420SA's going to have a new extension added to the website in the nearby future in the form of a online News/Magazine site. It will be linked to this forum and members will be able to comment on articles and some members will be able to write articles themselves. Which brings me to ask if anyone would be keen on voluntarily writing articles for our new mag section? It could be a news article or any topic you have knowledge on or feel strongly about. It could be a tutorial as well. You'll still be posting under the same anonymous Nick that you have on this forum. Each article will go through me for approval and a quick proof read after which your article will be published live. Let me know if you'd be keen :thumbups

With that budget you can sort yourself out quite nicely. I reckon a tent is much better than that cupboard. You can fold up and pack a tent away, plus a tent is more versatile and has the right holes for ducting. Maybe look at the 120/70/165 tent at gthydro. Use a 6" fan with scrubber and you might be able to keep the heat down with that. I'm not sure if a 600W bulb will get too hot in there, its hard to say. What side of the country are you from? Winter is approaching which is a good thing for indoor growers and heat. -

Shrimp meal is a great fertilizer for a living soil. It's rich in nitrogen, phosphorous and calcium. Plus it contains chitin. This post sums up chitin pretty well http://www.rollitup.org/t/chitin-chitoson-and-chitinase.604708/ have a read The only problem is that we don't get shrimp or crustacean meal in SA.... no problem though cause it's actually really easy to make at home. You just have to get hold of some prawn shells or crab shells, bake them and then ground them up. Before I go further, let me just warn that you better be prepared for the stench of baking prawn shell to linger in your house a bit... So what I did was use some prawn shells left over from a meal. I had 15 queen prawn shells to work with and my goal was to get at least a cup of shrimp meal I first rinsed off the shells under a warm tap to wash off most of the oils, sauces and and any extra flesh that was left on the shells. I then soaked them in hot water for an hour, drained the water and let them sit for a while I then pre-heated the oven to 200. Put the prawns into an oven dish And baked the shells in the oven for 1h30min Some baked prawn shell anyone? The shells are now very light and crumble very easily and are ready to be ground up into a "meal". I put the shells in a blender and ground them up for about 10 minutes. In the attempt that I made on this post I used a shitty blender which is why my end product didn't come out as finely ground as I would have liked but apparently shrimp meal breaks down rapidly so I should be alright. I'd suggest you use a coffee grinder or something to that effect. Here's what I ended up with, about 3/5 of a cup of shrimp meal. Not what I was gunning for but I got some at least Sprinkle it onto your soil mix and mix it in thoroughly There we go... hopefully as time goes by we can refine this method if it needs it. Try your luck with your local seafood restaurant, they might do you a solid one and keep their prawn or crab shells for you. As you can see you need a lot of shells. I would say at least 30 average sized prawns if possible. If you can get crab shell you might be able to make up the required quantity easier. Give it a go, would love to see someone else's results.

As far as I'm aware there are 2 seed banks going locally but use entirely at your own risk http://www.greensmokeroomseeds.com/ and https://www.cannabisseeds.co.za/ I would still suggest bonzaseeds.com though

Have a look at this question and answer session with a legal attorney regarding your rights after the recent judgement https://www.reddit.com/r/southafrica/comments/62ybdz/south_african_attorney_here_im_here_until_11_am/

Agreed, swapping/trading seeds instead of buying would be the way to go. Having a well established and trusted trading network would be great, provided the laws permit it. I think we may have to just hold on a bit until we gain clarity on what can be done and what cannot, right now there's still a lot of grey areas. The worst part is that the legislation has to run through parliament :'( I think there's a mass of South Africans out there right now who have planted seeds thinking its a relatively straight forward process. Once they hit the inevitable issues that beginners go through they'll be here. I hope

So how would the seed exchange work?
