Budtender

@CreX solid advice. A This is what I got from the corner store. Gonna mix it just now and give it to her and keep you guys posted on progress

I hear you brother. Respect Yeah Burly I agree. Growing has to be fun. Will ask around about LST for sure. The okes on this sites are legend bro. This forum rocks Thanks G! yoh this light is real sunny. I call him Sunnyboy I even got sunburnt! hahaha. It really helps alot to have proper lights wow!

Good looking out bru. Now that you mention it I do see alot of bigger leaves covering up smaller bud sites. LST is something I'm itching to try on her but I'm still too much of a noob (miaaauw) It may be too late too start now but next run I'll be going with photo's and work on my training game seen some insane plant training around here man and I'm eager to get in the action

@Burly thanks bro. Much appreciated. Yeah these are tough times we're living in mate. I reckon the world needs good weed now more than ever lol

Smell? what smell Mr Officer??? Hahahaha thanks alot man! My first grow I still have lots to learn bro

Hey howzit guys Finally got some action and things are starting to smell Finishing week 6 going into week 7. Passing the halfway mark. I got my baby a new home. Previous space was too cold and higher risk of pests chowing her so I went and got a grow cab and modified it slightly. Hooked up some cheap fans to circulate and extract air and she seems happy. Otherwise, not much happened during the last few weeks. Still feeding just pH balanced water and keeping up the 18/6 light schedule. I'm seeing new growth looking normal and older leaves showing signs of deficiency or maybe light burn? Will start feeding nutes soon. Have to get by with EHG nutes in pH balanced water according to lockdown budget. Shoutout to@Master_G your lights are fire bro!! Really efficient. Real quality material Below are some recent pics... please feel free to comment or question. Any advice welcome Peace .

@Burly yeah thanks man glad this thread could help amd great grow you have there! This is my first grow and its an auto I'm trying to stick to the basics as much as I can. FF soils is the choice of many growers from the grow diaries I read and people I've spoken to. A lot of people say too "hot" for straight planting. I honestly expected much more burn from the soil but its only those 2 leaves affected so I'm not stressing too much. Like you I'm also suspecting high Nitrogen but I have only been giving Ph 6.5 water for 3 weeks and the soil should have some nutrients left. I'm ditching the synthetic nutes and I'm going to start giving Biobizz bloom only for this grow once flowering starts. I will get some Fish mix as another possible addition for future grows . Wanna see if I can get my hands on some mollasses this week and see what it does. Lots of guys around here have had great results with other nutes beside organic one's using FF soil. You can get great results either way but the choice is yours really bro. Like @Totemic said, MKP is his go to so thats also an option. I need to read up more on MKP though it seems like a good product to use. Everyone has their own growing style I guess just my 2cents

Howzit la familia Quick update. So far so good. Following through on some solid advice from the more experienced growers around and keeping it simple. Not much happening. Still just giving dechlorinated water with Ph of 6.5 once or twice a week. 18 First leaves turning slightly yellow but otherwise she seems quite happy. Older leaves have this weird curling thing going on. No idea what it might be but as far as I can see it's not affecting her negatively so I'm happy What she looks like after 3 weeks. More updates coming soon. Shabba

@CreX @SkunkPharm @TotemicGreat info gents shot a lot! Im totally new to the growing game and the guys on this site has really helped me alot. Will keep the community posted on this grow. For now all I can do is sit back and let her do her thing

next level Makes total sense. Never would have thought about molasses. brilliant idea. thanks man ! interesting approach you have there. different strokes for different folks. I like that.

yo shot for the info bro sounds like feeding inorganic nutrient salts to soil will do more harm than good? I'm trying to keep it as natural as possible so will defs be going organic with this grow I reckon since plants are living , the soil it's in should be as well

@SkunkPharmGreat stuff. Thanks man. I was originally planning to grow in a hydro bubbler bucket thats when I got the EHG nutrients. Will anything bad happen if a person should use EHG nutes in organic soil?

Wassup 420 fam. Started my first indoor grow about 2 weeks ago. Not much happening at the moment... Strain- Original Orange Bud Auto from Biltong and Buds. Medium- Freedom Farms Classic Pot Size- ± 13 L Grow Space- ± 50x50x 180cm Lighting- 120w QB from @Master_G Light schedule- 18/6 Nutes- EHG Grow, Micro and Bloom Prayer Soaked seed for 12 hours then into jiffy pellet. Germination was slow and first true leaves were a bit on the yellow side. Not sure if its due to cold CPT weather or bad genetics. I'm just happy Stella got her groove back. Watering with only dechlorinated tapwater at pH 6 every 2-5 days Entering week 3 now and she's coming along nicely. Can I start feeding nutrients at this stage or should I wait another week or so?

...(slow clapping)... Epic grow. @Bospatrollie2 take a bow fella!

@Bakstein420 got more or less 60x60 grow area. And thanks for the link that website is very helpful Was looking at these lights from GrowOpz https://growopz.com/products/qb-130 https://growopz.com/products/qb288v2-clone-120w unfortunately sold out till further notice

@Bakstein420 . I have some tools and wires laying around so Im quite keen to go the DIY route This one caught my eye. This should be enough to grow 1-2 plants right?

@Crex you're probably right man. I should put up around 3k for a decent light. Makes sense that once that aspect is taken care of I can focus on actually raising my ladies. While searching for a decent light I came across many different brands, models and wattages. To be honest, its all rather confusing at this point in time. Does lets say a 1000w light really give you 1000w worth of light or is that just the max capacity of the light? IYHO, Is there any specific brand and model I should look out for that can be trusted? Im taking your advice and looking at it as an investment rather than an expense. Im going to have to smoke less for the next few weeks but all for a good cause lol Thanks for the help bro and the epic Goku analogy. ur tops man! its much appreciated. Jimmy

@CreX thanks buddy! im not really sure. I want to start with 1 plant. maybe the hydroponic route with coco perlite mix in maybe a 25- 30l pot indoors and hand water? Still trying to figure out which LED light would be best for 1-2 plants though. budget of around 2k for a light will do my best to start growing by next week sometime. What strains would you recommend for first timer like me? @SkunkPharm Hospitality Management china. Was working as bartender travelling alot now I'm settling down as wannabe budtender and going back to my roots so to speak. lol

Greetings all I'm quite chuffed to be part of the 420SA community. Been on the forum for a few weeks now. Mostly reading and things before attempting any actual growing. Much impressed by skill and knowledge of the lads here! Soon as I start my first grow I will let you guys in. Back to the books for me happy growing l!
