Glad to find a local community! I have trawled through the forum already, so already feel like I know you guys

I made the picture yesterday, just had no time for my desktop.. so pic comes with a day delay.. sorry ^^ Day 4 Week 10

Just started a new 80x80 tent with a 240W quantum board from PhoenixSky: Planted 2 fem Amnesia Haze from Nirvana straight into FF Premium prepped with Seagro and mycorrhizae, sprouted in 3 days: Cheap drip system bought at Builders, which I removed the plastic pressure regulator. I drive this with a 5L pressure sprayer, plug and play(the pipe fits into the spray handle where the chrome pipe goes in and locks with a nut), it has a trigger lock, so you can lock, pump it and leave it. Works very well Happy growing!

They’re better still recovering from a pH imbalance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I made a quick pic of the canape. You also see the 150mm hose going to the pot level.. 6 inch inliner for a 1.2x0.6x1.8 a bit over sized, but with this amount of plants in.. i highly recommend to go a bit nuts. The front right plant topped herself. Autos do that from time to time, had severals now. She will take the longest to finish. Same to the big one on the left, will be second last. The smallest, back row, second from left, is about 3 days ahead, just from the conditions of the flowers. I think i am not bad with 11 weeks. Will be around that time, the topped, more close to 12. I will take them 50%, they smell so nice now.

Aweh. Winter is a problem for outdoor growers. Either you grow indoors or you can plant auto's. Otherwise go big in summer. Now is the time for outdoor growers to be prepping soil for summer. This is the wrong time of the year to be planting photoperiod plants. You can plant autoflowering strains that may yield better in winter. (I've harvested 30-40gr dry off auto's this winter) Photoperiods will grow but remain small till they reach sexual maturity and due to the short days will start flowering very quickly- yield will be small.(like the pics) Depending on where you grow ambient winter temps will also affect the growth of the plants. They don't like very cold temps, but can survive. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

What up 420 fam. I'm nearing the end of my grow and wondering what y'all are doing in the final week before harvest. I have never done anything fancy before apart from a flush, but thinking of doing a 48 hour dark period with no water this time. Apparently this stresses the plant into a final push. What do you do and why?

Hi there! So the best, seeing that you have a greenhouse would be to plant late August, to mid September... But depending on how tall the GH is, they might get too big for the space. You will need to be on top of your game though... Big trees are no small feat to get to harvest and smoke!! Like @Bospatrollie2 said, nows the time to prep your soil and get ready for the coming season! Or grow indoor lol... Which is a costly exercise TBH. What are you planning on using for nutrients?

Yep, did a little write-up of my new tent I started over in the indoor section. I have another 80x80 with some random bag seed chronic and a California Lightworks 250, but I started it out with a 300W CFL and they are super lanky and the plant at the back is still stretching in week 5 of flower: I planted 10 randoms and had 3 males and 2 hermies, one sickly one that I culled.

Going to try and do a better Grow Diary this time and thanks for you guys help with previous one 2 X 150 liter totes, lined with 2cm LECA on the bottom and side, old trampoline side netting to separate the soil from the LECA to maybe help with the some root pruning [emoji2369]. Soil - Freedom Farms Custom Craft Soil from previous grow, amendments added - FF Probiotics, ground Barley, FF Fish Hydrolysate, Kelp Powder, soil was tilled a little and a 10cm layer of new soil was added on top. Waited a week so soil can settle and do their thing. Plants- 6 OKC clones in one tote, then I wanted 2 weeks and put 1 GSC and 1 Saffhire OG in the other tote. Gave them a Moong Bean Tea and some Living Soil Medium Organo Mineral Fertilizer, when needed ph 5,7 water Lights - QB 740w from@growopz HOPE YOU ENJOY THE GROW WITH ME [emoji322] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

The 17 th of March I Germinated 8 babbakush , 2 stinkypies , 2 lr+b , 2 fluff cheeses , 2 strawberrie kush The progress has been good..I stated growing around September 2019 so im very new to the game... The seeds i got from a grower/breeder who names himself "Budbally" and everything I learnd was from him and the internet... I got a greenhouse were I leave my babies (other than that everything Im using is low buget and free , I know I wont produce good bud with just Normal soil what can I add to my soil to enhance my plants with out breaking the bank. I am hard working and my Family and I are all stoners so I want to start producing bud to supply the family all year around.. but with my grow skills I have only produced bud that Looks,smell and taste horrible and it does not even make us High... I had a dream that I would plant 50 babbies in my greenhouse September but what is the point if Im just going to produce lower grade than "parkie grass".

