Week 5 flower under the @Liontree Supernova 320 (100%) We on 19 days since the true flowers started appearing so could be looking at a 10 week flowering period or more. Powdered sugar started coming out to play as well. Smooth sailing for now.

Hey Guys.. glad to be a new member here.. Durban bound soul here..Been growing my own smoke for 7+ years now.. All indoor.. Everyday is a learning day.. look forward to getting into the mix here..

Would make 1 meter rows, 4 rows, about 70cm walk space in between, 12 meter long rows. 48 meter x 1 meter grow area. 3 QBs per meter. 144 QBs with 120 watt per QB. 17280 watt. 415 units a day, 12450 units a month... just the light. 30 to 40% for ventilation. Might be same amount for AC as light 32k units for Eskom a month total, perhaps build a small koeberg for a MOAT is best 768 autos... conservative guessing.. 38 kg dry each 9 to 12 weeks depending on strain. Full time job for 5 people to grow... little army to trim and dress I might need one of these tents if the coffee shop becomes reality shut up, let me dream!

Zoinks, Scoob! How'd I miss this one?? Lookin gooood, Here, have a scooby snack pack

Looking good man! The light seems to be doing the things! You also look on top of your game

I agree, will see whats available. Got a refund due from Futurama , so could ask them to send me one of these you listed and then later play with one of these usb one`s for the fun of it.

I looked at those now, doesn't make it clear if digital or optics, so I wouldn't. At that cost, as apposed to the cheapest actually scope, and then a 2x optical zoom hand held, I wouldn't expect much sorry. Added, the curiosity in me or the child, wants to test it too still

If i use the new electricity cost i got july for prepaid home consumers.. 81225.60 Rand a month electricity cost @PsyCLown 3 QBs per sqm, 48 sqms grow area

Haha I love it , new name of the next grow , “Scooby’s snack pack “ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha, 144 QB's - imagine that. How deep / wide are the 1m rows? How many QB's per sqm does that work out to though? 38KG dry, trim by hand? Fucking hell, that is when you buy a centurion trimmer and the people buying the weed from your coffee shop must STFU and just smoke it.

Hey dudes, my first post here. Critical + F1 Plant 6 and the last lady to Finnish flowering last season. So far its the best pheno iv''e grown from this strain. The dried flower smells and tastes of sweet licorice with a musty finnish.

I wana know how many of these have sold!? I don't think a one man band can make enough music to fill that space, if you know what I mean... Would have to quit your day job and employ a staff team!

Alright alright alright guys! Give this bruski a break long enough for him to show us his grow haha!! Welcome bro! Make yourself at home and I hope we can glean some wisdom from you as you will from us

Autos are not stable, especially the dutch ones. I had the exact same experience. The US genetics I agree just seem to be of a higher quality and they're certainly leading the way with auto's and even photoperiods. Guys are buying the dutch stuff as its cheap and advertised everywhere with the strain names people are use to hearing and want.... or think they want.

Very sexy setup!

This gona be 1 dank ass harvest bro. Awsome job so far.

Hey Solo welcome, you have been with it for awhile, we can use your experience here [emoji39] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

Welcome @SoloKush . This the place to be bro. ✌

Soil has way to much bark in. The perlite privides air, but the roots still need fine soil to get nutes. If you want to save your grow, get a FF green bag, repot very gentle. The bark will hurt a lot the root work anyhow during repotting. That small plants after that much time... very small roots on those plants. 600 watt more then enough. If you would have over watered for 5 weeks, they would be dead by now. The more i look at your soil, the less i like it. I think there is your problem.

Welcome bro think you going to love it here!

Welcome

Hello Solo, Welcome to the place of all places, We look forward to seeing your grow pictures and updates, Please share, we are here to help with all questions

i had with really no exception extrem even canapes with US beans. Gorillas were a good example. With every Dutch batch i run, plant hights are completely different.. with one big light, just a mess. Nirvana Blue Cheese Auto, same batch of beans, same moment glassed, same soil, same nutes, same light. Annoying...

Precisely, makes sense and agree... Real side note, if you need a new phone, a Samsung Note 8 is now about 6k brand new, or cheaper second hand, and has 2x optical zoom and you'll have shots like mine and a semi nice phone

@afternoon blazer Its advertised for R339 on Bid or Buy . Relatively cheap , so might buy one just to play and see how good the quality is. https://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/477037791/1000X_8_Led_USB_Digital_Microscope_Endoscope_Zoom_Camera_Magnifier_Stand.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwm_P5BRAhEiwAwRzSO5WJLdfqxygdt9qobilpzKeueqt7YkMQih7YH9AAs9iQDqhKGN0gJBoCAJUQAvD_BwE

@StickyD420 Please have a look at my last update. How long do you think will she keep flowering till harvest, just want a rough idea. She did not realy grow much.

I see they say zoom, then 1000x Digital, so just check that it can optical zoom, not only digital, or then it definitely isn't working for your needs.

It looks good though. Just do not expect a sativa high.. That one looks like a strong Indica hybrid. I would of kept also. Might be a nice surprise.

I noticed that aswell Couldn’t bring myself to kull (hopefully a her ) the growth was insanely fast before I did the mainlining so clearly not happy with being stressed ,but going to keep the plant small and possible top it again to have 4 small main colas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Stinger96 No worries!

