana Seeds - Marijuana SA

@Bay SeedsMythic Candy Autoflower feminized ready for the jiffies

You see the spacing is tight with the auto which is grown outdoor with the sun. Where your indoor plants have large internodal spacing. This gives me reason to believe its a light issue. You mentioned you using a 8 year old blurple light. I would recommend getting a new light such as a LED quantum board. I have a 120w quantum board from Green Houston, next to my old 100w Mars Hydro 48 reflector in one tent. (70cm x 70cm) and they work great together. When looking for a quantum board always look for ones with Samsung diodes. Ill provide the link to the one I purchased. There are different sizes and versions. But any quantum board that uses Samsung diodes such as LM301H diodes will be excellent. https://www.greenhouston.co.za/products/quantum-board-led-125w Depending on the size of your tent you might have to go larger or buy multiple. However if you just get one Quantum board, you can combine it with your old light.

Awesome training/presentation, Upside down Candelabra... A night foto with flash will reveal the jewels.

Aweh. Ladies are progressing well, flowers are looking sticky and dank.Tending this garden is its own reward, an olfactory assault/experience that is just next level, These strange flowers that intrigue us so... 1-2. Gorilla Glue bred off of a gift from @Mambawana. 3-6. Blue Cheese f1-Sativa...ish 7-10. Blue Cheese f1-indica...ish 11-12. Swazi 13-14. Blue Cheese f1 15-16. Charlottes Angel fem. One of 2 pheno's. @highchome, @PsyCLown Thanks for the meds.

Got branches hanging and ceiling fan on full tilt, temps around 22 degrees and RH hovering around 65%, not ideal, but humidity should start to drop in a couple of days (it's also been raining the last two nights in a row which doesn't help). Buds are rock hard and are stinking up the house, but I really need to invest in a dehumidifier as there is going to be a lot more bud to dry in the next few weeks!

Going to switch to Final Part now and give it another two weeks or so.

You could thin the mix out with coco and perlite to reduce the high N initially, but chances are good that you'll conversly have to supplement P, K and possibly micros during flower depending on your soil formulation. It's up to you.

Well, fun few weeks we had, me and the girls, but luckily after a few males 2 litle girls, a Runt and a Sativa dominant pheno emerged that, at this stage, is giving me the idea that quite a few more beans need to be popped. I do not have manny left but as soon as the mother room is up and running, they all going in for a propper pheno hunt and pollination session for some fresh beans. Added in some new testers for the collection of mothers I am planning to run. White Rhino, Franco's Lemon Cheese and Orange Velvet Underground. Receiving some White Wedding, Grape Diamonds and Humbolt's Freakshow cuts next week. The preparations for next season is starting in Ernst. Cuttings will veg till late winter and then be placed outside to flower for selection. LGO The only normal Girl in this round. This little one grew lile a cutting with offset internodes. This little guy topped himself at node one. Have allot of work with this strain. Will have to make some fresh beans, she's all over the show.

Depending on the age and stage of the plants in the 2lt bags. If in veg, transplant, give them 2 weeks, then go outdoor. Light hours on the north coast around 13hrs now. If you veg 16/8 or 14/10 technically they should flip to flower as soon as they go outside. I'd go minimum 20lt, the plants will use some of the available N during veg in the new bags, but plants need N throughout, just in different amounts.

I am also a victim of Magnesium deficiency in freedom farm classic. I have been using it for many many years but this is now my 3rd run that I am suffering with magnesium deficiency in freedom farm classic. I am going to water plain water at about 6.7 for now and see what happens Took a huge loss on my previous run my plants in veg tents using the same batch of soil is doing the same as my flower room I have another flowering tent using orgasoilux and those plants are fine.

Ah, I thought as much. Thanks for the input! I've only done a few indoor runs using General Hydroponics tripart salt based nutes, but never salts outdoors in soil/coco/pearlite. I was using the Biogrow range for a few years and then swapped over to the Pro Organic range and have always used molasses when growing organically. I just found that using molasses always made the buds extra sweet and sticky compared to times I didn't use it, even did a side by side comparison with some indoor clones. Regardless, I always like to flush heavy, even with organics as I like to get that fade in But the proof will be in the pudding!

Getting thiccc, frosty and stinky! RH has been high, hovering around 80%, there has also been some rain and wind, so making sure the lower sections are nicely defoliated. Pineapple Chunk and Jillybean will be done first as I'm just starting to see some trichomes turn amber, usually around this time I would stop feeding and start "flushing" with rainwater and molasses, usually for two weeks, and then just plain rainwater for a few days before harvest. Since I'm using salt based ferts, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to introduce molasses, I know some nutrients will be available immediately, but I have no idea what the soil microbe life is like.

The Ugly...

Aweh, the outdoor flowering season is upon us. Plenty of challenges along the way, our area recorded 53 deg yesterday, but the strongest ladies are soldiering on. Herewith....The Good.

Late update. Few weeks into flower now. Had a thrip issue so ordered some predatory mites as I can't spray anymore due to flower. +

Touch wood, I haven't needed to use anything this whole grow! (except giving the whole grow area a generous dusting of diatomaceous earth before planting seeds) Plants are healthy and full of predatory bugs; praying mantises, lynx spiders, jumping spiders, wolf spiders, and the occasional ladybird. I did apply quite a thick layer of mulch and keep any weeds out. I even saw a Western Cape leopard toad under one of the plants.

