Week 7. The OKC is almost there getting heavy. The rest who knows.

These auto's just dont want to finish. I was hoping they would finish 2 weeks before the rest. But no such luck. They are on 92/3 days today. I cut some lower branches off the first pic just to let the top ones finish strong.

I went with LSD from Barneys Farm, also mainlined her so it's nice and breezy.

Thanks for the pictures, Would say they can be put into fabric pots, and they are probably still wet / muddy at the bottom, and will see if you transplanting them tomorrow. Some roots are drowning, at the bottom, and that is surely causing the twisted leaves and the lock out of N as the new growth was yellow and could not absorb the nutrients. Guys will even lift a fabric pot off the floor for proper air flow under, and you need that air and dry out to a degree, they are programmed to seek out water, and if you keep them too wet they dont need to do any work or grow bigger root systems.

Great Idea! I have Ethos Forbidden skittles and Ethos Wedding Cake clones going atm.The wedding cake is a bit sweet for me,but she kicks nicely.I prefer something with a little bit of sour/spice or diesel to cut that sweetness. The f-skittles is around 4 weeks away from harvest, but the clones already have roots.She also smells very sweet Clone transporters (6 pack around R50-60) - https://www.google.com/search?q=clone+transporters

If plants could read, those schedules would make more sense . Run the sheet so you know what week you are in for feeding. Rest, lift them morning and evening and if they are super light, feed them with the dosage set for this week. Wet the pot top to bottom, then back to the daily lifting game.

Just a little update on the Autoflower grow Day 35 for the Sour Diesel Auto - Most recent feed was 16/07/2020. Biobizz bloom and molasses. Day 14 for the Gelato Samba Auto and Cocopopo Auto. - Received tap water on the same day. First feed will be in a week. Just planning to give them some seagrow for their first feed. Next feed is scheduled for 20/07/2020

Powdery mildew Pity I missed this thread after i lit the fire, was banging.

@afternoon blazer Keep It Simple Stupid... KISS. You can find strains that are resistant to certain diseases like pm or mold etc. My last grow I got bud rot, so this time I picked a strain that was resistant to mold. So far so good.

Yikes. U wana grow for all of us?

I keep an eye... no, two eyes on the grow diaries Air, i would rate you a bit on the low side. Go 8 in 8 out(or add another 6), big tent, i use 2 outs to have a less directed flow from in to out.. comes in at one side, leaves tent other side (one 6 goes out of the room with filter, other goes into another tent, vents the Gorillas right now). 2 40cm ocilating, 2 50cm directionals for general mixing... you might need 6 40 and 4 50 to keep all moving. The better your air moves, the better your plants grow.

lol. Not fucking around here!

Agh, ja bit of both hey single 250W QB in a corner and duel 400W HPS with cool tubes and a 6" exhaust and 4" intake all in a 2.4x1.2x2.05 tent. I swear I'll uniform everything soon

Haha, naah KISS is just a term I've picked up on recently and I've been stuffing it in anywhere I can like a fat kid with cupcakes. An intake filter is something someone considers as a last resort. Problem with powdery mildew? Maybe lessen your humidity first, or increase your air circulation, or even try a PM residence strain etc. Maintaining an intake filter can be hard work, especially if you're uncertain whether it's fully necessary. Also consider whether you are scrubbing the air into the room your tent is situated, or simply just the air going into the tent. If it is the latter, simply unzipping your tent to work on your plants will render your entire intake scrubbing setup useless.

Ah okay sweet, Nah brother, no need to do small waterings every 2 days, and definitely the fabric pot will be better. My last grow I watered 7 days before I harvested the plant, and when I cut the stem at the base, the soil was still wet at the bottom, and then put that fabric pot outside for a week longer, and it was still wet on the ground when I moved the pot again. You'd be surprised how long it can go between waterings depending on your mix. I'm also thinking your cups sit flush on the tray, and therefore might not be breathing properly top to bottom?

That Space princess looks awesome. Very frosty and attractive colours. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

What up 420 Fam. Just a small update to keep the Diary going. So the Banana Monkey i germinated got potted on Sunday Morning(12-07-20). With the seed cracked open. Into the root plug and final pot. Sadly still nothing has broken through the soil. So just gona let it chill out for a while. During the week. I was feeling abit irratated. So i germed another auto. SWEET TOOTH. Tuesday (14-07-20) Seed felt better for some reason. Anyway. Same story shot glass. This time i did 24 hours. Then paper towel and plastic bag for 18 hours. Temps about 28/29 degrees. Awsome 15mm taproot shown this morning and she got potted. Put on a humidity dome. And popped her into the grow box. Lets hope its smooth sailing for now.

