Prom

They are happy flowering... you have to give em a "bit" more time I know, waiting is freakin annoying Rest, looking sexy.. put em in the most sunny spot you have

Is very nice.. I was on green crack 4 years ago can't go anywhere wrong, if you look for a sativa kick

Na, I stopped doing anything beside LST. We did a few tests with all different techniques.. the ones we left alone, won in yield. Friend holds our grow record, done nothing at all beside feeding, pulled 201g from one amnesia haze auto. I stand at 136g from my biggest auto so far. Bit behind ^^ but I hover around 2-2.5g per watt. Also had a quick read.. I still have the smoke result to type The weed.. the left overs ^^ .. now curing since August. The smoke is very smooth and the taste hard to describe. Nothing extreme, nothing boring, you enjoy every puff of it. The over all effect is more on the giggly side and the first part is more on the energizer side.. like a sativa should be. If you finish the joint and tell yourself, wow, that was a nice puff, I could go with another one. The next you might experience is lifting your head from the bed, check the clock and say UPSSS... you lost some hours. Was no late harvest, bit before, so the weed can kick you rather hard. I will get me some more seeds.. could very easy happen, that I want to stock up, once my last Jar is empty. A very giggly weed. To the strain.. light canape variation, rest, I couldn't really taste a huge difference between plants. They ended a bit all the same, what is nice.. you always get what you plant. So I give it a Thumps Up If you look for a Sativa kick with the possibility to change it in a insomnia cure, the Royal Gorilla from Royal Queen Seeds is for you I know.. I just woke up

I think I get a better overview with the F2. I finish my seeds and pollen run with the ruderalis and start the Swazi as soon as I have a little more space, have those Charlottes Web's CBD still in the 12/12 tent. And they are not even 12/12 yet hehehe My Gelatos and Pinis Autos go out in about 3 weeks, then I put all the Swazi Gold seeds, I got from @Stinger96, in the main tent to get a decent selection. I post pics, when there is a reason to post some ^^ Ruderalis coming sexy so far

If your beans don't pop after 48 hours... they are not the freshest seeds. Also check how you store your own seeds. Vacuum container, fridge.. you can also freeze them gentle. Seeds from a seed bank run a bit with a "protection", at least the good ones do it. I buy 10 and have 1-2 duds.. I accept it in general. But if I have more fails.. I usually let them know and the only response you should get is: we send the replacement seeds to the same address? If you buy seeds, don't feel shy to tell them, if the seeds are not doing as they should. I had a bad batch once from Nirvana (marijuanaseeds.co.za) and they replaced me the full amount seeds I bought and send to me the same day I wrote the complain. The time you lost will always be the annoying part.

Yup, watched a few stuff from him. He is more on the funny side, so not really boring and gives good advice. I have a non effort grow in the grow diaries.. Autos are really that easy

The burping is a release of excessive moisture. If you use bags, you do not have to burb.. the bag absorbs the moisture, opening disturbs it more. I prefer to be more on the dry side before I jar and put a bag. And when a bag risks to get dry, it goes in a separate vac jar with a cotton ball of water to refill again. That way your bags last till they end in a contaminated jar.. and go dumpster (shouldn't happen to often ^^).

The Fastbuds (Gelato/Pineapple Express) i run right now, started to flower end week 3 ^^ love it doesn't mean they really stopped growing either.

The tent gets the climate from the room.. put the dehumidifier in the room.. not the tent. And cook your climate outside.. you have way more space.. your tent is for growing ^^

I "Mendel"ed the last time in Gymnasium. But genetics were my chosen special.. so lets quickly see if I have to read up. The Photo gene is dominant and the Auto gene is recessive. That is my main assumption. The Photo can be PP / Pp / pP The auto must be pp The unknown figure is the F1 Photo mother, as it can have 3 possibilities. If the mother is PP, it will add one generation to the procedure, if she is Pp or pP, I would get a 100% auto with F3 generation. Photo mother is PP The result (F2) of the crossing with the Auto would always result in a Pp or pP combination. And both would have Photo grow habits. Easy to figure out with 24/0 light. Those F2 would need another crossing with Ruderalis and the result would be three options. Pp, pP and pp in the F3. Separation with 24/0 and crossing the most Sativa looking male and female from the F3 would result in pp only.. and lottery tells, if I selected crap or got somewhere. If the mother is already Pp/pP (not sure how valid that option is) I get a pure auto with F3. Or do I make a critical mistake somewhere?

@Dank I am not really in a rush and never made a auto.. I did some breeding years ago with Jack Herer and Pineapple Express. My goal is rather simple.. first, make a auto ^^ second, make the auto look as much as the original photo. The first batch f3 should be pure.. then I check if I like, if yes, I hand out some seeds to the board members.. beginner to gurus.. and with that feedback I decide, if I try harder or go to the Malawi. Swazi isn't a top terp weed, one of the reasons to start with it i would rate it as easier to get something similar. Right now just curious ^^ and bored My infant heart still hopes the government gets all legalized and I can open a coffee shop Then I would go a bit more bonkus rent storage facility, order a Moat ^^ and run 40 strains at the same time, employee 20 people not sure that is enough. I enjoy my legal growing very much Right now.. I test and try all the strains I ignored, and so much new coming out each year. When I have a better overview of what is going on out there, I am rather sure, I will go back to photos and pheno hunt my top 5. My seed order still in JoBurg. Went checking with Post Office.. Naa, backlog, sorry! As long not confiscated, all good first 11 strains to test. Never had Strawberry Pie, or Lemon Pie, or Orange Sherbet,... very long list.. I might be missing out hehehe so I first wanna get a better overview, then breed a bit more serious. Might come back to your Blueberry ^^ I enjoyed those very much, was also a first.

