nice nice nice, congrats on the harvest can we expect some bud porn? what products you using for your clean up?

Welcome! Getting started is exciting times man, I am still new to this myself and we learning here on the forum every single day, loads of valuable information and crazy ideas, tips and tricks for us youngins from some seasoned local growers! You working with anything yet, or at what stage of building your setup are you? We love to see pictures! Enjoy your stay!

I was at natures pharmacy when cops came in, both had to "join the club" to enter the smoking area, so give all their details and pay the fee, then the one dude looked at a couple jars of weed, they looked aroud the area and left. few weeks pass and I am there again and the dude running the branch told me they all got arrested and spent a couple hours in a cell with real criminals, then was let go later the same day and they got a fuck ton of weed back that was confiscated and is now sueing the police dudes for wrongfull arrests. this was all in the paarl post newspaper.

A classic old saying comes to mind when I read all this, "Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same thing. And that's why life is hard." I am sure a lot of you have heard about this Natures Pharmacy place operating under the One Culture club thing and there are other cannabis related social clubs and quite some movement in the "treating cannabis as if it is already legal" department. Here is my question, you guys see this as courage our stupidity? You guys think these people are hindering the movement or are they helping it? When looking at all the big names in usa such as Mendo Dope and Jungle Boys they all share a similar backstory, and that is that they all had to break the law quite a couple times and face long court hours to get to where they are. Today those guys are heros in the industry. Not saying we should look at how they run things over there in Murica, I would never say that, but we can "cherry-pick" what we wana learn from.

Took the banana out the tent for a closer look, the whole plant flopping over, cut into a bud to get these photos she'll be coming down tonight. she's already heavy indica so early flower for her at almost no amber trichomes at all mostly cloudy with a few clear ones here and there. rest of the plants got few weeks to go still

hahahah well my first order as president, LEGALIZE IT!!!!! yeah that guy got a point there, but I wouldn't say their country doesn't have any problems either or to look at how they doing shit. africa has a unique situation, and when I say unique I picture this.... perfect representation of our current situation. it's like the meeting you described there, it's a f*ing joke how some of these "leaders" act.... There is a video on the internet somewhere of a big fat black man with heavy African accent standing in the streets of a European country screaming "Look at this! Look at this!" and he is pointing at the public transport, the buildings and how clean the place is and shit and the beautiful cities that are centuries old. Then he goes on to explain and ask how it is that some people have to leave the continent their on to go to other continents to go and get resources that we have on our continent in abundace, and if you're on different continents they have everything we should have infact we do have those things, but it's all on other continents, and it has been for f*ing yeeeeeaaars hahahah it's actually a funny video. It just leaves a person speechless! I am hearing and seeing quite a lot happening for cannabis here on the Southern tip and it's very exciting being able to witness all this happening right infront of me. Started smoking weed when people where still made out to be a criminal and now we're already here. Definitly moving in the right direction!

no flowers on her yet? pyrol those fuckers!

awee @Weskush these are without a doubt very exceptional little plants! where I used to live in Hermanus I was across the road from the lagoon, we would find millions of these growing along the lagoon beds and river beds when we go walking in the mountains. I think they're just a little sensetive under nursing conditions and if they don't get insects to eat they won't make it anyway, this is why I think people don't use them as pest management. a lot of people grow them in their homes for that reason, but before they can catch 2 flies they usually die. I think growing conditions for these guys and cannabis differ a little too much, these guys don't like intense or any dorect light or wind, they generally grow as "undergrowth" below or within other plants and basically in the shade most of it's life in very very high humidity, you know like areas a lot of insects would naturally be. I have probably had every single carnivorous plant there is out there, now my brother in law is collecting them. I'll show you his collection. at Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens you can see probably the most impressive carnivorous plant display you're ever seen with pitcher plants you can stick your whole arm in! those little droplets that look like trichomes are actual droplets that will stick to your hand when you touch it. this is a "nectar-like" substance that releases a pheromone that attracts the insects and once they get close they can't escape the stickyness and then they curl and fold around the insect. If the plant touches anything or those droplets dry out or somehow rub off the plant also kinda dies because it spends ALL its enery on creating those droplets and they need to replace that by catching a insect. to make it practical to grow these for pest management you would have to grow quite a bunch of them.