Thanks bud and you @StickyD420. I wanted to get this right the first time round. Coming from cfl's I'm yet to experience the power's of led. I don't want to be tempted to hang the lights to close.

I had mine at 55cm in seedling and veg and I've since lowered it to 40cm a week ago. They seem to be happy with the light at that height. No stretching at 55cm and no burn at 40cm. I read somewhere on the growopz website that it could be as close at 20cm from the canopy.

Reading through your post and thinking about it. it makes sense to have an entry fee. You get respect for it, I am talking about the people paying the entries. It can be used for the distribution costs, so you dont have suppliers letting you down. Free does not work, people dont respect free. Throw the entries into a kitty of sort and make the winnings bigger or lets donate that as a community to the Dagga Couple/ Fields of Green for All. Afterall they are the reason why we can grow in the first place. I dont think you should eliminate newbie growers, but of course they need to be active in the community. Just want to say keep it up. I won 3rd prize in a comp on here last year, never expected anything and received my prize very quickly. Great community!!

Happy girls.

Will do bro. Currently lights out, will get some pics this evening

Hey everyone! Needing some advice from experienced growers. Almost ready to get started but I need an intake filter to scrub the air of dust, pollen, mold spores etc. I want only clean air coming into my tent. It seems intake filters are not as talked about as carbon filters... why is this? Not may places sell them it seems.... Carbon filters cannot be used to filter these kinds of particles, and are for scrubbing air of smell, as you know. Picture of intake filter below. Is this something that most people just don't install? Is there a better, more cost effective alternative? What do you guys do to make sure only clean air comes into your tents or rooms? HEPA filters would work well, but doesn't seem like they are available to add directly onto the end of the ducting. Am I missing something? Help is appreciated TIA T

Absolutely man.... will do... It's been so great geeting advice and chatting to everyone, I'll defo be sending more time here

Happy that you got it working man! Its my pleasure to help in a small way. Keep us updated with your grow!

You get 4 LT at hydroponics for 15 Rand honestly, stay away from Ayres Starke I went as a friend said they have BioBizz.. checked the price and my heart skipped a beat. They have no shame...

Yoh u guys went off here.

Wouldn't mind 4 x 250W QB to get lekker spread in the tent. By incorporating the ScrOG method and creating as flat of a canopy as possible, the consensus has become spread > power over time. Although 1000W of QB LED in said tent is pretty beefy regardless of the principle.

Ooooh big boi. Looking forward to the grow diary

That's power. You'll have no problems my man. Just watch how quickly them panties dirty up faster than a prozzy on Church Street though.

Just found another thread that goes into a really nice DIY build for an outdoor intake system. Check it @Teal Smith: https://www.420sa.co.za/topic/1584-filtering-an-outside-intake/

Hey man! No carbon filters do not filter out dust, pollen etc. so wouldn't work unfortunately. Thanks for getting the others in on this

The Aurora Kush was the champ of this round with her long colas and heavy yeild - she's on the dry rack now and more updates will likely come in the form of a grow report

What a ride it's been! Managed to find one decent Aurora Kush pheno from the 8 i popped all those many moons ago. Here's some pics of the harvest coming down bit by bit when it's all done I'll post a grow report 1 last pic before plants started getting the chop chop

Week 2

Here are June's SOTM winners! 2nd place @Camille 1st Place @StickyD420 We had a tied vote with 2 of his pics... they were WELL DONE GUYS! @StickyD420 please can you PM me the following details: Your name Delivery Address Contact Number @Camille you will be receiving your TheHighCo coupon code shortly

That's the one. Super chuffed.

Finishing fast.

Had to stake the one auto this week. She is finishing much faster than the others. Not a very strong plant. The other 2 are solid.

I read a nice blog on the RQS website this week. It is all about soil mixes for autoflowers. It kind of gives my theory some backing atm. Will post a link when i find it again. My biggest Autoflowers to date.

French cookies are the densest tackiest heaviest nugs in the tent right now and have the fewest dark pistols still... Keen to see what happens, the current smell is very garlic and vampire warding smells lol

Early lemon berry

I agree with you clones would probably have been a better test. I might do it on the next run. But clones also have variations. So the test will be hard with small sample sizes. I think if you do at least 10 pots of each soil you might be able to start drawing conclusions. Then you can eliminate the outliers and draw a good median. Oneday when I have lots of space.

So what do you guys think? My conclusion thus far is that nutrient dense soil will make your plants grow faster but this is an ongoing test and we will see what happens at harvest time. This is the first time I am using freedom farms soil and I am super impressed.

This morning the freedom farms plant is standing at 109cm tall. And she is looking beautiful.

2nd June. The freedom farms soil plant over took the plant in my soil. But way further into flower.

19th of May The plant in my soil started flowering.
