Thanks for the great service, Sean!!! Press came in Friday.. looks a lot better as expected for the price.. zeroooooo complains from this side! And best.. works like a charm can recommend his product 100%

It's just too cold for that at the moment. But in theory yes, that's the way to go for outdoor

Yea, due to not having a flower light or able to get one right away, my advice was to use the sun as much as possible because the veg light is just that, a veg light. So full sun and supplemental light during the night for a pinch extra. I feel that will provide better results in his situation than just the veg light

Good day. I currently have allot of miggies/bugs in my indoor tent. Will try and see how they got in there. Probably not ideal for them to be in there. How do I get rid of them. Any advice?

Awe @StickyD420 so basically i dont like to use toxix stuff, messes up soil biology. States on the label that its toxic and harmful to bees, fish and wildlife. Just a heads up the mention for DE was in regards to gnats, not really mites. However if use the DE correctly during veg (extra silica) you could end up with plants strong enough to withstand mites.

Welcome to the forum @PeeWee They most likely come from your soil. U can use diatomaceous earth as a topdressing during veg, as well as stickystrips. I say veg cause it will provide silicate which can cause a dark ash when used too much in flower. Some growers cover the tops of their pots with silicate sand or perlite, this sjould also keep them away. Good luck. Edit, forgot to say, karbadust is toxic, i wouldnt use it in my garden.

Sounds lekker man, Ethos has some nice gear. Feel free to start a "Line up" thread in the "Whats in your stable" section of the group, there you can showcase your motherplants if u wanted too. As the thread grows it will be easy to go see the LineUp threads of growers for those sharing cuts.

Here's a good explanation on trichome colours for harvesting. Bit you need some magnification- jewelers loupe etc. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

don't worry.. auto talk in a auto diary brings info to the person reading it. I post a picture tomorrow again. They are very much in flower mode now

Hey there bud. Yea, In my case they're wilting like that because I've overwatered. Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk

What's up fellow farmers. Iv also got my first bun in the oven as most of u know. . I see the leaves are curling down. This could be if the light is to close. Please correct me if I'm wrong guys. Make sure the hole in the cup are not blocked to store water. I normally wait till the pot is noticeably lighter. Happy growing guys.

The youngsters don't need full sun, leave the moisture dome on to shade them a bit. Just have them under the light as much as possible. Once flower.. your job to place them max sun all the time

You might leave her outside when grown to a certain size.. but first 2 weeks he has to get them in.. one cold shock and the project comes to a sudden stop I see no advantage to put blue light on during flower, worst is you get her to stretch. Put her on your roof, so she gets max sun possible. And best is to get her in.. warm roots help growing, cold slows down.

Im loving this process of controlled growing like this in the hopes to find a real beauty and be able to use her in future grows!

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.

Weddingcake cut painting some nice purples. Exodus Cheese also doing her thing.

I have used karbadust sprinkled on the surface of the soil, clears them up pretty quick.

I have used the cinnamon on my seedlings and have still got gnats unfortunately, but the room smells great for the first day or 2, yummy pancakes Pyrol or Neem works, from my experience. Added, welcome to the forum

Tomorrow feels like a special day Very exciting times

@Fridgedoor @Fridgedoor yo man, give your bag a swift jerk up and down. It takes me 2 mins to drain a 25 litre bag. 24 hours is ridiculous

Yebo, The last comment, day outside in the sun, and night inside in the grow chamber Game on

Yo @CreX and @StickyD420 bright ass floodlight low on my balcony looks abit dodgy guys. Also temps fluctuate too much. Thats why i made that small grow box and to maximize on the light. Discreet. So warn sunshine during the day. And stable low 20 degree temps at night in the grow box with the light about 400mm away. I do have fans in the box to move shit around abit.

Howzit bro. Ok so roof is out. I do have a balcony i could grow on. About 10/11 hours of direct sunlight (moving them around). Then will supplement with the veg light for the rest of the time to make up 24 hours of light.

I missed it. Lol..... well done guys I was gonna enter but then I got high.

Awe, for my understanding Plant outside in the day, bringing in at night, to put under the spot light, running longer or all night. Then out into the sun the next day? If he had the plant outside, and mounted the spot light above the plant, he could switch or automatically switch the spot light on at sunset and off at sunrise? No need to move anything or possibly forget a step?

Would you suggest less light in flowering then Prom? Wouldn't it be better to use the sun all the way through grow, and add extra light at night when the sun goes down to keep it longer awake?

Why not.. little experiment ^^ if you don't mind the few bugs, give her 24/0 till flower, then Sun Sun Sun Sun, no need to run the veg light anymore. I know the sun packs enough power, 2200 micromol more then enough.. just duration.

