I've done some defoliating on the bottom halves of the plants. The extra space makes watering much easier and the plants are looking pretty neat and tidy. I am pretty much ready to flip I am already looking to beat my last harvest by some and I don't want to over-veg. I'd say I am close to halfway high on one corner of the tent. The supercropped Aurora Indica is looking pretty level at last. Very happy with the management of that particular girl.

What up peepz So we have full lift off. 13/13 super pumped.

The girls are 7 days into 12/12, and already its getting cramped. 3 plants are nearing their end though, so more space will open up soon for the remaining 6

When I get to decorate the tree... Tis’ the season to be jolly...

Thank you! We are excited to be part of this awesome forum. Hoping we can help members on this forum out with the products we provide. We feel our pricing is great and aim to provide excellent customer service. Any questions, please reach out to us.

Yip yip! Flip is officially today. Total time since seed is 46 days I've taken clones of the GDP, Royal Gorilla, Zkittlez x Purple Punch and Aurora Indica. The Aurora Indica last harvest was really nice after a cure so I'd like to get some more of that. I'd like more of the Zkittlez x Purple Punch as only one of the three seeds survived, although I don't know what the strain is like yet. Mates want some of the GDP and Royal Gorilla, how can I say no? Cloning for the first few times has also been a treat.

Start of week 7 for the Quarter Pounder Autos (capeapeseeds) Start of week 3 of flowering. No signs of trichomes yet.

Hi guys, a few more update pics below. Not sure about this yellow leaf, there's another one at the back of the plant. Only the big fan leaves are that colour. Any idea what it is?

Dinner for one

Sativa (dominant) vs Indica(dominant) leaf

Some budshots (wintergrown outdoor) from the BlueberryKush #3 cut (F2 IBL "berry line" selection). She is the blueberry muffin cotton candy phenotype.

Welcome to the community! Glad to hear customer service is a priority for you folks, its a foolproof way to cement yourselves in the industry & i wish would companies would realize this & follow suit. All the best of luck & prosperity

It's a sign from the gods! So basically you need to purge the tent of as much oxygen as you can and have co2 displace it. Once you think you've displaced with co2 you'll need to seal up the tent and let it sit for an hour or 2. With just co2 in the tent the bugs will asphyxiate and die. That's where the dangerous part comes in for you though. You need to make sure that you don't inhale too much co2 yourself in the process. If you pass out with a bunch of co2 in the air and a tank still releasing co2, it's tickets Strongly advise you don't do it alone and plan it out carefully. How big is your tent? EDIT: you may need a regulator to attach to the bottle. See if mygas can rent one out to you as well

1 Month Update Am rather impressed by how well these have grown over the last month Have transplanted all 3 to larger sized pots last night, so far the Alien Tarantula & OKC are taking the transplant like its nothing only the Slurry that's showing slightly droopy from a bit of shock. @SkunkPharm Thanks again, these are sure to be legendary once finished

Ended up having to take a chance and moved plants to the shade house on Friday. Been 3 days now and they're looking happy. Reach for the sky now ladies, or as high as you can in a 20l. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Ez 420SA growers, As per the title, I've discovered mother f***ing thrip damage on a few of the larger fan leafs in my tent. I am 4/5 weeks into flower and things are looking tasty apart from these little suckers(lol!) ruining my morning. Can i spray this deep into the flowering period? I was thinking that a weekly spray of Pyrol may be of help? or should i just let them run a mock in the tent? I predict i have another 4 weeks to go for this run. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Not sure, I have never used it and do not know of anyone who has used it either.

Bit of a tricky one, I have sprayed Pyrol in flower before and then I bud wash come harvest time. Pyrol works wonders for getting rid of thrips. Alternatively, although its a lengthy process and may not be ideal not ... maybe for future reference though, you get a fungus which will grow on pests and kill them. That can be used during flower without issues I believe, it is called Beauveria bassiana and Argo Organics sell it under the name Bio-Insek. A few other places sell it as well.

When you say the whole time, do you mean for the next few weeks of flowering? The damage is minimal, and i don't think it is at the stage where it will affect the plants performance to badly. The bigger leaves have the characteristic white spots where they have been punctured but that's about it, nothing to wild. Nothing dying off yet, maybe the plants will make the next 4 weeks.

depending how bad the damage is, i would ride it out. pyrol will leave a funny taste on the maturing buds. i spray pyrol in the 3rd week of flower and that takes care of any populations that could cause kak. the CO2 would need to be crazy high to kill the thrips via asphyxiation . but it will definitely make them not want to hang around and likely try leave the area, so you would need to keep it going the whole time in order for it to be effective as a pest deterrent.

