  1. I agree. I'm using soil from a guy on one of our local groups and it's pretty damn good. Packaging, labeling, ingredients list all there. People drive past him to the nursery to get ' craft soil '. You know why? Marketing the likes of us will battle with. Wether it's nutes or soil it's science, one formula will be better than the other. But who is to say the top brand is better without actually comparing it to a lesser brand who does no have a good marketing head. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  2. It's weekend which means update time. I just realized I didn't put a pic up of the last harvest. Pic #4 is a combined Glamberry, Jack Berry and a small Durban Poison harvest. Pic #1 is the lady that gets carried out and in everyday moments before my 17month old decided to take it for a walk and dragged it down the reservation road. Ok so that's in the drying cabinet now. Pic #2 & #3 is the last one of the 6 that started this journey. Lost one at germination, 2 to being male, 4th = 40g dry, 5th is in the drying cabinet and number 6 is flourishing in the shade house. So without knowing what sex the first one would have been means a female hit rate of 50% plus out of 6. I'm happy @Bay Seeds, thanks for the opportunity. Sleep time for this thread until weighing time. Till then buds here's to 2021 [emoji109] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  3. You breaking my heart bud. Where you based, maybe I must venture out of the world of 'soil and water' and try nutes. I'm Cape Town side. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk Sorry, just read top of thread. JHB. Dang, good luck finding a home bud.
  4. I agree, we the baby sitters. Got two going myself, first two didn't germinate but then neither did other strains I did with that batch. Lost 10 seeds and still have no idea what went wrong. Any way they started slow but have picked up pace now. Considering planting the rest outdoors. Well behaved babies @Bay Seeds, your kids are always welcome to the reservation.

  5. I was gonna mention possible watering issues. Or maybe is a sigh of relief 2020 is so last year. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  6. Hey bud. Dimensions you looking at is 900 x 900 x 1600. Yeah so I'm limited to 800mm plant height, 1100mm including a 10l pot. Had to put up a flowering tent for the big ladies, like you say, man space issues. As my wife and my family business has not worked since February we have time on hand so the plants are marched outdoors at 6am then back inside 6pm. Don't think I'll find a better light in SA Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  7. So I've had some locals setting up house in my plants during yard time. @Totemic seem to be their plants of choice. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  8. During my high school year's all I wanted to do was go travel. My grandfather who had been round the world a few times said to me one day ' travel your own country first before you go travel the world '. I did just that. In the days when hitchhiking was still safe'ish, my thumb took me from the East coast to the West coast, Cape Town to Harare. I hit the road to the airport with 180 pounds in my pocket and returned 10 years later. It's kinda hard to explain but visiting those small dorpies and farm towns in SA prepared me for a lot overseas. I got into indoor growing beginning of lockdown thanks to reservation moonshine and the bug has bitten. I've decided to travel SA once again before I venture overseas but this time it is for the quality and service I believe is available in this country. Everything about this grow is Proudly South African. The setup: CABINET. Wife's custom shelving converted into a cabinet. LIGHT'S. @growopz QB75'S. 1 x QB 3000k/4000k. 1 x QB 3333k. 2 x 15w Osram led strips 4000k. Rigged and ready. Once again@growopz came to the rescue. Approached him with a budget and what I had and a plan was made. SOIL. JouMaSeSoil. Coco - Peat Perlite Vermiculite Basalt Rock Dust Michorizzae Diatomaceous Earth Bone Meal Dolomite Lime Worm Castings Kelp Meal Microbial Tea Ph tested at 6.5. Soil is made by a Cape Town local and so far so good. SEEDS. @Bay Seeds. Bruce Banner 3 x TNR F1. Glamberry x Lemon Jedi OG. Master Lester ( Dr Grinspoon x Lemon Jedi OG ). @Totemic. Choc Gelato x Ghost Train Haze. Choc Gelato x Slurricane. @Daggafontein Genetics. African Buddha. Big shout out to all of the above for making this possible and look forward to the journey of finding those South African breeder's and gem's. Next year bud's.[emoji109] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  9. Everyone's to scared to collect. Cops may think you transporting homebrew.[emoji57] Cape Town side unfortunately bud. Have a good end of year. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  10. Do they stink when you squish them? Half remember a recent conversation and stink bugs was the topic. You'll know when you squish. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  11. 70g wet withered down to 40g in the curing jar, that's including me dipping my fingers in the cookie jar. Not sure how that stands for harvest off one plant, anyone care to share if that's good, bad or just plain shite. Great smoke and taste. Pic 1 outdoor one has started flowering and once again I'm not sure. Is it to early or normal. @Bay Seeds any take on this. Pic 2&3 the one that gets carried in and out of a dark room daily is setting herself up for a bumper crop by the looks of it. Enjoy what you can of the rest of the year. Pull out the Peace pipe and see you on the flip side. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  12. Pic 1&2 outdoor x Ghost Train Haze looking healthy. Pic 3 x Slurricane looking healthy. Got some more germinated for indoor but those are been moved to a combined diary. Keep those eyes peeled. @Totemic I'm looking forward to the outdoor end result as this has been a straight forward hassle free grow so far. [emoji109][emoji1690] Next year Peeps, keep it safe.