Thanks bud! Trying to show flames like you lol!

The fans are a big one, no air movement, and WPM creeps in, please be careful brother.

Welcome to the fam @SoloKush

Pop them in the sun if u can

The modem thing works bro. I tried it.

I love that you took that the way you did, it was meant as so... Brother I always have a huge respect for you, and I do take notes, steel with my eyes and ears all the time So happy I'm home here

Imagine how much it would cost to fire it up and run

Small house that

Ph down is either nitric acid or phosphoric acid.... They are really strong acids and only a drop will change ph. Not enough phosphates to support flowering at the pH you need. I wouldn't want to be adding sodium to my medium.

What up Gromies. Just a small update. Week 5. I think its day 30. Switched to 100 percent nutez now from 75 percent in week 4. Managed to squeeze in about 3 waterings in week 4. About 600ml or so each. First 100 percent watering done today. Weather was shiiite this week so far. Fingers crossed. Better days ahead hopefully. Need that sun man. Still getting about +-9 hours of direct sun. Stretching a small bit. But starting to form some nice budz. Running without any issues still. Still touching wood too. I think im happy overall. Whats ur verdict?

If u started with 50 percent nutez. Keep it that way for the entire week. And only change to 75 percent the next week. They still really young. So dont need too much right now. I only started nutez at the end of week 4. At 75 percent. And now week 5 i have moved to 100 percent.

Limped behind the house quick... compost and mixed soil for fun to come

Gsc Blue Dream Ghost train haze No specific order, and haven't really had lots of time to try or grow most of the strains available and going to be going into it properly now. Going to definitely try my local boys, @1000Hills Nursery and @Totemic without a second thought at all. Just time and money at the moment

Here's the feeding chart I used when I was starting off. Served me well up until I started mixing nutes with a tds stick meter. pH between 5.7-6.2

Might be. But in terms of heat In terms of coverage In terms of life span In terms of power usage In terms of size LED is boss.

So to understand what you are doing with topping, you need to remember that even though the plant is alive, you aren't chopping off its head with this maneuver lol. There is no hard and fast rule as to where you must top... This comes with experience... One day you will just walk by and realize a lady needs a snip and just do it! You can top the plant right down to the first node if you really wanted to... Don't... But I'm just saying it would be fine... The trick comes more about which lower nodes have decent enough shoots, you want to make your snip as low as you can! Without cutting off the lower stems you want to promote. So even if the nodes alternate like you are experiencing, you are just looking for lower growth that looks good enough to become a main Cola... And that method you have about topping at the 5th node is wrong... Or atleast the way you interpret it is wrong. On a seed grown plant, you would want to wait for the plant to have atleast 5 nodes, before topping the plant.... Likely at the 3rd node or lower even, depending how the lower growth has grown. Lemi know if this has helped you alil and feel free to ask questions to gain a better understanding. And don't worry about killing them... As long as you leave a leaf or 3 on the cutting.... The plant will survive

I would happily offer to be the tester/judge for the KZN competitors... send me your indoor guys

Hi Start of week 3 of flower (from first signs of flower) 3rd time I have to defoliate and hope fully the last. Top dressed with rock dust and FPJ, to really push my P & K. With are highly available for the plants. Add water Soluble calcium and water soluble potassium. Having a bit of powdery mildew but mixed up some of the latic acid bacteria with OHN which is Oriental herbal nutrient, used to provide plants and soil microorganisms with micronutrients, which may optimize their resilience to environment stresses . OHN is a mixture of edible aromatic herbs extracted with alchohol, fermented with brown sugar. Used to discourage the growth of anaerobic, potentially pathogenic microbes. Herbs long recognized by many ancient cultures as having prebiotics properties include fresh ginger, garlic, angelica root etc. Then, keep it shelf stable with a bit of brown rice vinegar 1:1000 . Took some really strong and healthy clones of the prized cookies pheno and GG#4 x gsc , about a week and half ago.

Also collected indigenous microorganism, (imo) Which is basically, you take everything (bacteria, fungi, nematodes) which you collect from miselium rich spot. Under a tree, under growth. Away from sun, you use par cooked rice as a food source for the miselium to collect on and inhabit. Once that is done, you mix in equal parts brown sugar and ferment for 10 days ( I did). That's your imo2. You have basically collected the environment around you. You have it in a bottle. Then you want to move to imo3, which is basically when you introduce a carbohydrate source , to feed your "environment " . I got bran from a horse feed place. Which you "cook" for 7 days, will reach temperatures of 40 to 50 degrees. Has to be turned everyday. So the recipe is basically, fpj, and 1 :500 of imo2 to water that been out in the sun. You want to mix your imo2 into the water, you really just need a tiny bit to inoculate a 30kg. Dont make 30kg, can make 1 kg, tiny bit goes a long way. That's what I need for what I am doing. After 7 days, that's your imo3, now you want to move one to imo4, that's where you introduce your soil, better from your garden because that soil is best for the environment you growing in. That's you marrying you micro climate, your food web. Your #imo1, is what's in your environment, it wouldn't work if you moved somewhere else or shared it with a friend, that lives miles away. It works best for where you are. If you move to a different environment, you would have to collect imo again . I like to stop at imo3 because, I keep imo3 in the cupboard and you can add it to your teas, for boosting your soil medium. If you dont till, this would work perfectly, because that's how you would refresh.
