Welcome dread, what kind of grow style are you aiming for?? Looking to grow some of nature's finest under nature's finest? (the sun) Or looking to be a bit more secretive and set up something indoor?

Ay so it's you who iv been seeing this thing ey?? Looks like it works, but most weed seedlings will outgrow that space in a few weeks Although, wouldn't mind getting a cacti or 3 under that, or use it as a seed starter and move it out when it's bigger. What this kinda thing go for man?

I was gifted some Haifa a while back and it took a bit of time to figure out how it works... Hell I'm still figuring it out. The feeding schedule that came from Haifa was not bad, when mixed the ec measurements weren't very high and I had initial success. A few months down the line though, and I ran into trouble with weird problems and a mate came over with his fancy blue lab prong meters and established that my pH was on point... But my ec was through the roof!! The slurry tests I was doing were yielding inaccurate results compared to the prong meters. From then I halved the dose of the feed and the results have been great again... Better than the results I had initially using the standard feed. Haifa And microbes go hand in hand though, don't forget about those mycos either!

gotta give us a grow report on her then

Austrailia : you, hey you...you over there with the passion... you want your dream job? grow all the cannabis your heart can muster? Me: hell yea thats great! whats the catch? Austrailia: You cant ever have cannabis again...... Me: .......... well miss me out on that trip sucker!! This is why Australia is not the greatest country in the world

The ZxP looks fantastic man!! keen to see what you got per plant here. whats the scent like on her?

nice work man! a temperature regulated clone space is really ideal for faster cloning. very cool. i have tinkered with those strip lights before, they arent very good for growing, but they do a great job at lighting the are, and giving the cuttings just enough light to do their things. 10\10 from me bru!

yo - we could look into it - i see you have posted in the correct place, but you are right - lets ask the captain if he can sort that out for us all. @420SA https://www.420sa.co.za/forum/18-hydroponic-growing

you get very argumentative on many subjects in many topics dude, im not just going to let you steam roll everyone with your bias to flushing.

you take a step back man - you are contradicting the shit you are trying to defend. to the point that you are ignoring the videos words saying the best smoke from the blind test was the 0 day flush, and the worst was any of the others that had a flush, all just to save a bit of time and a bit of dirt cheap nutes? where are your priorities man? great smoke, or shortcuts to your time consuming hobby? i literally just said i reuse my medium, so its not a waste for me because any left over nutes just go to the next plants.... i absolutely save more money than most people by reusing my meduims...way more than a few lame tips would save me..... 1+1=2 type stuff if i was throwing away my medium, then maybe ill think about starving my plants a little before harvest. you know...so i can put it toward the next 300l of meduim i buy.

Dude - the video you posted straight up abolishes the necessity of flushing, and then he sums up a few lame time saving tips and minor nute saving tips. of which the time saved and nutes saved over the period of 5 years would still be negligible. the okes with all the equipment and advanced tech and money pretty much pointed out with great detail how little a difference it makes to the final product... in other words, its total bro science that it makes any difference. seeing as i reuse my medium, the "waste" would just go into the next cycle for the next set of plants to uptake. i also need to feed my plants very regularly, regardless of phase of veg or flower, so i would just not be saving any time on that watering front. no, this is not what i am saying at all - a plant fading because its hungry, vs a plant fading due to it reaching the end of its biological clock are completely different. i feed my plants right up until harvest day for the reason i mentioned above, as well as because the plants i grow fade by themselves giving me a really good idea for when they are ready - some plants take a much longer time to naturally fade than others. Consider outdoor plants and how they flower and then fade - how would you explain that then? because most outdoor plants get plain water the whole way through its life... Not arguing... well i am a little bit... but im just trying to elaborate on my experience without flushing and the success i have had, and am just trying to get the point across that flushing is absolutely unnecessary for a great yeild, and the factors around harsh smoke black ash and taste is largely dependent on the way the herb is cured

in my opinion - flushing is a waste of time and energy. 100% bro science i have not flushed my totes in years, and further to that, i have not even tilled my totes in months and have only been growing better and better meds every run. If you have a healthy meduim with the correct amount of nutes, your plant will obviously be healthy too. you wont have burnt tips, no deficiencies or toxicities and buds that will continue growing until harvest day. If you want to reduce harshness in your buds you need to improve your drying and curing skills, as well as feed less toward the end of flower so the plant can naturally fade while it finishes up - flushing does not induce a fade, it will induce deficiencies that look like a fade. the only time you should flush your meduim is when you have trouble with a toxicity, where the flush will aid in removing excess nutes. if you have been feeding moderately then you will not run into toxicity issues. reuse your meduim, innoculate with microbes and fungi... the proof is in the pudding!

Yo guys!! Let's get some more fire up in this crib!! I know all you okes have some!!

Here we have some Sugarcane looking a bit on the dark side. Like a Marijuana with a infamous plan for your future

but is it.....cheesy?

all i know is dont go buy your mary jane in the fancy parts of town because it comes with a fancy price

that seems to be the general consensus... small nugs, underwhelming yeild. but my fuck is it frosty and the terps are mind melting!! it really is a tough decision to drop it from the garden... subsequent crosses with the plat punch seem to bring the frost through as well as larger nugs, so keep an eye out for Plat punch crosses as they are generally fire

LOL I hear you man!! I have only met one dealer who lived up to the expectation of what R250 weed is in the minds of most... the rest have shocked me with what goes for 150!! thank goodness we switched years a go to home grown

i have found that this takes a bit of practice and trial and error. i reuse my coco in the totes, and i reammend with the talborne vita-flower and give a feed of a MKP additive because i noticed that my plants suffer potassuim deficiencies in early veg. maybe have a control pot with your reused soil and see where it lacks... then you can reammend it with the right stuff . ofcoarse this is a time consuming process

here is why your plants are flowering a bit earlier. first you have to know that different strains of weed will flower even if the 12\12 light schedule is not observed. some strains can start flowering with 14-15 hours of light and less dark. typically, the rule is to induce flowering, you need a solid 8 hours of darkness to flower, which leaves as much as 16 hours of light for some strains in extreame cases!! now lets look at the sun guide for south africa, Sun guide , straight away you can see that november has enough darkness to induce flowering, with the best time to start flowering is in March. if you can erect an outdoor light, can be very low watts, then you can trick your plant to then its still full veg time and then when you take the light away in march, you will grow indoor quality outdoor... or what they are calling Greendoor of late. this should also clear up the misconception of a semi auto realizing the fact that some photo period plants can flower in seemingly veg conditions. there are 3 types of cannabis Photo periods - these require a change in the lighting conditions to start flowering - this is 100% controllable Autos - these will flower when they are ready and no amount of different light schedule changes will trigger a flowering response which is built in to the plants biological clock Ruderalis - this is the plant that is mixed into a photo period plant to make an auto, this plant does not produce significant yeild at all and its only value is to pass along the Auto gene to plants that actually do yeild well, there is no such thing as a semi auto, it either requires a change in ligh cycle to flower, or it does not. As for the sativa question... here in sunny south africa, we cant really complain about the weather we have outdoors, and in saying that, if you have a great season with plenty sunny days and minimum overcast or rainy days, the chances are very high that the outdoor plant will not only finish a week or so faster, but will also grow much larger buds than the indoor clone. the sun is so powerful and us indoor growers often take its raw power for granted.

your reply is an understatement - the plants LOVE the space and i have never grown better meds since the move to totes!

i have my meters outside my tent, and they have become an indicator as to weather the tent is on or not because i dont always want to open the tent to see whats up!! This has saved me a few times already

sjoe man!! have you added anything to the base of he plants recently to prepare for flower or not really?

aaaaaaaay!! i saw the tote and then got excited that someones growing in totes as well!!! then i saw the next pics haha - you must really give it a try some time man!!

you should try a tote grow some time then man im feeling you on the better roots, better fruits vibe
