The list of sponsors is amazing! Cannot wait for an event like this to take place in JHB!

I'd stop fish mix as you flip to flower. You're in soil, it should have nutritional value unlike an inert medium like coco or rockwool, plus the build up of fish mix in the soil from veg and bloom has nitrogen in it as well. You could use a bit of the grow if you wanted to while going into flower, although I don't feel it's necessary. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

@Riettevdm My advice is get seeds from a different breeder and consider trying photoperiods and not autoflowers. The seeds from @Totemic are a good option. Unlikely you will experience issues with these and they are well priced too. There are other good options available as well. I'd say give that GG#4 a skip - you will likely get better results from one of these: https://www.totemic.co.za/product-category/seeds/feminized-seeds/

Nute burn, deficiencies, lockout. To me it looks as if the plants are clawing, possibly due to too much nutes. What medium are you using and which nutes? For the nutes, are you following the chart or doing your own ratios?

Pitty about the weather, let's see how the seeds do! Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Nah, no negatives for the plants. If you want clean and sparkly, stay away from organic stuff. The amino mix I use has molasses in it and not even sure what else, but that is the source of the slimy stuff. Silica you need to be careful with. Too much can cause lockout issues and adding it in the incorrect order can cause nutes to precipitate out of solution which makes it unavailable to the plants. I have now stopped using silica again.

So turns out that plant at the back is female! Did a defol on it. So I have the following inside the tent: 2x GG Wedding Mints (different phenos) (20L) 2x Critical Banana (different phenos) (20L) 1x Pineapple Chem (20L) 1x Banizzle (20L) 1x Crescendo (20L) 1x Crescendo (10L) 2x Citradelic Sunset (10L) 1x Bananium (10L) 1x Platinum Punch (10L) 1x Zweet Inzanity (10L) I have 1x GG Wedding Mint and the 1x Dosi Punch in veg still. Will flip once they're a bit bigger and see whether they're male or fem. They won't be part of this grow diary though.

Wait a bit to confirm. I recently (within the last week) had a plant which I was quite sure was a male and it looked like a male and then I noticed a pistil. I was pleasantly surprised, always give it a bit more time to make 100% sure. Seeds are not cheap.

The Amino mix I use, if added to a res with air stones turns to a weird sludge / gel, similar to a kombucha scoby, in particular around the air stone. Not sure whether it is a good or bad thing, however it will clog pipes on automatic watering systems and also stops your airstones from working properly. You need to peel that stuff off the airstones and then try clean it up still.

The issue outdoors is the rain and RH. Indoors you may have high RH but at least there is no rain falling on your plants combined with the high RH. Preventative sprays for PM and defol can help though.

Yeah, one spray of sulphur or coppersoap should work well.

Yes, that does look like PM. Never used Neem for PM. Try some spraying sulphur / bio sulphur instead - you should get better results for PM Coppersoap can also work well, but only to be used in veg.

I'm excited for this, Pitty flower tent isn't looking too hot currently. Let me see what I'm able to do though! Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Me too! I know there is potential for some serious Gas on Gas = GAS! So a quick update, checked that tall plant in the back which did not get a defol and turns out it's female! So that is a win. Need to do a defol on her, likely tonight. Will do an update over the weekend with a tally of what all is in the tent and which plants from seed are still in veg (I think there are only 2 stragglers).

@Vivid Dreamer Nice! I assume the plants you're running are cuttings you got from others or did you purchase some seeds? Also keep in mind one does not measure grow lights by their lux/lumen, but instead their PAR (PPFD). As for affordable grow lights, take a look at our vendors on the forum. Looking good for a first attempt, I am not a fan of those air pots. Fabric pots I feel do a better job and are easier to work with. I think it was @Martin7318 who recently got to try some fabric pots and was previously using those air pots.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your stay!

Another 4 to 5 weeks I roughly. Next time, grow some photoperiods

Price has been dropped Prefer not to ship as it's glass and could break easily - if you need shipping, will be at your risk and cost.

Stretchy plants are a pain to work with, internodal spacing the size of ones hand. Let's see how it turns out though.

So GG4 is the big, stretchy one?

Howdy! So been a while since I last had a grow diary. New year, new grow! Decided to skip through the boring veg part - but to bring you all up to speed I got some seeds from @Golden-Goose and BnB (all regulars). Popped them on 31 December and flipped most on 20 Feb (from seed takes quite a bit longer than from cutting). So I got the following seeds: GG Wedding Mints (GG Strains) Critical Banana (Old School Genetics) Pineapple Chem (Golden Goose) Dosi Punch (Symbiotic Genetics) I had fucking horrible luck with the Dosi Punch, only ended up with 1 seedling which stunted and is still in veg. Hoping it is female. BnB won't do anything, the breeder has not responded to me - waste of money unfortunately. Hope this plant makes it worth it though. All other seeds germinated without issues. I think there is also one GG Wedding Mints in veg as that plant was taking its time and I did not want to wait any longer to flip as some plants were getting pretty darn tall already. I have already culled 6 or 7 males, there is one more plant which I am certain is male - will double check tonight and cull it if it is infact a male. At the same time, I decided to try a bit of an experiment and have put some plants into 10L pots, no training. See how that does in terms of yield and convenience. So this grow diary is a bit of a mix between some plants being grown from seed, as well as an experiment and to ensure the tent is full, I will likely be adding a few other plants into this tent to flower them. I plan on adding a Banizzle from @THCSA which is a Jungle Boys cross. The bud I saw from this plant looked fantastic and the bud I got to try was superb! The plant I have is from seed so hopefully it is female and we shall see what pheno I get. However I do plan on buying a pack of the Banizzle and some other seeds from Lank Dank Seedbank in the very near future! As for the experiment with the 10L pots, I have a mix of plants - some I have run before which are frosty AF but low yielders, some which I have run before which yield well but lack frost and some which I have not run before and have no clue what to expect. These are the strains in the experiment: Platinum Punch (In House Genetics) Bananium (In House Genetics) Crescendo (Ethos) Zweet Insanity (Ethos) Citradelic Sunset (Ethos) x2 I do not think I will be focusing much on the experiment, more on the other plants in the 20L fabric pots. Here is a pic I took over the weekend after I did a defol. The plant at the back which is still busy.... pretty sure its a male.

Growing from seed and doing a comparison isn't ideal, there can be quite a few differences when growing from seed. I have purchased packs of seeds where one plant looks nothing like the other and then a 3rd one is more along the lines of what I'd like. I have also grown the same cutting a few times and due to inconsistencies, ended up with bud which looks as if it could have been from a different strain despite it being a cut from a known pheno. Small changes can make big differences and depending on how accurate you want the comparison to be, you need to try ensure everything is as much the same as possible. Although possibly too late to look at sourcing 2 clones of the same plant - still going to be cool to see the differences, although differences in terms of terps, trichomes, yield, bud structure all go out the window and cannot be accurately compared. To put it into perspective, the below two pics is the same strain, just different phenos. Not the biggest difference I have noticed, just what I have pics of.
