I just ordered a 10t version 3.0 press from rosinpress.co.za Lead time 3-4 weeks but i got a R1000 discount due to the wait so a great deal. The owner Sean communicated swiftly and answered all my questions and also gave me some insight. Cant wait to press my own rosin. He will soon have his own pre presses which I'm also very interested in. Deal expires Sunday you can pay 50% deposit now and the rest when your press is ready just drop him a mail.

Hi guys, I have used F1 a couple of time and mainly with Green House Powder feeding and done RDWC with GHE also, for me these two nutrient line are simular, when I did run into problems with F1 it was mostly because I didn't bump the tap water to 0,2-3 EC with Calsium Nitrate from Horti mix, when I had a def/tox problem due to not bumping I flushed with 1EC (mostly problem was in flower) and PH 5,7, like said above I'll put in 1-2 liters and wait so all the coco in the pot gets wet to dissolve any concentrated nutes and then flush again with 3liters, then il flush again the next day and then skip a day and then again. Mostly I didn't know what was wrong but that fixed the problem, after that I can feed 1,8-2 EC from the week 4 and il even go to 2,5 but the main thing was at that high EC is to keep medium moist, any drying out will solidify the nutes and the the pH in medium gets to high ( hope my words make sense). When's that fixed the problem il play with PH between 5,7-5,9. Also I first mix nutes properly in bucket then check and adjust PH then wait and check PH again after 30, I check ph again before next feeding because it tends to differ the next time abit due to temps variables in the grow space, I keep my bucket in grow space, to cold outside tent and don't think plants like the cold water when the medium is grow temps. Hope my experience helps a bit, so we learn together. Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Hi, Thanks for the tag, @SkunkPharm Finishing up backlog on small lights and receiving the rest of our heatsink order from January, next week finally, so am expecting to have the grow bar range back up soon, and new high efficiency veg range after that. If in big rush for a small light, Looking at the links above, the one website is just random chinese crap. I would advise against that. The modugrow one looks pretty sweet. I can't tell what the difference is between their 90W lights, but the specs are solid. It's 1/3 of a standard 240W Quantum board light, for R2k. The QB-75 will be back next week, and is going to be R1250 going forward. Compared to the 90W Modugrow, the QB-75 is about 10% less efficient, and 15W less, but also costs R800 less. So it's a slightly different value proposition.

Very sexy! He just got another order

I wouldn't blame the cold too much in this regard. If 15C is your low end then I rate you're ok. I am currently getting as low as 13C and going ok Although temp fluctuation between day and night could be a problem if not in flower, but even then I've never seen problem unless you get below 10C. Them weeds is resilient.

Day 86 at the first spot of amber they got the chop. One of them threw nanners 2 weeks ago so chopped it early had a few joints and this is not couch lock weed.

First indoor harvest, pineapple glue auto ready for drying

I have to write the guys a recommendation. Every order is here the next day. www.marijuanaseeds.co.za Additional, they have Snow White Feminized as freebees.. and i only do Autos.. so wrote them, if they could exchange the free fem seeds with auto seeds and got Blueberry Kush Autos instead. from my side.. and if somebody is looking for something to grow next season.. you might want to give the Nirvana Candy Kush fem a go.. flavor and taste is very very good. But with the Post Office down and no parcels moving.. very fast and secure site to shop seeds.. they also accept Bitcoin () still wait for my Gelato and Pineapple seeds from fastbuds.. is in SA for 20 days now.. but not scanned into the system yet. I think will take a few more weeks till I see those seeds hehehe

I think I give those a go.. the numbers they put are hard to believe https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000214530976.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.62c35a088UVHxM&algo_pvid=48d3ac56-f090-46a2-9c1a-0b8f966c99d5&algo_expid=48d3ac56-f090-46a2-9c1a-0b8f966c99d5-10&btsid=0ab6fa8115907396166023780e8ff5&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ wups.. is a german link.. and I have troubles finding the product in english description. My main issue is this one: Power: 120 Watt Voltage: 48V LED: 248 pcs Samsung lm301h led + 36pcs 660nm + 4pcs UV + 4pcs IR Flower Footprint: 4.5 'X4.5 "oder 5'X5 'DECK (2 kits) That would be 240 Watt for a 4.5x4.5..

Hey All, I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself and hopefully share my experience with you all, and would like to go on your adventures with you too. This is my second proper go at this, learning every day and always open to advise or critique. Nice to meet everyone and be here, Have a dank day y'all

Picture of the light from below if anyone is interested, mixed 3x 4K and 3x 3K panels and then 4x 3K with Far Reds on ends.

