Thanks for the input Dank. She came from bagseed so it's very difficult to id her original genetics. I'm not worried too much, mother nature provides. Just going to have to find the patience to dry and cure her properly.... Eishhhh. Will keep the mango skunk in mind. Cheers Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Evening all. All told she finally delivered 78gr dried and cured. Did find a couple of seeded buds yielding about 40 seeds. She smokes very well, smooth and sweet and almost none of the ''cannabis smell'' We harvested ''later'',lots of amber thrichs with CBD in mind to aid relaxation and sleep. Before bed with coffee...awesome. Thanks to all for the inputs.(Puff puff pass) Keep the peace. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Evening 420's Harvested our funky pheno dubbed ''mango kush'' today. Trichs looked good mostly cloudy with some amber. Left the branch with the pollenated buds on in an effort to let them ripen properly and if I am very lucky she might reveg through winter. The sweet mango aromas are driving us nuts.

Flippen awesome. This will be a great example to follow. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Yeah it depends what you're prepared to spend. Isn't that why we're growing our own- with a little bit of effort you can smoke top class bud at a fraction of the price. And we know exactly where it comes from and what is in it. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Welcome highjinx Enjoy the site. A lot of knowledgeable people on here. Helps a lot with us noobs. Feel free to post some pics. Cheers Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Cool man, liking the diy. Keep posting progress pics. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Good day 420sa Got the lady pregnant. Going to experiment with a bit of breeding. The leaf to bud ratio seems good, the developing buds and main cola are dense with good resin production. The scent of mangoes in the morning are awesome. The possibilities are too tempting. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Organic miticides can be mixed at home using essential oils. Peppermint, rosemary and citronella are recommended and seem quite effective. I'm testing a peppermint oil mix on spidermite. 3 liters water 30 drops peppermint oil 2 tb spoons cooking oil 2 tb spoons soft soap During flowering the options become limited. I wouldn't spray anything on my buds , just not sure what residues will remain. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Ok I get your thinking, went the same way but on a smaller scale. Downside of bagseed- males and hermies. Out of 30 seedlings...5 males and 1 hermie. Suspect my LST and topping might induce 1 or 2 more hermies. But my next gen is allready popping, 4x DP and 10x swazi. Going to grow through winter with supplemental lighting.

Yeah, I hear you on the companion planting. My outdoor grow area was chosen for its sunny position and away from prying eyes. I've decided to selectively introduce companion plants(tomatoes, basil and squash) to create a mini 'biosphere', hopefully attracting some beneficial insects to try and keep the bad critters in check.

Holy moly Stinger96 112 seedlings....are you planning to take over the world? You growing outdoors I assume? Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Good is an understatement Pat... I'll be stoked if I get more than 50g dry weight off my 1st swazi lady. Harvested the last buds and main colas 6 days ago- still drying- high ambient rh here. But then again I'm growing outdoor. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Been battling red spidermites for a week now. Blasting them with soap and epson, now trying soap, oil and peppermint oil. Luckily the spider mite are sticking to the tomatoes so far and staying away from my swazi girls. What works for you guys? Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

That looks awesome. A lot of good smoke and variety. Lekke man. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

My method is quite similar. Soak the beans in dechlorinated water in a shotglass for 12hrs to soften up. Then transfer onto round cotton facepads and place 2nd pad on top to cover. Taking care not to mix different strains-label them. Keep them moist and warm ishh for 2 to 3 days in a dark area. Once the tap root emerges 5-10mm I transplant to prepared seedling trays (tap root down) with my own compost and riversandsand mix. Once 4 leaves emerge I transfer to forever pots. If the seeds don't germinate in the 2 to 3 days I don't discard them. I transfer them to a separate pot of soil in a last ditch effort. Had quite a few beans surprize me that way.

Afternoon all. Planting all kinds alongside my Swazi. Got some palermo sweet pepper seedlings on the go. Have a green ,yellow and orange tamato forest in the front garden, some plants nearly 1.5m tall. They dig the compost teas that I use on the swazi. Sweet potatoes and strawberries running underneath. Basil, rosemary and catnip dotted in between to keep the bugs away. Managed to germinate some passionfruit a while ago, trelissed the vine and it's bearing good fruit now. Keeps me busy and out of trouble. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Welcome Noon. Enjoy the experience. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Our choices were between local grown seeded, prematurely harvested lowgrade and some ok-ishh ,bonedry ''imported'' weed. Growing our own has shot that to s##t, the homegrown bud beats it hands down. Aroma, flavour and potency. Properly cured it's just better. I'll never go back now. Currently puffing Swazi gold and DP. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Eishhh, thats not cool. Had the same thing, if you catch it quick and it's not completely snapped off, tape it up it should heal. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

What a brilliant article, Clearly explaining so many misconceptions. Bloody good read. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Evening 420sa I seem to have found a interesting phenotype in my bagseed batch. It grew and started flowering quick and has a different leaf structure. 3 point main leaf. Buds are real pungent and fruity. The interweb research suggests there might be some Ruderalis coming through. What are your thoughts on a bit of breeding? Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Evening good ppl- bit of an update. Did a bit of harvesting pruning and curing. My swazi lady yielded 23g cured so far. Expecting a bit more from the main colas which I'm chopping tomorrow. It's not huge but it's a good start. Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk
