  1. If you are looking for that special bean... you might have to look outside. Otherwise ordering local removes the customs. They will confiscate your order, if found. First time ordering seeds, i would recommend a short look over the local seed banks, i am sure you find something tasty and you get it delivered on time. Early birds are preparing already... outdoor season is open. You dont want to depend on Post Office to get your seeds on time
  2. i prefer the 40cm from takealot... and they have free delivery 200something, cant remember exactly I shop a lot at takealot.... Check this out on takealot: Goldair - 40cm Oscillating Desk Fan - White https://www.takealot.com/goldair-40cm-oscillating-desk-fan-white/PLID17260415 is 299 now, i still got my 2 for 259 each.. prices go up and up
  3. If you run into issues on dark times, you do not vent enough your tent.. and the temp drop releases moisture. Your tent gets the climat from your room... handle your room so your tent is fine. Look that the air inside the tent is exchanged 5 to 6 times a minute.. still needs fans inside the tent to blow the plants directly. You can easy place the dehumidifier in your room, will reduce humidity inside your tent.. but i think you just need more venting of your tent.

    Importing seeds

    help me quick In the draft it states that you can have unlimited seeds. But you cant buy them. So if the seed bank declares your shipment as free samples... customs cant stop them. I understand that right?
  5. Just for the fun of it ^^ #1 "Lighthouse" (Royal Gorilla Automatic) #2 "Ladies abused by Eskom" I agree that the picture wasn't hard to take.. getting those 8 Blue Cheese Autos to this point, a real effort grow Not there yet 1,2 weeks to go
  6. I like the finance Ministers point of view ^^ I think I get me 2-3 T-Shirts done to express my point of view ^^ Front: Legalize it! Back: More Tax we urgently need As money greedy the ANC is.. is our best chance to turn Corvid19 into our full advantage. Get heard and sees guys.... This country needs money.. legalizing Cannabis would give a huge boost to Tax and Jobs.
  7. Malawi is next... still couldnt get my hands on kilimanjaro seeds... but no rush hehehe busy enough. Why i actually breed them is a different story. I need trade material some stuff you just cant buy
  8. If "they" you mean mother nature the plant type developped in the short day light nordic zones. Is the reason ruderalis is not photo sensitive. Follows a timer to accomodate the short summers they experience. More cold resistant... i dont know. I lost batches to cold in the same batches i had photos in... below 12, they all seem to show you the finger I do some ruderalis next, need more regular seeds and will do the first crossing with swazi gold, want a auto form but can put a few ruderalis seeds outside to see how they do now still rather cold.
  9. Use rain water and no need to ph that. You can also skip the activera, that is enzyme for coco to my knowing. The haze will love the pot... and grow easy into a 3 meter tree, if you dont do anything. But you seem to have a plan and look rather prepared. Will end well... Just keep your eyes open for pests and PM. Good air flow is key in a good greenhouse. Rather sure you will end with a good result.. man has a mission
  10. Hi, hope you have a good time here. 6x3.. nice space popping seeds... dump them for 12 hours in a glass with clean water. Put it in the dark and keep it between 20 and 25 C. After 12 hours seeds start to drown too. Then you have three common options. A. Put the seeds directly in soil. For photos, use about 3 pot sizes, repot, when the leaves reach the outside of the pot. B. Plate them. Wet 4 kitchen papers, use 2 per side. Put the moist paper on the plate, seeds, 2 to 3 cm apart next each othrr and cover with the other 2 moist kitchen papers. Second plate on top, flying saucer style. Put it dark and same temp as the glass. When tap roots are 2 cm out use tweazers to transplant... not your fingers. C. Bit like B, you fould the seeds in a moist kitchen towel and put it in a zip lock bag... same handling like plates after that. Your 90 pots are sexy.. but will become a monstrous tree... you have to mainline those or your 220 are not even close to harbour those plants i would go with 40 liters and give them a topping after 4 weeks. Best cage the plants to add stability for the branches... will have huuuuge buds clean the lover 4 to 6 nodes and remove leaves. You can go October, if you look that your youngsters stay warm. Start Nov you are rather save. Perfect time to start slow autos too Biobizz. If you use bio heaven, just follow the feeding table, all you need included. If you work without bio heaven, feed them some epsom salt once a month. Hope that helped
  11. CalMag is a double bladed substance. It should more run as NITRATECalMag. It packs a very heavy N punch, adjust your feeding accordingly. I would only use CalMag for Calcium issues as emergency remedy.. use Epsom for Magnesium hassle, way saver to use.
