What a recovery!!!!!!

I just got some cuts of it again the other day. I smoked it again the other day after a 4 month cure. Dit het my gat geskop.

I have a battery back up system for a light in each tent. 2 hours lights off is an issue if you grow unstable fem seeds. They tend to hermie on you.

My plants are in quite big pots. They drink about 8 liters of water a day atm. (3 plants) This is with the blumat system installed. freedom farms is basically coco peat so I cannot see that coco can hold more water than coco. As soon as you add sphagnum peat moss to the mix your moisture holding capacity increases. Organics Matter soil contains peat moss. So technically it should retain more water. They have also improved there mix over time. If you are looking for something you can reuse I would go with it. Jamie’s garden shop makes the orgasoilux. His soil is blended by Growrite in Epping as far as I know. He had his soil tested and the soil test can be found on his Instagram page and website. The most important part for me is to inoculate your soil with microbes. Be it bacteria or mycorrhizal fungi. Another beneficial organic additives is malted barley teas, especially in the first grow using the soil. My soil is now on its 3rd grow and it is just getting better.

All the soils have their pros and cons. freedom farms need to feed toward the end of Flower orgasoilux is a bit stinky and also contains peat so you cannot dry out the soil completely. Organics matter seems like a good all rounder. I don’t think much is needed. what I am trying to say is you will need to experiment with the soils and see what works for you.

The first book I read was True Living Organics by The Rev. It helped me a great deal developing my soil mix.

Why would you amend store bought soil like that? Orgasoilux, Organics matter and freedom farms are made not so that you don’t have to do anything. You basically just give some essential microbes and water. If you want do fix all your issues that is what I would do from this time forward. Microbes and plain water. Microbes maybe once a month. Water for the rest of it. With organics less is more.

Is it not local elections this year?

Yes

Oh and Quattro Kush crosses from ethos genetics making some more of those seeds atm. Quattro Kush F3 and sour diesel x Quattro Kush F3.

Ginger Tea and Crazy Hazey Archive seeds Apple Jax Inhouse Bobby’s Widow Maldalorian genetics pluto cut auto flower ethos genetics.

Their is places with much better service. It looks like trophy has stepped up their game. Received my order over night. Africa smoke has also stepped up. Also overnight delivery.

I see they are revamping their site. Contact them via Instagram it says in the loading page.

What I heard is that legal grows are pumping product into the illegal market at R10 a gram. It could be sulphur that they spayed or burnt in the last bit of the grow. Lesotho legal producers.

It seems as if you have to put in allot of work before it pays off. But this is how we learn.

No, I don’t import directly. You sometimes get the seedbanks bringing in some decent auto flowers. But people don’t want to pay for them. But I will be working on some auto flower genetics next year. Got my hands on some regular seeds from Gnome genetics. He came second in the Auto flower cup for best flower with his Bobby’s Widow In 2019. Bobby’s widow is white widow from dinafem crossed with Bobby’s Girl by Moxie. I have some auto flower seeds from fastbuds and royal queen seeds. Not my favourite breeders but lets see what they do. So I will pollinate them with the Bobby’s Widow male. Just to see what I get. I am sick and tired of buying seeds. And if you want to go off the grid like I want to there will be no money to buy seeds.

I hope this post is not to late. Please look at this video. I really think it’s the way to go if you want to grow monsters.

The trusted breeders out their is mephisto, night owl and gnome genetics formerly maldalorian genetics. Anybody that these guys work with are also excellent. I have also grown ethos genetics auto flowers they were great but pricey. I am just going to start breeding my own auto’s the I don’t have to buy. Don’t get me wrong the larger European seed banks also have stable lines like all the classic strains. Do they however breed their own seeds? Do they just buy from a bulk supplier?

Which breeder? Breeders that do not do the work on autos will have these issues. When you cross an auto with an photo period the F1 off spring is 90% photo period. When you take a male and a female from the F1 of spring and cross it again you create F2 off spring. With the F2’s you run them under 24 hours of light. You only breed with the ones that have the recessive traits I.e. the auto flowering trait. Those that flower under 24 hours of light. From the F3 generation you see stable auto flowering traits. The good breeders only start selecting the characteristics that they want in the plant from this generation and breed with these plants. Good auto flower genetics where photoperiod plants where bread to be auto flowers is only really released from F3/F4 onwards. But allot of breeders are only their to make money. You need to be picky with genetics/breeders. Follow the guys on instagram or just look at there pages. Good Breeders normally show you the work they have done on the plants. They are transparent.

They do take a bit longer to deliver than otheR seed banks. And the Comms is not as good. But you always get your seeds.

As long as the new growth stays green there is nothing to worry about.

Ok these should be the last pics. 68 days of Flower. The one pheno is milky and the other has some orange trichomes already. I might the one for another couple of days or a week. But it is time for some new flowering plants.
