Talk and attitude is cheap. Run seed to harvest grow. Run a thread. Show week by week how your lights are legit and for the price better than the rest. Repeat it next grow. Include a few random testers. I mean someone who is random. Someone who has a proven track record. Not your buddy. Then speak to the owner of the forum. Discuss how youd like to really be a proud service provider to a long before the law changed group of people and help kickstart South Africa into world class Cannabis supply status, instead of trying to make a quick buck. #JustSaying

Try Tinder. This is a growers forum. Not the hookup corner. Welcome to the forum though. Do you grow? Would be lekker to see if you do so please share with the community.

There are no ready to purchase soils at any nursery suitable for Cannabis. Your best bet is really to get a bag of freedom farms couriered to you, or mix your own. I use nursery potting soils as my carbon and potassium base(has a lot of ash in it.). Then it only makes up 30% of the entire soil recipe. How do you want to grow you should ask. Soil = caring for a microherd of bacteria and fungi(Ie feeding the microbes and they feed the plant) Soiless= coco and perlite. You have to control the nutrients and feed often and acturately which involves EC and pH meters. Hydro = same as soiless except the medium becomes only nutrient solution.

Best option for a temporary fix. 40% Worm castings, 50% coco coir and a little (10%) perlite. Good for seedlings, and will buy you time while you decide which organic options are gonna work for you.

Been browsing the enormous bud website. Do any of you know any of the 4 guys behind it? I haven't heard of them. Cant find much info on the enOrmous bud nutes. I assume its a sugar beet and mollasses...

And so start the gimmics. Ill stick to tried and tested ways passed down from the guys I learnt from, and will pass it on here.

The trick with outdoors is to have a huge variety of different plants. Then dont use any poison anywhere. As all the bugs move in the ecosystem reaches an equilibrium. And bugs are a lot less fond of Cannabis than you think but obviously they wont hesitate to go bos on your canna plants if they have nothing else to eat. I probably have a billion spider mites in the garden, but they are on everything except my cannabis. Outdoors, planting any pumpkin or melon just for the sake of having the plant and not necessarily for its fruit is far preferred by spider mites. Check out the pics below. My one plant is a meter away from the jelly melon. On the melon leaves are thousands of mites and mite carcasses. The carcasses tell me the predatory bugs are at work. If I now spray the melon and kill all the mites, then the predators will leave and search for food elsewhere. Once the balance is messed with pest epidemics usually follow. On the weed leaf. Negligable for a plant that has been outdoors since September.

I would most definately put my soil up as available in the future. Problem with soils are their weight. That is why I have posted how I make mine. If you grow organics long enough you develop your own soil that works for the way you grow. My soils are heavy for example but then my plants are getting full sun and can cope with the "heat" of the soil. Most of veg my plants run a dark emerald green. But yeah, Im keen.

Flowering can really arrive now. Im starting to smell them early morning.

Sup. 3 weeks later and the CG is just starting to flower. The 2 BBs hit a meter and have been LSTed.

Update time. Been suffering a little wind damage, but otherwise ready for flowering. Pulled down the LST yet again today, with a little supercropping here and there to even the canopy out.

For sure. Seeds are a 2-3 month mission. And that mission starts this month.

The choco finishes mid May to June Outdoors. Indoors a much earlier harvest can be anticipated as the choco finishes after 11-12 weeks.

That works for me. Seeds should be ready by end April.

Compliments of the season. Getting ready for flowering. Well almost. The other two LSTs are doing great.

Perske tor. We made kites out of these as kids. Tied a piece of sewing thread to a back foot and they did the rest. Its not a friend but not a concern for your cannabis.

Sup folks. Bubbleberry 7 weeks 40cm. Transplanted into prepared hole from a 5l pot. Crystal Gelato 50cm; from clone and veg times synced with outdoors. Transplanted to prepared hole from 20l pot and then LST.

Yes. This is the final month of veg. By feb pre flowering kicks in full blast.

Hey everyone. Just a little update. She has become a block. Started cleaning up the bottom and will continue as we get closer to flower. Pulled this girl down with another LST. She will develop this already 2m canopy and hopefully really fill up and gain a ruler or more before flower. Before: After: Catch you all in the New Year.

I thought I'd bring an old thread back to life. Every year in my garden ladybugs breed like crazy. This year they have taken a liking to my coliander. I will be collecting larvae and eggs this year and set up and research a captive breeding program. They have a verocious appetite for the most common plant pests and have allowed me to garden pesticide free for years.

So 3 months after soaking seed the girls look great. The first chocolope also had her top pulled down. She hit 1.8m and veg is just too long still for me to ignore. So instead of topping I decided on LST to keep the height in check although she still stands at 1.4m now. The other LSTs are going on just as well and are just shy of 1m tall. Catch you next week.

Sup everybody. Weekly update. I am still in 2 minds whether I should top this one or not.... The LSTs are doing well... One of the LSTs are showing a bud on leaf mutation, so it will be an interesting one to watch.

Great to see the airtime being used so well and not a single piece of propaganda that has been the norm.

So another week of veg and girls happy all round. Yes the foot has to be in the pic! Shes getting to tall almost for top shots. The 2 LST chocos...

Im still gonna figure this one out. Might be better to find a grow shop in each province or the like to distribute. It will be fresh seeds from this years run so will be in time for a winter indoor run since next years outdoor is so far off....