Welcome and enjoy bud..

I'll take your word about the Horticulture bit... I know that they are practically the same effeciency... Just the h is more efficient by like 2% or something. They are liked over the b range, but only because they are newer and more efficient and cost the same. I'd get a psu that can run all 4 boards at the same time... Meanwell have a 480w driver that will do the trick... Otherwise 2 240w drivers will also work... I would avoid getting a psu per panel for simplicity HLG-240H-48AB or similar HLG-480H-48AB or similar or is it the 52A you need... @PsyCLownwill know

@Dr. Green @Prom Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it.

And as suggested in the thread, if your floor is cold then raise them abit Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

@GGG they don't enjoy having cold, soggy feet. Raising the temp of the water is a very good suggestion.

Cool, with your phed water, first water so that the whole meduim is wet, but no runnoff. Let it sit for a few min for the water you added to stabilize in the meduim. Then flush until you have enough runoff to test the runnoff pH and ppm. Then depending on those results you can see if this is just a plain water feed, or if you need to complete the flush. But from what we can see, the completion of the flush is necessary. The test is just for your info

He recommended the 10t as i will be pressing flower and popcorn in 20g batches. You can use the 10t to press big batches of hash too. The 20t is too much pressure for hash, kief and sift

10t.. most likely.. taking it with a friend. Was looking for one and that price looks rather killer for the quality of the build. So Thanks a lot for posting!!

If it popped and stopped growing.. dud.. if never popped.. dead seed ^^ If you have waited only around 2 days, give it a few more, if you have nothing after 5, dead. Never had anything coming after 5 days wet. When you glass the seed.. i do not recommend to let it soak for longer as 12-15 hours. I prefer to plate none popped seeds after that time, keep em moist instead of having a swim. So not that you did anything wrong.. seed might just be to old, lethal genetics or had bad storage conditions.

And when I look at your feeding amount, can't it be that the amount of Phosphor you add, lock out the iron? Your very bright yellow center looks direction iron deficiency..

Yeah, coco and hydro are the same in that sense. The coco is simply a medium in which the water / nute mixture is held. Coco does not contain any nutrients at all, unlike with soil. @TheUltimateNoob so @CreX and I were talking and you're using Freedom Farms Formula 1, which isn't pure coco / perlite. It contains some amendments, if you're feeding according to the coco / hydro guide on the bottle this may be causing issues as the amendments are also providing nutes. Ingredients: Coco Coir, Worm Castings, Perlite (30%), Volcanic Rock Dust, Bone meal, Gypsum, Fermented probiotic bran. That is the Formula 1 mix. So I'd certainly lower the nutes you're giving, perhaps even follow the soil chart for the GHE nutes instead - I have not looked at what those dosages are like though.

Managed two clone 2 miniature pineapple glue auto just for fun, was lolly poping the big plant, the stems were hard so I plugged the 2 into a small pot been going strong for over 1 month, think the 1 is done and the other is halfway lol

We have a new moderator onboard! Welcome aboard @Ill_Evan thanks for helping out

Geminated on the 29th of April 2020. Choco NL by @Totemic Using Justcannabis soil, potted in normal plastic pots. Added Explogrow and Micromatter from Plantmatter SA, using Seagro and Kelp for foliage spray. Transplanting into Plantmatter SA fabric pots Images to follow soon

Awesome little lady..

Nice yo!! What tech have you got and what strains are happening? Welcome and buckle in man

That helps... but what I have found is that when you press to much flower material at once it acts as a sponge and you loose.. but that is what I found... Different strokes for different folkes.. At the end it all tastes, feels and smells the same..... lekkka...

Hi all, before I start, I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself, and very glad to be here among like minded people. I'm currently on my second grow and can vouch for @growopz products, not only that but his knowledge on the field and build quality are second to none, which is my personal opinion and experience with them. Look forward to sharing in the adventure with you all, and growing with you all in every way. StickyD420

I check to post 2 pics a week.. so you can follow the ladies Day 1 Week 3

I got 2 of the IP62 Daisy chain. I wont have a hose pipe near my lights so don't think I need the IP68.

Just give it time, if the seed popped after one day, is rather fresh material.. keep the soil warm and in the dark. As said, 5 days you can easy give them. Growing is a patience game

I have forgotten seeds in water for 2~3 days. They grow 2cm long tap roots. Then just planted them. But would not recomend it. It is a bit cold atm to germinate seeds so it might take longer than usual now than in somer.

