Prom

I got in my head, that I want some Sour Diesel.. any recommendations for a seed bank you really enjoyed their Sour Diesel?

I think I saw fabric pots.. I agree 100% with Dank.. looks very much like dry root. Fabric pots have the stupid habit, that they run the water off over the sides and leave the root dry. Make a hole at the center and fill her slowly with water in several steps, that you are very sure the whole pot is wet. Should recover fast.. check if she goes herm just on one branch.. sometimes you are lucky and is just one branch going haywire. So one cut might save most.. if it is spread.. shredder the plant and compost it. such a nice plant

I honestly think you can skip on the Acti Vera.. is just of use in coco. There is a little note on the Bio Bizz table in regard to that. 20l is small for fems and huge for autos.. for fems.. pots are never big enough ^^ I always lift the pots to see if they need water.. or i would have gone 100l long time ago. As you use Top-Max (magic, isn't it ^^) and heaven.. I would suggest to go on your next batch without epsom and acti vera.. should end same same.. just cheaper.

Nope.. never had a Mg issue on soil with Bio Bizz. Top-Max is a Ca and Mg provider too.. but my main defense are my pot sizes in combination with my compost. My fems all have 60l+ pots. So the soil buffers any shortage on Mg. And have to ask back.. as I am no soil dude ^^ Acti Vera is a enzyme for coco.. what's your reason to use it on soil? Quick internet search.. if you use Heaven.. you can skip Epsom. And both Top-Max and Heaven have Ca and Mg on their ingredient list.. other culprit to look for your Mg shortage is the water you use.

Sorry.. forgot to answer this one. His leaves slightly curled and rippled and got lighter spots on the leafs edges. I didn't diagnose it on that.. when he told me that he gave 4 grow and 4 bloom per liter.. "but my autoflowers are way smaller and get 4/4, didn't think it would hurt the big ones".. my answer was: Is the amount of flower material using the nutrition. You have hardly any flower substance yet, where should all the P and K get used? Understand why a plants needs what type of fertilizer, gives you the best idea how much to give. And again the same rule: Less is always better, if you are in question what to do. If you actually log the water consumption of your plants, you will see the first change.. they stop drinking, when they run into a problem. Have a plant going down in water.. she is on the way into a lock out. If you can figure out now why she is stressed, you have the shortest stop in growing time. Once they go into a lock out.. you lose around 2 weeks of growing and development on the plant, till you have sorted your fuck up

Fertilizer is a double edged blade.. at least when you give recommendations to use it. I try to stay below the "killing range".. just to not get a rant how my advice killed somebodies crops The measurements I posted shouldn't be in the critical area and not hurt any plants.. but I agree with you.. the sky is the limit and you can bring the dosage up still easy. But only do that, when you understand what you do with fertilizer. As a beginner in using it, stick to the rule: Less is always better!! And once you have a few harvests done and feel experimental.. go ballistic!!

I am still a bit running in circles in regards to soil. Hehehe I am no specialist on soil and all my information I got from a pro grower in the Netherlands. Strangely they all switched back to soil and I feel a bit like the black sheep these days, still having my main focus on rock wool He wasn't as detailed as my little beginner guide.. but when I asked, what fertilizer system I should use down here, he was so kind to have a look around on the internet, what you find in SA. Importing fertilizer is due to the Post Office and its delays.. not really an option.. or you keep a monstrous stock yourself ^^ I never tried Heaven.. simply as the guy simply told me: Use fish, grow, bloom and the most important Top-Max. Top-Max is a bit the product I would miss, if Bio Bizz would suddenly disappear.. rest you can pack together with other products too. Seagro I used myself before too.. the better N supplier you find in Guanoflo.. you also get it at Builders, Garden section. But still way less potent in N as Fish-Mix. SeaGro is a toy version of Fish-Mix. Using the full BioBizz range could get very expensive. So a clear warning to your wallet, if you switch. My fertilizer cost are higher as my electricity cost.. and that is a word But.. plants grow and flower very very nicely with that combo. Anything you add.. like me Root Juice.. just dents your wallet a bit more. So if you try Heaven.. ^^ please let me know. For now, I stick to the 5 I use.. 1Liter of Top-Max will cost around 600 Rand with delivery cost.. Fish and Grow should be 255 at a shop and Bloom 270...