  13. Greetings and welcome like minded smoker. You in the right place. I silently followed the forum for some time and getting ready for my 3rd indoor grow now. Good advice and sometimes criticism pushing you in the right direction. Enjoy the journey.[emoji1690] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  14. Nine and a half weeks of flowering and I decided to do the deed. I don't have the means to check when the optimal time for harvest is so I went with average flower time and then added some. Bud development seemed to have come to a standstill as well. Small, sticky and super smelly is what she is.[emoji109] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  15. Sorry guys. This diary is been moved to a combined grow diary. Keep the eyes peeled and catch you on the flip side. Plants looking good though.[emoji1690] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  16. Pic #1 the Ghost Train Haze cross. Pic #2 the Slurricane cross. Both plants loving the shade house and as with the other plants these will not be moved again. The roots will be punching their way through the bottom of the pot into the earth soon. Standing about a meter tall at approximately 6 weeks with only sunshine and water. Got some more germinated for the indoor grow but those have found themselves in the queue for a combined grow so there may be a duplicate diary now and again. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  17. So I forgot to take a last pic before harvesting after nine weeks flowering. 70g after a wet trim and using the brown paper bag drying method. Down to 45g after two days of drying. Some nice fruity aromas coming out of the bag. Pic #2 is of the shade house baby standing at 1300mm including pot. Looks like she's getting ready to go into pre flower. This one will not be moved for photo shoots anymore as the roots are punching their way through the bottom of the pot into the earth below. Pic #3 is of the one that started flowering outdoors standing at 1400mm including pot and now gets moved into it's darkroom, out at 6am and back at 6pm. Gonna have to make a higher flowering area maybe, wife's gonna love that. I'm expecting a decent little yield from these two. The Glamberry x Lemon Jedi OG seems to be heading towards a hassle free grow as well @Bay Seeds but that's another diary appearing soon. Keen to see what's up your sleeve next @Bay Seeds.

  18. Hey bud. Looking good. Being my lazy stoner self. How long did you flower those girls for. I think mine are ready and then I'm not sure, then I think what the fcuk and then I'm not sure again. I'm week 8ish on flower and really not sure. What was your I'm harvesting now moment looking at the plant. I don't have a loupe so that's not an option. Any advice appreciated.

  19. So funny bud. I'm busy using Jou Ma se Soil at the moment. Drive safe, get high safe and enjoy @Bay Seeds this holiday. [emoji1690] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  20. Mmm some sort of problem loading pics again. I'll try again later. Believe me when I say ballistic. Been walking around with this huge grin since I saw them this morning. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  21. What can I say. These babes are going ballistic. About a month old and nothing but water. [emoji1690][emoji12]@Totemic. Do you perhaps have one or two of these beans left over@Totemic? Want to add it to my library of local breeder's. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  22. Would love to plonk them in the ground but my permaculture area far from ready. So they will live this one out in 20l pots. Pity. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
  23. If it's a sprinkle on top of the soil, very little. I use one of those small bags off the supermarket shelf mixed into 60l. I don't think you can overdo it but then I haven't tried. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
