2 weeks later and the females are settling in well. Structure forming quite well. Currently 70cm and considering if I want a conifer or if I'm going to top at 1m. The bottom pic is the male I chose out of the males. The same bushy structure is one of my selection criteria. He is going into force flower for pollen collection now before summer is out.

It was in the seedling mix to long , have a look at the grow diary and you will see it's been hungry for a while. That coupled with transplant shock is your issue. You can not wash nutrients out unless stated by 420sa you out huge amounts of water . 2ml per L biobizz with a 25% runoff to start , folior feed with Epsom at 1g per L and give her time to root properly and she will recover nicely . Good advice given by 420sa on aact and the microbes . Sorry it cant be a longer answere , busy day

Hi All, I must say, following this forum has reignited my passion for wanting to kickstart a long lost favorite tradition. Mozambican seeds [emoji271] have just began to shoot & I am pretty much amped about getting my plant up and running. I have grown a few years back , when I was a bachelor. Got married , quit the habit on a whole and now eager to get back on track. Finding a dealer is too taxing and stressful, hence the urge to grow my own. Hope I get to harvest by Xmas [emoji51] I welcome any advice :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry missed him saying that. I'm not so sure about the nutrients being flushed away... organics doesn't work like that unless you are flooding that medium and getting huge amounts of runoff. Either the mg isn't there to begin with or there's a PH lockout. I'm sure there's meant to be a good deal of mg in the mix though, enough for young plants at least. The notion that you need to be feeding now is false in my view. I don't see the need to feed plants at all actually during veg. I still haven't fed a drop of bottled nutrient to my organic plants 68 days into flower now so it's possible Perhaps your soil needs a microlife boost as well @YourStonedBuddy. Not sure if you may have experienced the same but I've heard about guys getting their ff soil and its dry. A dry soil is a microbe-less soil. Best you brew an AACT or get some EM in there. Will help with your PH too Get some worm castings and give your soil a top dress with that. Then use it for your AACT's too

Howzit guys I must apologise profusely for the lack of proper updates lately. It's a mix of being insanely busy, having too much on my plate and a touch of laziness on the side It's been a big struggle with heat here. Sometimes my canopy temps sit at 36!! and that was on a mildly hot day.... As a result I'm sure it has costed me yield with some fox tailing evident and just general signs of heat stress. Not too bad but evident, especially on the Blue Kush .... I do have a portable AC but I need to figure out how to work it with my current setup. I can't have the AC in the tents so it needs to sit outside the tents... then I need to figure out a way to get the temperature sensor of the AC into my flower tent so the temp can be somewhat regulated... I'm only concerned about the heat in my flower tent. Anyways here are the plants. Taken last Thursday. PO CBD #1 - She had started swelling in this pic and is well into her swell at the moment. She'll be getting the chop as soon as the swell ends. Really nice sweet citrus smell coming off these PO CBD's. PO CBD #2 - still has a way to go by the looks of it. Bit worried about these buds being airy due to the heat. PO CBD #3 Hydro - also still a long way to go. Her and the PO #2 are pretty much on par. ASD Hydro - still by far the pick of the lot. She's nearing the end of her swell. Pungent fuel like smell coming off her, true to the name. Waiting anxiously for a portable microscope to arrive so I can check those trichs. She's put on a fair amount of mass, a lot more I reckon if the temps were ideal. BK Hydro - the flop of the lot. I hate this plant and I think she knows it lol its a real pity cos she smells amazing, like fruity candy. The buds have started stretching(due to high heat), the leaves claw no matter how much I flush. Utterly full of shit. I'll give her a last chance with her clone in organic soil that has gone into flower now too (see pic further down) but if she under performs again I won't be keeping the BK around. BK Clone Organic A recent addition to the tent. She has been topped and supercropped to slow her progress to allow the organic sour diesel to catch up to her. She's in my soil mix. ASD Clone Organic - Also just added to the tent. Let's see how these two do against the hydro siblings. They will have an advantage as I will be sorting out that heat issue. Im sure the next update will be when I'm most likely chopping the ASD and PO #1 Till then

I know this is an old thread, but these are some sativas from seeds that locals gave me - I dubbed them sativa Maximus! from 2016

You guys really shade your plants? I have never had to shade plants. If they have enough water and enough nutrients available those plants pray to the sun in 46 degree heatwaves and grow so strong...

Good to have you aboard @Breadinator !

Cricky thats huge! I have about 7 plants outside all in pots.Keeping them low by topping though.Dont want them to grow over the wall.

Week 7 of a flux trained plant

Thanks for the advice guys Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

Hi Cannafam, i’m a semi-experiences grower that’s starting to venture into high-end LED growing Got some nice genetics on hand and excited to share my journey with you all Love me a good Sativa but an Indica smack is never discouraged! Good to greet you all and looking forward to chats

Hi guys, i'm a long time toker but only started my first grow outdoor beginning of October. 2018 Searched around for weed forums and joined an international forum until I found this local is lekker forum. Hope to learn a lot from this site!!

