Nothing beats the importance of light. Your harvest raises and falls with its handling. You can have a perfect grow light and still harvest less then a dude using his DIY light perfect. Light stress, to little or to much, will reduce your harvest. Light is the most tricky and the most rewarding if mastered.

Intrnet search... you might have to look a bit to find somebody shipping to SA. That is the biggest issue.. 1 liter is about 25$ US. Shipping will be more expensive I get mine over my California PlanetExpress address

That's the shit you wanna get

PM, short word, we have serious PM in the Cape region. And you want to get your plants clean BEFORE you hang to dry. A budwash with bicarb of soda works but only if you had it on your leaves only... very difficult to get your buds clean clean with a wash. Working system to get them proper clean... Serenade Garden disease control. You have to import, but it leaves zero taste on your buds and cleans PM rather fast and well. For heavy infected plants, spray several times a day to a good run off and open your buds up soft by hand and wet the buds properly. I do those sprays during the 2 days dark. Havent lost a batch since i got my bottles I prefer my weed over dried then under dried. My Bovedas in general add moisture. And if i had a bag in a bad jar, the bag goes to the dumpster like the weed on the compost heap look that your storage jar are properly disinfected.

With drying you do not need a monster air flow. Just enough to regulate your humidity and temp inside the dry box. No direct fan needed at all, just the tent fan, low entry and top exit. There are many recommendations how long you should dry.. the longer the better. What is sure, to fast drying and you get hay smell and the typical chlorophyll taste. I remove all fan leaves to dry, but not the sugar leaves. If you are in a wet area, you might want to snip more, if very dry, might even keep the fan leaves on the plant to slow down the drying process. I try to keep my drying material between 55 and 60% humidity. Beginning I prefer more around 55, end more 60. If you are dry before day 5 has passed, you are to quick. If you are in a arid area, put a pan of water in your drying tent and point air flow on it depending on your humidity reading. Also try to stay out of the +65% area.. to wet can cause monster problems. Temperature.. best taste results I have with 18-20 degrees and 7-14 days dry time. Growing a plant is one part, I even think the easiest part. The result of the smoke depends on your drying and curing procedure. Most people ruin their material in the last 2 steps.

Very sexy stuff you got there @Ill_Evan But I think end month harvest is rather optimistic Can't see any amber so far. When my sugar leaves are amber, I usually start to flush. Anything with active pistils, I don't even check.. weeks to go ^^

^^ I think the guys sorted you out. Your AK just yells: tooooo freakin wet, Dude!!! I put my bet on the foilar spray you did causing the spots. Always keep an eye on your new growth, tell you best if you have a serious issue or just a issue. And best way to check if your plants need liquid.. lift the pot!!! And we talk FEATHER light ^^ then you water again. You would be amazed how dry the pot can get and the plants still are happy. If your leaves are "leathery" and on the heavy side, lift the pot first. Heavy.. let it dry up and see how the plants turn happy again. Over nurturing is a common problem in the beginning.

They dont break the law for you. You declare value and content and are responsible for what you declare. You can go premium and pool parcels (up to 45 days storage) to save courier fees. Just with seeds, do not collect several parcels into one... they see seeds, they remove them. I just get another shipment of Serenade... so service works like a charm. I use bitcoin to pay them. You select what post service you want to use, they offer all options. If the seeds are stealth packed, just declare what item it is inside. Stealth packed seeds can also get pooled into one parcel. They dont see, they dont care.

What is your favorite strain right now?
Prom replied to The Madd Scientist's topic in General Discussion
Gelaaaaaaaatooooooooo! ^^ -
If they Fedex directly, yes, is save.. just the seeds need to be packed stealth!!!
-
Yes, Planet Express.. just a remark to the service. Don't consolidate Seeds.. they do not send seeds further, so best is to send your seeds parcels further without letting PlanetExpress open them. Check that the seeds get send stealth or customs will confiscate them.

Is one of the troubles with running different strains at the same time.. some are faster, some slower.. First thing to check is air flow. If they do not get vented well, they stay behind. Tent corner plants have often that issue.. or a bigger plant covers the flow in front. If you want to fiddle a bit with the plants, guide the new branches into the light or bend the leaves away with some 90 degree plant bends. Don't remove any leaves, those energy sources are very much needed now. Rest, looking good!

I wrote my suggestion.. follow California.. treat it same as alcohol and tobacco.. generate tax and jobs instead of more police work load. but not sure what difference that page does ^^

I use crypto currencies a bit to play around and it takes just seconds to finish the deal. All big Seed Banks accept it and my SA Credit Card didn't work international (non resident account).. one of the reasons I do not own a SA bank account anymore, was easier and cheaper to use my German bank account at the end. I like the simplicity to make a payment with crypto. You still enter way less information as with a CC purchase. Amount and the BTC transfer key.. and done. I like the concept behind crypto and use it because I think most currencies in the future will be block chain based. But if you don't like it.. don't use it ^^ for me it is just personal preference. And a international Bank Transfer is 50$ charges... the 3$ i pay for a crypto transfer still a lot cheaper (and a lot faster as IBT, they take around 5 days, I move money from my European Crypto Trader to Bank account in SA within 2 hours if needed).. if you send ETH.. we talk cents in transfer cost. There are pros and cons on both sides.. just go with what you like, I like new technologies ^^ and not paying monthly fees to a bank.. also a word.. crypto accounts have no running cost like banks charge. Banks rip you off.. happy I can leave those *censored* I have now also a CC running over crypto and just a Bank account left in Europe for just in case, but haven't used the Bank account in over a year. Usually pay friends EFT when they mail me some stuff and they don't have a Paypal or Skrill account. Hardly use it for anything else.

I buy most my seeds with Bitcoin. Easy trader to use if you have a ABSA, FNB or Standard Account is www.altcointrader.co.za

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

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

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.
-
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?
-

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.

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

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.

Season One - Coastal Outdoor/Greenhouse Grow
Prom replied to Nacho's topic in Starting Your Own Grow
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 -
Season One - Coastal Outdoor/Greenhouse Grow
Prom replied to Nacho's topic in Starting Your Own Grow
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
