Thanx for the kind words man. But I can't take credit for this one. A lady very close to my heart does pottery and made this little awesome 1 hitter bong and as I was sending @Weskush a seed I thought I might as well fill up the package. If you are really interested in one pop me a message then we can hook you up. I learnt how to use Pudo and makes sending items really cheap and affordable. R50 for locker to locker and they have a good footprint across SA. Have an awesome Friday.

Smoke it up man. True that we all have so much to be thankful for. We live to share

Hey man. Speaking of local breeders. Have you ever worked with Motherland genetics and what do you think of their crosses and work? I currently have the Purple Dosidos and Sunset Sherbet S1 seedlings going...

Hey bud. Hope you're good. Have you ever thought of grafting different strains onto one bonsai plant? A buddy of mine sent me this reddit screenshot and I thought it might be right up your alley for a next experiment.

Hi folks. So I came across this exciting article of the first company to get a licence to produce, package and distribute cannabis and related products. They are also looking at entering the psilocybin space which I am very excited for. The company, Cilo Cybin, is also looking at an IPO locally and internationally. I definitely want to find out more about this company but it seems like they got their shit together and also have the capital and expertise to enter into this market while it is in its infancy. Might be a clever move to buy in if the company's strategy looks sound. Enjoy the read. https://businesstech.co.za/news/technology/515352/cannabis-company-plans-listing-after-being-handed-first-rights-to-grow-and-package-weed-products-in-south-africa/

Oh wow thanx man. And I thought I knew about most of our local suppliers. Another nice one on the list now. Thank you very much.

That's an insane discount. Wow. Was it through trophy seeds or african smoke?

Yes yes yes. This is some fire man. I hope you get some wicked pheno expressions in that batch. It's good to do a group buy on these type of seeds as they are crazy expensive to just buy yourself. Please keep us posted man I would love to see those ladies in their full glory. All of the best brother man

Yeah what the Dr did to those Headbangers was exceptional. With every grow we learn and hone in on the skills that will make us happy campers. So what you planning on popping next?

Fuck me bro.. I can see you and @Dr. Green read the same grow bible Epic scrog work my man. You can be very proud of that grow

@Pants check those roots my boy @Prom you probably grow some of the fattest nugs on this forum. Very well done man. Great defoliation and proper balance on nutes. Will use what I have learnt from you on my next grow.

The RH in the dome plays a big role. I followed your advise of lowering it by leaving the lid slightly ajar as my dome doesn't have any vents. When I used this process the rooting success ratio moved from the odd 90% to 100% The tops that I clone with are also relatively small reaching about 10 to 15 cm. With about one to two nodes above the cut that I fully remove with only the top tip remaining and those fan leaves at the tip getting a proper trim down. I also don't really mist or spray my dome too much within that 2 week period probably only about 4 to 6 times after the first initial spray down. Happy cloning my friend and hoping this little bit of input can help you knock those top cuttings out of the park

Hi CreX. I primarily only clone with tops due to the mainline that I run. No special process and close to 100% rooting success rate. I cut the tops and keep them in water for a couple of minutes till I am done with the one plant. I then use Dynaroot rooting powder and dip the stem in it. (My rooting powder is also probably 6 to 7 years old) Then over to peat cubes. I do remove quite a lot of leaves and any nodes that are above the cut so as to allow for a smaller leaf foot print. If the stem is relatively big the rooting might just take a little bit longer. The Twisted Helix cut that I gave @PsyCLown was a top cutting.

One of the most informative (and sad) posts I have seen on this forum. Especially on a pest that's not very well documented. Sad for your financial knock but happy that you have seemed to find the trick that tames the beast. I hope your troubles are over friend and that many more grows can prosper without those fuckers.

Fuck me. That's some good expression of the strain no doubt. Proper fire going there my good man.

Will keep you posted man. I will pop you a pm and then I can maybe arrange to send you a seed as I have 5 fems and only intend on growing one. Let's just hope my germination rate holds solid

Nice man. Excited to see how it pans out for you. @The Grass Baas grew out a Critical outdoor once and it was one of the smoothest outdoor smokes I have ever had. I am currently germinating the White Afghan Skunk by OSG and its supposed to be a very close representation of the Super Skunk strain. If you were able to get to Pretoria I would shoot you a cutting anytime. This is how they describe the strain: " The cut of Super Skunk used is a high yielding cultivar from the 90's. This is original SS, and not the watered down stuff you see these days. Old school skunk funk with notes of ripe mango. Unfortunately this cut of Super Skunk does not take well to pollen, and doesn't throw a lot of seeds. So an Old Widow male was used to revitalize the line. Old Widow was chosen to keep the traits of this stellar Super Skunk intact. Don't be fooled by hype. A proper cut of Super Skunk is pure gold. Some of the best smoke I've ever had."

Hi folks. So finished with the chop on day 73 and 74. Now the tent is empty and time for a decent clean before the next batch goes in. I will post a final entry with some bud shots and a smoke report once the ladies have been trimmed and jarred for some curing. Hanging and chilling...

Hi folks, Currently on day 72 of flower and started chopping down the rest of the clones (1 Palomino and 3 Twisted Helix). The remaining mother plants will be getting the chop either on Friday or Saturday. This time round I had to opt for a semi wet trim as I had the PM issue. The Palomino clone is my favourite plant I have grown to date. Just love her looks,smell and resistance.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated

Thank you very much. This info helps a lot

Cool thanx man. Do you now the ratio?

Wow! This looks like an outdoor party I would like to join!! Beautiful photo with an amazing view of the cosmos well done

Hey man. What is the ratio of Epsom Salts foliar to be used for cal mag deficiency?

Hey bro. Yes I use the BioBizz line. I think I might have prolonged the grow feed and strength a bit too much so will keep an eye on that next round. First round pulled the N too early, this time round too late. So hopefully the sweet spot will be achieved in the near future.