I see just to many posting single Bio Bizz components they use.. is a fertilizer system and should be used like that. So here is my guide to Bio Bizz to use in soil (recommended soil: Freedom Farms Green Bag, Premium Classic). For Autoflower, follow the light-mix / coco mix table as good as you can, with 2 changes to be more on the save side, if you start with the fertilizer. You need 4 products for soil: Fish-Mix, Grow, Bloom and Top-Max First change to the table: Start giving Fish-Mix when you got your first 5 finger leaf growing, not before! Second change: Only start with Top-Max, when your flowers are finger thick. And no guessing how much you put into your water, be as accurate as you can be! 1ml is 1ml.. not 1.5 or 0.7.. is 1! Lets make a theory run: You start the germination process with sterile water and let them pop and grow to about 2cm root. Plant in your grow medium. As soon as the plants show their 5 finger leaf (end week 2, if slow week three), you add 2ml Fish-Mix to each liter of water you feed. (I syringe feed till they have occupied the 11 liter pot, is my max pot size for Autos) If you run feminized seeds, the time table is not for you. But till now, you did the same.. go on feeding 2ml till they reach about 100cm, go up to 3ml per liter Fish-Mix. When your plants show the first signs, that they go into flowering, swap from Fish-Mix to Grow and bloom. Autos follow the table, feminized go 2ml/2ml of each. When the flowers are easy to see by eye, I have the next shift and go 3/3 of Grow and Bloom. As soon as the flowers reach finger thickness, time to add Top-Max to the party (1ml). This is not nutrition, is a enzyme forcing flower production.. and rather expensive ^^ So easy with it. You stay on 3/3 grow and bloom per liter from now on till end, you just add 2 more stages of Top-Max depending how your flowers grow. So the final weeks you run 3 Grow, 3 Bloom, 3 Top-Max per liter of water. Every 2 weeks, put a flush day. Water the pots with pure water till you have a very good run off! Is to eliminate concentrated fertilizer pockets in the soil. If you use saucers, never ever let the plants stand in water for longer as 5 hours. Empty by hand if needed. 2 weeks before harvest you drop the Grow and Bloom.. if you feel freaky and your wallet is filled, stay on adding 2ml Top-Max only for the next 4-5 days, then pure water till the end. (I recommend a 2 day total darkness stress and no water before you cut and hang to dry.. if you haven't tried, try, curing time drops quite a bit with that method, smoke is way smoother from the start) Autoflower, you can follow that table really 1:1.. but plants not following their grow schedule you will kill. So always use your brain.. giving a not yet flowering plant bloom.. will hurt her over time. She just doesn't need the P yet in those amounts. The sole difference between Fish-Mix and Grow is that Grow is 75% Fish-Mix and 25% molasses. So when you swap from Fish to Grow, you reduce N and add sugar.. just that you understand. The additional sugar is also a way to push the plants into flowering.. what means.. do not use Grow on early Autos!!!!!! You can use Grow from time to time on your feminized in Veg state.. but I personal stick to Fish-Mix only during the growing phase. And a last little add on.. for Autoflowers I recommend to use Root Juice from Bio Bizz.. you can already dump the seeds in a glass with Root Juice mix (4ml) and also wet the paper towels with it. It improves the grow of your roots a lot.. and bigger roots mean faster grow.. Autoflower depend on being fast in the first 3 weeks or your plant will stay rather small. Is additional cost.. and not needed for Fems.. they have enough time ^^ Hope that helped.. any questions.. just ask.. and I wouldn't use Bio Bizz for Hydro... Fish-Mix has about the same smell as fresh diarrhea after a day when you let the water stand.. soil you smell nothing at all from the plants.. never used it on Coco.. so can't say. Hope that helped a little NPK ratios: Fish-Mix: 5-1-4 Grow: 4-3-6 Bloom: 2-7-4 Always give it a good shake before you use it!!!!!!!

You are still in soil.. good soil... even you stop now with all fertilizer, you will get a good harvest out of those plants. I wouldn't go panic mode right now Flush and read up a bit on the fertilizer.. if somebody in here uses hortimix, they will have some good information for you to go on. Swapping to Bio Bizz has the same result.. you have to learn the fertilizer.. so i see no help there right now. You have some kiff plants.. result should still be satisfying, just keep your calm

nooooooo!!! If you go on with that you will kill your plants Plants grow.. they use more water.. the more they drink, the more they absorb. You give em more water and boost it. I would give them a 2 day flush.. just to get the levels down a bit. You most likely over did it ^^ If you are still learning the fertilizer, you need EC and ppm meter as CreX said.. or you will end in misery. "Lets give some more" is in most cases a killer. Get contact with a person more experience with the fertilizer you use.. and get some tips. (I got a complete introduction from a guy how to use Bio Bizz) When ever you want to increase your fertilizer amount.. never do that on all plants at once.. less frustrating. Soil is not like hydro and you have a fair chance to safe them, if you mess up.. but still.. serious fertilizer burn will ruin your harvest yield and make a very long curing time. Best is to make some bubble hash with that ^^

I am CT.. Blouberg.. bigger pots!! Makes your life with watering also easier.. morning, evening.. done. I guess you have to water those 3-4 times to keep em wet all day long. You can also build your own wind protection with some green garden webbing (builders has in the garden section), 2 posts, concrete umbrella stands. Easier to move those stands.. just has to break the wind.. not block it. Friend has a Braai spot in the middle of the wind area he wanted to use for plants.. we get easy 40-50 knots of wind here. So we wrapped the area once around with mosquito netting (also from builders).. sun passes.. air too ^^ and also didn't rip or needs replacement. Would call it a working concept gave him a huge grow area with not to much cost and effort.