Hi guys first time grower , have a gorilla glue auto grown in organicraft super soil , soil ph is 7.5 , watering with RO water , top dressing with insect frass every two weeks and using cannabis microbial consortium every few days , plant suddenly started getting rust spots and and few leaves have died , any idea the deficiency?

It's a QB480w turned down to 440w and a QB320w turned down to 300, 3 bars is mixed 3000k/4000k and 2 bars is 3000k, works nice Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Yeah I did a mini flush last week and they bounced back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just rectified a serious issue with the classifieds. Listings were not showing to Regular Members. I re-saved the permissions and it all came right. @southern26 please can you check now and thanks for bringing this to my attention

@KLS was it definitely pH? Lovely healthy new green growth there

Can also quickly state the record holder.. friend of mine down the road. Bubblelicious from Nirvana Seeds, reached 98cm soil to top and gave 127g dry. Is also the only dutch strain i would say, can compete with the US genetics.. rest i would take from US breeders... blackberry, gsc, ... go US. Not sure what they did.. but is just not the same quality anymore.

You can thank @CreX for getting through so quick Welcome to the forum, you lurker you.

Ja, awesome light, so happy to support local guys

Nice man! Clever adaption for the pump ekse!! Also nice move away from the CFL. You won't be disappointed with the PhoenixSkye light! Welcome to the forum and thanks for the posts

The KZN stable is growing pretty pistils on your skunk by the way.

Good progress, all looks to be in order. Its just the tree in the 2nd last pic doesn't look like she's having such a great time... How's your air circulation in that portion of the tent? Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

@StickyD420 They seem to be great but haven't started growing yet. The amount of light they emit is ridiculous. They are built well, though, and seem legit

Then there were 5. Transplanted to 5l. Three of them have gone outside. They not liking the indoor environment, and have been battling since germination. Looks to be solid Indica pulling through.

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%

DWC Update | Week 4 Going to try and stick to Monday updates. Things have really started to take off! Super impressed with my 320W Quantum Bar setup! The internodal spacing is extremely good!! Plants are absolutely loving life. I have increased Nutrient Solution from 0,5 EC to 1,2 EC pH 6,3 Nutrients will stay at this strength until i flip to flower. Other than that they will all get "topped" either tmrow or the day after.

Week 9. Week 11 will be the present. Okay, everything still looking good but it's like watching paint dry. The plants are finally saying hoesit, I'm a male, get me out of here. At this stage the rabbits each get a plant to munch on and I get more space in the cabinet. By week 11 I have 8 plants from 15 that are female. I'm happy and my wife is harassing me to start the next grow. Welcome back load shedding. Never thought I'd use my 2000kv riot control tazer to grow ganja, man but does it have a powerful light. Whoa, stop the train. I've picked my light up from @growopz. Out come the cfl's and in go the led. Can I go play with the big boys ma?

Generally rust spots like that are late stages of magnesium deficiency. You can give her some Epsom salts and it will help. The damage will never go away... But new growth and bud growth will improve

The liquid nutes are really good stuff! But, are generally considered non organic and or harmful to the souls micro life. But don't let that put you off! Because now that you mention which nute line you are leaning towards gives me insight to guiding you to the correct meduim to use it on! Okay so outdoor growing is your goal. You have a GH You have the Sun. Those 2 things already and you are well on your way to success. Liquid or salt based fertilizer is best used in inert meduim, like coco or perlite or leca... And not so much for soils. The reason for this is soils already contain an amount of nutrients already in a likely unknown quantity and ratio Where salt based nutes are a complete solution not requiring any extra help from the nutes already in soil. It's not the end of the world if you do use it in soil though, just not best practice. So outdoor coco beds outdoor will be ideal for that nutrient line. Will you be growing in pots or in the ground in the GH? Is there an outdoor light in the green house for night time?

