Judging by the curly leaves at the top, she looks to be revegging as well. 2nd the comments. Prep pots/bags and soil for a good summer grow. What about planting some auto flowering (10-12 week to flower) strains that could help tide you over untill the summer harvest is ready? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Welcome. Glad kzn is representing. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Aweh. Winter is a problem for outdoor growers. Either you grow indoors or you can plant auto's. Otherwise go big in summer. Now is the time for outdoor growers to be prepping soil for summer. This is the wrong time of the year to be planting photoperiod plants. You can plant autoflowering strains that may yield better in winter. (I've harvested 30-40gr dry off auto's this winter) Photoperiods will grow but remain small till they reach sexual maturity and due to the short days will start flowering very quickly- yield will be small.(like the pics) Depending on where you grow ambient winter temps will also affect the growth of the plants. They don't like very cold temps, but can survive. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Here's a good explanation on trichome colours for harvesting. Bit you need some magnification- jewelers loupe etc. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Happy girls.

That Space princess looks awesome. Very frosty and attractive colours. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Lekker man. Like those avos in between enjoying the light and warmth. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

That's the spirit. That Aurora kush looks good. Congrats on the bounce back. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Flippen nice idea this. Clone transport seems iffy but wtf. Indoor growers will have a bit of an advantage wrt to cloning and vegging abilities all year round. But summer is around the corner, then the outdoor growers can play ball too.

Congrats. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Aweh fellow greenfingers, The winter chills are upon us but, grow we will. 1/2. a Clash of Titans..... and local is lekker. Unintended consequence. Proof is in the pudding, some buds drying quitely, sweet skunky bliss. 3-6. Found 2 decidedly different Pineapple express pheno's. One seems more sativa, the other more kush. 7-10. The Fruitpunch queens looking good after their feed and tea. This winter made it awfully difficult for any type of outdoor growing. Pushed some limits and took a few hits, might have found some good stuff for my trouble. But summer is coming.... Keep it green. Cheers

Never tried wood ash in a tea, might play hell with the ph. Not sure what the ph swings will do for the microbes. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I use bonemeal in my soil, but in flower I topdress with wood ash. The wood ash ph is quite high so use small amounts. Nute wise I use Ecobuz multigrow as it's NPK content is more towards flowering than veg.(more P and K than N) Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Most Deepcycle batts don't like going lower than 50% SOC. The life of the battery could be severely shortened, so technically you only have half of the stated AH available. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

All my brew gear is outside, use a fountain pump for vortex and circulation and a dual output aquarium airpump for added aeration in a 25lt bucket with lid. Have tried numerous mixes and most of them come out awesome with the ''mentioned'' method. Have found that I need to stay below 24hrs on the brew (usually 18hrs) or it starts going funky.

There are many ways to clean water and technology is advancing in that field. We need to find what works for us in our applications. Clean water is a resource that will become invaluable in the near future. Everyone should learn how to collect, clean and manage clean water. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Usually rainwater is pretty clean, depending on how its collected. You just need to keep it that way. If I don't circulate my tank for 2 weeks, it starts to smell (anearobic) I started just with circulation (750w 2500lt/h pump) and then added a 250ml 50% strength maintenance dose once a month.

Awesome initiative. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hydrogen Peroxide can be used for larger volume water purification. The dosages need to be spot on or it will oxidize too quickly and not ''clean'' the water properly. The dosage volumes also make it impractical. Adding half a cup of chlorine or Jik is much easier than lugging litres of peroxide. Testing for free chlorine in water is also much more convenient.

@Chris Jay, Water quality requirements for human consumption are much more stringent, for obvious reasons. Chlorine is preferred because it kills most, if not all of the pathogems that are dangerous to humans.(Choliforms, E.Coli, Bacillus, Legionaires) And if the chlorine is not exposed to direct sunlight it stays in the water for a long time doing its job. Peroxide has a short metabolic path and is quickly reduced to H2 and O2 But as an organic grower I don't want to water my plants with chlorinated water as it will kill all my good microbes. Our rainwater is used exclusively for the garden hence the use of peroxide, which is slightly more cost effective and assists to oxygenate the water. 1.Treatments for borehole water vary depending on quality, but usually involve a large primary reservoir for settling out sediment. 2. Secondary stage with sand and activated charcoal filtering. 3. Third stage for ph correction and either chlorine addition or membrane filtration before consumption, depending on which is preferred. UV radiation treatment is also a good final treatment for added peace of mind. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Our outdoor grows only recieves rainwater, collected from the roof. Have a pressure pump rigged up on a manifold system to send it where we need it, including the circulation line for aeration. Rain water is usually collected from rooftops etc... and will include some dodgy bits, hadeda/hammerkop poop and gecko carcasses, which will contain bacteria. If you collect from the roof think about installing some pre filtration to keep the solids(leaves twigs) out and a sediment filter for the dust and sand. You will need to seal it properly because it will attract mosquitos. Circulation is good to keep the water aerated. A maintenance dose of hydrogen peroxide will also help keep the bacteria in check. Have a look on google and decide what will work best for your setup. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

How to compare the intricate mycological flora from a well established 1000 year old undisturbed forest with what's happening in your ''residential'' garden soil, that's had much, much less time. Compare that with ''supersoils'' or ''craft soils and the amount of disturbances and processing involved. In the effort to emulate mother nature we will always be lagging behind, needing all the help we can get. She has all the time in the world to create. I say add the myco's.