I had a few GSC till now.. is my preferred weed over all. But till now they all were green flowers. Now I got one doing those flowers (picture) and contacted yesterday Nirvana to ask, if they can fill my knowledge gap And just got the answer from AJ... something you really like to read Gave em a compliment on their Bubblelicious first ^^ Hi thereThat's fantastic to hear! Bubblelicious is also one of my favorites! As for your question on the GSC. Sounds like you got the same phenotype I had a few grows back. This is just a phenotype that has a stronger pull towards the Durban Poison genetics of the parental strain. You are in for a real treat. If you are able to take a clone, please do so as I was very p*ssed with myself that I didn't Do send some pictures!

If your plants go very green and you do not know if that is good or bad, cut a fan leaf off and bend one of the fingers together. If it breaks in a funny way.. not a clean break but more jagged. The amount of nutrition in the leaf is to high and starts to crystallize. Give it a good flush for 2-3 days till the color goes more light and reduce your feeding amount. I personally never feed more as the max set by the producer. I do not know Hortimix, so I can't give any advice . But on Bio Bizz for instance, the 12 week table is for Autoflower. Using that table on a feminized will hurt her to kill her. Good example is a friend, he started his first proper grow this year. The cage plant pic is one of his (amnesia haze). He gave Fish-Mix in a 4ml per liter dosage when the plants were big and before flowering. That is the max Bio Bizz has on their 12 week table. I stay on 3ml per liter for instance.. enough in my opinion for thirsty fems and also a lot cheaper ^^ Then his plants went flowering and he just thought, lets jump to grow and bloom directly and gave 4ml per liter of each to the water. If you do not use "hard" fertilizer, mixed into the soil, your plants will drink nutrition when you water. If they get to much from something, they try to store it. If they run out of space for .. in his case to much P and K.. he ran into over nutrition problems. But flushed and went back to 2ml each... and plants went back to normal. How much fertilizer you have to add depends on the stage of your plant. The general rule is very simple.. is better to give less than to much. If you don't know what is correct.. always stick to the given limit of the producer, never raise by your own without knowing what you do. For my Autos, I follow that time table more or less 1:1 and just adapt it depending the time a plant needs.. 8-9 week plants.. you have to reduce those 12 weeks to fit the feeding.. same counts for plants needing more for time to finish. I really do not recommend to go over the limits you find written on the fertilizer

and I really suggest bigger pots next time you do a great job, at least what I see on your pic.. but a 11 liter pot is just a little to small for those babies. for that size plant i would suggest more 60+ liter pots.

Looks healthy to me but needs support. Plants realize, when their branches hang down from weight and stop production on those branches. I would suggest to "cage" those pots! Helps a lot to sort your branches for optimal sun and support when flowering.

The cleaning of your gear.. and if you do not wear gloves, your fingers, can be made easy with a simple trick. Oil.. I use olive oil, seems to bond best.. but free to try others. You use one drop. Spread the oil over the area and scratch with your finger nails the rest hash off, no worries, will not stick. Once happy, use the scraping part of a kitchen sponge to clean the scissor to shine. Fingers, just wet with oil and rub off to a ball. Due to the oil.. don't smoke that.. but bon appetit Clean hands and sponge with detergent. Can leave the oil on the scissors Happy growing

Thought might be a nice indicator, if we post harvest results. Know what you can expect from each plant.. might be changing peoples opinion in giving the seed a try. The yield of the seed is set as "low", can't agree with that ^^ Buds are very nice size on those Bubbles. Plant: Bubbleicious Type: Autoflower Seed producer: Nirvana Light: Outdoor Soil: own mix, home made compost with Freedom Farm green bag (mix ratio 2/3 - 1/3) Fertilizer: Bio Bizz (Fish-Mix for veg, Grow, Bloom and Top-Max for flowering) Germination: 12. November 19 Harvest: 4. Feb 20 Yield (4 plants): 65, 82, 90, 72 (in that order visible in the dry tent picture) - 309g (ready to cure, little under dry, but I prefer to go a little bit more on the dry side, gets a bag anyhow) The scissor hash is from dry dressing, gives an idea how sticky the buds are.... happy with the result.

