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!

Sorry for the delay guys. Haven't had a chance to make the announcement post today. Winners will be announced tomorrow morning.

@Prom sorry entries closed last Friday

Please vote for your preferred seedbank based in South Africa, for 2020. Suggestions for additions most welcome

Good thinking! Rather than a reset I'll create a new topic and pin it. As of today this poll is now closed

We'll get the poll up on Monday and the winners will be announced next Friday

It's now up @Bakstein420 and @Cannabist

I'm not saying it isn't the light but there are other factors that can also lead to airy bud, namely high heat. How's the temps in your grow area?

Only picked up on this topic now. Had to do some cleaning up. Please note guys, no discussion whatsoever about purchasing/selling/trading

Pay them a visit and speak to one of the waiters. Offer to pay them 50 bucks or something like that for them to hold onto all the shells from the day. Best to choose a day on the weekend

I did a post quite a while back on how to make your own shrimp meal. Here's a simple video guide on how to make your own

You can only advertise via the paid for banners or via your vendor board should you subscribe for one.

Welcome @juice Are you wanting to advertise a business/your business?

@Smelly Joe so you're referring to the growoff diaries? Is that right? At the time when the growoff clubs were first created, the permission options were very limited for clubs. If the club was visible to guests, the posts had to be visible too which is never what I wanted but there was no choice....Fortunately not anymore so I've set the clubs to "closed". This what something I was meant to sort out but slipped my mind. Thanks for bringing it to light @Smelly Joe Please check and confirm

@Smelly Joe I just logged out and checked and the Grow Diaries can't be seen as a guest.Checked in another browser and its the same as well Are you sure that you can see the diaries when logged out? Can someone check this as well? @PsyCLown can you check when you have a chance? The grow diaries should remain visible only to members

Welcome!

Could you maybe list every component that your build consists or maybe a link to a thread that does? I need to try and get a better understanding of the components and what they cost individually. As mentioned I know very little about LED's so when you guys start talking QB76464 and LM76587 diodes I haven't the faintest clue what you're on about Basically what I know right now is that you need a driver, lights and heatsink Are meiju reputed? What happens if a diode or two goes, what kinda replacement costs are we looking at?
