Dude same. Very airy buds, and I had a lot of it

You did way better than I did with that strain, nice one

I'm going to do mine outside so would be interesting to see the difference.

This was my thoughts, is landrace even a thing anymore? Like anywhere? I would think it would set a breeder back a bit to attempt to work with a untouched landrace strain, if one could find one. I'd imagine the breeder would anyways just mix that landrace with a tried and tested US/EU strain. But I'm a n00b at breeding so my knowledge extends to what is posted in this thread

I'm going to be using nets on the next grow in my 2.4x1.2 space. At the end of flower last grow, half the branches were moering all over the place, had to use plenty of yo-yos and twist ties to keep things at the canopy. Hoping the net also keeps the canopy more uniform.

This man is getting me Ethos Autos as well. Anyway to start a joint diary?

!*whoop whoop whoop*! Sorry sir you are under suspicion of being way too cooked, could you remove your glasses for me sir? Just as suspected. Send them in!

I'm talking about marketing. I'm aware, I didn't say they don't sell international at all. Cooked Jay everybody!

They are a whole other story though. From a pack of 5 fems of their version of the GDP I'd say only 1 of them were "ok". From what I see they breed for seeds, not to contend. Their farm is based in California and they do super random strains en masse. In fact, I don't really see them as breeders. Although they do have the dosh to spend on marketing hence you see them as the most "local commercial" seed bank, but even they seldom get the high-end international strains.

Pretty much this. My first local breeder buy was of @Totemic and it was completely based on his reputation, the diaries I've read of his over the time I've been on the forum, and then finally the genetics within the Tortoni F1 was the trigger point. I was worried it would have sold out by the time I had the space to grow them so even though they are not on the next grow line-up I really wanted to just have them ready to go I think a big push for local genetics comes from forums like this and also from the seed banks themselves. I can imagine the struggle of marketing as a local breeder because at the end of the day, the breeder is busy working on their craft over trying to sell their work. The international breeders bleed money into marketing which can easily attribute to the price per seed, but they have the ability to do so. I don't think there is a question that local breeders have just as good genetics as the international guys, it's just exposure and branding I feel. As @Prom says, the legal private home growing has made a huge impact to the interest of cannabis and the availability of information. It really is the tip of the ice-berg though, if government doesn't screw up too much, the cannabis industry will be the next big boom this country seriously needs.

It's not just clever, it's sexy.

The collective shall guide you

@PsyCLown this is art my dude, don't hate

I think you will be very happy with Ripper Seeds. Keen to see that run

The harvest has been concluded. Apart from the one Criminal + cola that got some mold, another cola from one Jock Horror also started to get some mold, so I decided to start chopping the whole grow. Some plants could have gone another one or two weeks, in particular the Jock Horror and Royal Gorilla, but this is in my opinion specific to just these strains as they do have quite long flowering times as opposed to the others as they are supposedly more sativa dominant. While trimming I did not find any more mold which was a relief. Took me roughly three days to get it all done, it felt like a time warp trimming tree after tree. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've taken the veg plants from the small veg tent and now placed them in the flower tent, and placed the drying net with the harvest into the small tent to continue drying. I find the smaller tent with the drying net creates the ideal drying environment. The drying process in this stage has in the past lasted up to 10 days which I feel is a nice slow dry. I think I am going to be pretty stacked for a while... So let's just go ahead and start up the next one

I would follow the instructions on the bottle for the full dosage and simply give a little more often than what you are currently doing, but don't go overwater your plants. Yes you can give too much nutrients, so stick with what the bottle says and if there is still deficiency we work from there.

I've done snowboarding and skiing when I was in Europe and more recently I got into muay thai but since the gyms can't really do any contact sports I haven't done much apart from hitting the bag. As soon as the gyms are allowed to operate fully again I'd like to do BJJ and get back into muay thai properly. In future when I have hundreds of thousands of Rand to blow I'll get into paramotors especially when they figure out the electric versions.

Some girls be greedy, homie

They are definitely more into flower than in veg, I wouldn't transplant this far into flower but adding some fresh growing medium isn't the end of the world. Check in a few days whether the light green in your leaves gets any darker or not. The first pic I would have rather added some nitrosol as it appears the plant is slightly deficient in nitrogen. Cannabis plants still need a bit of nitrogen in flower but not too much. The second pic the flower looks more mature so you may be experiencing a mix of fade which happens as you progress further into flower, depending on the genetics, and a little bit of nitrogen deficiency as well.

Are you feeding any nutrients at the moment or just water?

It's an auto pot (edit: or is it?) with an air pump and air dome seems strange it wouldn't be getting enough oxygen Maybe take the pot off the auto pot tray for a bit to let the medium dry a bit more? Might also just sort itself out with time as the plants and roots get bigger.

Even better!

You telling me!

I had been eyeing @Totemic's Tortoni F1 for some time now and since @Cannabist has rejoined us I decided to make an order with them to get these seeds I desired Not only did I get my seeds within two days but I also got 5 x Gelato seeds by Cannabist and also 3 x Wedding Cake seeds by @1000Hills Nursery! Funnily I was actually looking at the Wedding Cake strain before ordering so I'm pretty stoked about that. I consider vendors as trusted once they are affiliated with 420sa so with the debacle last year I was pretty upset that a vendor was bringing bad vibes to the forum, but I am happy to say Cannabist has come back strong and anyone that is doubtful should give them the same kind of second chance you see right here.