How do the plants get judged? Make a picture?? Kinda can't bring those trees for judging Wouldn't it be easier, if you select a official lab testing Canabis, take the different categories they test (date of test must be 2020) and the winner is the one with the highest result per category? I wouldn't move my plants for any competition.. not worth to stress them that much. But getting it tested from the same spot, should deliver fair results. Have a sexy week and happy growing

White Widow Autoflower week 10 Wonder Woman feminized Blue Cheese Autoflower week 9

If you run fems, I would just go with white light.. enough light will trick your plants.. just not grow anymore. Autos... they have a rather short veg phase, and when Eskom shuts you down 1-2 times a day, after a week you lost a day, after 2 weeks.. 2.. that is serious grow time for Autos. Only reason I power a grow light and take the hassle. Fems you decide when you want to go flower, so you lose 1-2 days if you just use normal LED backup lights you get easy in SA ^^ all super markets have them. The 220 plug in and auto start with a power failure, needs no manual switching at all, easy and cheap solution. If you have Autos.. running a veg light just makes sense, but isn't also imperative.

Compost heap! All you do is dump all your green waste (lawn cutting, drop leaf, what ever organic material) and kitchen waste on a more shady spot in your garden. Rest the micro organisms will do and you end up with very good black soil. Is a bit to fine to use directly, might suffocate your young roots, mix it with Perlite and you have already a awesome medium to plant. Perlite costs a little, the soil is free.. Cycle is about 6 months.. what ever you drop on top, comes out as soil further down around 6 months later. Needs to kept moist to work.

As Eskom just had me down.. made a pic of the 144 running.. as you see.. doesn't need much as soon as the Gelatos flower, I dump the next 10 seeds in the glass. The 8 Autos have just to endure ^^ I ran into my 1000w generator.. not starting, but I might service it to keep the Ts3000s going too. Sheet says, they draw 480 max.. so 2.. might be a close call but 1 for sure. Generator is digital output, so the electricity is hopefully clean enough to run those lights.. will find out over the weekend... they state clear on the lamp.. only regulated power as input. The 12v battery also runs the fans for the TS-3000's to keep their cool, i turn those off during power failure. Nice lights, they make light.. but what makes a lot of light, creates heat. If you think into getting those.. they need their own fan and will bring heat. I had a 144 running in a 1.2x0.6 (for a home size tent, i would go for that size, easiest to reach each plant.. and you get 8 autos in) without any extraction fan going, just opened all exits and put mosquito netting in. Fan for inside circulation.. never went over 26, as long as the room was not over 26. So the 144 isn't really creating that much heat. Nice lamp.. would be my recommendation for a beginner to start and doesn't uses to much electricity either.

If the person doesn't want to get stoned.. just sleep better and anxiety relief, try a Harlequin!

White Widow Auto, indoor.. about 3 weeks out

I should say.. from my opinion and growing experiences, i call myself a intermediate grower. I live at a really windy spot.. good to have no issue with spider mites, but still, not helping with keeping things on the plant I pull my hat in front any hobby grower reaching 30% with outdoor.. i fail miserably with outdoor. looks nice but never reaches my indoor potency. Strangely I also have way less hassle to determine when to harvest indoor. Also a short note to the hydro tent.. my better half send me shopping before I finished ^^ Not that you think I am a god walking among mortals. The system isn't perfect yet and I blew 42 pristine seeds on the software so far but standing at 42 dead plants since December.. so fingers crossed, I have a working setup by April. Last time I was at Brackenfell, Hydroponics, had a chat with the guys, they would even consider to offer it, once it runs smooth. As mentioned, Post Office is driving me nuts have a order i made in October and still wait for for my new set of measuring pumps. They should finalize my mixing tank and give the exact amounts I need. So that tent is not listed.. as is more killing things right now hehehe The battery backup runs smooth since beginning of January. Can really recommend that and the cost.. if you need the light, yes, bit harsher ^^ but battery and inverter are 3000 Rand.. a batch of new seeds ^^ really worth it. With the Mars 144 you still have the option to run it flowering mode too and use the space till the end. So for tents 1.2x0.6 to 1.2x1.2 (2 lights), they are a great choice (in regards to eskom). Flowering stage, I prefer full spectrum boards. Something else I forgot to mention in regards to Eskom.. you actually do not need a grow light to cheat the light receptors on your plant and keep the inner clock. You get those battery driven LED lamps at PnP, bulky little blocks. you can plug them into the power socket and they go automatically on, if the plug has no power anymore. 2 of those per 1.2x1.2 area, fix installed pointing down, should keep your plants inner light circle on! I just had the stuff anyhow to run the veg light as usual. But just enough light inside your tent should work. If your wallet doesn't has the load.. that is the cheapest option to show Eskom the finger.. and they activate without any switching by them self. Plants will just not grow during that time. So.. enough typing ^^ time to pamper the babies Pic of one of my out door plants from last year.. looked good.. was okisch to smoke (Jack Herer)
