Smeegol Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Introducing our 1st participant on tonight's show " Who's that Rizzla "..... ?? Host- " Hhhocccchhhyyyy Mama "....... HOCHYMAMA- eeerrr merrrr gggeerrrdddd " da nice onesies " .....just as the buzzer goes....... Nah don't mind airing out laundry my friend... Got paranoid begin of 2018 so abandoned 420sa and joined 420magazine as I've been lurking there a long time gaining insight and knowledge before I signed up and started a journal. Also felt like a knaai being a noob amongst some proper ouens and knowledge like this on 420sa so I took my biltong box and made like McDonald and ducked. Gained confidence in myself and my abilities ( Taurus nogal...) following people on the other site gaining understanding and not falling back on a workmen blaming his tools syndrome type of thing... So joined 420mag as " Smeegol " a nickname given to me USA side when I lived there.. So obv searching threads you bump into people with similar interests, methods and styles, unwittingly I found some saffas which I half expected but also the world is so big what are the chances " JH420 and Jimmyzee " enter my life again. So kept quiet with the odd question here and there ... Yesterday JH420 asks on a Saffa thread I'm following ( maby you on there 2, just haven't bumped into yet) if I am Barticle. My bru I almost died- cringe effect at being found out, died laughing for a while... So back as HOCHYMAMA been lurking a cpl weeks as I really like this community we have here, but also i realised when I scampered I'd forgot 420sas post on his adapted " Coots based soil mix" recipe . I know what a c..t right, so after I re-registered as hochymama I started lurking again as I said you ouens are proper fellas , willing to stick you arm out when help/answers are needed but not sure who said " when a new member started aa journal for cpl days , had some nice ladies if I remember correctly left soon after saying this forum is not active enough and maby it was 420sa who explained that we also have lives, smaller community of growers with separate lives away from their lives on here " and I felt the same, but after starting my journal that side I discovered a more confident Hochymama who's quite the laugh I think... Check it out if you so wish " The Jerky Box Project. OG Kush and Haze2. 0" #Smeegol. But you'll see I've got a journal up yesterday here, but started it off centered on OG Kush and bubbler bucket for clones project 1st attempt and Haze2.0 being an auto ( zip experience ) saw my boets 2 autos today and damn they quick 1mnth and 2 weeks maby but full on flowering, will put up pics tomorrow. Want to do gentle lst to maximize harvest.. Guest appearances by my original lst botch up, but looking good. 4 DP bag seed- flux style. My Scrog setup was big and gangly and I would get frustrated with the weaving and threadin of branches, so was researching styles and hit upon a journal called " flux central" took forever to read to where it's at now, but that's where my confidence kicked in, happy with my tools, so gonna learn till my tent arrive in the not too distant cpl months. But that's another project for a later day, journal time before bed. Cheers for your ears and smaaking being back my friend, and I ramble a lot more....

Smeegol Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I forgot to mention how the Scrog would drive me crazy, now Google a flux style grow for a pic of plant, bizarre that that would appeal to my ocd nature as Scrog id consider more work...

Justin Hemp Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well for one I'm glad you're back man, it's been real quiet around here and we need some of that action you bring Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 I think I might be getting mold development on HP2..... Time to defoliate? The leaves on this plant are all VERY close together, I must admit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I wouldn't know what advice to offer, but I'm sure 1 of the guys will know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 That's powdery mildew. If it's only affecting a few leaves remove them before it spreads. Also just in case spray a solution like the recipe in this pic This solution must only be sprayed in veg. An alternative would be neem oil or even milk diluted in water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Alright, I'm gonna cut the affected leaves (there's maybe 3 or 4 in a bunch, all right next to each other) now, as well as just generally thinning the plant out a bit. I suspected that the sheer amount of wind coming through this little part of my house would have prevented the PM, but I guess I was wrong. Is it okay to leave the spraying for tomorrow morning? I feel like doing it at night is a bad idea... EDIT: I think I found the root cause of the PM. There was a nasturtium seedling coming up from the soil which grew straight up into a very dense pack of young leaves. Every leaf (and even parts of the stem) on the seedling was covered in a film of powdery white. I went with a slightly aggresive defoliation strategy. I counted the number of nodes on a given branch, divided by 3 and rounded up, then removed the fan leaves from that many nodes. There is still a shit-tonne of leaves left, so I definitely needed to do this. I'm gonna be inspecting the babies twice a day for PM now. Tomorrow I'll post a pic or two of the new training setup I've just done. (Spoiler: Do your plants even lift? Mine do.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Can't wait for the plant press my friend... In regards to the pm, touch wood I never get, but the milk advice I've heard of interestingly enough, hope you come right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 So, here's some update pics. A few closer pictures of the non-HP plants, since they haven't really gotten any individual attention in a while! For the past little while I've been training branches using lead fishing sinkers. You can see which plants have only just started on this new "exercise routine" because they are bending over like a hurricane is going past. The results have been decent, the plants which have been receiving the weight training for a while now have *BEEFY* stems. Unfortunately this method is not that great, because it's difficult to get fine-grained control. I switched back to my "string and sticks" method for HP2 to try and pull all the branches out from eachother. You might notice that for the first time in a while, you can actually see HP2's main stem through all the leaves. xD If anyone is wondering why EL1 looks like a skeleton, it's because I accidentally topped it a couple weeks ago while trying to do "low" stress training. I've noticed that the EL plants all have the symptom of leaves dying and drying out as they grow. The other seed sources seem to have this to a much lesser degree, or not at all. Not sure if that's just a coincedence, maybe my first batch of soil was worse than my second one? P.S. Check my boss granidilla plant. It stretches out for another ~4 metres on the right side of that picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Love the weight training my friend, but defo boss granadilla.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Any chance you can clone the granadilla for me, she is a beaut and will make a great cover crop hehehe Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Yeah I could clone it for sure JH, that's actually how I got it originally. However, I wouldn't know how to give it to you securely lol. Also, today I'm gonna go pick up a bunch of pallets! I'm leaving real soon. I'll post some pics of the plans for the raised bed later today or tomorrow perhaps. Not sure how raised I can make it though, kinda worried about neighbour's kid peeping over the wall.