I got me a Mastergrow 1.2x1.2x2 ... mhhhh i hate the zippers... i really really do. So from my part a very big Would keep my hands off those tents.. rest is usual, nothing special.. so have only one bad thing to say.. and the zipper you use quite often. Not very easy to open and close.. best example for cheap shit

Is a bit of a repetition ^^ but light is for most the most confusing part. @Bakstein420 the Samsung diodes are just one, there are more producing LED diodes. For Samsung, stick to the LM301B or H diodes. The more important selection are the frequency ranges and board setups you can choose. They offer usually a range from 2500k to 6000k, pure white or combined with infra red or ultra violet diodes. I personal only go for 3000k 660nm, so included infra red.. but I avoid any UV on the board. That's to the DIY.. you pay a bit for your light from the shop as they (should) come with the hanging instructions. Distance for germ, veg and flower.. those are very important figures. To much light is especially bad during germ and most people do the mistake in this step. @Johnny You do it right.. ask and inform yourself as good as you can. Those lights cost.. but then again, Eskom will over take the cost of the light within a year. Look that you run the light in regards to your grow space. Going over 450 watt on a 1.2mx1.2m area is wasting energy, in my opinion. So what ever you buy, check that the lamp comes with instructions how to hang it for the three stages. It will reflect in your grow success.. Wish you the best of luck and may the weed be with you ^^ Read up here.. gives you an idea what shape of light you want:

Fabric and air pots have a reason to be there. I think the advantage of the airpot is the increased surface area they generate.. and bring more air to the roots. As they are stable to lift, I would consider them, if they wouldn't be round ^^ I like my square pots Perfect to place together in early stages and easy to lift around. Fabric pots are good and if you use them, they should provide some advantages too in regards to airing your roots way better. But they come with disadvantages too. Carry them around needs always 2 hands, my plastic pots I can handle with one hand. The more annoying issue is the top feeding. The liquid likes to run off over the outside of the pot and leaves the inside dry. I think you can only water fabric pots the right way over tray feeding, it needs to soak in.

Yes, sorting for the final step to get pure Autos I do in 24/0. As I use pure Ruderalis, I actually hope I can preserve the Plant structure.. but will always be a hybrid at the end.. I hope a very very sativa heavy one, rest is a fail ^^ I do the Malawi after this one.. ^^ still looking for Kilimanjaro Seeds.. they are not that easy to pick up hehehe

I wanna select a ruderalis female and male for more ruderalis seeds. Used all I had for the selection now. And I want to introduce a female Swazi to the ruderalis male pollen I selected and check how they end in the next round Is a bit all related to keeping me busy. If I get a nice result.. I will drop some seeds for you guys to test and comment.

Check under side of the leaves.. and use a microscope. If there are no creepy crawlies.. Calcium low, would be my next guess

^^ Is also my way to check em fast. Macro pic with my Nikon and zoom in on the computer and check in peace with a smoke for the good things to come

I made my readings with a Phone and a Tablet.. both gave the same readings. And I used the same items for any measurements. Over 500 micromol the lux reading wasn't the same depending on light configuration. The bar lamp showed very low figures beside the Quantum Flux Sensor, showing the 1000mmol. The bar distributes it the most even.. can't tell you why, was scratching my head a bit but I did the readings on different spots. Center and outside areas.. up to 500mmol worked like a charm.. already giggled that I do not need the Quantum Flux meter anymore.. but the high ones.. didn't really work. Best would still be to have somebody over with a Quantum Flux meter and tell you quickly your hanging sweets spots.. at the end it doesn't has to be 100% correct. The main issue most did wrong is the hanging distance for germination. That should work with the Lux meter.. 250mmol gave on all lamp configurations a reading around the 20k Lux mark. Would start from there ^^

Yes, correct. The main air entry is the 150mm duct (comes from another tent.. saving fans ^^), exit is a 6 inch inliner top of the tent and actually 2 oscillating fans top down for each side. The fans are not in yet.. ^^ still waiting for them to get delivered. Have the Photos with the Autos at the moment on 20/4, still germination phase. Put them on 18/6 once they go into the ready tent... I am rather sure Takealot will manage today to deliver hehehe. The 40cm oscillating fans are more for the plants but will cool the lights automatically by doing their thing ^^ I like my tents more on the windy side

Is not a bad spot to put them.. inside a vacuum sealed container.. can also freeze them

I stick a bit in here with the 8 plant limit.. not sure if Ruderalis actually count ^^ I make me some more seeds and pollen as I started my Swazi Gold Auto Project. I will make a diary of that.. got a bit shifted as I need the 12/12 tent for the upcoming CBDs for a friend with nasty epilepsy. She wants to check if the CW's help her and she can get off her medication. What else I have in my stable are 2 FastBuds strains.. Gelato and Pineapple Express. The Pineapple seems to be on a rush and I am doing something right with those ones. Gelato is strangely smaller this grow. Both are Week 5 Day 1. Gelato Pineapple Express Ruderalis and the CW's are just out of the ground.

Sorry.. just wanted to post a reminder.. your 12 week outdoor Autoflowers wanna hit the glass NOW!!! So No.. you are not to late