Looking very promising bro.

Small grow, Mammoth Pro 100, 1m² floor space 2m³ total. Seal up the inlet and exhaust and let the CO2 fill up the tent, can i leave the circulation fans run while this happens? I'll be sure my master(partner) keeps a watchful eye over the proceedings.

DUDE!!!! My Gas head office is less than 100m form our warehouse! Thank you for the tip. I'm going to contact them now! Does the CO2 kill them off, while boost. THANK YOU!

You're quite deep into flower now and I wouldn't really advise spraying pyrol now... problem is you still have a few weeks to go. That leaves you with few options right now. You can try control it manually by removing/wiping by hand. Quite tricky with thrips as they move around quite quickly. Another drastic but effective measure is purging your tent with CO2 but this is a tricky procedure and needs to be done with caution as you could kill yourself. I'm currently renting out a co2 bottle for homebrew beer. I rent from MyGas who sells 10L of co2 for just over R300. They then charge you R4-00 a day for the bottle rental. No deposit needed.... As I say its a drastic measure but it should work. Will give your plants a little boost in the process as well

Leave that by the chimney when santa comes to visit, and after a HUF HUF, Rudolph will shimmy on down for a PUFF PUFF

That is awesome info. Thanks for the help Bob. Let's try again and see if a fresh start helps. I'm currently busy prepping everything to get some seeds in coir cups and I realized that there is a possibility that some water I mixed for a foliar spray for some other plants, got used to mist the soil after transplanting the seeds initially. This only contained water and some kelp extract at recommended dilution levels for foliar application. I might have forgotten that I put some kelp extract in and used this thinking it's only water. Can the hormones in kelp cause the stunted behavior I experienced? Anyway, it might have happened, but it is definitely not something I ever do to seeds or very young seedlings.

Thank you so much Bob. I replied to your DM. Like I said, I'm still very much excited to get some Gardener's Delight going, so I'm going to try germinating directly in coir pots and see how that turns out.

If your beans don't pop after 48 hours... they are not the freshest seeds. Also check how you store your own seeds. Vacuum container, fridge.. you can also freeze them gentle. Seeds from a seed bank run a bit with a "protection", at least the good ones do it. I buy 10 and have 1-2 duds.. I accept it in general. But if I have more fails.. I usually let them know and the only response you should get is: we send the replacement seeds to the same address? If you buy seeds, don't feel shy to tell them, if the seeds are not doing as they should. I had a bad batch once from Nirvana (marijuanaseeds.co.za) and they replaced me the full amount seeds I bought and send to me the same day I wrote the complain. The time you lost will always be the annoying part.

How are the ladies looking bro?

That is really unlucky bro. Maybe try reach out to @Daggafontein Genetics , they might be willing to help.

Pink Mango Gelato ... week 4 ... maybe some airflow problems, definitely some trimming ones

07 November If all goes to plan, it's about two weeks before I will transplant the seedlings to their fabrics pots outside. I decided to mix the soil today and let it sit for the period leading up to transplant. I used a 150l rough tote for mixing everything. The mix consisted of 1 x 5kg coco coir brick, 90dm outdoor potting soil, roughly 15dm vermicastings and 15dm compost from my own bins. I eyeballed the vermiculite and topped it off with some Bio Ocean pellets and about half a cup bone meal. The total water used to hydrate the coco coir was 60l of tap water, to which I added 1000mg of ascorbic acid for chlorine and chloramine removal and let it sit for a while. Ph was tested to be in neutral range Update on the seeds: The first seed that popped on the 5th and got transferred to germination mix, is still underground. I usually plant them very shallow with taproot down and only the slightest of soil covering. I would have expected to see some action above the ground by today. 2 Other seeds also popped and have the taproot peeking out, but I'm going to hang back maybe a day with them before putting them in the soil. They seem to be a bit slower to respond than what I'm used to. Still amazes me to see how much water a single 5kg coco coir brick can absorb. This is 1 brick and 60l of water.

I've been light on the nutes. I was trying to gauge the strength of the new coco. Didn't want to go and burn the shit out of the seedlings and they got a bit hungry Otherwise, looks like I have one plant that's getting a bit taller than the others, it is one of the Aurora Indicas. Out of the 4 planted this one decided to be a stretcher. I may just try my hand at super-cropping on this one

Thanks bud. BUO advertise their Super Hemp Soil to be used as a germination mix as well. I'll keep an eye on it anyway, since it is my first time using it.

Nice bru, I would just double check that soil isn't maybe too hot for germinating in.

On guard...
