LSD - 25 by Fast Buds Aroma of diesel and berries.

I use this as a preventative measure. So far it works. Edit:It's AQ-sf. A fungus that eats the powdery mildew fungus.

I have been using aq sf for my grow and spray it as a preventative and so far so good. I also have some sulphur for just incase, but would prefer not to use it during flower, or at least only use it during early flower before the bud has formed. Milk works alright as a temporary solution, like if you get it late in flower - I'd be happy to spray milk to keep the PM at bay while the trichs mature so I can harvest. Would be keen to try some Seranade, but not available locally and have struggled to find stock overseas to import. @Chris Jay if the product works and works well, awesome. If it is safe to use during flower with little to no negative side effects, even better and has lots of potential for sure!

I'm so pleased to have just received my order from @Marijuana Seeds SA and really cant wait to plant them. Original Glue Fem GSC Auto Sherbet Cookies Fem Blue Cheese Auto Grease Monkey Fem These are definitely going to be logged and photographed in every detail, and hope you'll all come along for the journey with me. Proudly supporting this company since day one and because of their ethics, and have always had outstanding service from them, so will continue to grow with them. Thank you Family,

This is what I've used and happy, and much safer in flower, and best to keep it in the fridge to keep the stuff fresh too.

You can always pull one out of your pic archives. As long as you haven't entered the pic in previous comps

Rodelization would be an other option to get feminized seeds.. letting them overshoot. The flowers they form are not Hermi related and proper XX male flowers (Nature FTW) ^^. For a fast shot.. I still would go colloidal with 30ppm. 12v battery and a silver coin.. need a pen.. or buy it from a shop. Health shops have often 250ppm colloidal silver solutions.. just dilute 10:1 and you are good to go and play. Just remember! DO NOT SMOKE THE WEED YOU SPRAYED!!!! The material you sprayed is for the compost heap.. not your lungs! Washing has no effect.. you have to dump it!!!!

Geez, this thread guys. @DamDave I started a grow diary a while back where I used some STS (Silver Thiosulfate Solution) - a combination of Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulfate. It works really well and is easy to use. As Prom said, once you spray some on the plant, you gotta toss the plant and cannot consume anything from the plant. OG and it's meaning... Well we still see it now a days I feel, people calling whatever bud they have a specific strain as it sells and it is what people want. People buying a Levi shirt for a couple hundred bucks compared to a cheaper one from Woolies which does not have a brand name on it. Brands sell, the fact we see soo many BMW 116i and 118i is further proof of this. Kak cars and terrible engines, but they are popular as it is a BMW and more affordable compared to some of the better BMW's which have better engines. The name became popular, make up some BS and call it whatever and if it catches on good for you. Your strain, whatever it is, is now in demand as you are referring to it as a more popular strain. Perhaps this played a role in the name and the confusion?

I still use the same.. Serenade I enjoy my bottle full of zombified mold eating bacteria I sprayed twice a half dosage for preventing starting Feb and mid Feb.. clean as they can be

Recently purchased some seeds from @Golden-Goose. Good communication from their side and overall a positive experience! Looking forward to grow these strains

it was quite a debate as to whether to include dried bud as part of this months theme. in the end it was decided to just have live budshots to see what the peeps can put on show. very likely to have a dried bud theme in the near future though, so keep an eye out on this thread man!

Whoohoo thx@Cannabist and @Bay Seeds, received a few mijn ago [emoji16] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk

He would prefer that I watch these and not participate, he is being funny by saying not to let me enter or even give me ideas to do so, haha. I love it, good banter and that is what I have missed dearly.

Look what arrived today!

With colloidal silver, getting the right ppm of silver in solution is an issue. Then the second issue is that one needs to spray the plant/branch daily for the first 3 weeks of flower... Then there is still a high likelihood that it didn't work... So no pollen. With STS, you flip to 12/12, you spray the plant once every 5 days, 4 sprays total, with the last spray on day 20, and you going to get pollen, a lot of it by day 35. So to get pollination timing right, the pollen donor goes into flower 2 weeks before the seed producers.

@Bay Seeds was generous enough to send us a crap load of sample packs while we wait for their new stock, so to keep the generosity going, we will send out 5 giveaways and cover the shipping. First 5 comments will each get a pack. Seeds are 3 seed packs and a mixture of pure lemon jedi og, lemon jedi cross with strawberry couch and mandarin cookies.