Yup! Now it's just up to @afternoon blazer to bring her in every day and out every morning and then he will be rewarded at the end

Yea, likely high CBD and low THC... But also doesn't look like the nicest yeilding pheno of whatever the strain was. Regardless.... The amount of time you dried for would not have had that much of a detrimental effect on the bud so as to make it not get you high. My guess is perhaps you let it get too much sun while it was drying, but even then, it should have got you high. Another possibility is that you cut her too early. All good though man! What do you have sprouting now?

Very good thinking Use what you have free, and add the extra when the sun fades. Brilliant advice brother

Yo bro. So maybe a 18-20 hour light schedule then. To get it closer to the flower schedule.

Perfect brother, Now water again only next weekend Sunday again. No matter the urge to water before hand, wait it out brother man.

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.

Lucky duck. My lows drop to -2

They can talk kack, can't they?!

Very nice bud. Well done. [emoji109] Sent from my SM-A700F using Tapatalk

Thank you so much super psyched to be part of this. Thank you for giving us a platform to share our passion.

Week 10 has started Day 1 Week 10 And here is week 9 in motion.. dark times are Eskom load shedding related. I bumped the tent from the outside.. cam go moved a little, you will see.

@TheUltimateNoob. Welldone brobeans. Looks awsome and effective. Great simple solution. Big up to u bro for some out the box thinking.

It's coming bro... I swear, lol. Will have the thread up tonight for you guys. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

All looks well [emoji1362] Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

Have been giving this some thought, how about the prizes go to "best diaries", which the judges can deliberate over scrutinize plants etc, but in saying 420sa is looking for the best diary, gives the incentive for growers to be op it. BTW well done on the previous competitions guys, thought it was pretty cool regardless, and paving the way for SA CannaCulture

As far as plant variation. I supplied F4 genetics and regulars at that. That alone made it difficult to judge even for myself that knows the line very well. The next growoff I sponsor, I will be providing feminized S1 seeds. That will level the playing field and give more consistancy to the pheno issue.

Hmm, 5 grows is quite a substantial amount of time. An average grow would take around 4 to 5 months from seed to harvest, perhaps even a little longer depending on the strains. That is someone who has been growing for around 2 years back to back, provided they only have a single grow going on at a time. If you have multiple grows going on at one, it does reduce the amount of time quite a bit though. If you're thinking of having the grow off as a way to show case some of the best growers, this is a good way to ensure that is the case however majority of people who have been growing since it has been "legal" are most likely not going to have 5 grows just yet. Depending on when the grow off is meant to start and how many people end up legible for it - perhaps consider reducing the number of grows for the first grow off or two? If there are only 5 people in the comp for instance, not as much fun if there were a few more competitors. Also as you said not as much appeal for companies to sponsor the grow off.

It has been great to watch my seeds being grown out. The biggest thing for me was the sheer amount of seeds that went out, and the tiny proportion that bothered to take part stood out. I personally was hoping for more, but it us what it is, and many were just after the seeds I guess.

Don't worry I fully agree on that. Prizes involving gear etc. is definitely the end goal. Was just a thought in case we don't pick up any prize sponsors

Thanks for the input guys. After reading your inputs here are my thoughts on the best way forward: Instead of aiming too high with the competition I think we should start it small and build participation by means of qualification. The competition will be geared more for members of 420SA The competition will be more exclusive with specific qualification criteria to be met if you want to participate. Qualification criteria to be discussed. The goal is for the growoff to be an exhibition of the country's finest growing talent pitted against each other. Having a pool of accomplished growers also benefits the breeders who sponsor their genetics. I.e. they get a much truer indication of the performance of their genetics. A win for all parties involved. With a narrowed down participation pool, it may not be viable to offer prizes in the beginning but we can see how that pans out. Qualification criteria: I don't think post count alone is good enough to qualify. The member needs to be a proven grower with grows to show. They need a minimum post count of 50 They need to have a minimum of 5 completed grows under the belt. They can either direct us to grows on the forum or provide images of 5 of their grows. Finally there will need to be some sort of approval committee setup to make the final approval. This committee can be elected by forum members Perhaps an entry fee may need to be charged but we will discuss that a bit later. On the other hand, and I'm not sure on the legalities, but what if all growers paid in an amount at the beginning and the sum of these fees gets split amongst the 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners? Is that considered gambling? probably...

Well straight up... The rules weren't hard to follow. You gave warnings and still persons did not comply and that did suck... The competition needs to maybe have noob catagory and a "best newcomer" award, but needs to be more suited for experienced growers looking to challenge themselves. There are quite a few breeders on the site that I am sure will love to exhibit their genetics as the staple genetic for a grow off so maybe offer this to some of the local breeders... Give us an amount of seeds you need per grow off, and I'm sure guys will come to the party. Potentially a small buy in for serious contestants to compete for the main prizes , and consolation prizes for other entries that don't buy in.

Well done man. They are looking good
