    Just had to check the seeds again.. and if I am not double mistaken.. you might actually get those seeds.. I think in my inner greed I took those seeds outside of the auto section Yummy stuff confuses me and I don't do fems. If that really is the case.. I send you the red mandarin fems once here.. just one condition.. you put a grow report up at growdiaries.com and here.

    I am interested in anything tasty right now.. I focus on the US genetics. The Gelato left a bit of a heavy impression. Haven't had anything like it in years. I focus on 42FastBuds for this year, want to see if they are really just THAT outstanding. Sweet Seeds are US too.. so rather eager to check them out. The Bruce Banner from Monster Genetics is nice, hits, smooth and a light fruity, earthy smoke. Same.. not even close to the Gelato, different league. Is hard to explain.. FastBuds call it a Desert Weed.. and that really fits as description.

    Procedure is rather simple. The auto gene is recessive but due to its unique character easy to spot. PP, Pp, pP will be photo plants you need pp to be an auto. When you made your cross from the Auto with the Photo, those seeds you put under 24/0 light, the Autos will flower, the photos not. Remove the photos, breed the remaining flowering into seeds and the result must be pure autos. I have regular Ruderalis here on Wednesday ^^ then I start my Swazi Gold Auto and Chocolato Project.

    Also have a final result for the 3 Angels from Dutch Passion. Got a total of 187.1g dry dry ^^ i want to Honey Bee them, so dry dry is fine. 62g per plant average (for curing, would have to add some moisture again). Like the Dutch Passion Blackberry, is just not the same like the US autos. If the plant would have gone 20cm up more, she would easy have reached 80-90g. But all three were about the same size.. that seems to be it. Good news.. a 60cm high tent would work You could easy pack 10 of those in a 1.2x0.6 space. They hardly reached the outside of the pot (230x230, square). But like all Autos.. they form buds

    had to raise the cam for the Gorillas today and the light. They are coming excellent in 24/0 so far. I might even lean out of the window and say.. I get 85-90g average from those babes. And the canape.. you can't really make it better with scissors all the mains are within 10cm distance. Very much impressed with those Royal Gorillas from Royal Queen Seeds... so far ^^

    Most likely both sites.. i am not done with selling autos down here

    Is part of the condition.. I have to post a diary for the free seeds.. nothing is really for free these days hehehehe but nice of the guys to let me test some of their beans
  8. Prom
    I have 4 diaries on Growdiaries.com .. and got contacted by Sweet Seeds yesterday, if I want to be a seed tester, they like my diaries. I wrote back: I only do autos . Answer: "Then just select autos ;)" Even have some humor. But had a catch, they only send the seeds to my German address, not to SA. Hope that changes when we get legal seeds or a working Post Office . But I made a quick selection, Cream Caramel, Green Poison and Red Mandarine (not fair only 3 from about 25 to choose from ).. 4 seeds each and free shipping American Breeders rock.. never tried Sweet Seeds, looking forward to the tastes of those three. My aunties just have to send it further If they would have send from the US, i would have used my Planetexpress account. Anyone has an idea why they all ship from Spain these days?

    Fair point! If you look at it.. when I started growing, my first light nearly ruined me financially .. and compared to what we get now, starting to grow indoors was never cheaper.

    Lets make a constructive change to your setup ^^ If you get 1.. just one Quantum Board 288 IM301B diodes, 3000k 660nm version (alibaba, aliexpress, where ever you find it cheapest (diodes are made from Samsung, you just pay the soldering ^^)), with heat sink and the fitting driver, around 120$ plus shipping.. you have enough light for your little setup. If that works and you are happy and you want to expand the space.. add another QB. Having a good light doesn't mean you will not kill the plant(s). But your path to the final product will be way smoother, beside, the final product is something you most likely will enjoy if you used a quality seed.

    couldn't agree more. You will end in disappointment if you do not provide enough for a decent result. Most of us started with small cabinet installations. And you learn from those.. I can predict very easy the outcome. Your plants will have extremely fluffy buds. Due to no substance, they will dry very quick and so have a rather harsh taste of fresh hay when smelled and smoked. You have to cure those for a few weeks to get a smooth smoke.. potency will be very much on the low, so do not expect a coucher, even you do a late harvest. It needs energy to form substance. Light is beside water a key factor, not enough is just not enough. Only way i see your setup work is with a Autoflower.. she will do her thing as much as you starve her on energy (run those lamps 24/7, no need for a timer). I still would invest the Eskom bill into a bag of weed from the corner. You need a lot more light...

    I agree, is expensive.. I just want to point out, Lumens is the wrong unit to look at in regards to plants.

    Plant porn... would love to try all those African strains. I tried Thai in Europe total disaster outdoor. Plants started to flower when we got our first snow hehehe they didn't like snow either That post made my day, Thanks a lot!!

