West Coast Vaper Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 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 - PeatPerliteVermiculiteBasalt Rock DustMichorizzaeDiatomaceous EarthBone MealDolomite LimeWorm CastingsKelp 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.

West Coast Vaper Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 SASent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 African Buddha from @Daggafontein Genetics first pic and Choc Gelato x Slurricane and Choc Gelato x Ghost Train Haze from@Totemic. Grow got of to a jumbled start with some planted November and some December but the babies have settled.The BB3TNR from @Bay Seeds was planted earlier and I think I over did it with the LST so the poor plants have taken a knock and are on the mend now.Pics of the rest to follow later.Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Time for an update.Lesson #1 for 2021 is stick to one strain in the cabinet. I did a Damnit Dave and planted what I came to realize are very different growing strain's. Everything has been moved to the shade house and I'll be running individual strain's one at a time.Everything almost set, just waiting on soil then I'll start off with a@Totemic grow.Pic #1 the African Buddha from @Daggafontein Genetics.Pic #2 Choc Gelato x Slurricane on the right and Choc Gelato x Ghost Train Haze from@Totemic on the left. Front one's came from indoors.Pic #3 Master Lester from @Bay Seeds.Pic #4 Glamberry x Lemon Jedi OG from @Bay Seeds. Two on the right started outdoors.Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Update and pic time. For those who don't know this grow was moved to the shade house from indoors. The grow in the cabinet is still 100% South African, a little project pheno hunting GTH#1 x OKC for @Totemic. I'm not sure how to link the thread so some help here please moderators, @CreX, anyone. Thanks in advance. Pic #1. African Buddha 800mm. Pic #2. Master Lester. Pic #3. Glamberry x Lemon Jedi OG. Must say that the plants are enjoying the shade house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 What's in these seeds @Bay Seeds? 1.6m from soil and they just keep on growing. Have to look up to these ladies now. Short chubby one at the back left came from the indoor grow and had a bit of a chop a while back. Very happy plants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 @Daggafontein Genetics African Buddha also looking healthy. Gifted one that was showing signs of being female to a buddy who has decided he wants to grow although he doesn't smoke. Spreading the love. One female and one unknown left with a few seeds in storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite a bit of stretch, probably a bit late to do any training. I hope they flower out nicely. They seem really healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem really healthy.A bit of a stretch I'd say. I've decided my next few grows the plants are gonna be left to do their own thing. I'm quick to jump into something and my grows up to now have been multi strains in one cabinet and me snipping left right and center not knowing what I'm doing. You can imagine the outcome.So for now one strain in the cabinet and no training until I've learnt a bit more about the plant in general.Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 @Bay Seeds Master Lester turned out female. Yay. Looking healthy although they might be a bit on the tall side. What's in those Lemon Jedi's? At least I've seen what it looks like left alone to grow. Next lot will be in the cabinet with some training.

West Coast Vaper Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 CG x Slurricane in the first pic starting to develop some nice size buds.Pic 2 and 3 is the Bruce Banner I thought I had trained to death. I put it in the shade house to die in . She bounced back with nice sticky buds and super sweet aromas.Number 4 is Glamberry x Lemon Jedi OG. Also looking good.Must say all shade house plants are loving the environment.Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