No, not one but high on the list too. I would need a football field to plant all strains i would love to test... The topmax during flush is my own little nonsense.. biobizz states clear, give them water only. I would stick to that till the thc concentration in your brain makes you do stupid stuff.. just happens With fertilizer in general, stick to the producers feeding table. You will start to change it, the better you think you know the fertilizer. I expect 80-120g from those plants... never grew a gorilla, so very very difficult to guess.. but autos of this size, yield about that much, if i dig into past results.

Howzit bro. @Tee_Aitch_See Things are looking good. I have been using @StickyD420 reccomendation here for past 3 days. Seems to be going ok. Could u please point me in the direction of the gelato samba in the pics. More specifically interested in this 1. Coz i have 1 more auto seed(to grow). And its the exact same 1 from the same place. So will be following that grow closely. So i can follow through.

Oky so I dont have money but I bought 70 seeds a while back ...when is the right time to Germinate then for the big summer strech .

@ChroniclyChronic. Wellcome brother. Glad u feel at home already. It only gets better.

@ShamelessAtom Welcome Jacky!!

That is ecactly why I am leaving them so long to flower. If you went on looks they were ready to harvest 2 weeks ago. But I am leaving them for as long as i can been 95 days already.

Brother, If I may, and didn't see a comment on this yet, but your temperature meter, the hygrometer thing is not reading wrong, but probably reading the temp in Farenheit not Celsius. The perlite top layer will help stop it drying out that bad and help with over watering, plus try the 100ml to a 1L watering. Just dont miss a day when the girls are thirsty

Welcome Jacky, Glad to have you here and enjoy the stay

I raise my plants out the tray when watering, then discard of runoff before putting my pots back in the tray.

Hello and welcome @ShamelessAtom

Week 8. The plants are in the new cabinet and I'm feeling whoop whoop. The cabinet size is 1000x600x1600mm with the option of adding another unit to make it 900mm deep. How many plants would be optimal in this area. I have to many at the moment. The shelves are adjustable so I just drop them as the plant grows. Just by changing the light distribution the plants are improving but still not bushy. I'm popping them on the trolley and moving outside round tea time once it's nice and toasty. They still not bushing out, meant to be Jack Berry given to me by a friend, so I'll read up on the strain. These are the seeds that I got off the 2 outdoor grows (chucked in pot, and left in variouses places round the nursery) until they were ready. They got watered when it was nursery watering time. That's my experience growing. I'm busy chatting with @growopz about a QB75 without a power supply as I have one and budget budget budget. Almost caught up to the present so stay tuned. Spliff time.

@Prom congrats on the new toy bro

Hi guys Unplanned trip up the coast, so update is a little late. Things are moving along really nicely. All plants got Topped 7 July, and reacted super well! See pics below of new growth at the node where i topped. I also took 2 clones the the Ethos Crescendo and got amazing root growth in 10 days flat. (pic below is at 10 days.) Did a full reservoir change on Wednesday. Now i'm running full-strength nutes at EC 1.6

@Saurus Hey bud, so one of my plants was dropping and others had nutrient burn. So flushing them helped and then I also realized I was giving them a bit too much water so that was the other issue. I was trying to LST too early because I was quite excited but I’ve gotten a knack for it now and feel confident about this grow!

Maybe Saterday..

On point @Kiteloop Looks sick and glad to your setup is finished now, and that you got all your parts and tools needed, that digital meter should help get fine tuned from using the drops. Impressive grow so far and quality setup. Ps, mixed NUTS

@TomatoGrowerJHB thank you. Yes so for heating i purchased a Salton Panel Heater, mounted it to a wall. They about 420w, which is controlled by a STC-1000 controller. The controller manages my preset temperature.

DWC LED Indoor Grow | Week 3 Thing have picked up speed quickly now, All seedlings nicely established and roots all fully grown through the LECA pebbles. I also decided to take 2 cuttings from the Crescendo that that was about 3-weeks ahead of the Blue Kush seedlings. Strains: Blue Kush | Dynafem x 4 Crescendo | Ethos x 3 Nutrient Concentration - EC 0.5 (will moving to 1,0 soon )

@Bakstein420 Yes, theyre quite potent and im very impressed so far!

Cool, haven't come across that brand before. Gave them a quick google and found their site. You got the P300's?
