Have not fully considered other options so more than willing to consider other brands, provided they have a good backing.

This is for the LED gurus on the forum. I know very little about LED's. I know about PPFD and PAR but that's about as far as it goes. I've always been using HID and for a number of reasons have decided its time to invest in LED for flower. I have a 1.5m x 1.5m tent so what are my best options? With my limited knowledge its looks like the HLG 550 is a good option but is it possible to DIY for a lot less? Are there any other options?

You're late in flower now so any spray isn't a good idea at all. If only 1 branch is affected I suggest cutting your losses and cutting that branch. If more than 1 branch is affected you basically have 2 options: You manually attempt to remove as many mites as possible with your hands. I suggest wiping all the affected leaves with a small piece of cloth dipped in h202 solution (30ml of h202 per 1 litre (3% H202) but you'll need to keep doing this every few days now as the chances of getting rid of all of them is pretty low when removing by hand. Get your plant into a small sealed container and fill the container with CO2. Not really possible for most people to do but it is an option...

What stage of growth are you in? Neem oil is a preventative and wont treat infestations. Pyrol will do that. The Margaret Roberts or Ludwigs spray will also do the trick but it stinks, rather spend a bit more on Pyrol. I used to stay in Table View and the builders warehouse there used to stock it. Not sure if it still does, nevertheless you wont struggle finding it in the cape

Ideally you wanna get vermicompost... Jamies Garden Shop used to sell it, not sure if he does still.... Then there is this place http://www.wurmbosch.co.za/getmodule.php?id=listitems.php Im sure you'll be able to collect Im sure the doublegrow bags would be good for your AACT's. You could used both EWC and mushroom compost. The more beneficial bacteria and fungi the better

@CreX haha no thats most certainly not right. My F-up! Changing right now Shot!

@GGG I've invited you into the Seed/Clone exchange club and also moved your topic in here

Hi @Meepmeepza Luckily that culterra soil is only R30-R40 a bag so rather set it aside and use it for something else besides cannabis. I haven't seen a single happy plant in culterra's potting soil and countless other growers will agree with that. Rather get some soil that has been tested and proven with cannabis. We can steer you to many good names. I'd hate for you to get all despondent and think you're a kak grower when it was the soil's fault all along, which can easily be the case.

Here are the December 2019 Snapshot Of The Month winners! 4th Place @Tasha_onelove420 3rd Place @Camille 2nd Place @cape.chron 1st Place @High_grade.420 Well done guys great pics as always! I'll be sending you a PM today to get your details for delivery. Side note: I noticed some previous winners entering. As mentioned in the rules from this month and onwards. Members can only come first in an SOTM once every 12 months, or 2nd or 3rd twice every 12 months.

UPDATE Entries will close at 8PM tomorrow night and the winners will be announced on Thursday morning.

Sorry I'm chiming in so late on this... but for future reference what you had there appears to be potassium def. It tends to show up towards the middle or latter stages of flower if the soil/medium hasn't got enough of it. K def is somewhat similar looking to Ca def but Ca def is more "spotty". Potassium def looks like the plant has been burn't, it starts to yellow on the outer edges of the leaves and those cells quickly die soon after

Totally get you and that is one of the downsides of running it as a club at present. One of the reasons I made it a club rather than a forum board is because it makes it so much easier to manage from an admin point of view, in terms of managing viewing restrictions. If we run it through the forums I'll need to create a new member group, assign that group rights to the exchange board, and assign a member to that member group each time they want to join. That method takes a lot longer than adding a member to this club. I do however feel that running it as a club is best though anyway. It just needs to be fine tuned and brought more to the fore in post feeds which I will look into. If guys want to get notifications from this you they just need to click the blue "Follow" button under the Overview tab I like these ideas Also like "The Green Exchange" idea from @Bospatrollie2. Will give it some thought thanks guys

I've finally decided to open up the Grow Reports area. It's not 100% complete but its ready to start taking reports. A little explanation of what grow reports are: Grow Reports are not the same as grow diaries. It's a record submitted of a grow you have completed with a specific cultivar. Basically a summary of the grow and how that specific strain responded in your growing conditions. As you'll see when you add a new grow report, there's a bunch of criteria for you to submit. It's all self explanatory and it'll all make sense once you see it. You guys will essentially be beta testers so please let me know if you encounter any errors. Also please lemme know if you think there is more we can add to the grow reports. Always open to suggestions Here's the link to the grow reports page https://www.420sa.co.za/grow-reports/ You can also find the link in the main menu under the browse tab. You can also find an option to create a grow report under the "Create" or "+" button NOTE: GROW REPORTS AREN'T AND WON'T BE AVAILABLE ON TAPATALK

Not a bad start! Wanna try keep the name shortish and easy to remember... plus remember the club is not just for the exchange of local genetics. It's any genetics I like to incorporation of the word "genetics" though... also had that in mind

Thanks Crex for the input but those boards will be for the exchange of seeds and clones

I've made a little change up and created a board for each province. For those who would prefer to trade more locally. Will also make it a bit easier to find what you're looking for if you're looking more local. I also want to give this club a more stable name that rolls off a bit better. Open to suggestions

No need to worry over that these days Psy. Those days are long gone

@morgancol welcome!

Looks absolutely epic! Will you ride this race medicated @Bakstein420 ?

Thanks bud. This is the stuff... https://ppplastics.co.za/product/bidim-non-woven-geotextiles These are long ass rolls though! 75m-150m! I do remember now that someone mentioned that you can only get this stuff in a huge quantity not really viable for home DIY use. Unless we organise a collective purchase on the forum and split it

Has anyone been able to find a source of geotextile? The same fabric that FF uses for their bags

Hey guys this will be a shorter SOTM this month to accommodate the festive season. There will be no poll held this month as the winners will be announced on the day the comp closes
