Helmet heads are not an issue, usually the plant pushes the seed shell off of itself as it starts growing. The second issue sounds a bit more serious and sounds like damping off disease, which is very common with seedlings and overwatering. There is no cure for that and the plant will die. However, I would need to see pics of it to make sure though...

Thank you kind Sir!

Thanks for this. Do you know what the microbe product from Jamie's Garden is called?

Hi guys, I am about to transplant an outdoor plant into Jamie's Orgasoilux and I will update this thread with my findings and whether I experienced the same issues that some of you have had. One question, when some of you mention that you just feed it "microbes", what product is that? Apologies, I come from a coco/perlite substrate with ghe synthetic nutes.

I've heard of this method of growing before but I fail to understand how it achieves a "25 - 35% increase in production" with 5 hours less light (and therefore photosynthesis) per day (in veg)???

I see, alright appreciate the input!

Nanners are a real thing with loadshedding my guy, I know... Do you guys prefer UPS or generators... Say for around 2500W, to keep lights and fans going while loadshedding happens (so for around 2,5 hours)?

For that space, 2 of those qb's would be optimal for flower, yeah.

Seen this company before... They have agents, and sub-agents working for them... To start off as an agent your initial cost is R150k and for a sub-agent it's R30k. And then you go for training, get set up and start selling their cannabis products for which you get a percentage commission in return. Don't know if they're registered through SAHPRA, but I doubt it. And its not like people love COR, I just don't think it's as well known as Canapax and therefore there's not as much hate towards it.

Upper 20's is the ideal temp for veg, so don't stress

@Chris Jay hahaha right on brother

@Chris Jay hey Chris... I agree with the having balls part... Especially when it was done in such a sloppy manner... It was found that he wasn't even registered with the Traditional Healers Association of SA, they have publicly stated this. On top of everything he's business was not even registered with the CIPC (where all new businesses must be registered and tax registered). And the part where it all makes Russell a bad person is he knew this. He knew a traditional healers license wouldn't fly... (Heck if you read the license it even stipulates cannabis does not fall under the traditional healers lisense.)... He knew what he was doing was totally illegal, and convinced eager franchisee's otherwise and took their money. The ONLY way to become legalised is through SAHPRA... And it's damn difficult. I know coz I'm applying to them in the coming months. Trying to make out the application form is hell on its own. You need to register the business, find a registered pharmacist to be apart of it, produce a 'Site Master File'. Make the building impenetrable from tanks, and set up the grow room to follow GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines, which basically means having a grow op similar to the legal Canadian grow facilities (for example) in terms of quality control including the production, packaging and transportation aspects. It's no joke but hey, where there's a will, there's a way... My point is through what I've read on forums of guys visiting Cannapax's Russell couldn't pass a quality control assessment even if it... Happy New Year all!!

In jail. Bail was denied. Next court date in Feb.

No high for dagga shop owner 6th Dec 2019 The owner of a dagga shop in Brits, who was arrested on 9 November for dealing in dagga and contravening the Medicine and Related Substances Act, was denied bail in the Brits Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 29 November. Russell de Beer (48), the owner of Canapax in Van Velden Street in Brits was arrested by the Hawks in his shop and 500 kg of dagga, as well as equipment for processing dagga were seized. During his bail application, the court heard that De Beer, who claimed to be operating under the Traditional Health Practitioners Act, intends to plead not guilty and that he denies dealing in dagga. In his statement, read by his legal representative, he said he could pay R5 000 bail. His bail hearing was postponed the previous week as a result of queries around the residential address he supplied to the Hawks during his arrest. The Hawks opposed the bail application and Captain Tumi Sothoane, the investigating officer testified that De Beer gave them the business address, saying that he also resided there. “However, when I went to the shop to try and verify that he does in fact live there, I only found a single bed without any bedding and no personal belongings. One would expect items like a toothbrush or something but there was indication that someone lives there,” he told the court. He also testified that he questioned a gardener on the property during his visit and was told that De Beer comes to the shop in the morning and leaves again at the end of the business day. Sothoane told the court that the Hawks started investigating De Beer in March 2019 after they received complaints about Canapax shops all over the country. “This led us to the shop in Brits where the head office was situated. During the investigation it was established that the accused, the owner of the franchise, was offering franchises to other people to sell dagga and dagga products.” In June the Hawks applied and was granted permission for entrapment. “We visited the shop and bought dagga for R300. On 9 November we executed a search warrant and confiscated dagga with a street value of R3 million, and dagga products to the value of R200 000 at the Canapax shop in Brits.” Sothoane testified that the Hawks have in the meantime also established that Canapax was not registered as a legitimate business in South Africa and that De Beer was also not a member of the Traditional Healers Association. The Hawks are also waiting for feedback from SARS. “The Hawks have a problem with De Beer being granted bail as a residential address has not been confirmed. If he evades trial, it will be difficult to find him.” The court heard that there were also questions around De Beer’s passport and “presumptions can be made that he might have exited and entered the country illegally in the past.” Magistrate Regan Rosenberg said that the court is not convinced that De Beer is not a flight risk and denied bail . The case was postponed to 24 February 2020 for investigation. Sothoane said that the Hawks are currently “running all over the country to close Canapax shops”. De Beer allegedly sold about 70 franchises at R25 000 each all over the country. This was publicised yesterday. Link: https://kormorant.co.za/no-high-for-dagga-shop-owner/
