Morning fellow Greenfingers, The Vanilla Kush ladies are doing great. Especially the lady in the earth, she is much larger the the potted girls. They have started thickening stems, so preflowering/flower is due to start soon. Still feeding them a veg mix of seagrow, molasses and epsom, they love it and it shows. All recieved some tea yesterday which went down well, happiness all round. Just have to keep on my game with the outside girls wrt ipm as the vegetarian critters are out in force. Most notably aroured scale and mites, which got spotted and sorted early on, thank goodness.

That ups idea is clever. It'll defs help out with loadshitting. I've got no dedicated space indoors, so my whole setup is outdoors exposed to the elements. (Only the cloning setup inside) Had to get creative as it is and dont want to cart stuff back and forth. Trying my best to work smart, not hard. So far so good. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

The foam/biofilm is only an indicator for me, some of my brews have foam and some don't. Important signs are the fresh/earthy/foresty/mushroom smell and in my case with koipond water slightly fishy. The brew before (breakdown brew) stood for a few hours without air/circulation and went sour and stinky. The anaerobic bacteria made it smell bad and that is what you dont want to give your plants. That brew got chucked. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Eishhh this tea brewing is a hazardous thing....haha. Had a hell of a time getting my setup 100% First the airpump gave up the ghost and the fountain pump decided to electrocute me. New airpump, new waterpump and the next brew is looking lekker.[emoji16] Used koipond water with Seagrow, molasses and alfalfa as the fungi love it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

@CreX I can't tell from the photo, could be perlite as you say. @SmokeyZero will have to confirm. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Smokey. Did a bit of research as I've had a similar root growth situation on some of my plants. That looks like root nematode galls. Certain nematodes can be beneficial, but other species are bad for your plants and it seems they can survive in a watery environment ie. hydro. I haven't found a solution for my problem yet, need to do some more digging. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Defs fungi dom samples, she's brewing allready. Liked the ''smell'' story. People always look at me funny when I open the bags a grab a handfull, feel and smell it....hahaha.[emoji3] Never used commercial soils ''out or the bag'' in my teas, as I believe they are pretty sterile. Give them a month or two cooking with garden compost, manure and multiple aact innoculations, that's another story. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Where there is a will there is a way. That spacetote plant looks blerrie good man, irrespective of where or how it was grown. It shows what can be done. Imagine what can be done with a steel cupboard.... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

The ideas for tea's on this thread are awesome.[emoji16] Been slacking a bit with my brews of late, but I got inspired by the posts here. Was pulling nightshift and went for a ramble in a patch of coastal forest, found some good samples(with visible mycelium) for a brew. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Beautifull...that's the best part. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Lots of pretty flowers...looking nice. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

For spidermite you need guns....and more than one, but most products can't be used during flowering so your options become very limited....which sucks. That's why I mentioned Ecobuz, it has worked well for me but you have to apply more than once. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I've had good results with Ecobuz pestpro, contains bacteria that targets spidermite. Saw it at Builders and gave it a go, now it's part of my ipm. I have also read that ash from the braai can also be used for dusting. Not sure if ash and DE have the same sharp microscopic edges. Spidermites are tough bliksems so I like to go at them from multiple angles and wipe them out. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Had a similar problem, needed to upsize, 1x in the earth and 1x 60lit. Those roots are going to love the new freedom. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Touché and in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools, " said I, "You do not know Silence, like a cancer, grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells, of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. From a different time. Some of the most evocative lyrics ever even today. The state of nature conservation in our country is...''like a cancer'' Hats off to those involved trying to protect what little is left. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Now you trippin down memory lane... First bankies at the taxi rank with mates, it was shit. Basically majat with more sticks,seeds and leaves than bud...but it did the job hahaha. Then I had the privilege of spending 2jrs in the UK and boy did that change things. Smoked more hash/hashish, as true bud was scarce and expensive. We smoked it every way imaginable. Stone Chillums, bongs, hot knives, Japanese fountains, fruit pipes...it was epic. Back in SA been growing on and off, until 2yrs ago. Bought a bankie from the local Bgf - I wasn't impressed. This awesome plant could be elevated to a new level if grown right, so I said eff this. I will grow, dry and cure it right and smoke my own - haven't bought any weed since.

@Dank. They growing well and like you said....hungry and thristy. Relocated the tallest lady (1st pic prev post) this morning to a more accommodating 60lit tub. Gently pulled her out like a solid slug of roots and straight into her new home. Don't like transplanting large plants but it had to be done. She'll slow down for a day or 2 and I expect a strong flush of growth. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Looking very good. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi Missmayhem Have a look at these diy organic pest/miticides. I have made and used both with good success. Ingredients are cheap and readily available. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Merry 2020 ppl Mr @Dank Cookie Birds are doing well. Tall, hungry and thirsty trees....just got a lekker growth flush going. Headroom may become an issue at this rate as my 2.4m ceiling is not far off, worst case they'll have to finish up outside. They still snackin on seagrow and molasses, with some epsom for good measure. Did another compost topdressing to help with moisture retention and organic volume. So far no serious defs, just trying to keep a close eye, suspect I'm going to have some rootbound issues so we prepping some 60lit tubs. Keep on puffin Cheers

Happy 2020 fellow greenfingers Mister @Dank Vanilla kush Cookie ladies are doing grand. The greenhouse lady has started pushing pistils and the outdoor lady (far right) isn't far behind. They are handling our summer heat well, using more water than usual as can be expected. Can't go without a watering for more than 3 days- dankie tog vir die Jojo. Feeding Seagrow and molasses, started introducing the Ecobuz as it's nutrient profile leans more towards flowering. When they properly set in flower I'll mix them some bloom juice . Keep it green. Cheers

Currently using a alu 'Sharp Stone' grinder from 'High Co'. Awesome little grinder, like the magnetic centre holding it together. It has taken quite a beating and is still going strong. Don't like plastic. Only neg - Personally find it a bit on the 'thin' side 'gripwise' if you got big hands like me, but it still works like a charm. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Terpines and cannbinoids. Cannabis plants are genetically predisposed to develop both, but the profiles of each can be influenced to a degree by eviromental factors (medium, nutes, growstyle, light) I have found that terpine profiles become more complex if harvested later. We enjoy an interesting and enjoyable smooth smoke more than getting smacked with 10pounds of thc. Just my 10c Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
