sorry this was dumb to ask, obviously it doesn't.

I see, I have also noticed that stress can push them to show preflowers. a batch of clones all from the same plant, 2 started stressing pushed pistils during 18.6. some guys wait about a month, then just switch to 12.12 just to get the sex and then take things from there. so ultimately, you are stabilising, but still have to complete a few runs? according to your way of look and feel would you concider them stable at F4 because of the line you're working with or does this stay the same across the board? and do you first do a run to see how many different traits pop up or how would you determine pheno stability?

I have seen my plants show sex on 18.6 before but haven't noticed it that early, might just have to train my eye a bit I understand you say the F2 is where the real hunt begin, but coming from the F1 that is already stable to an extent would they not already be a bit more stable? Are the F2s being bred to isolate traits of the current Tortonis or because you're looking for different traits? I see I see, I guess part of the growers responsibility is also plant health and obviously, or more like hopefully every true breeder will only care to work with healthy plants that are not making their days harder. before I got on the forum and really started growing I remember hearing a lot about this Chocolope strain, everyone was growing it and this was about 2-3 years back. so I know you been working with it for a while. then I joined the forum when, lo and behold, the mastermind behind it all. I feel honored!

did they start sexing after a month on 18/6 then or do you only start counting now? another question I have on this topic is, when pheno hunting to stabilise a genetic when does one bring in stressing factors to see how well who does and fights for itself against pests and diseases? do you use a refractometer or just go by looks and your personal feel?

nice! bud, tell me, are you gona dry those buds? they should not go into jars right away.

forgot to mention your main reason, it blacks it out

Link to the thread, you can see all intake and outlets was simply covered with panty hoe.

buy some cheap one size fits all panty hoe and nice cable ties. block off both sides intake and out. this will make it sit nice and snug aswell as catch most of the dust moving through, did something similar a while back. still got her, but shes retired now. will look for the thread I posted about it

I think most of the people I know of that side that might be able to provide a clone is the guys here on the forum, hope someone can sort you out bro. pm and bud rot will only get worse over time, so if you leave her she possibly might die completely and if you harvest with mold on the plant and concider smoking it you might be doing more harm here than good.

would a 25L pot at 10-30ml / L not be more around 250 to 750ml? or did you only do 50ml because of the worm castings? I see I can get 10L for R175 at the hydroshop. perfect

don't mind at all brother, I actually need to know that too, although I believe sooner is better so you can get the soil back to life. I would imagine it's got a bunch of microbes and bacteria in it, as soon as you introduce the blend to the used soil you're giving it life again. I think of inoculating microbes aswell that'll assist in breaking down the elements and by the time you're planting you should have nutrients already available to your plant. I will also be making some sugar/starch teas to keep the microbes alive.

jamies is in cape town!? woah hahahah mind blown... don't know what I was thinking bout then!

I'm in cpt, jamie is up in jozi right? I've seen some elemental blends around the grow shops, thanks man! will give it a looksee.

an old thread here but probably will only be posting here every once in a while always got a random here and there, these two girls happen to be the two randoms, didn't even lable them so it's just some "weed" "Weed" #1 "Weed" #2 - got some real stink

I forget to post the photo lol nothing to see anyway

goodmorning family people was gifted these pots quite a while ago, 90L and a 60L. got another 40L but that one got a small Avo tree in it. right now the big one is filled with used FF premium classic. I am looking to reamend it now, have the winter rain down some love and I'll be flipping it weekly till October before planting in it for the upcoming outdoor season. I would like to hear from you seasoned growers with experience in outdoor potted organic growing, what I should be amending it with? just the same ingredients FF list, or something special? I have the means to brew teas aswell. Keeping in mind, to buy 90L ff premium classic fresh is gona be R540. so we need to keep it under that price. I have a few ingredients laying around, but lets assume I have nothing.

