Prom

@Mambawana Thanks for the advice, bru! I was considering milk.. but decided due to the weather not to go that way. Is very humid and I fear I battle suddenly bud mold too (even I would boil the milk before using it). I need a week of warm dry weather or I really see no way to get rid of a fungus. Friend down the road has bud mold and is fighting a rather loosing battle. CT weather is very very humid this season. 65% and cloudy as we speak.. little fungi must have a rave on those leafs right now might even rain a bit.. then the party should turn orgy. No answer from the Aquarium shop yet ^^ i have my hopes on the P Bicarb.. worked good in my few experiences. Serenade is the best of the best.. a fungi eating bacteria and dies off when there is no food anymore. Told a friend in Germany to send me a bottle... might take a bit to reach me, so more a nice to have bottle for the next case. Eskom just had us 3.5 hours down too... growing in SA keeps you on your toes.

Thanks man! I was on the website yesterday and just got scrambled code. Wrote a email to the admin and hoping it reaches a mailbox ^^ must have. You are a super star. ordered!

I start to get the idea to get some proper gear to SA ^^ Is like the fertilizer.. only real pro option is Bio Bizz.. and that is double the price as in Europe. My first choice isn't available either.. nobody down here imports Plagron! Why?? Don't know. Is like with Serenade .. import. Cant be that hard to get some good products in one grow shop inside SA.. legal growing. Perhaps time.. after 21 years of living in retirement to start working again. Perhaps I am also just a bit grumpy because one of my babies has Coronavirus issues So please nobody take any of my ranting personal.. but I miss so many products down here.

Is due end March... so painfully long. Before I bud wash, I make a braai with the plant only thing mattering to me is quality. I might lose my full outdoor harvest is it spreads.. just the 5k fertilizer i blew into the babies is giving me a sour taste. Somewhere upwind is a badly infected garden... only explanation I can find. Only plant having the issue is standing also in the most windiest spot. Sometimes strange things happen

I need one shower.. is very very early. Never had taste issues with P Bicarb.. but can always bubble the plant if unhappy. Right now, only goal is to get rid of the fungus. I even would apply Serenade on the spots by hand.. but that product is a zero find either ^^ How do you guys survive down here? Right now I use home made apple vinegar.. but the weather is not looking to get better.. so I have 2 options. Go a bit radical or dump the plant... so the others have a fair chance to finish clean.

spray the outside of your pot with a contact poison.. that should keep the ants out

Ants herd and farm aphids.. they drink the sweet juice the aphids give, when stimulated. So they also protect them against enemies.. get rid of the ants and the rest on your plants ASAP

Where do you buy Potassium Bicarbonate in SA?? Get it in any European Supermarket.. just not in South Africa The weather in CT is shit.. and we really call it shit.. got the first time in 11 years hassle with my outdoors.. powdery mildew, just started, but can't find Potassium Bicarbonate.. as strange as it may sound hehehe Can PLEEEAAAASSSSEEEEE somebody point me to a shop I can buy that quick and give my Ladies a cleaning shower????

Weed below 58% doesn't cure, as to dry.. at least to my knowledge. That is why I never go below 58 ^^ Curing range is 58-66% humidity. So I aim for the middle.. 62 ^^ but I just bring it to 62, then I remove the bag and just vacuum the weed.

Is like wine.. storing and letting it age doesn't increase the alcohol level.. but the taste becomes so much better.. cured weed is the same.. gets awesome taste, before it does its effect Cure your weed!

When you reach 62%, you have the perfect moisture level for curing. I remove the bag(s) at that stage and put the batch in the final storing container (very sure the container is washed/disinfected and the seal is cleaned). No, no "burping" needed once you reach the sweet spot. After that you just have to give it at least 2 weeks to cure and you are ready to smoke. If the jar does it's job, the weed will stay at that moisture level. So when you take a bud out, let it breath for 15-30 mins, before you smoke it.

Those bags only work with vacuum jars. The main word is vacuum here Second, balancing moisture is a time consuming act... if you put in a very very dry bud, that will take some time.. easy 2 weeks, to get it to curing level. If your jar is sealed.. just wait.. and next time, try to hit the sweet spot a bit better The bags say, that they do both "swings". To wet they will reduce moisture and to dry they will add. Never ever use those bags on to wet weed!!! Dry it the normal way and add a bag when you are to dry, using a bag to lower the moisture brings very high risks of mold, because just takes way to long. When your bag is crystallized, hard to the touch, you have for sure a leaking jar.. or the bag was to small for the amount weed you put in to re moist. In any case.. that bag is a goner. But as they "swing" both ways, you can re moist used bags again, as long as they are soft, you get moisture back in. Store unused bag in a jar you are VERY sure it seals.. or you lose your bags for next harvest. If you are to wet, use silicon bags.. and if they are used, in the oven for 30 mins at 70C and they are ready for duty again

You have an update? Hydro ph range is 5.5 - 6.5... you go out of that range, you will stress your plant. 4.5 is no good! And is rather very little light.... and i mean very very little light for flowering. Can't you hang something over the plant for the shadow time? Makes a huge difference in harvest.. or end result might more resemble cotton candy then a bud