Justin Hemp Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Place a makeshift mesh fence of sorts around the box or shoot the fucker with a BB gun lol. Your not in Cape Town are you? Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 JustinHemp420[/member] Yeah I am in CT, check your PMs. ;P Got the pallets. Basically did half a day of hard labour in exchange for these bad boys. 14 of them all in all. I'm gonna draw up my plans and post them shortly.

__DANNY__H__ Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Here's rough plans. I fucked up a bit while drawing but I think it's understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Here's some update photos! I'm emphasizing the huge piles of wood here because I've been tearing pallets apart with a screw driver and a hammer for fucking *ages*, and frankly I'm just impressed with myself. Tomorrow, I plan on actually building the entire thing. Or at least half of it. Will *hopefully* be able to fill it with soil and transplant the babies next weekend at the latest. Classes are resuming so my free time is going to be hitting zero real hard, real quick. HP1 is flowering quite happily. HP2 has started flowering. The accidentaly topped plant has begun to recover, and so is the lady who was previously sharing it's pot with a male. I suppose transplanting plants that are already flowering is... suboptimal? But I think having a little extra root space with some better soil might end up giving me a better end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 My bru, I take my hat off to you, taking pallets apart is no fun. I use tire irons that have a lip on them, or a big ass crowbar. But well done bru, diy is awsome fun... The ladies are looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thanks, Hochy. ;P I'm coming down with some kind of flu or infection in my upper respiratory system... so building today is out of the question. Life is a bit of a bastard, sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeegol Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Morning Danny, what happened to that guerilla spot you had near a stream somewhere... How's the ladies looking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__DANNY__H__ Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Aloha Hochy ;P University has resumed and I'm still sick so I haven't been doing anything for the past couple days other than go there and come back, sleep, rinse/repeat. The guerilla spot was abandoned because the soil was so damp. It clumped together like modelling clay, and the raised beds I made literally sank back into the earth over the course of a couple months. Also bugs for days that ate my seedlings. xD The plants are doing pretty well. I'm probably going to take a couple photos tomorrow. HP1 has beautiful pink stigmata, a real swazi girl. The rest of them are doing okay. The one lady that was previously co-existing with the male has BOOSTED into gear, like it's put on 5 nodes and GIANT (the biggest of all the plants) healthy green leaves. I'm hoping to make some progress on the raised planter today and tomorrow, and finish it before the weekend. I've already got all the wood broken apart from all the pallets, and removed all the nails. I literally just need to cut them to size, then screw it all together.

__DANNY__H__ Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 MUCHOS UPDATES So yesterday I smoked a little joint rolled out of the flowers from my dead male. Got high as fuck, lol. The power of not smoking weed every day. This evening, I took a shroom microdose and then got about half the construction of the raised bed's "floor" done. Photos attached, of course. Tomorrow I'm gonna finish it up. You can see I abandoned that idea with the diagonal planks for the sides. It was going to be way too much effort for, probably, very little reward. I also decided that I want to build two units that are seperate, rather than just a single huge unit, since it'll be easier to move them if I ever need to. Also, have a bunch of pictures of my plants. Tomorrow, if I work quickly enough, they'll be transplanted into a soil mix similar to the one 420SA recommended to me. I'm skipping out on the perlite probably, since my local suppliers are all marking that shit up over 9000% or something (R40 for a 2 litre bag.... with no bulk options.... yeahhhhhh no thanks). Gonna grab a bunch of coco coir instead and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 micro dose on shrooms + build a box.... My bru I played golf on shrooms many years ago, but I like your idea, elevated, nice going Danny_H..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