I have a th16 and I can view my logs very simple, I click on the icon that gives a list of options and the logs are right there

only a pleasure man, excited to see what you bring

Personally, if I was in any of the investors positions, I wouldn't wana touch Zimbabwe with a 100m stick. Sad to say, but that's just how it is and how it has been, I am not being fooled by empty promises of "this time will be different", they can sing that song to their mothers, but I am with the ex Zim farmers. Only an ass will bump its head twice in the same spot. Looking at how America runs things really isn't going to save them or anyone for that matter and it should be clear as day for all of us. It will bring profits to a certain extent and only to a certain select few, but the last thing it will do is benefit the natives and their country. It really is no ones fault but their own, managent and leadership really is a problem in our part of the world and those central african countries really have a long ways to go before they can start acting like America. I would say start with focussing on population control, then education management which will also help in the health management department, then adequate housing, then overall health care and management and environmental management with proper running water systems, cut ties with major companies sucking the resources out the country for a few packets of peanuts to feed the whole country, start using their own resources to work their lands and start actually getting food to the population, start proper farming and proper living and stop thinking living in shacks and clay houses and dying of hunger and disease is cultural enrichment... making money from growing weed isn't going to satisfy all these needs. it's just gona be another "taking candy from a baby" situation. can smell it from miles away. The whole world knows by now doing business with any African country is not a good choice to make, because of our management problem. For years and years other countries have been sending African countries money, food, water, clothes, medicine, housing, schooling all just because people are too nice and there will always be a bunch of people out to help those in need, yet still there are abandoned children laying in the dirt dying of hunger and the people from these countries are too proud and culturally enriched to change and be like the rest of the world. I hope Zim leaders wake up and realise the more they wana be like America and having to turn to other countries for help the more they will get sucked dry. They have every resource they need to make a thriving country, except leadership, but they can fix that.

Hi there @Autoflow3r Your product sounds pretty interesting! Have you any experience working with any Sonoff gadgets? It seems very similar to what you are planning to make.

your girls turning into ladies and wanting to expose themselves a phase all women go through

Goodmorning, Sir! Looking goooood I think it's not likely for only one part of one leaf to turn purple when cold is the only factor, so I think it's a bit of both here, looks like either deficiency or a ph problem not allowing uptake of a certain nute, the leaf is showing it and now because the leaf is compromised it's more susceptible to environmental factors such as the cold. just keep an eye on her, no stress yet, could be that the rest of the plant still turns purple, then it's the cold, but if growth slows down and odd discolouration continues you might wana ask yourself where it could've been that you either gave too much or too little of something.

This sounds very interesting, I am in Paarl quite often, what place is this?

those plants are looking goood man!

Day 70 I removed the net, the banana is coming down soon, starting to check trichomes now, atleast another 2 to 3 weeks for the rest. Banana Hammock Super Lemon OG Zkittle 1 Zkittle 2 Zkittle 3

it is not just you man!

awesome man!! sounds like you operating in a small slice of heaven, as they say hahah really exciting to see what you guys working with, you gona share some photos with us? well, I am sure I speak on behalf of the whole family when I say you are most welcome here, make yourself at home and ask and share as much as you can!

Welcome!! excited to see what you working with, show us some photos!

There has been a struggle for ages, gouvernment hurting small farmers, because they can't profit off their backs. With all the mountain growers up there in central africa, who has passed down cannabis farming through generations, I wonder how this will impact their livelyhood? I feel the curve of "americanization" also implies treating everything as if it's a product, and I don't feel this is a good thing in every situation.

well you definitely turned up the beet with this one brother holy fuuug those are some beautiful perky ladies!

Welcome All sounds interesting, we all love a good permaculture situation man! 100% agree with the statement about decent soil, have to have life in the soil to have life above the soil, and not only for homo sapiens! and it all starts with microbial activity, mycelium, fungi you guys caring for some fauna too or just flora and fungi?

oh yes, like they say "out of sight, out of mind" happens with root health aswell. removing those white pebbles, less watering, allowing oxygen to the roots. all major factors.

this is what I'm talking about !!!