If the lowest air temp is 20 c then the roots will be a couple of degrees lower than the air. That is on the borderline for lockout issues. I have had similar looking woes, in the past and was able to overcome them with an oil radiator connected to a timer. I would monitor the temp on the floor of your tent. Add a heater if needed. Your nutes and coco mix are top quality premium brands, so I don't think that is your problem.

No I don't use one... I don't think I see anything less than 15°C air temp inside the tent, max gets to around 28 with humidity between 50-70%... Not sure about the roots, will have to stick a thermometer in the soil for a while Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

What are the variables in your environment? Do you use a heater when the lights are off? We just had our first really cold snap and your issues could be related to root temperature.

I forgot to mention, may not be a bad idea to drop the strength of the feed ever so slightly, perhaps to around an EC of 1.4 I'd say keep the ratio's the same though.

To me 5.5 seems quite low in terms of PH... I personally aim for 5.9 to 6.3 and currently am also using GHE and coco and have been following their feeding chart for the most part. No issues at all, I also run blumat's for automatic feed and do not do a flush, I know its recommended... but so far no issues. EC for flower has been around 1.7 on average with their recommended doses and my plants have been fine... With coco you do not need to constantly feed at a low PH to bring the PH down, just simply reduce the PH to the level you want and continue feeding at that PH. The PH fluctuations are probably not helping either. So let's say you were feeding at a PH of 7.0 and you want to lower it to 6.2, no need to drop the feed to a PH of 5.5 just drop to 6.2 and continue with that. On average I typically end up with a PH of 6.1 to 6.3 if you want a tighter range. I take a bit of a lazy approach with PH as well in the sense that when I add PH up / down, as long as I end up within my 5.9 to 6.3 range I do not worry much about it. If it were me experiencing that issue, I'd take the plant and put it in my bathtub and put around 5 or 6L of feed through it and have the feed PH'd to 6.2 If you really want, you can go a little higher on the micro and a bit lower on the grow. I'd then monitor it from there and give it a chance to recover.

@Dank I'm also really grateful for this local online platform. A decade and some change of growing in silence and having no1 to share the experience besides your closest people. And then suddenly you get to chat with equally passionate people that are not tired of hearing what's happening in the garden. You spot on with the pineapple skunk not liking being defoliated. Gave her a very selective defoliation this time. Her terps are also a new experience to me. It's nothing to scream about but fills a gap while we search for the new flavas. My favorite pheno of the watermelon gals shares the same structure and leave type as the male watermelon I used so maybe... Just maybe I might find something good enough to be a keeper amongst the kids. The stuff in the hunt room I ended up taking clones twice because I found one cutting in the dome had damped off after a week so I played it safe. Now everything besides that one has rooted. So I'm thinking maybe I do a quick F2 project with the Gama Berry. Which might theoretically be F3 seeing as it's BB#5 x strawberry diesel. All research points me to believe that BBs mom is the OG Kush and the dad strawberry diesel. If I'm mistaken please correct me guys. I know guys have already grown BB. So I have a 1m x 1m tent setup that I'm thinking of throwing all 6 Gama Berry clones in (3 males, 3 females) and open pollinate. Maybe eventually only keep the seeds from the female that turns out the best in the sensi room. It is so weird you mention gas plants and gherkins cos now I'm smelling gherkins on the only female Chem plant I have. I like your thinking with this Chem strain. I only have 3 of them thou... 2 males and 1 female. Is that enough to open up its population? For now I still have all the males. Was gonna keep 1 of each but I don't know cos they not really troubling me in their clone form. Maybe wait for a donor from the next hunt...Primal punch or maybe a 96 NYC diesel ... Just have to wait for the post office to come thru. This is like practice for that. Or if you want any of these strains I'll send it to you and you can return the packaging with you know what. Unrooted is perfect for me. Yeah man oneday we too will have lotsa fire floating around SA. Peace growmie

Bring me your spammers Thanks Captain happy to be a part of the mod squad

Well done and welcome @Ill_Evan Happy to have you on the team!

Yo @1000Hills Nursery looking fire man, setting the bar nice and high for next season bro You are going to rock the SA grow scene dude This PineappleSkunk has very nice budstructure man, nice colour as well, I assume she is tasty and a good high, what is in the nose on this? Looks Terpy Epicness Awe now we talking! That's a decent number of males to choose from. Have u got a solid idea what kind of Male you are going for, or perhaps a few males? Super stoked man, the males look legit, some beefy okes in there and some proper phat leaf bras as well, dig it my bruu. Blessings and buds for u and the KZN crew that side!
