West Coast Vaper Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I took cuttings from the 3 comp plants. As Murphy would have it, my favorite #3 did not make it cutting wise. So here starts the journey of cutting T2 which is second from the top in the pic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 It's been 4 weeks from photo above to the one's below. She has been put in a 20l PnP fabric bag with FF soil. I have taken a few cuttings from this girl and have ended up with 6 main branches evenly spaced out of pure luck. A bit of LST and I'm gonna try using a net which I bought on the spur of the moment. Net is just for show now. I'm gonna leave the plant for two weeks or so then install the net. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Couldn't help myself, had half an ironing board laying around. Guess I'll try a two tier net. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Potassium deficiency or shock. Tomorrow will be a week since transplant and is in the cabinet permanently. The mercury shot up to 38° in the shade the other day and boy did I battle to keep the cabinet below 31°. So I'm putting the brown leaf tips down to stress. If it's a potassium problem I believe there is not much you can do anyway. Gave a water today with a dash of molasses. Surrounding plants just sharing the awesome @Light It Up and @growopz lights while they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 SCROG it is not. Without getting into the finer details about what makes a SCROG or not this grow is leaning towards using a net for support more than a SCROG. Next time I'll train the plant correctly from the beginning. This cutting I used to take more cuttings and the shape of the plant sent me down this path. I've stretched a 800mm x 800mm net into a 900mm x 900mm cabinet. Squares are to big for my liking (120mm x 120mm) but working. Have another screen (100mm x 100mm squares) which I can adjust the height when the time comes. Last two pics. I know I need to defoliate below the net at some stage. I know there is going to be a growth spurt. Anyone's 2c will be appreciated. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 7 days later. Spent the last week tucking where I can. Not sure if it's the correct way but I'm gonna let her stretch and tuck stems under the net above over the next week and a bit. Still just water and molasses with every other watering. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vaper Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Day 15 of 12/12. She's healthy with no signs of deficiency or pests yet. Very thirsty lady. Scorpions are back not to mention the Cape Cobra's outside. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 she's looking mighty fine brother damn, you know the species of scorpion you got there? you know what they say about those guys, "big pinchers - small venom, small pinchers - big venom" and it looks like that guy got some really small pinchers or is it just out of sight? snakes are spine tingly little freaks of nature, adds to why I like them so much! luckily the cape cobra falls part of the half of the genus that doesn't spit, but still their bite is deadly. their venom contains some potent neurotoxin that'll shut down your central nervous system in just a couple of hours, fisrt thing that'll happen is the nerves in your brain stop telling your lungs what to do and you'll die of respitory paralysis. not cool at all... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the eina scorpion, everybody out here has a paramedic or two on speed dial.Cape Cobra, well. We leave them be. If the population gets too large on the farm and we start seeing them in the shade houses first option is catch and release on a nature reserve up the road. Yes with permission .Last option is death unfortunately.Mole snakes we don't bother about.Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 lol yeah but there's a difference between eina and dead hahah but I understand what you mean! avoid them all I got stung on my toe by a scorpion like 2 years back, luckily not a deadly guy but I wouldn't have known that had I not taken photos... the fucker was in my shoe, but to his defence I was working deeeep in the bush up in the mountains with holes in my vellies! here's the fucker that got me almost every year around this time, when it starts heating up, snakes come out. we had that overpopulation situation with puff adders. some times we'll have to move up to 3 of them on a day! check out this chonker we didn't have too many cobras, though I think I spotted a rinkhals once, but he was gone before I could confirm. we did come across this beautiful dosile little cape cobra one day, usually they scurry off when we spot them, but it seemed this guy wanted some company, he curled up on the rake and just kinda chilled with us for a while. was also quite cold that day, so maybe that slowed him down a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Coast Vaper Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Day 29 12/12. Those damn spider mites. Spotted some on a section of the plant so snipped all contaminated branches and leaves and gave a good dose of Biogro bioneem. Then what looks like a nitrogen deficiency. Some Epson salts added to the last watering while I figure out what to do. Other than that I'm pretty chuffed with my first attempt at using a net. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
