Keep us posted on the progress

@Chris Jay the way you felt sounds more trippy to me, more like a psychedelic high compared to cannabis high. However it seems some people do infact find cannabis to be a bit psychedelic and trippy, I suppose they just have a natural, lower tolerance to it than I do. Quite interesting I find, but similar occurrences are common - everybody reacts to different substances in a different way. 40mg of cannabis will affect one person in a certain way and another person in a completely different way and the same applies to various other substances. I seldom find cannabis to be energizing, does not rally stimulate me much. However dabs I tend to find more stimulating in terms of the high and when cannabis is mixed with caffeine, the effects are quite different compared to just cannabis or just caffeine by itself. It turns into more of a stimulating high, one where I am able to be more active. I do not enjoy running in general, I'd much rather cycle than run. Never tried to cycle while high though. Gym and lifting weights while high, that was a joke and a waste of time. The weed made me faaar too lazy and gave me a bit of a "I do not care" attitude where trying to lift heavy weights was a complete waste a time and felt like a lot more effort than usual.

Just try manipulate the plant to ensure as many of the budsites get light as possible and that leaves are not blocking the light and also to ensure there is sufficient airflow through the canopy. Doesn't look terribly dense though, so shouldn't be too much of a worry but will still help a bit.

Looks good and healthy to me. Maybe try and open up the canopy a bit to ensure the light penetrates the canopy and reaches all bud sites, as long as you have enough light for the plant then nothing to worry about. What light are you running?

Wowzer, you and I do very different things when we're high. haha Very impressive though. Then again, I do not even like running when I am sober. Much rather do different forms of exercise than run. For me, exercise is more of a sober activity. I get high to chill and relax, so after doing exercise generally.

Without a doubt. Gonna take a few days. But it'll be well worth it. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Looking great!! Screw dagga lab, I say we call it a jungle! :D When people ask you where you got the bud from, you can tell them it came from the jungle. Haha Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

It is never too late! Start one now and keep us updated on the progress of your plants. Any questions or anything you are unsure of, ask in your diary too.

An industry such as cannabis will always attract various types of people. Some will be it in for the love of the plant and will happily assist others where possible. Others just to try and make money and couldn't care about the industry in general, nor about the consumers or the future of the plant... as long as it benefits them now. Many people just looking out for themselves end of the day. I am not sure that contrast will ever disappear, the potential with cannabis is just too high to ignore.

The market might be more mature than ours, however that is actually what I like about our local market and communities. We're still at the point where its home growers mostly. No legal dispensaries all over the place like overseas. We are still able to set the framework and determine the market and direction it goes in. Many people are still only getting into cannabis now in terms of growing their own. I find this far more exciting than the US market. EDIT: Generally speaking, I prefer the international forums as the information is generally better and the forums are more active. However there are some exceptions and 420SA is certainly one of them. Sometimes being able to talk to locals is far more valuable than what is available and up for discussion on international forums. The products we have access to locally differ significantly compared to what is available in the US and some of the products available in the US are priced stupidly high locally and takes away the appeal.

Nice to see some plants inside the tent! Maybe start a new thread for a grow diary?

What is your aim when you create new seeds / strains? What is it that you like to look for in a plants when breeding them and deciding what is a keeper and what is not? When do you determine that it is time to change things up a bit and add some new strains into your mix of breeding material? I recall you recently started some breeding with Slurricane for example.

@DamDave how much cinnamon do you add? @Wulf I agree with @CreX it does not look like a fungus gnat. No clue what it may be though. Sorry.

Welcome! If you are flowering it outdoors, not likely it will finish unless it is an autoflower. To me, it looks far from ready as well - you would need a loupe or microscope in order to really tell as one needs to be able to look at the colour of the trichomes to tell whether it is ripe / ready for harvest.

Ethos Mandarin Cookies put me off cookie strains to be honest. Would be keen to try some again at some point though.

@Golden-Goose I think the Critical Banana looks pretty good. Stardawg x Fire Alien Kush is also quite intriguing.

Fungi are truly amazing and we likely are not using them to their full potential. @Teal Smith some lovely pictures there!

No, I think the member you are thinking about was @Green Leaf Organics but I do not believe this is his soil. This soil is made much closer to JHB, cannot remember where exactly and they might have even changed the location as to where they make it.

Isn't it the Organics Matter which is sold via the 420SA store? Comes with a free bag of mycorrhizal fungi inside. @Ill_Evan am I right or is it a different soil? Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

I do agree, they are pretty awesome and powerful lights. You could get away with 3 but it would not provide the optimal PPFD output for that size tent (2.4 x 1.2). You could still flower in the tent and get a decent yield and decent results, however that would improve with additional lighting - provided the rest of your grow is in check and going well @Prom which fan is that which you are running? I do feel one can get away without an intake fan, I have so far not been using an intake fan. However having passive air intake becomes needed. Secret Jardin make these awesome intakes with filters. It's part of their accessories and included with their Dark Street range, however it can be used on any tent. No light leaks and has a filter built in.

Just BTW Samsung do no make those boards, they only make the diodes. Do not be caught off with the way some retailers word their lights. I reckon 10+ plants in such a space, you would want more light for that area however you could get away with what you have but results wouldn't be the same as if you had more lights obviously. As for adding a COB, you could but I would personally rather have a quantum board or LED strips over a COB. Better spread and more even coverage when compared against a COB, although it does also depend on the COB but generally speaking a COB wont have the same spread / coverage when compared against QBs or strips.

Welcome Golden Goose! Got some nice looking strains on your site!

I used it, however I have since moved over to GHE nutes. @CreX is using it now I believe. Very cheap nutes. Although Hortimix is also very cheap and works well too. Haifa is a bit of a mission to mix as it takes a while to dissolve. With Hortimix I just mixed it into 5L bottles and used the liquid in the needed ratios, but I did up the strength on the Hortimix. Hortimix is also available in smaller quantities.

Nice! Eager to see how your grow turns out

Hey Milie! Welcome to the forum. I also use Quantum Boards with LM301B diodes - excellent lights! I love mine You can burn your plants with LEDs if the lights are too close to the plants. As for the hanging height, there are lots of variables and your growing conditions might differ from mine so it is hard to say unless things are evened out. The watts you have your lights dimmed to will affect the height significantly. Also you may have fewer plants and therefore are happy to run them lower and at a lower wattage to ensure light is not "wasted" by ending up reflecting off the side walls of the tent type of thing. Typically 30cm to 45cm is a decent height to have your lights above your plants, you can move them higher up too if you need a better spread but the further away the light is from the plant, the lower the concentration of the light is which the plant receives. I for one prefer to run my lights rather close to my plants and have on multiple occasions run them lower than 30cm above the plants. If you give us a bit more detail on your setup, such as how big your tent is and whether you are using the full space of the tent, then perhaps we can provide you with a bit more specific recommendations.