  12. I played with co2 generators. Gas, yeast and dry ice... my final result was rather simple. If you do not have a closed environment, where you cook your climate and have all sorted from air intake humidity and temp control plus gas sensors for venting, you just waste money over all. I think i had to vent way to much due to moisture. In a dry environment, makes more sense... in any case you have to run a big ass AC. I PAR my light and got bigger plants... before you invest into a co2 generator.. get a quantum flux meter. There you get bigger plants for sure.
  13. Fish mix during veg. Pre you bring Grow in.. but best is to swap grow and fish with each feeding further on. If you get yellow tips, stick to grow. Grow is 75% Fish Mix and 25% molasses.
  14. Good Morning ^^ late answer.. Thursday we play poker and smoke a lot You can skip the nutes with soil as a beginner. Why stress yourself.. just learn the plant, works without fertilizer. Starting to grow as a beginner.. get a quality bean (at least you will enjoy the smoke you produce), a bag of quality soil.. or 2, depending on pot size and just water it. Will still grow to a 2 meter tree in a good pot size. Can't grow easier than that..
  15. You have to write, proper cannabis soil. The 25 rand bags from the nursery will not do the trick. Rest, i think soil is more foregiving and buffers best for a beginner. With good soil and a big ass pot, you can skip the fertilizer and get a result just adding water. Start in soil outdoor.. is my beginner tip As soon as you go indoor, is a different game anyhow. Fuck ups not just cost seeds and in what medium to grow is a bit a Aini Meni Muh selection. I started hydro, no ppm pens at the time, ph we used stripes. Pure chemical fertilizer, 3 part NPK. Worked and hydro grows fastest. Dont think anybody argues with that. I never did coco... but when you do hydro, there is no reason to go coco, at least not in my books. I always grew soil outdoor and enjoyed the ph free hassle. Now i even grow soil indoor. I made a sexy 4/4/4 biobizz mix in Jan and took my pen out just for fun... 12.something reading ph. I had to chuckle, pured it into the pot and went on as usual. Easiest over all is soil with rain water... kinda hard to mess up
  16. Dont know anything you are using.. but the weak build.. plant looks starved or wrong ph. 150 watts more then enough, the 8 gorillas got around 180. As said, dont know any product you use... just guessing. If it wouldnt say... cannabis soil... i would say bad soil...
  17. drying is removing all easy accessible leaves, cut the plant and hang her upside down in a room with about 55% humidity... and wait till the small branches crack on bend. The longer it needs to dry.. the better... with higher risks of mold. Is always a down side if it is dry before 5 days passed, you get a hay smell and taste. Post a pic with those dead leaves removed, might look a lot friendlier
  18. Remove all the dry and yellow leaves asap. Has some color on those leaves? How cold did she got?
  19. You have those damages all around your plants? For veg you are very much on the dry side. Put a saucer full of water in the tent and point a fan on it. 15% more humidity would be better. For flower 42% are sexy. 4 fans inside the tent... air movement is good! How big is the tent and what ventilation you use for the tent?
  20. I did put my outdoor germination stage and early veg plants on the roof. my ridgeback looooves weed. I dont mind when he eats the lower leaves once tall plants. But on the youngsters... is not even one bite and gone The fun story is how he got into weed was about 6 years ago, he was a bit over 1 year old. Had access to some really great pineapple express. I got me 20g and smoked about 1 joint a day... at least that was the idea. I left the bag outside on the table, went shopping. Friend was living in the granny flat at the time, when he came home, short after i left, he found to his surprise weed buds laying all around the pool area. Picked up what he found and put it on my table. When i came home, he intercepted me right away. Not that you think i took your stash, bru, found it like that by the pool. Jack, my dog, was hiding below the table.. they aways know when they caused kack below the table was also the ripped bag... and some more buds. We had a good giggle... took the scale out... with what i smoked, we looked very very good if we find mord buds... he ate about 9g. Hour later i found him stretched in the sun. No reaction what so ever. After 6 hours he made it to the kitchen, stayed there on the carpet for another 4 hours and started to move again. if you now think that he would avoid eating buds... nope... if i offer him one, he eats it. But he also never ever took a bag off the table anymore
  21. Start fertilizing depending what the producer of the product tells you. They usually stay very much on the safe side. Always observe your plants, they tell you, if something isnt right. Not all strains react same to nutrition concentration. In general the breeders write a note to the strain, if it likes a lot or you better be careful. Always start slow, the plants grow exponentially fast. Depending to that you increase fertilizer amount and as they drink more and more, they consume more over time. With autos you have to watch when they go Pre, so you can change what you feed. Photos you swap the light duration and change the nutes feed, bit easier. Putting your plants outside to get more light, works. Every time i stick the quantum flux meter into the sun, last was around 1400 two weeks ago... i measure around 2200 mmol on a blue sky.. hehehe cant beat the sun. But comes with one issue... not all strains like to get moved. Most you can easy move once, twice during the flower cycle. But some really do not like to get moved daily. If you see that your plants dont really grow faster outside... or even stop. Leave them stationary... if they grow very nice.. your work will get rewarded.
