A total of 83 photos entered this month. Our biggest SOTM yet! Fantastic to see the stack of quality entries that are coming in these days. Thanks to all of you that entered this month. Those that didn't make the cut please don't get despondent. Your chance will come! Here are this month's 8 nominees (in order of date & time entered): @High_grade.420 @Growfo @McB @Moosed @trichomechaser Entry #1 @trichomechaser Entry #2 @CougheeCultivator @SkunkPharm It's been decided that the polls will now run for 10 days. Poll up shortly. GOOD LUCK!

They tested it on the hotbox show and it indicated that Leafolo has like 13% THC or something like that. Was on the ep with Marc Emery. So yes a total gimmick

@SkunkPharm I see you got a tag there, don't forget to post under the POTM thread

Welcome @highchome Thanks for joining

Denatured basically means purposely poisoned to stop it from being consumed so use denatured entirely at your own risk, same goes for rubbing alcohols. 99% food grade ethanol is what you should be using if your aim is to have a clean medicine. If you low on budget and you want extract to smoke then surely you're far better off extracting with newport butane?

Fans.co.za will be your best bet. They're basically a wholesaler of extraction fans and can almost guarantee you'll get a cheaper price from them than the grow shops Email them with a model number asking for a quote

All well and good... but Zane should be calling you

For the growers in the rest of the country, your seeds will be on their way to JHB next week where an online store will be distributing the seeds. No charge on the seeds, you'll just need to make a small order for some rolling papers and cover the courier fee. Instructions and details will be supplied by PM

If anyone reading this hasn't yet indicated whether they're from Cape Town or not please head on over to the Indoor and Outdoor growoff clubs and under the "Sign Up" tab you will find the relevant thread to indicate where you are. For those wanting to take part of course. Alternatively you can just PM me and tell me whether you'd like to participate and whether you're from Cape Town or the rest of SA. The clubs can't be accessed easily on Tapatalk. Make sure to use a browser on your phone for this.

@Moosed could you please give us a shot of your whole plant please

Dry trim definitely. I started off wet trimming bud. After trying dry trim for the first time I wouldn't dare wet trim again. Dry trimming seems to be a standard with the big commercial growers in the states too

Its been hectic in the industry lately! Sorry for the belated announcement but POTM is underway. Everything will be realigned next month

Plant Of The Month April 2019 Sponsored by The winner takes home the following Freedom Farms Hoodie 500ml Fire Juice Freedom Farms Cap Entries close 28/04/19. A poll will then run till 12pm 04/05/19 to decide the winner How to enter? Simply reply to this thread with your entries. You can attach the images to your reply or embed the images Competition rules: • Each member can enter a maximum of 3 different plants • In order to ensure authenticity you are required to take a picture of your plant with the date and your username or name handwritten/printed onto a piece of paper or whatever you choose. The main thing is that the tag with your username and date is tangible. No watermark tags will be accepted. • Photos of plants must NOT be taken under HPS lights or multi spectrum LED lights as one can't properly judge the colour of the plant. Photographing them with a flash at night or under natural light is fine • Please post a photo of the whole plant in at least one image please. • Members may post as many updated photos of the same plant as they want but the images must always contain the tag. • Should the date and name tag hinder you from taking a decent photo you may post another photo of the same plant, without the tag, along with your tagged photo on the same date. • A minimum number of 20 votes is required for the poll to be declared valid and decide the winner. Should the minimum number of votes not be met. The winner will be decided by the admin, competition sponsor and mods (provided the mods have not entered themselves) Good luck!

For just over a month from seed that's pretty darn impressive!

@thegreenfarm let us know about your setup, how you grow, strains etc.

Thanks for joining @thegreenfarm

@Hydro Herb Africa

This thread has been cleaned up. Drifted light years away from the point of this topic. @Apollo Flux and @growopz you guys can settle your differences elsewhere. If you want to punt/promote or try to make light that your products are better than anyone else's you can do that through the advertising channels just like others have to. Otherwise let the members here decipher for themselves and report back to the forum. Education is good but when you drag your products into your arguments you can consider those posts removed. Don't even waste your time

I brought in about 8 ladybugs into my tent just over a month ago to control a spider mite issue I've been battling for a while now. Thought it was a complete fail seeing as I havent seen them since. Was surprised to see this little guy/girl pop up last night

Really disappointing. Have you tried to phone them?

Welcome to 420SA @Bospatrollie2

@Gnome benzene is carcinogenic and properly toxic. Unless you're 100% sure that your purging process leaves not a single trace of residual solvent, using benzene is seriously risky. As far as I'm aware it's almost impossible to get rid of all residual solvents using basic purging methods. Especially for people starting out, its best to stick with food grade ethanol as its safe for consumption. Not denatured, food grade. It's more expensive than the other solvents but we're trying make meds here so there shouldn't be a compromise IMO...

Are these male preflowers? Im not 100% sure