Hi and welcome You have to watch temperature.. anything below 12C will make your seeds unhappy.. anything below 10C will most likely kill them. So as long as you keep em warm and sunny, they grow.. and welcome to the world of Autoflowers

My kinda thread Autos have some advantages.. and some disadvantages ( at least I got told hehehe) I grew a few and, me, I love autos. My opinion advantages/disadvantages of Autoflower Disadvantage - Got told they taste less good as they grow less long (that is on the list to get tested) - Not a beginner plant, every fuck up will lower your yield substantially, the plant demands perfect growing conditions all the time Advantages 1 Tent for all generations (18/6, 20/4. 24/0 fix light cycle) You can grow a bigger selection on the same space I get a lot more yield from Autos in relation of the fertilizer I put into the plant (cheaper weed) A lot less maintenance work (watering, defoiling) and easier handling of the plants First batch outdoor Autos you plant in October comes 100% without seeds as no males out flowering before the harvest. Over all I like the simplicity of the plant. No light changes, every 2 days 1 liter of water in my 11L pots. I have to grow 12 Autos, to reach the fertilizer consumption of one of my outdoor fems. If they don't yield at least 600g dry, my fem will lose the yield battle.. and that is with a lousy 50g dry calculation per Auto.. we reached on the last 19 Autos we harvested.. friend and myself, an average of 80g dry per plant.. we take that number, fem has to reach over 900g dry if the fertilizer i put into both, are the same amount. An Auto uses about 215ml fertilizer total during her life cycle, one of my outdoor fems stands on around 2865ml per life cycle... quite a bit hehehe (using Bio Bizz.. so fucking expensive ) I only plant Fems these days, if I can't get the Auto version of the plant.

Nirvana Bubblelicious Auto Outdoor grow.. is one of my preferred Autoflowers at the moment. Gave 92g dry, around 50cm tall.Perfect for small tents ^^

They change color by changing their chemical composition and that happens over time. Some are faster.. some slower.. some plants have their own agenda. As said above, you decide when you want to harvest. Check several spots on the plant.. get a good overview of the colors on your plant and harvest according to your liking. This part is the most annoying patience test of the grow cycle but harvesting to early is a bit like wasting all the work and money you put into the plant.

Good Morning I guess you refer to the "hair" of the flowers. They will go brown, when you come towards harvesting time. The trichomes (the crystals) you check with jewelers magnifying glasses or a pocket microscope.. (40x and up). Those little bubbles change their color by time. Going from clear to white to amber. When to harvest is a bit each owns choice.. and one of the most discussed topics between growers hehehe I give you my 5 cent, then you all can roast me I wouldn't harvest anything, before the trichomes have not changed at least 10% to amber. That is the earliest stage to cut the babies down.. and plan in a 2 week of flush before that! The more amber the trichomes get, the more "couchy" the weed gets. It also gets more tasty by time. So a very tasty weed is usually also a couch weed. Most tasty stuff you get when the trichomes have change 50-65% to amber... but not always you want a couch weed.. so I harvest depending on the effect I want the weed to have. 20%-65% amber is my harvesting range. Energizers more early.. relaxers more late.

Fabric pots you should always raise above ground and not let them stand directly on the ground. Due to the the vaporization of the water you put in, I would also recommend not to go 1:1 on dosage a person knowing the fertilizer tells you, but he is using none fabric pots! Friend lives 5 mins walking from my spot. So same climate, same plants, same size, both use rain water.. he uses fabric pots, I use plastic pots. He gives them 12 liter a day per plant, i give 6. His plants never ever use 6 liters more ^^ so the additional fertilizer will stock up.. and did.. he had to make a flush like you and reduce to every second day fertilizer, to balance for the fabric pot and the heat we have here. Tick to hot here to use fabric outside in SA.. otherwise great pots

Not growing right after a good flush, can also mean that the root system got very swamped. Check that you let the soil dry down and have your fabric bags raised to have air circulating below. If she is still not doing anything, is most likely a lock out. Plant shows you this one: But she should bounce back.. doesn't really look tragic to me.. but once more.. soil is rather new to me. Have you checked up on your fertilizer?

Soil Ph?

Which Seed Bank you got the seeds from? sorry first question might be a bit strange. Light/heat stress usually causes fox tailing.. colas get to hot from the light, hang light higher. Check room for cooling.. staying below 24C should calm your babies down again.

Veg.. way more K then N... sorry, bro.. but your fertilizer disqualifies rather harsh.. needs more N in Veg... POINT! Looks like somebody mixing stuff on good hopes. With those numbers.. wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot limbo pole. N- 25%, P- 5% and K- 20%.. we would have a argument starting.. but your numbers look plain wrong for vegetative growth on cannabis (at least to my knowledge)

March April is waaay to late First time I see a fertilizer giving dates, when to use it. Is like you get driving lessons and the guy says: break at 17.00 You use fertilizer when the plant tells you.. mine are flowering and on flower fertilizer since last week Jan ^^ March/April for Outdoor growers to use flower specific fertilizer.. can't agree one bit with that text

?? Contains no P?? How would that work?? I know that some salts count as organic.. but the main part is inorganic. If somebody gets kinky and tries the product.. please post a report. Right now, I am not sure that works as good as what I use.