  22. Numbers always nice to have. Total flower material 397g, close shave dressed buds 302g... full jar for the press on dressing material Veg light 180 watt, Flower 269 watt Mars 144 Fan 80 watts... i count the 6 inch inliner.. those plants got a lot of air Light distance measured 250 mmol for germination, 500 veg, 1000 flower Plant was set as 8 to 10 weeks. I harvested end week 11 3 and end 12 the rest. Not 50/50 yet Test smoke was smooth and already tasty.. the usual fresh weed aftertaste. Soil: FF green bag 50% : 50% home made compost / Fertilizers: BioBizz (Root Juice, Fish Mix, Grow, Bloom, TopMax) Feeding table Week 1 ( starting timer when seeds hit the water inside the glass) 4ml root juice per liter Week 2 2ml Fish Mix per liter Week 3 3ml Fish Mix per liter Week 4 3ml Fish Mix or Grow in rotation, 2ml Bloom per liter Week 5 3ml Fish Mix or Grow, 3ml Bloom per liter Week 6 had yellow tips starting, reduced to 3ml grow, 2ml bloom per liter for one feed, next feed 4ml grow, 3ml bloom, 1ml TopMax (fish is heavy on N, reduced that) Week 7 4ml fish mix or grow(still rotating both), 4ml bloom, 2ml TopMax Week 8 4ml fish or grow, 4ml bloom, 3ml top max Week 9 4ml fish or grow, 4ml bloom, 4ml topmax (i stick to 4/4/4 til flush usually) Week 10 4ml fish or grow in rotation, 4ml bloom, 4ml topmax Week 11 4/4/4.. sorry lazy (the three small ones went water, and end week 11 dark, left the tent) Week 12 flush, pure water as demanded for 5 days, then dark for 2, cut, trimm leaves, hang to dry. Please do not use this feeding table as a beginner!!! As the plants were set by the breeder to 8 to 10 weeks, they could be ready in 8 weeks. I used my 8 week feeding table... it really takes no prisoner and at one stage i usually have to adapt to not run into trouble. But i am a bit old school, my brain works after the simple logic, the more i stuff into a turkey, the fatter it gets... those Gorillas handled the nuts rather well. The plants get to big for SOG (to much time waste growing), even they form a even canape.. to much waste of the lower plant. Autos dont form bud, if there is no light on the bud. So from the 100cm tall plant, 25cm are a bit of a waste to grow. Solution, more light, less cramped space. Should harvest better. With the 8 plants i didnt even reach 50g average. I expected 75cm plants.. my bad, one reached 120. Rest about same, the mentioned 100cm. First time is always a bit guessing, how big they get. And when the breeder say... 120 to 150 tall... i reached 75cm and still loved my harvest. Not as good as those guys but who cares if you love the result of the smoke. The measured light is a huge difference... i get 30 to 40% taller plants with the right mmol amount for each stage, have to get used to it. What would i change 6 plants in a 1.2x0.6 next time, to get 2 fans in, even 4 might do. Lower part should get more light and compensate quite a bit. Would LST the branches and cut the lowest 2 double nodes. I see those Royal Gorillas give 100g a plant. As you saw on the leaf structure, very very sativa heavy auto. So for not doing much, acceptable result. Nothing great, nothing bad. The weed, i think i will enjoy very much. I put a smoke test in a few weeks to finish this report. I add something about the weed. Royal Gorilla Automatic by Royal Queen Seeds It is a cross of Royal Gorilla and Royal Cookie... plus a cup winner. When i open a jar, you just know, that is some tasty s..t if you are into sativas, give it a go.
  23. The 1ml in fish mix and grow is confusing... the bio heaven they love to use a lot. Costs double of the top max. I started with biobizz when they had no table for FF soil and used the light mix table with FF soil. I have to check this FF table. Looks wierd to me. I use 400% of those recommendations on fish and grow. The amount of bio heaven, will cost the same as the others, fish, grow, bloom and topmax combined. Wierd table, bit confused right now and i never ever used bio heaven before...
  24. If you look for CBD plants. Try a Harlekin for pain specific or a Yumbold for insomnia. Both late harvests.
  25. Autos, 10 liter is fine. Smaller plants, less space hungry
