Interesting question....might be very subjective due to growing styles and variable growing conditions. Even though I grow outdoor, my parameters are very similar. Extremes of both scenarios will definitely be detrimental. Too short and bushy- might be more susceptible to issues like pm, rot and poor light penetration. Too stretched and lanky- would leave you with thin weak stems and buds spaced too far apart. Wasting space. Probably the best plant ''structure'' would be in the middle somewhere, depending on the space and strain. Indicas/Ruderalis naturally grow short and stocky and would benefit from a bit more stretch wheras Sativas grow tall and lanky and probably need to be held in check. Growers manipulate the plant to fit their space, the plant isn't really ''allowed'' to grow the way it ''naturally'' would, which may also be a form of stress. I would go with a ''bit more'' stretch to capitalise on air circulation and light penetration and to avoid all the other bad shit. Happy healthy plants that experience the least amount of ''stress'' will produce the best yields. My2c Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Evening good people, Went upskirt on the ladies with the trimmers, 2 stage/2 day defoliation and cleanup. Cut back on all ''bullshit buds'' and ''popcorns'' in an effort to focus all the plants nutrient/energy supply on the solid buds. Think we are going to need some extra support...[emoji1] love ladies with curves. Germinated the next gen.

Looks like nute burn, depending on what you are feeding and how much. What does the new growth look like? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Morning, my 2c's We live in one of the most beautifull countries in the world and our cost of living is still cheaper than most. We have no hurricanes, no earthquakes, no volcanos, no tsunamis. If you want to go, you go. But as was mentioned above, if you decide to go, do your homework. Doing it to ''get away'' is for the wrong reasons, you should be ''going towards'' to better or improve your life. But on the other side of the coin, how can you judge ''how bad'' it is? Have you even been anywhere else to be able to make an informed comparison? You will be pleasantly surprised. Yes, there are problems in RSA....most other countries have similar problems and some are actually worse. Before you jump the fence, go have a look first.

Good morning all, In the interests of learning have a look at this ''motherbuffer''. First noticed some munching damage on the leaves, usually outdoors it's typical of a worm or grasshopper. Doubt whether its a common occurrence indoors. Didnt think much of it at first as grasshoppers are very difficult to stop outdoor. 2nd day noticed the damage had progressed...this is not a grasshopper!!! Investigated much closer, scanning every leaf from top to bottom and found this stealthy mofo neatly camouflaged in its little house underneath a fan leaf. They hide during the day when vulnerable and come out at night and munch away in peace and quiet. They can strip a lot of leaf matter in a very short amount of time. So beware and take note outdoor growers. Cheers Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Evening 420SA, Slight update on our outdoor. Flowering ladies doing their thing despite the season chill. Enjoying their tea and it shows. Starting to put on a little weight - in a good way...hahaha[emoji3] Greenthumbsalltheway. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Strife and bullshit.... you dont have to look very hard. There is plenty of that in the world. The madness in the world. The madness is the world. As a species we seem hell bound to ensure our own demise. Mankind has turned ''life'' into a monstrosity, a psychotic, political, dog eat dog, capatalistic, stress laden nightmare of an event that you are lucky to survive from and as a bonus turns most normal people into zombie assholes. ''Oh... you live in South Africa, here have an exta helping ''fuckeduptness'' Fuckinhell...that's not what it its supposed to be about. Stop the bus I want to get off!!! (Well...more like an IED in the engine bay) ''It is not at the hand of man to take life. He was gifted with the heavenly purpose of creating it.'' Our own intelligence is the problem. ''We think therefore we are'' In our wisdom we saw fit to ignore the ''equilibrium'' of our planet. I believe we will eventually destroy ourselves. But not today... Accept that which we cannot change, otherwise the ensuing madness will steal all the joy and light from your life. Forget about the world, it will fuck itself up without your assistance. Enjoy the ''little things'' which are actually not that little. Quantum physics anyone. The love, I thought I'd never find again. A beautifull woman to share life with. The laughter of my children playing. The aroma of sunday roast. Good red wine, whiskey and great music. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Girlfriend baked some chocolate chip muffins, haven't eaten anything since the ''hash yogurt'' in the UK many moons ago. But those muffins went down well and all was chilled and relaxed. The laughter was abundant.[emoji23][emoji16] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Canna Chilli Surprise Was checking up on my Palermo's and lo and behold.... Companion planted themselves. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hahaha...Was nervously aware of my neighbors with that plant, keeping an eye and all. Eventually I had to gently push her over(hillbilly LST) and tied her to a bamboo stake to keep her out of view. Couldn't do much about the fragrances though. Luckily it remained stealthy.[emoji41] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I've changed my germination method slightly as I believe the ''paper towel'' part cost me some beans in the past. This is personal opinion. 12-24hr soak in water Staight into seedling trays with compost (Water with AACT- I suspect the microflora are crucial at this stage) Keep trays indoor for warmth, transfer outside as soon as the emerge. Last two batches 100% germ rate. Will run this method on the w/w and c/o end of the month. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Sugar is a carbohydrate the microbes will love it. Or use it for AACT. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hahahah Yeahhh.... I'm with Pat999 on that one. Coffee and Roses sounds interesting but when you added garlic to the mix my mind went Nnoooooo!!!that can't be good[emoji16][emoji23] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi@nachmanedes Welcome to the forum. You up early? Gotta give us a little more info bruh.... Indoor/outdoor/organic/hydro What you got growing? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thanks@Ssomeguy I am happy with the results so far, ladies are doing well, but it's early days yet. Believe she will do even better in the summer outdoor season as winter outdoor conditions aren't ideal. Time will tell. Puff puff pass[emoji39] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Sad tidings today, Unfortunately our reveging Mango lady has given up the ghost. Reasons are not 100% clear, maybe the stress of having the remaining buds trimmed off in an effort to promote reveging was the last straw. Maybe the outside day/night temp swings 10/30deg was just too much. Maybe all the above. She was crossed with a Swazi Gold male and some of the resulting beans were so keen to grow they cracked and showed tap roots while still on the tree, before they could be harvested. Of course they were duly planted[emoji4] The resulting offspring has us quitely optimistic. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Evening fellow horticulturists 2 of our ladies have forged ahead and started bulking up and we have increased their feeding schedule to satisfy their needs. Despite an attempt by some spidermites and thrips trying to spoil the party. Pushing full strength seagrow (50ml/10lit+ 2ml epsom) mixed with koipond water for added benefits. So far so good.

I have been testing many different organic applications from the beginning of 2019 on more than just my cannabis plants. It is a venture for my own knowledge and to prove or debunk all the stuff you read on the net. Yes I am aware that there will be eff...ups, but what I learn today I can apply tomorrow. Some ''mixtures/applications''were more potent than others as I dont only grow cannabis and all plants react differently. My main criteria was to try and match commercial products in efficacy but most importantly retain the organic diy element. What I can report....After two intensive applications the spidermites are nearly gone and I have not found another thrip. But only time will tell. This type of knowledge is what I'm after and if it is successful I will share. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
