Well, harvest done and dusted. Wet trimmed, dried for 9 days, and burped for a further week. Happy with yield and bag appeal. First time I experienced how phenotypes differ. On my outdoor plants we share seed packs, so I only ever get to see one plant per strain. With this indoor run I had 8 plants from one seed pack and the difference between the best and the worse plant is quite significant. Not only from yield perspective but bud quality and looks too. Always knew this was the case, just a wow moment seeing it first hand. Anyway, here are some of the last pics I took. Two weeks before harvest. And some pics of drying. Had to take over the guest bathroom and dining room table.. Wife was not impressed! And lastly the end product Now on to run two. Unfortunately running all 8 pheno's again, as yet to decide which to keep permanently. Will only be able to make that call in two weeks after proper cure. The second run coming along nicely. Will flip in a week and a bit. Can only hope the loadshedding stabilizes somewhat by then. Plan is to reduce popcorn to minimum.. will up the lights from 2 x 600w to 2 x 1000w.. that is what the room was ultimately designed for. Keep safe!

Sweet setup!

Update: did a major defoliation two days ago. Really impressed by how they took it. Maybe a bit late doing it towards the end of week 4, was a bit concerned and still learning the indoor ropes. Not something I would normally do with outdoor plants. Day two of week 5 and I have high hopes! Lowered the lights quite a bit too.. still experimenting with height.

Update time Nearing end of 4 week since flip. Flower has really started to come on nicely in the last 7 days. Any temp advice..? Conflicting advice on the web regarding ideal and acceptable temps during flowering. Obviously don't want to waste eskom on heater if not really necessary. 20 - 23 with lights on during the night 18 - 19 with lights off during the day

I hear you guys.. for me, anyone who sells something and it turns out they misrepresented their product should be called out. If I compare to the vaping industry in RSA.. there is a forum, ECIGSSA, and most of the top vendors in RSA are listed there. If anyone of those vendors does something sketchy they are immediately called out and taken to task. It may sound harsh, but the result after years of transparent opinion and debate is the most customer orientated, competitive and 'fair' industry I have ever dealt with. You can buy anything from any of the listed vendors and you know that you will get what you paid for. Yes, the cannabis industry is not there yet and still in its infancy, but I believe that by not calling out vendors from the get go sets a precedent and expectation in customers minds that it's okay to be ripped off here and there or that it's 'my' fault for not doing adequate research. Yes, do your research, but is 420SA not part of that research and should we not actively contribute? And with something like seeds the foundation of any transaction lies in trust. Apart from a sealed breeder pack, you have to have some form of trust that the seeds are what they purport to be. And even with sealed packs I fear there will be more and more 'fakes' doing the rounds. Pardon the rant, I just have a bee in my bonnet when it comes to dishonest vendors. And a part of me enjoys seeing them named and shamed

F@ck them. Keep naming and shaming. At the end of the day they are hurting the reputation of local breeders such as yourself.

Hey.. kinda disagree with "not mention names".. is it not in the communities best interest to name this person/business? I for one would like to know.. will help me avoid him and issues down the line.

Wow... and respect!

Thanks... will update weekly from now. And try and take pictures with a better camera.

Hahaha.. that is the one positive outcome I am banking on! Every cloud.....

Evening @Naughty.Psychonaut 11 days into flower.. Had a hiccup after spraying Tenazole.. used a low dosage as recommended but plants did not take well to it at all. Cost me a two weeks extra veg for them to recover. Lesson learned. Anyhow, they seem to be over the worst of it. Pics at flip Some pics taken Saturday night after swapping the MH bulbs for HPS Planning on doing a big clean up and defol tomorrow night.

They have filled the space nicely. Will flip in the next couple of days after last round of IPM. Took some clones tonight, first attempt so fingers crossed.

They are coming on nicely!

Respect!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, some precision work there! Impressive
