High folks Been a while since I've run a diary. My previous one had to be abruptly aborted around September last year due to a number of circumstances and due to the immense heat around here during the months of November, December and Jan I decided to take a break for a few months.

We have another new page on 420SA! The Classifieds Previously we have been running the classifieds as another regular forum board. As a result, creating the adverts were tedious. Now we have a dedicated classifieds area which is categorised, laid out in a specific way and tailored for advert submission, which I hope will make things be much easier. If you have any input on how we can improve the our classifieds area please comment below hope you guys like it. What' will happen to the old classifieds board? As of today, the old classifieds won't be taking in any new adverts. The current adverts will be left to run until sold and members will be able to reply. I do advise you move your advert over to the new Classifieds though. The classifieds board under the forum will then eventually be removed.

Hi Dean You'll need to upload your photos here please Thanks

EXIF data is automatically stripped when you upload images on 420SA. No need to worry about doing it yourself

https://thehighco.co.za/spannabis-cancelled-by-authoritiesies/ Bit of a balls up from the spannabis organisers don't you think? Surely they should've been in contact with the authorities and advisers and cancelled this event much sooner....

@Valhalllafarms and @Peter Green Please PM me the following details: Your name Delivery Address Your cell number

Alright guys here are our winners! Can the winners please contact me via PM with the following details please: Your name Delivery Address Your cell number In 3rd place @Peter Green - We liked the idea behind this pic. Thought it was something a little different In 2nd place @Valhalllafarms - This pic just has good impact And in 1st place... @Dagga Home Grower - if this pic wasn't gonna win him 1st place one of his other pics would have anyway! A well deserved 1st place. The lighting, colour, focus and effect is all spot on. Well done!

Hey guys I must apologise for going off the radar. Was away last week in an area with really frustrating data signal which made it impossible to browse the forum and get things sorted with regard to this SOTM. I assure that winners will be announced tomorrow morning or early afternoon. Hope you all had a good weekend

It happens to so many people that I think a user has to be really naive to think that weed has nothing to do with panic attacks and paranoia but I personally don't think weed is the direct cause. I reckon its a person's mind and their ego. To me cannabis multiplies an emotion. If you're happy, cannabis will make it even better. If you're chilled, cannabis will make you more chilled. If you're worried about something, cannabis will make you even more worried about it to the point that you can't breathe. If you think that you're gonna die, cannabis will make you feel pretty damn convinced that you will. Cannabis is a mild psychedelic. The very same things happen to people who've had bad trips on acid, thinking they're dying, can't breathe etc. You're wrestling with your ego and that's where the panic attacks come in. You have to be in the right mind space. If you can just calm your mind or get your mind off those negative thoughts you'll notice how you come right again. I've experienced the very same things, especially where breathing is concerned. Also times when I feel like I'm gonna pass out. This always happens when I'm sitting and not doing much. If I'm out being mobile it never happens. Which to me shows me that it's in my mind Just my

Awesome to see

As an indoor grower I just don't see the use. The genetics have come a long way though and for outdoors it seems like a really handy option

Looks like government is getting quite serious about it now... finally

Cant be sure from the pics but it looks like your plant is very densely packed with foliage which aids in PM buildup. Densely packed foliage leads to pockets of stagnant air with higher humidity which leads to PM. Will confirm once you have posted a full pic but it looks like you need to remove some foliage in addition to the treatments suggested above

Definitely stop with the neem oil. Can we maybe see a pic?

Just a heads up that the 2nd prize has changed up a bit: 2nd place wins Sponsored by Green Smoke Room Seeds 10 Golden Retriever Fem Seeds Green Smoke Room Seeds Grinder Green Smoke Room Seeds Stickers Green Smoke Room Seeds Lanyard

I've never heard of anyone being arrested for seeds to be honest. I've heard of seedbanks being shut down in the past but didn't hear of their owners being arrested. I've heard of customs confiscating seeds but not arresting the person the seeds were intended for. We have a few established seedbanks in SA now with owners names out in the public domain. Nothing seems to be happening to them. I don't think the SAPS fully understands their stance on it, nor do they thankfully want to waste resources on it. I think at the end of the day the big issue will become the money and whether its being taxed and that's probably why it hasn't been given a green light by the SAPS/government. I think the shutdowns and confiscations are like a slap on the wrist to prevent you from trying to spend your untaxed money again Last week I received an email from Payfast which is the online payment merchant for the online store. They said that they have disconnected the account because it's "High Risk". They didn't state the exact reason for the account closure but it's most likely because the store is selling seeds. @Cannabist that happened to you too right? I don't think Payfast are 100% sure themselves but are staying on the safe side for now...

@Vinxjo and @Kyle Pienaar you guys still need to contact me via PM for your prize.

@Dank was meant to include the vid It's in my post now

This is probably a clever marketing ploy by the guys who made this video as the purpose of the video isn't to bring to light the title of this thread but it inadvertently does. They test a supposed landrace in the eastern cape that has been growing for "thousands" of years. What's interesting is that the strain tests 9% CBD and 3% THC. Something very uncharacteristic of other landraces in SA. Anyone know what landrace they referring to here? Transkei?

Here are January's SOTM winners! Could the winners please send me a PM with the following details - Your name, Delivery Address and Contact Number for courier. Congratulations to those who won! -------THE WINNERS------- 3rd Place @Chris Jay This was a strongly contested spot but ultimately we decided on this pic for 3rd place as it's a little different from the norm. We like the thought behind it. 2nd Place @Kyle Pienaar Although it's a somewhat straight forward image, there is just something special about it. We think it resonates well with the daily home grower, basically all of us on the forum. The lighting is good, a deserved 2nd place winner. 1st Place @Vinxjo This pic has a lot going for it. Firstly, the moment captured is a rare and perfect one. Then we have good focus, light and depth of field. It's a winner and deservedly takes this month's 1st prize! Congrats!
