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.

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.

This stuff has proven effective for me and can be used during flower.

Hello just got back into the growing scene, wishing everyone growing some happy cannadust

Top max always showing off

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

Same seeds but fully organic this time. Nice and short...Each nicely filled their 50cm x 50cm space. 3 weeks into flower

Hi hi I'm New here, I grow my own weed alone, LOL!!! I smoke my weed alone, I make lovely kookies with icing on top, I like to make own gummy bear sweeties and I eat them up by myself LOL!!! NOT FOR SALE

Remember autos don't like a lot of nitrogen and plant them in a big container from the start don't give them any stress only LST them the first 12 to 14 days is the most important if you mess up the plant might not have time to recover as it grows with age and not light cycles. But good luck show us some pics of your grow brother. And biltong and budz is one of the preferred choice here I've seen.

Autoflower is the easiest to grow because they flower by them self with age not light cycles. And when you use a tent that's the expensive way you need lights and fans humidity control all those type of things if you get alot off sun on your balcony I would say since it's your first time try it outdoors and see how you managed with it are you up to all the time it's going to take from you and all that alot of guys spend thousands and n growing gear then they still end up buying smoke. So get yourself an autoflower sativa or indica they are just as potent as photoperiod plant just a bit smaller great for a balcony I think it would be the best choice for you get some kelp molasses and cal-mag and bone meal and you would be fine

Thanx man whas planning on getting from biltong and budz and there prices aren't to bad. Well a small plant would be better no stress about Seeds that don't pop. Bud there plants are all photos or can you buy autos from them aswell I mean the small plants because you can't clone a auto. That would be pretty cool actually maybe I should start growing autos and sell them before flower.

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/

So the first pot is only water and feed and that runs into the bottom one with the soil no no no I think Im lost here my guy but I really want to see this going into a proper grow.

I'll second you on that. I've had the opportunity to grow some fire thanks to @Bay Seeds.

That's a bit far of mate how did they manage that it's not even the same department . I would be pissed

It's a good soil. Can't go wrong with it. Been around for quite some time now. Have a chat to them about feeding regimes etc.

North America is a good market to watch, we usually follow, I think we are seeing the peak of our greenrush. Not all business people are greedy, just like not all Canadians or South Africans, sadly we have an ongoing pandemic called corruption. I hate to say this but tax is not a bad thing to regulate things.

Do you think South Africa will do the same or better or worse than Canada? The thing with South African guys the are to greedy so even if they make it legal for selling I bet there will still be people going the black market way for tax and I think that's what holds them back to legalize marijuana. I you know your business men are as honest as the guys in Canada then you can legalize marijuana.

Not really if you look at statistics, the canadian market has data based on this and you will clearly see that the two markets are being brought closer together thanks to legalisation, and harm reduction.

But they will never match the quality that private growers have. And also I think it's because not everyone can tell the difference between weed so they don't trust or they think you selling them the same thing but the edibles are doing not to bad online.

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.

Thanks a lot Chris - DM'd

I am busy building a community garden at a local coffee place. I hear what you mean, and it becomes overwhelming at times. Draw up a business plan, finances, go around to another nurseries to get ideas. One small step at a time.

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

Welcome

Hi guys, I'll try keep this short and quick: I've always been super happy with my bud after harvest; super dense and frosty, even the small wispy buds lower down will turn your brain to mush. But for some reason I have a persistent problem of the spaces between flower nodes stretching to eternity when I flower. I never see this issue during veg! I've attached some images, the first three being of my indoor photoperiod plants and the 4th being of my casual outdoor autoflower. You can clearly see the density of buds on the autoflower is significantly higher than the photoperiods and I swear I didn't do anything different between each of them! Indoor Strains: 2x OG Kush and 2x King Kong Days in flower: 14 days Light: 8 year old purple spectrum Mars Hydro 600w equivalent LED Light distance from canopy: Moved to around 35-40cm from canopy during flower Nutrients: Terra Aquatica 3 part (Micro, Grow, Bloom). And a dash of Diatomaceous Earth every feed for the Silica pH: Generally around 6-6.3 Growing Medium: Freedom Farms 70/30 Coco Perlite Buffered Outdoor Strain: Zkittles Auto Days in flower: No idea to be honest I wasn't paying that much attention to this plant Light: Good old fashioned sun Amount of light: I actively move the plant around to chase the sun as much as possible. Nutrients: Exactly the same as above but more diluted as you can see some burn going on there pH: As above. Growing Medium: Freedom Farms 70/30 Coco Perlite Buffered

You could reveg, try take two clones of one plant and grow them in different conditions to really check what the issue could be. My two cents, its probably just strain dependent. I'm only on my second grow, and my bud density qualms from the first grow were resolved by changing strain Everything else stayed the same.

Hey man. Large spaces are either formed from not enough light and sometimes its just a trait of the strain. Maybe try defoliate more to expose bud sites. Sometimes the problem is not the amount of light, but instead the light coverage. There could be other reasons, however this is all I know of. On the breeder packs it will let you know if the strain stretches during flowering and sometimes they will mention the common internodal spacing. Different strains have different characteristics during flower and different phenotypes of the same strain can have different plant structure. If you constantly have the same issue, it could be a different reason. Good luck man

What a problem to have... Stinky flowers are a good sign.

She finished wonderful, but I'm doing a second round and it's going even better!

So it can be used throughout the grow, but also depends on how long you vegging your plant for. However, Dirty Hands do have a nutrient feeding schedule for Orgasoilux soil if you want to add nutrients, which I have attached for you. The feeding works out really cheap as you don't use very much of the nutrients at all. You buy these nutrients here - https://jamiesgardenshop.co.za/product-category/organic-garden-products/organic-fertilisers/liquid-organic-fertilizers/ I've grown using their nutrients before and have had great results.

Finally got on marijuanasa, very happy day.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

More like Baeseeds! I see Bayseeds on many of the local seed banks.

Sounds like fun and games, and service is not what it used to be. Just smile and be nice, think outside the box. SAPO - last time I used them my shirt from USA arrived 6 months later. Previous to that it took them 3/4 months to deliver an arrival slip. So all in all service got better. Alibaba I bought a water pump and received a necklance. Gave up on them both.

Hiya @Cannabist, and other members reading this thread, not directed at @Cannabistalone... Perspective. From the consumers point of view now. We paid for a premium product, we expect one. Most of us have honour so we don't sit around plotting to rob seed banks, ja those arse holes do exist, I accept that, but then you have to accept that there are sum dodgy dealers/seedbanks/resellers? I think the point is this, imagine if they did replace the OPs seeds, then he would be here giving a shout out to these guys and others like myself would go check them out...A happy customer will send you other prospects. Also forums like this exist, so that WE can all help each other learn...why make the mistake yourself, rather learn from those more wiser than you, and nothing can beat first hand experience, good and bad... What ever happened to customer care? Ps, if I'm not mistaken the OP had a similar experience but was replaced by fast buds themselves, I stand corrected on this. That's what I call customer ❤ Personally I will only ever buy seeds that come in breeder packs, directly from the breeder, sealed with a tracking number from the breeder that you can go verify for yourself online, just like those from @Sacred Seeds, Merlin u rock man! See thats me giving a shout out to these okes, customer care was tops! But it was @Bakstein420 who told me about sacred seeds and so on and so on and it was @Stinger96 who told me about the forum in the first place, and so on and so on..