    Sorry bro, you can trash that meter if you got it for plants.. Lumens and LUX are measuring units for our (humans) visible spectrum range. Plant see different.. a lot different. You use a PAR meter. It measures the photosynthetically available radiation (PAR). What the plant can actually use. If you want to read up more detailed, check this article: https://growguru.co.za/blogs/hydroponic/plant-lighting-demystifying-lumens-lux-and-par And when you look for LED lights, look to be in the 3000k range and have some 660nm infra red inside.. plants love it for flowering

    You keep seeds in the dark.. if you glass them, also, warm but dark cabinet is best. Temp around 25 degrees to give em a little energy burst. Don't glass for longer as 12 hours or your seeds start to drown. If they pop, nice fresh seeds, I plant for fems about 2cm deep, for autos 1 cm deep. Not yet popped seeds I prefer to plate after glassing. Is just preference.. and no need to really do that. Most important, keep your soil warm.. 20-25C.. and moist but not wet. If your soil drops below 12 degrees, they get a cold shock.. below 10 they are most likely gone, if not, very very slow. Autos.. that is your first fuckup and your yield will be 1/3 of the originally expected. Germination has only two things to keep in the needed range. Temp and moisture.. if you work with fresh seeds, 48 hours after glassing they should break surface. But can also take three days to pop. Strangely, the slow poppers are not always slow growers... but in general they are. If your seeds pop after 12 hours in a glass.. you can put on a fat smile.. good fresh material.

    I sort the plants and distribute to each section, QB and TS3.. curious if the QBs can match a TS3 But I should have enough to choose from and make a even distribution of good genetics. If you ask yourself, what is the spray bottle doing there.. I use it to easier feed (Root Juice, BioBizz, 4ml/L) the back rows. The Arena

    And the next week started ^^ Day 1 Week 7 And week 6 in motion. You see the lamp changes and all I did on the plants.. that means nothing Air intake comes now to the bottom of the tent and exit is top tent as usual. But you see, they liked the change..
  18. Prom
    I like your setup! I will put a dimmer connection once they are fix on their space and control it over arduino. TS is also not dimmed.. so I keep a even field. Might install dimmers in the TS3s too.. they are a lot more powerful as I expected. I put the big fan (50cm) on.. more air movement never wrong. The TopMax kicked in ^^ they want more today and look quite a bit bigger too, light goes daily up around 5cm. Will give them in the evening again a liter. 1.5 days feeding rhythm.

    If you really need sound proofing.. go with mats.. made for that: https://reliablestore.co.za/products/6pcs-12pcs-24pcs-acoustic-soundproof-sound-stop-absorption-for-ktv-audio-room?variant=20024173166703&sfdr_ptcid=28846_617_556013497&sfdr_hash=cecfde770045285f0c7ce406bf595369&utm_campaign=gs-2018-11-23&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign

    The story went that far.. the promised refund never arrived. But he got a mail, that they send him another lamp.. if it didn't arrive yet. Mhhhh Nope (we were just standing there laughing, did those morons send it to the wrong address again?) From the outside view perspective, this starts to become funny. The lamp got send... why not send a tracker with the mail, was my first question. So he is happy if he gets anything back, money, lamp,... one thing is for sure. He and for sure me.. will never order anything from those dudes in the future. I enjoy to deal with honest people. Wednesday... just to keep record. EFT was promised last week.

    Thirsty now, got feed today.. was needed went 4 Grow / 3 Bloom / 1 TopMax, each a liter. Big tent is running with the battle of the board preparation. Heads are out, and a very nice 24 degrees in the flat. Bit jealous, bit cold in the main house hehehe Have to think into a way to get the warm air over and heat the main during winter. But lights need cooling. What I can say, the QBs run way hotter compared to the TS3. Have to check the heat sink and may change it. Have 2 oscillating fans running and still the QBs are not pleasant to touch.

    Rule of thumb is that your tent should renew the air 5 times a minute. But the inside circulation is same if not more important. If you do not disperse the fresh air a simple flow will occur from entrance to exit and your plants will not get the needed CO2 to grow. Second the movement strengthens the plants structure to hold the buds. Cook up a storm inside.. to much is when leaves fly ^^ to little is when plants hardly move. PPM measures the particles in water. Some mineral rich areas can reach easy 800PPM and that leaves you no big range for fertilizer. To many particles in the liquid "clog" the plants "highways" up. Filtered should work but then you might want to measure the Ph. Best is rain water.. get a tank ^^ You need to have a closer look at the plant when you get to harvest time. Without you just guess.. and most beginners harvest waaaaaaaaay to early. Yes, easy to get it later.. get the harvesting gear when you make it to flowering stage.

    @CreX if you give em a fair chance, and with your know how of the plants. I will convert you too. Just let them be and have their peace.. don't fiddle or cut anything i only top if absolutely needed in regards to the canape. Even if they don't become huge, the plants just transfer into one huge bud.. very very dense huge bud The Charlotte's Angel is a good example. Was a bit over 30cm tall.
  24. Prom
    oscillating fan inside the tent. Fertilizer kit. PPM meter to test your water or get it tested. If you use tap water and is rather rich with minerals, might be to much. If you use rain water, forget PPM and Ph kit. pocket microscope or 40x magnifier or good digital marco camera. Pair of small scissors (thin blade) and a larger one. un-powdered medical gloves. Vacuum sealable glass jars. Boveda moisture regulating bags. And rather sure I forgot something
  25. Prom
    they do that by them self.. have no influence on it. If you want fast plants, look for 8 weeks time seed to harvest.. or just trust me and get some Fastbuds Gelatos.. they will also give you a mouthgasm and hit like a donkey The Gorillas grow fine, I expect not less than 70g per plant.