So, you see in a few photos were the leaves are curling upwards at the edges, this is called canoeing, and happen when the plant is very hot. If move them to the shade you’ll see the leaves will go back to normal. @Hochymama did make a good suggestion with the shade cloth as this will also protect them when there is hail and from some insects. It would also help with the sun a tad.... that being said @Totemic is also right, because I do the same. My seedlings are outside while I’m at work all day and they survive! But if you’re worried you should add some mulch (maybe perlite) to the top of your soil in attempt to keep the soil cooler... you can also provide insulation for the pots so that they don’t over heat and cook the roots, this will also help preserve the micro organisms in the soil from cooking. But the plants, with enough nutes and water, should be fine! But if your worried about it the cover the babies up! I don’t think it will harm them. At the end end of the day you should make a decision and go with it. Maybe try one with shade cloth and try one without - we live and learn! Everyone is different good luck!

Thanks for joining@Greener Pastures I'm afraid you definitely wont be enjoying some of your homegrown come xmas. Flowering takes around 8-12 weeks, some strains more

I found some balls last night, so i have 1 male out of the bunch. Which is good news at least.

If you get yourself some 40% shade cloth as we are in for a brutal summer this year.... Build a teepee structure round them for now with shade cloth till they bigger or you have a bigger shade cloth structure.

Should i get some shade cloth for them? Or should direct sunlight be fine? Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk

@YourStonedBuddy & @Pvt_sToNeR you guys been watching the latest season of SP? They killing it. Tegridy farms

Missed the shout but looking real good, bamboo stakes are your friend when top heavy...

Glueberry OG 4 weeks in

Awe, welcome ou!

This plant makes the OCD happy

Just a pretty picture of my 6 week old Black Domina girl....

Good grows gents. Do it for the right purposes!

This is Auto Alien Sour Diesel Kush 6 and a half weeks into flower. CMH 315w Light. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

Thanks very much Took these photos a week or so ago, will post updated photos asap

Welcome man! Keen to see what you've been up to

I have home made ones from a local supplier that pump out PAR and Lumens got 2 x 60w 1 x 300w multi spectrum( 120-150w actual draw) and 1 x 60 quantum board LED. No brand names like Mars etc but they hit the spot better than most people I knows more “premium” lights

Welcome. What type of LEDs do you have? Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

A little lst, but because it's an auto, I don't want to mess with her too much. 75 days isnt quite enough to get a proper training technique going. I could be wrong. I'm Old school, this is my first auto. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

If i dont enter il never know if my plant is any good. I decided on planting Lambs Bread strain. Will be my first official grow. And i believe that my strain will become Greatness. As did Bob Marley. May his spirit bless me. Keeping it Green

Good luck man! Hows everything going? i too am putting an auto outdoors this season

Keen to see this strain as I have 3 of those beans at home. What are you planning in terms of training her?

First proper small SCROG attempt, Master Kush and Cali orange advice is welcome, thanks

Welcome bud! hope you enjoy your stay

Welcome @Breadinator May your roots grow long and strong!

Fungal gnats are more a pain in the ass then and actual problem. If you spraying weekly which you should be doing with a good IPM that should keep them under control. If you have mites, that however is a nightmare to get rid of and could possibly really set your plant back. Hope I'm wrong. Growing outside you really need to have a good preventive maintenance plan going, hence a IPM pack or similar.

The sharp sand is what led me to Diatomeus earth(DE): " Diatomaceous earth kills bugs with the help of its razor-sharp particles. The diatoms that make up diatomaceous earth have microscopic razor-sharp edges. Although not harmful to large, strong surfaces, these tiny razor blades are detrimental to ants, bed bugs, fleas and other crawling insects. " It also is commonly used as filter agent in the beverage industry Thanks, I'll try the perlite on one and the DE on the other. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

looking lekker there.

Those plants are looking phenomenal ! Congrats, they look very promising. The frosting on that Sour Diesel is insane! What a sight! I have also boticed CBD strain to be slightly slower , or at least to appear like they are falling behind. I agree with you, it must be genetics. What are you main observation between your organic and hydro grow ?

Great looking setup. Interested to see what you can put out Im busy starting to look into LED myself for veg. Theres a local chinese shop near me, the place is huge, and they sell a whole bunch of LED lights. None of which I know will be well suited for growing. In one aisle there are these boards that kinda look Qb board related but I know fuckall about LED setups so I could be completely wrong. Are these boards usable? They're about a meter long Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Yep they're all working, it is the wire blocking it.

Are all the diodes working? Board on the left looks like 3 might be out or is it just a wire blocking them from the camera?

I say quantum boards but they're from China, but they have legit LM561C S6 top bin diodes (3500K) (confirmed with microscope) The picture obviously doesn't show the true brightness of it. I will be adding deep and far red when I have some spare cash for Emerson effect. May I ask which vendor you used on ailibaba? Also how much did you pay in duties percentage wise? How long did delivery take? Are you happy with the built quality? Sorry for all the questions but thanks in advance

Can't wait too see what those quantum boards do. Postie vibes seems like you have loads of experience