got a little update here small change made in flower room, just put 2 x 15cm air ducts in the top two socks as passive intakes and let them hang down to canopy level. with the budbox being more of a solid material and no pin holes and what not it creates much more of a negative pressure, so allowing two more relatively nice sized passive intakes will bring more fresh air in aswell as spare my tent a little hahah also defoliated the girls after the first sign of flowers. day 6 of 12.12 Temp/RH in room, as you can see low temp high RH also got the trusty old thermometer if I don't feel like trusting the digital reader, should also put another RH reader in a different spot in the room, but this also helps check if the digital one is still in range Flower conditions perky tits coming in top view front Veg conditions. lower RH cause tent is less full I guess? higher temp from the lights, LED in flower room I built gives off basically no heat. time is way out, old sensor and I definitly don't use it to check time more or less evened everyting out with paper clips and garden wire, getting ready to fill out the scrog I took a bunch of cuts from the Emerald Triangle Super Lemon OG, got 3 seeds, popped the first one during my move end of last year, had to keep it outside for literally a few hours, got eaten by something!!!!!! only had the first set of true leaves and was next to a bigger plant with about 4 nodes (we have a bunch of grasshoppers and all sorts of katydid insects around the winelands area that time of year) whatever it was, fuck that thing! this forced me to buy some Bulk Seed Bank seeds, luckily got a bunch for around the same price as the 3 Emerald Triangle seeds, so my current run in the flower room consists of 3x Zkittles from Bulk Seed Bank, 1x Super Lemon OG and then a Banana Hammock cut from a few runs back. I was quite excited for my Super Lemon run that went south, but didn't give up. 100% of the cuts I took rooted and I filled the veg tent with those except for another 1 banana lol, I wana keep that genetic around.

sadly I would have to agree with the okes, you'll be fighting a loosing battle with that bitch if you in CPT area I can hook you up with a clone for free. you got something brewing indoors? or outdoor growing only? if outdoors I will wait till Sept to give you the clone. now is no good for starting outdoors.

ah, well it's all up to you man, are you meticulous when it comes to feeding time or are you more the kinda guy that dumps everything in a bucket moer some water and wana get it all done in 5min? if you practice with care and feel like you'll be able to remember to give the calmag with clean water, or just compensating for it by going down to 25% of your current feed, then go with the cheaper one with the N. if you just wana get it done and feed everything together, get the + version.

What's a PM issue? ooof, now I see it too. PM - Powdery Mildew. caused by the presence of a fungus spore. you need fungicide. Pyrol 75% dose to treat infection. Bioneem 50% weekly to keep shit off. that seems to be a female in flower though, so this changes everything. what you can do now is wait till harvest and then bud wash. biggest female I seen in a while wow.

good point hahah

welcome! oh damn, was just about to ask if that isn't a male?

crazy bro, is this thing accurate? I've tried a few apps, got nothing

this is somewhat comforting to read hahah I maybe smoked two purple strains that was good enough to remember, the rest all seemed to tickle the same dislike. a few being ones I have grown I always thought maybe I am doing something wrong to give it that taste and why it's not that potent but looks like it'll knock you out. never really tested to see if the green parts where better, but I found most of the buds that got light turn purple and the ones that don't like the lower buds stay greener. and they don't count

yeah chek it out it's a wild book hahah though it really makes way more sense to me than a lot of the other books on religion out there... yeah, because of mushrooms ofcourse, I read quite a lot about the speculation of the time period from before the astroid that was said to have taken out the dinos and a few thousand years after during the earths recovery. So before the astroid was concidered the Mesozoic era, talling abou 100 million years ago. Plants and mushrooms grew to the size of buildings, smallest creatures on earth where bugs about the size of a car. Astroid his around 66 million years ago and started the Cenozoic era. During that time there was the highest ever recorded ever spike in deadly gasses in the earths atmosphere and because of the impact aerosols pushed up into the earths outer atmosphere blocked out the sun. Black as night, almost oxygen. Earth was headed to become just another dead planet like ball of gas, but some organism was able to make use of this environment, it breathed the little amount of oxygen that was left and replaced the air with carbon dioxide (what plants need) it stretched out through the earths surface decomposing everything in its way helping restore the earths surface of vital sugars, starches, trace minerals, metabolic acids and all the basic essentials so the few seeds here and there that and was left on the dying trees, had a nice fertile soil to drop onto making plant life a possibility again. mind you there's also speculations that the spores came from outer space, because knowing that they can survive in outer space is nothing new to the mycology community. just gets crazier and crazier!!! you probably know it, but for those who's asking what this organism was, it was MYCELIUM oh man, yeah I have eaten a whole bunch of em, never asking what they where and even if people told me I just ate them anyway hahah now the last few years growing them has been different. have only been eating the ones I grew and so far only grew GT, NSS, PE and APE. really got a strong connection with the GT though and it's a easy grower, I like the good old nothing fancy can easily eat a whole gram and still have a nice day kinda mushroom. every now and then fun to eat like 3 or 4, but once a year these days. once ate 12g GT, I am greatful for the wisdom it shat on me and thankfull that I never have to go through it again. thought I was being funny at the time. this was before hearing anything about crazy Terrance McKenna speaking on the topic of 5g being a "heroic dose"
