  1. Telling somebody over a picture to harvest or not.. isn't the easiest. But I also understand that it is a rather confusing step.. and a very important one too. This is my personal opinion and nothing written in stone As long as the pistils are out, I do not even think into harvest... is my sign for: don't worry.. you still have some time to wait... not even unpacking the pocket microscope Then comes the time the pistils are dried up.. this is when I make my first check.. and decide what kind of weed I want to get.. depending on the weather, you might have to get harvest started.. otherwise.. waiting for taste and couch effect And this is the latest I harvest, you see the amber by just looking at it. In my book that is ~50% (little bit more on the plus side) Hope that helped a little to decide what you do
  2. Prom

    Random grow?

    Depends on your climate. if you are in a very arid area, dry trim. If very humid, you want to remove as much material before you put it to dry, hence wet trim. I wouldn't say one or the other is better.. i use both depending to weather situation.
  3. Not that I am any light expert.. but to my knowing, the cooler shouldn't be connected to any current. My TS3000s don't shock you at all, just warm. You also get shocked when you touch the driver power unit?
  4. I like the names already from your seeds.. ever thought to go a step ahead and go colloidal silver to do fem seeds.. and then.. the last step and cross with ruderalis to get a auto? (No problem to get silver coins, so very easy to get the colloidal silver solution) Would have zero issues to fork you out 1000 Rand for 10 seeds.. if the genetic are as delicious as they sound.. 1500 also zero issue.
  5. Outdoor growing is zero fun this year
  6. Mhhhh I tested the product... the result was: didn't do anything or even made it worse. Somebody used this stuff and actually killed mildew with it??? No joke, I had to cut 2 plants down, which i sprayed a week ago as prevention and thought.. works like Serenade. No, it doesn't.. can't recommend this product one bit. Both plants got 5 days after the spray a heavy Mildew attack..
  7. Just went stocking up on BioBizz.. as long as Eskom stays up, I shouldn't get into to many troubles. (Just knocked on wood) I wish all the best for the upcoming days.. like Totemic, I am not scared to get it. But lets chatter ^^ what bugs me is that we have on average a year 400'000 influenza (flue) related deaths world wide.. and we do not make a mess out of those. So corvid19 has to reach quite another number to even rival normal flue. The numbers I read are 3% mortality when you divide known infected with related deaths. When you go realistic and calculate the number of unknown infect into it.. under 1% mortality rate. I think normal flue has 0.8%. People with a immune deficiency or a present lung infection are clear risk group. The last number I got from Italy count of victims, average age was 79.5 years old. So older people should also be more careful. As TB and HIV are heavy present in Africa, it can get way more out of hands here. But it looks a bit strange, that you ruin your countries finances by shutting it down. There are not many South Africans having the money to survive 21 days on what they own right now and have in their pocket. So you have to get to the point asking yourself.. why do they commit financial suicide.. and that is all over the world countries go into shut down. My personal favorite is, that they do it on purpose. The financial system is in a debt spiral down and getting worse for all governments. They might total the car and blame it on the virus.. we did it to protect you guys, so shut up and stop complaining, that kind of direction. Reform of the finance system would be the next step.. cash is on the hit list for years. If governments could, every transaction would be electronic and with that able to check and tax. Or is way simpler.. hehehe as most politicians are in the risk group (over 60 years old), they act in self preservation. I for my part think is way over reacted to shut down a country because of flue, old people die.. we all have a clock ticking.. not to far away from the 60 myself. At least harvest started.. what keeps you busy for the next days. The next 21 days will not be very boring lets hope Eskom keeps us powered.. only spoiler would be if they shut down too. Stay healthy, stay happy
  8. Just ignore the sugar leaves.. mine are always full amber when I harvest.. tells not a lot. Check the flower tops, 30% amber will bring you to a test of patience Just keep the mildew in your eyes... I had to harvest 2 plants.. and more will follow.. weather is way to humid at my spot. And my Serenade still in shipping.. I get to the point.. I only put Auto out next season is just zero hassle compared to what I fight now on my fems.
  9. Friend had a all the way 1 blade plant. Was a Silver Lemon Haze Autoflower. I had a 3 blade on a Blue Cheese Auto.. I think is mutation but is just a guess. The 1 blade SLH also did foxtailing all the way though flowering. Was strange to look at but the smoke was very very potent and fruity, better than the normal growing SLH plants he had. Was a bit of a head scratcher
  10. When ever you think, it is time to harvest.. wait another week. New growers.. I recommend to do that at least twice Is to early.. sugar leaves turn amber rather fast. Wait till picture area 5 has more color.. would be my suggestion. The more amber, the more couch lock.. so you have to decide when is your perfect time to cut.
  11. You find solar calculators all over the place. It depends how much you consume.. same counts for the borehole pump. If you want to drink the water, run it though a filter. Just calculate all the wattage from the gear you want to run over a 24 hour cycle.. and then check with a company (for example: https://www.exsolar.co.za/) how much the system would cost. I suggest to go with a hybrid system and not a pure off-grid setup.
  12. Good Morning.. not sure is a good one for you SAgrower. This is hard... really hard to tell.. I would say you have fungi, root and Caterpillar/Grasshopper issues.. but would really need to feel the leaves and see the full plant. So very much please please.. others might have better information. The holes are your smallest issue.. when you pulled the plant yesterday, did you smell at the roots? You smell very easy if you have root rot. Sorry.. pictures just keep me guessing..
