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.

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

The mother of all tents https://www.santyerbasi.com/en/mammoth-elite-hc-1200l

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

Whats something like that cost if u dont mind me asking?

I dont know, I kind of think it might be worth a shot and be about the same, or if not better than the lens add on that noob uses. Plus I'd like to see it in action, unless you'll be out of pocket that you cant afford. Then dont.

Just get a jewlers loup or a macro phone lens bro.

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.

Can i have a scooby snack?

Thanks will do [emoji106], rather less nutes than too much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you can have just 4 plant... good genetics get a lot more important. As much as i can recommend the result of the smoke, blue cheese, blueberry kush and the bubbelicious, grow a bit all over the hight range. The nirvana WW was small in general, great for small low hight tents, also great smoke.. but just low yield. The bubbelicious still grows.. i had to go to stange ways to get the lamp up. Next i put ratchet directly on the lamp, they are in a hurry for day 67. One of the differences between autos and photos... you tell a photo what to do.. auto tells you what you have to do I know for sure.. when those 8 plants are out, i put 8 gelatos in.

Flip, can you imagine trying to hold the thing up, while you put the uprights in You'll have to have a neighborhood party, and then supply them all with dank too, as they know now, and plus, it's not like you haven't got enough supply after that

Thanks bud! Trying to show flames like you lol!

Oh no.. There was no air movement since last night, besides when i opened up to check on them. I didn't want to leave it open as i didn't want it to get too cold. Hopefully i can have a solution by tonight

Welcome to the fam @SoloKush

Ahh thanks man! appreciate that! Thank you my boeti, yeah soil seems to be doing its job too which i'm happy about.

I suggest maybe getting a 3 pack kind of nutez bro. Some sort of nutez to be used at each stage. There are a few ranges out there and it comes with a schedule . So u know exactly what to do and when to do it. I use biobizz. But u can maybe check what the other members are using. This would be the simplest and easiest solution to not screw anything up. Just my opinion though.

Looks great to me bro, well done

The modem thing works bro. I tried it.

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

Otherway around brother. The craft soil is the white bag. The green bag is premium classic. Once the seed popped you can plant it into the green bag for sure. Guys with autos that wana keep away from transplanting even pop their seed in that soil. @EthWal Winter time slows everything down, the colder it gets the slower things go. You got a dstv decoder or perhaps a modem or something that's constantly giving a bit of heat? You just wana get out the room temps, so pop that whole wet paper towel in a jiffy bag, grab 2 plates you would eat from and put the baggie between the plates ontop of the modem/decoder. Plates are there just so your seed is not directly on the device so you don't toast them and it acts as a little heat mat. Also, plates should be inverted ontop of eachother so the sides you would eat off faces eachother and the seed inbetween - so you don't crush the seed.

Brother. I see u like to fiddle. I dont mean it in a bad way. Please dont be offended. Instead of having so many moving parts and ammendments and additives and so many steps. Which means more chance of shit not being correct or doing what it suposed to. Why dont u go for the easiest solution with the least amount of work. This route may be abit costlier. But its gona relieve u of so much of stressfull thinking. Rather get the good nutez in a bottle that u just need to mix with water. The simpler it is the less can go wrong.

MOAT !... I want it...and live in there!

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?

I feel a bit like i get criminalized by incompetence... copy paste is a stupid way to write a draft for a law Anything not containing any THC should get excluded by default. Just legalize the trade... would open a coffee shop right away and generate more work spots

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.

Loads of tips from the bois!! My 2c would be... Well quite a few cents actually. 1)light - the light you have is really great for veg and flower, but its value will be in the flowering stage mostly. - I would follow @afternoon blazer advice about the Acdc lights... Really good bang for your buck for veg growth. And then use the 600w HPS for flower only. Recipe for success with lighting. I wouldn't fully convert to LED just yet if you are happy paying the electric bill you get. But it's definitely where the market is moving LED quantam boards and high output diodes. 2)the meduim. Christ it looks scary... The barky bits are no good. I would honestly try cut the plants out of that meduim, even if you damage some of the roots, and put it in the meduim with perlite. I recommend getting yourself some coco and mixing it with the perlite. This is the right meduim for cannabis. Even the soil soils are mixed with a lot of coco to make it a lighter arier meduim. Or get one of the recommended brands and use as is. Telling you... Guaranteed success son. 3)the nutes. Seagrow is a great all round nute source! And is a valuble addition to your toolbelt. There are tons of better nutes available... But this is not the worst you can do either... So all good man. If you can afford other nutes, I will suggest the biobizz range. How are you feeding the plants? This is where I want to highlight the most. Not a single one of your plant pics has a moderately dried out meduim... Every Pic you posted has drenched pots. The amount of water in the pots with the seedling should be fine for like the next 2 weeks without watering. And your bigger ones should be fine for like a week as well. And you should not be using any of the seagrow nutes at all yet... Plants are just too small. It would seem as you have been caught in the new hobby snare... Loving your new passion to death. This is a long game... Zero aspects of growing require constant adjustment. My 4c is you have not been letting your meduim dry out sufficiently. Light is good, nutes are good, airflow is good.... Watering habits are bad... Naughty naughty lol. As you are new, use this tip to help with watering. Actually, here's 2 tips for watering. A) pot weight test. Weigh your meduim before you water it... So you know what a 'light' meduim feels like... And then water, and only water again when the pot is light, or you have weighed it again and it is getting close to the base number. This approach works well with few plants. B) the knuckle test. Get your fingers stuck in there man... I don't water a damn thing until I can feel that the meduim is only alil moist about 2 knuckles down. That's about 5cm...2 whole inches. Then water till you get a bit of runoff, and then you are good again for a while. Cannabis NEEDs to have a wet to dry cycle. Not a wet to moist cycle. Peace and love bud! I know you gonna get this right

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

Built a little box for the seedlings to germinate under a 85w cfl , and hopefully keep the temperatures up until they are big enough to go back into the tent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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.

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.
