Greenhouses and tunnels have their place and provide a grower with many advantages. Protection from elements-100km/h winds aren't funny. Wild fauna- vervets, rodents and insects. Monkeys cause serious damage. Improved conditions in winter for perpetual growing. Some greenhouses and tunnels are not constructed with our ''climate'' in mind, so you may need to modify/diy. Built in vents are good but sometimes not enough. A decent oscillating fan will help a lot. My tunnel worked beautifully in winter with the lower RH. It increased temps to such a degree that I could germ and veg comfortably right through winter. In summer it gets a bit too warm and active airflow/ventilation is neccesary too avoid problems. Mostly positives for me but it depends on the each growers conditions. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I believe ''osmotic pressure'' could be the answer you're looking for. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Like my AACT's bruh, brewing every week almost. They can be a pita but the benefits outweigh the efforts for me as I don't use any commercial ''myco'' products anywhere in my grow. For new soil I do a combo of 3 to 4 innoculations usually after a bi weekly turning. I try to vary between bacteria dom and fungi dom. 2x own compost AACT (with soil from established plants) 2x wild AACT from local field and forest. Molasses and Seagrow being the main catalysts. As well as after seedling transplant if I can help it. Going to use SST's this year as well for Veg and bloom and got some bottled seaweed FPJ that will be going in the mix. What mix do you prefer?

Help! Newbie preparing for Spring grow - advice required
Bos replied to PapaSpliff's topic in Starting Your Own Grow
Both the pellets should work for germination. We are growing perpetual outdoor basically, I reuse all my soil. Growing chillies, grenadilla, guavadilla, sweet pototoes and tomatoes. Do batches of about 500lit every 3-4 months, amend with bonemeal, dolomite lime, composted manure and own compost(and whatever else looks good)and let cook for 3 months. It can be done if you prepared to swing a spade and sweat a bit. Our plants are happy. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -
Sounds and looks good@Dank Found a good source of composted herbivorous manure for my mix. Research indicates rabbit manure is best apparently. Would like to try it one day. You going to use AACT on that mound? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

This time of the year up until we hit Sept(more than 12hrs daylight) you want to use as much sun as possible imo. Our girls are in full sun unless it's cloudy, the plants only get shade when they finishing up (last 2 days) The plants will grow in a shady area with dappled/indirect sunlight. Just try to maximize the sun that you've got. They are germed indoors and planted out in the greenhouse to strengthen up(help avoid the goggas while they young), once I have 2 nodes they go outside in full sun.

Aweh Bluntknife, We growing organic outdoors on the north coast- unfortunately heat and humidity doesn't always work for us in the garden. Pest wise depending on your grow space, humidity and ventilation- most common nasties to expect from own experience would be aphids, spidermite, whitefly, thrips and worms(butterflies) Fungus wise - budrot and fusaria. Companion plants helped quite a bit in deterring some nasties and attracting beneficial insects - basil, catnip and marigolds. Sacrificial plants also assist passively- I've got pumpkin and gemsquash covered in mildew and aphids, but nothing on my cannabis. (Give the bugs something better to chow than your cannabis) There are a number of products available for most pests, all with their pro's and con's, but to buy all of it would cost a penny. Just be carefull of systemic pesticides and organo phosfates. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Sometimes a unique and flavoursome cut or cross is more desirable than a huge yielder. Depends on the breeder/growers selection criteria. Personally don't mind an average yield if the fruits are exceptional. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

That is a lekker selection to work with. Some awesome potential for dankness. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Pheno hunting under the new law is going to be difficult. Some plants refuse to stay small and you need the numbers for proper selection. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Super Soil - to layer or not to layer?
Bos replied to Fridge's topic in Organic Growing - Growing in soil
Dog pellets are good fungi fodder. 10min soak in water and left outside to be colonised, then into the mix. Still want to try the cooked rice. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk -
Her colours are awesome, she went dark real quick with the cold snaps this winter. Got about 50/50 clear and milky on the trichs- about a week or two to go. Terps are pungent, sweet and fruity- will see whats, what after she's harvested and cured. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Aweh, Hope the fellow outdoor growers are getting their soil preps sorted. Mine's been cooking for a while and amendments went in, compost is being sifted and many batches of AACT innoculations have been administered. Managed to do some research into SST(seed sprout tea) and decided to give it a go as the science is solid from numerous sources. Settled on mungbean for veg and corn for flower, ladies got their first taste of the new tea today. Reaction from the ladies is positive so far, will keep an eye. Both the Pineapple express and Fruitpunch ladies are bearing seed after manual pollination. Especially excited for the Purple PE pheno. Cheers

Amazing colour contrast on those plants ,looks epic. Strong fade with the yellow, what you looking at on trichome colour? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Seedlings can bend like that if their roots are to shallow following a transplant. Wind or weight of water can bend them too. Don't spray them with water, the weight of the water on the leaves bends them over. Rather pour in a 15cm ring around the seedling to stimulate the roots to go ''look'' for water. Have had a few like that but they recovered without ill effect. If you want- you can gently straighten the stem and ''build'' a cone around the stem to keep it upright/supported. (don't snap the stem!!) The leaves will be crooked, but will eventually straighten as it follows the sun/light. Up to you. Cheers Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Aweh fellow greenfingers, Been playing around this winter, a few crosses and a spot of breeding. Prepping siol for summer etc... Managed to grow some odd beans on the side and found this pretty lady.

Grow them on the side, search the pack. There might be something good in there. It's like looking for gold.. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Prefer fabric Woolies carrier bags to plastic, 25lt buckets and 60lit tubs. Also have some 20lit fabric pots from cannabist, they all work for us. Carrying them is difficult and it will prove a task if you have 10 or more plants to move every day. Some plants will only yield about 30-40gr dry, but I've managed more than 200gr off some plants in 25lt bag and 60lt tub respectively. It depends on so many factors.

No probs. Some photos finish faster than others and it's a blessing as you don't want all those plants finishing at the same time. We stagger our grows about 30 days apart to lighten up on the trimming. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

G.house early in summer will produce some tall trees. But not all the plants will grow tall, depends on the genetics and the size of the pot. I maxed out my 2.4m headspace with a few in 30 and 60lit pots, but it's possible with proper topping and some lst. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