  13. I have German friends, told them to go in a garden center and get me some They are also my work around, if the company doesn't ship to SA (more car parts wise ^^). But shouldn't be difficult to get it from a online site. Check here perhaps? https://www.7springsfarm.com/serenade-biofungicide-liquid-concentrate-1-quart-bottle/ And that is good news
  14. Load shedding isn't a that big deal breaker. On Autos you loose growing time depending on your lighting schedule. I buffer that time.. but isn't also really needed either, Autos just a bit smaller. Stage 1-4 you just go 24/0 during veg and shouldn't run into any issue for premature flowering. If they get freaky and go Stage 6 or more again, you will run into issues, if you don't produce artificial battery light. But you can also bridge that with 1-2 LED light from PnP. Just do it! Greenhouse brings advantages and disadvantages.. easiest growing you get in a tent, as you can control the climate yourself.. the better you do that, the better is your result.. and some green thumbs help too
  15. Serenade.. import some (wouldn't use wantitall, they are hyper expensive) Is a bacteria, they just cultivate it and put it in a bottle. It eats mildew and once it doesn't find anymore, it dies off. One spray sorts you out.. Is the first time I have PM.. or anything on my plants in CT. So don't feel to bad.. this year will not be good at all, humidity is radical exactly when it shouldn't be . If you spray and nothing happens, increase the dosage. Going on with what isn't working, will end in total loss anyhow. So it is up to you to decide, give em a bitch smack and see what survives.. but is clean or you will lose all anyhow. If I would have Serenade here, I would fill a syringe and send you some But that is still shipping. I wanna spray the tent, just to be sure, is as clean as it should be. The P Bicarb didn't work??
  16. Indoor I do remove (fix light).. Outdoor I don't (moving light).. or only if forced by a epidemic One of my usual plants (picture taken a few mins ago) And patient Zero from this year after the defoil because of powdery mildew.. was as bushy before. Weather just way to wet in Feb But got her clean
  17. Depends what you want to do with the result. Anything you have it in your buds.. is not to advise to smoke it, but you still can kill the fungus, once dry, and bubble it. Once dry, very easy to kill with Ozone. If you want to smoke it.. I would remove those buds.. and burn them on the braai. Serenade would clean it out perfect.. but till you get that, things will look rather grim. P Bicarb soak is the first I would do.. you don't want the fungi to spread. And give the other ladies around a spray just to be sure they have a little protection. Weather is causing havoc all over the place.
  18. way easier... no Autos from bag seeds I go that far... don't waste your time with bag seeds.. in any case don't waste fertilizer on those.. crossing a sexy female with a bush male turns out shit.. and that shit is just not worth the effort. Leave bag seeds and dump them in the bin! As long as the male is crap quality.. your plants will end crap! Only use bag seeds, when you made them and know exactly what is inside the genetics.. rest very very much a waste of time! Your plants flower, as the light duration is below 12 hours now.. they just do, what they are programmed to do. Any fem seeds you dump out now and don't use artificial light, will turn out small little bonsai's. Autos will just follow their time table.. and with little light, you get just nothing out.
  19. #1 Weather issues #2 Gelato week 6 #3 Offspring #4 Girl Scout up skirt shot #5 GSC going Durban
  20. @Zaza mine look worse but as mentioned.. they will swing back if you keep up the TLC. Important part is that the fungi don't spread anymore and looks good so far.. turns gray.. that is a dead fungus P Bicarb is after Serenade the best i know to get rid of Powdery Mildew. But if you have Serenade.. use that!! Way way less stressy for your plants. Is something I can very much recommend each grower to have, if you are more in the humid areas. (mine is shipped ^^ lets hope it passes customs)
  21. Sweet, a man with knowledge Does that also mean that I can't import for personal use, if the product isn't registered? If I can import for personal use, I think I just order for a year stock from over seas.. products are half the price.. so the 30% or 50% the customs would add.. would still keep the bill lower. Not sure about trading and corona (not the beer).. might take a bit longer as expected. If I have to order one product.. can also order all the stuff I actually would love to have in my arsenal. In regards of the Department of Agriculture.. if it works like Home Affairs, I should get it way cheaper and really fast registered, if I do not go the official way I think very hard into the idea to open a online grow show.. with all the products I would like to have inside ^^ But after your remark, I think I better check with the officials, what side costs are coming into the calculation. So many thanks for the input!!
  22. Sorry ^^ Eskom got a bit in my way Can't add much.. I just want to point to a simple fact.. if you use Ph as a weapon, always check that your soil stays in the right Ph region. And just that I get my imperial stuff right.. Ounce = 32g and a gallon is 3.8 liter. Is a little more as I take as ration (6.5g per liter water) and should be ok to use. But as Mambawana said.. you are good you most likely checked in the morning and at lunch time it already looked a bit better. They are a bit stressed now.. so they will drink a bit less.. don't swamp em
  23. Putting all on the P Bicarb would be to much of an honor ^^ I used apple vinegar before for 3 days (5ml per liter water) .. the areas where it reached the flowers, I used 15ml per liter and gave it a local harsh flush, soaked the flower as good as I could. The P Bicarb i mixed 1 tea/spoon (6.5g) per liter water. Checks I just did with the microscope on a few spot.. all tests look rather dead to me I will not spray for 2 days now and see what is going on. If the weather stays as humid, yes, I will spray them lightly every 2 days, but stay with the P Bicarb for now. Rather funny how your mood swings with the condition of your plants..
  24. Oros.. you saved my plants Aquarium shop is not the best communicator hehehe but they did send the stuff right away. Got the Potassium Bicarb yesterday, instantly gave the whole outdoor crop a soaking.. 10L for 9 plants. Today looks already waaaaaaay better.. winning this fight Gave a second light shower right now and have a very good mood The stuff is as effective as I remember it.. but still can't wait to get the Serenade Have a fun week growing!