AK-01 from Anaconda Seeds (two phenos) Slurricane 7 from In House Genetics: Raspberry Cough (Nirvana Seeds) Jillybean (free gift)

Pineapple Chunk from Barney's Farm: Purple Haze from Green Smoke Room: Bubba Cheesecake from Seedsman: Chocolope from Barney’s Farm: (2 plants)

Leave septoria or cercospora Treat with a fungicide such as Biosulpur or Kumulus or if late in flower you can use san-o-agri

I'm registered with dagga pharmacy

I forgot to ask how do you know what's a stud male and a stud female is it the one that pops and grow the fastest or because some start slow and next thing they past the early ones. That's something I'm struggling with selection that's my problem and it's the most important part I think.

Wanna start an indoor/outdoor nursery. I have plenty of space indoors and out. I don’t know what kind of plants to put where or what would be good to grow first. I am completely clueless.

You don't need to worry about the.plants you get from Dagga Farmacy. They are generally healthy. You don't get a rooted clone you actually get a small plant. If you buy seeds just buy from Trophy seeds, african smoke shop or biltong and buds. Seeds are tricky though especially if you are new to growing. They don't always germinate and then you start blaming people. Other places in north that sell quality clones is either Golden-goose or African smoke head shop. They have actually hunted through a breeders pack of seeds and sell their keeper cut.

Did you know that despite legalization, black-market weed still thrives? There are three main reasons for this: Cheaper prices, Overregulation & Discretion Street dealers are often cheaper which gives budget-conscious customers easier access, overregulation by governments drives out legal startups & street dealers are often more discreet which appeals to closeted cannabis smokers Full article on this issue here: https://waltrothschild.wordpress.com/2024/08/28/top-3-reasons-why-black-market-weed-still-exists/

You know I think they should really start a stoners date club because it's really hard to find a girl among the general population that appreciates a good joint or a top grow plant. Any one looking for a marked gap at a social network there is one date a stoners for stoners by stoners Ould work?

It could also create jobs and generate tax revenue that can be used for public services. It’s a win-win for everyone involved but I don't think they would do that in the near future

You guys should try temu they are the worst that's if you ever get what you ordered it's nothing like the pics I am just glad they don't sell cannabis seeds you will buy a GSC and get a Apple tree.

Not sure about Potassium Phosphate but Calcium Carbonate is very hard to get into solution. Without using acid or letting it dissolve in soda water for a few days it's next to impossible to dissolve in pure water. If potassium phosphate is easier to get into solution I would say use that.

This outdoor season l let slip due to other projects. That went belly up by the way. Fok Voort l say. Google autoflower and it states Siberia and similar climates as to where the plant grows under harsh climates. When you think Siberia l think cold. We all know light cycle for autos don't play a big part. My question is what about temperature. Good old Google says 18 celcius is good for overnight temps but that does not sound like Siberia to me. Busy building another project (reservation greenhouse) but temps average round 4 - 10 degrees overnight out here. I know it might be a lost cause but surely there is a strain out there for extreme temps. Sent from my SM-A032F using Tapatalk

How do you guys feel about eckosil?

Welcome

Decided to harvest the Jillybean and Pineapple chunk at the crack of dawn this morning, weather has been super windy the last few days and it looks like some light rain this eve so wanted to get those two plants chopped ASAP. Noticed a couple of small spots of powdery mildew on some of the lower leaves of the Jillybean which I removed before chopping, but luckily, it looks like nothing on the buds or any of the other plants. Also had a tiny amount of bud rot on the pineapple chunk from water dripping off the shade cloth onto a couple of buds, but noting too serious, just picked it off with some tweezers before chopping the plant. Day before harvest: Jillybean (started going dark purple after cooler night time temps and lots of flushing) Pineapple Chunk: (probably the next strain I'll do indoors)

I’m looking for some advice on something I’ve never done before. I’ve started some feminized Indicas indoors and plan on moving them outdoors to flower as electricity cost is too high for me to complete the grow indoors.So right now the plants are in 2 liter fabric bags with Orgasoilux super soil and will be transplanted to either 15 or 20 liter fabric bags and given supplemental lighting to extend the veg period by a week or so. My question is this.Since I will be transplanting into a much bigger volume of fresh soil and flowering quite soon afterwards,won’t the soil have too much Nitrogen for flowering?The reason I ask this is because much of the available N will not have been ‘used up’ by the time flowering is initiated.I should add that this soil has been sitting unused in the bags since my last outdoor grow 15 months ago so nutrients have probably broken down nicely by now. Maybe I’m overthinking this I don’t know!

Is usually the low range giving you issues in soil. Below pH 5.8 the roots will have issues absorbing Mg, same if you are in the 7.x and + range. I would guess there is your issue.. as you go chemical anyhow, can't go biological when you use chlorinated water, the chlorine kills your microbes. You might want to try coco or hydro with chemical.. is easier to debug. Right now, your pH does weird stuff because your micro organisms are dead. Can also try to add Environoc 401 to get those microbes back.. You might want to get a water filter for your tap water thou ^^ as you kill the Environoc 401 microbes with the chlorinated water too If you fear the soil is bad.. add a table spoon Epsom to the mix, you know there is no lack of Mg after. You never can exclude a bad batch of soil.. but I would more point to the soil and tap water use.. that bites a bit. Filter or rain water for soil. If you can't get that, Coco or hydro and fully chemical feeding... hydro in any case chemical or it will smell a bit ^^ And aim for a pH range of 6-7 in soil...

Looking good!

Big haircut. Back left still stretching like crazy, hope it slows down. Back right bag seed that I threw in isn't showing many pistils yet like the others, hope its not a male.. Humidity is now back down to a decent level after the big defol. Wanted to wait till week 3 of flower to do it, but the humidity was too much. photo quality is kak due to whatsapp compression, which is how I send it to myself to post here

You don’t need to add anything. You can get a really good grow whit that soil. Freedom Farms Antifragile and Orgasoilux is my go to brands. Just add water.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
