Been pondering.....thinking of cutting and sewing a 20-40% shade net cover to fit our tunnel frame. Improved airflow and ventilation is what we're after, would be a good option for summer, we running as is for winter for the experience, just to see. Ĺots of possible modifications in the future.

Lekker. Enjoy. Have a look around and ask questions. Learnt a lot on the forum. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

It can depend on the strain as well. Certain plants just trim easy wet or dry. Swazi gold is a pain to trim dry cause of all the tiny sugar leaves. We have found thru trial and error that we prefer wet trim above dry. As the leaves dry they curl in, making dry trimming a bit of a pita and it takes much longer. We gently rinse/wash the green plant with water and shake off excess before trimming. Less stickyness on your hands and tools. Each to his own. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Looking good@Mambawana Smaller plants/clones for breeding simplify a lot of stuff and they produce enough beans. Just let them mature properly-but you got that covered. Have you got a closed off area to contain pollen? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Looks like some good spires starting. Lekker.[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Trying the best I can, thanks@Dank There will always be challenges, but we learn and handle them better. Yeah these ladies of yours are going to deliver. Luckily no budrot yet, but enough spidermites and worms and caterpillars. Caterpillar/worm poop is budrot breeding ground with our humidity. Butterflies might be pretty, but I can't like them anymore....hahaha.[emoji3] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi@Vanessa In the later stages of flowering the plant pushes a lot of nutrients into its buds. Even pulling nutes out of leaves and directing it into the buds as the plant finishes up. ''Yellowing'' is normal up to a point, there are certain ''abnormal'' conditions that may look or present similar like: ph fluctuations, root problems, N and S defs.

Had to add the greenhouse girl as well. Unfortunately them bloody mites have gotten to her as you can see from the leaves. If you ever doubted the red spidermite and their damage-those leaves show 7days damage- previous update there was almost nothing. But she has been dosed twice, hopefully those buggers die.

Howzit 420SA, Pic 1-3. A Purple Bud from Seedsman A Indica dominant hydrid that goes purple during lower temps. Got some fris sticky buds developing. We will wait and see what she does. Pic 4-7. Nice frosty WW X CHEESE sativa lady. Sweet and fruity. Pic 8-10. Our inhouse Fruitpunch auto lady doing her thing. Fruity mango scents and solid buds thanks to her Ruderalis moms' roots (pheno A) Pic 11-14. Another Fruitpunch lady leaning more towards her Swazi gold fathers side(pheno B) We wanted big and we got bigger. Pic 15-17. White widow lady struggling to carry her buds. Looks like the plant structure did not develop well enough, but her buds are sweet. Pic 18. The new generation of f3 Fruitpunch auto girls doing their thing.

All organic.

Aweh fellow florists, This Kush Cookie lady has put on some good weight in all the right places. The north coast weather is against us right now, rain and the south wester is gusting. Luckily these outdoor ladies were planted with this in mind and they are sheltered to a degree. Got some good girth on these buds and the plant structure is strong enough to handle the weight. Colours are around 75%milky and 25%clear, so keeping a close eye on her. Had an explosion of butterflies the last few days, so she also got dosed with Ecobuz pestpro last week, followed by Margaret Roberts worm muti.(rain doesn't help) Cheers

Ahoy, The outdoor Cookie bird lady is doing lekker, despite the wind and rain. We getting hammered with 80-90km/h gusts again today and the predictions for the coming days don't bode well. Her buds have bulked up nicely and the tricomes are starting to go milky. Hoping she'll be ready soon, as I am concerned about budrot with all the rain we've been getting. Sprayed all the girls with Ecobuz pestpro to manage the recurring spidermite issue, follow up with Margaret Roberts for worms a few days later. Can't look at butterflies the same way anymore. Cheers.

That looks like good things to come.... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

It works, the cutting draws up the colour and it looks impressive. BUT be aware.... it is nearly unsmokable afterwards. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Still early days@zairek Maybe 2 weeks, but she will tell me when she's ready. That specific lady still needs to bulk up a bit. Checking trichs every few days, got a number of ladies are in various stages of flower so have to keep a good eye on them all. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Dreamy Garden.

Check your trichs colours with a loupe or magnifying glass. Many of our girls need support with their buds, I cut bamboo stakes and use that to keep them upright. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks @Vanessa Takelot- SA based distributor. Quite interested to see the winter conditions and the plants reaction. Think it should be good for autos and veggies. Our summer was a bit too hot and humid, so we will be modifying it bit more to improve ventilation and airflow for next summer. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Took a quick pic this morning. Girls are doing well, most are in flower- various stages. But I'm not without issues. Still battling the Fusaria fungal problem, it's only affecting certain plants, only 3 so far. Might have been a bad batch of soil from the nursery, I dont know. The cinnamon and honey mix seems to check it for about a week and then it carries on, starving branches of nutes untill it wilts completely. The clove and nicotine sprays keep the worms and spidermites in check but those mites are hardy buggers and keep coming back. Need more companion plants to keep them busy. Funny enough my outdoor ladies are experiencing far less issues than in the greenhouse/tunnel. First Fruitpunch babies have germed for the start of the winter grow. Stay safe and grow well. Peace 420SA

Bliksem....no such thing here either. You guys are lucky down in the Cape. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Nice recovery. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Aweh....fellow Greenfingers. The potted Vanilla Kush lady showed good colours, mostly milky with a dash of amber. Trimming was a breeze, 5 days drying and into the jars the went. All told she weighed in at 143gr dry. Blazed some testers and MAN were they tasty. A sweet almost fruity scent, tastewise wise we still undecided- mix between pineapple sugus and winegums. Hahaha.... It was all good. Can't wait for the Big Girl. Awesome stuff thanks for the beans @Dank

Ahoy... One Cookie Bird lady putting on some weight in all the right places.