Mildew gone in two days! You can't really get rid of mildew with a single application. Is hard to beat but easy to prevent. Don't immediately pick off the infected leaves. You need them to see if the treatment is working. Early in the morning, spray the plant down with peroxide and water mix ( 1 shot glass of peroxide with 1 L water) . Try to not let the soil get too soaked by this. A fine spray over the soil is enough. Try to not let any of the sprays run into the soil from this point on. I cover the pot of soil with a black bag. Wait 15 min and apply Baking powder and water spray ( 1 drop dish soap 1-liter water with 1 heaped tablespoon of baking powder. Try to not let this run into the soil. This will cause a sudden change of ph on the leaf surface. Wait 30 min or for the plant to dry completely. By this point, the sun should be out. Spray a 40% milk and water solution. The protein in the milk needs sunlight to work. After this dries you should see a noticeable reduction in mildew. It might even look gone. It's not. The next morning, spray the plant again with the peroxide and water mix at half strength. Apply Milk spray at noon. Clean water at dusk.The mildew colony should be dead by this point. Keep the sprays out of the soil and the plant will be ok. Good luck.

That's the point.. loads of "entertaining" material comes from monasteries. Those bored monks just had to entertain them self.. and you do not really need a laboratory to select good genetics. A person knowing what he/she is doing, can do that... I use a lab, as I am not one of those ^^ I just want to be sure that my 6 months efforts are not going to waste because of my incompetent taste buds. If the lab and the testing group comes to the same results.. I might skip the lab for the next ones.. just want to see how wrong I am. A proper pheno hunt you also should do with regular seeds.. not with feminized So those monks had centuries to select.. imagine their genetics in those mountains. So trading a seed.. yeah.. very stable genetics, you get a good shot.. I still would prefer a cutting from the plant I fell in love with, then seeds she produced. Is like humping Kim Kardashian and hoping you get a copy of her ^^ not happening (both ways.. she will not let you hop on.. and genetics wise hehehe). So the main question at the end is... does OG Kush actually comes from a Hindu Kush Parent? .. or the guys just had a brain fart naming it like that? Like Nirvana calls their Blueberry Cheese.. Blue Cheese. Blue Cheese has NOTHING to do with blueberries Can name you a few delicious French Blue Cheeses and none has the slightest hint of blueberries what so ever hehehe

The product sounds too good to be true. Multiple uses, applications, bio degradable, safe to use, gluten free and organic kind of thing, but waiting to hear back from them geeks who sit in labs making chemicals. The cool thing is they are considering starting a cannabis brand.

I do now, and thank you for the welcome brother, and compliment, always appreciated. @PsyCLown I agree with milk, and used it before, as a side note and precaution, please if you do use milk, use the low fat, so your buds dont get that sour milk / lactose smell we love haha. Unless you wash the buds afterwards

By the way welcome back @StickyD420, you might not remember me as I got "upgraded" from fridgedoor to fridge. Always enjoyed your bud porn man.

Not selling anything, YETTTT. Market research cant be banned? Just asking about what solutions you guys have to WPM, something that is rife at the moment due to the tropical storms hitting our east coast. Thanks for sharing @Prom and @Fridge.

See it sucks growing on rock.. but rock makes clouds rise.. what makes them rain off the excess water. They grow quite active in the valleys and there are a lot of them.. region is huge! Any picture taken over the tree line has very little vegetation.. but the people do not plant on rock either ^^ I had Indian Charas and Nepal.. is about the same if you compare same quality, same earthy, same potent. Afghan I only had hash, very black and easy to form, same as Nepal hash. Is more or less same consistency and taste is also very similar. But ran into a little article about India strains.. Many botanists believe Cannabis sativa to be native to India. Sativas are also known as narrow-leaf drug or NLD. On the other hand, pure Indicas (Known as broad-leaf drug or BLD) originate from a small area. This area spans parts of southern Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and a tiny portion of south-western China. Therefore, many cannabis experts claim that what people call Indicas should actually be called Afghanicas or BLD in order to avoid confusion. I learned something in that short read too ^^ Reading is fun hehehe

You and your dry area ^^ Is very wet in the Hindu Kush The Hindu Kush is one of the great watersheds of Central Asia, forming part of the vast Alpine zone that stretches across Eurasia from east to west.

It has always been like this, as long as it is a picture your took and not one from the internet and provided you have not entered into any previous SOTM, you can use it. So if it's a plant you grew 2 years ago and the picture has not been used, go for it and enter it!

Mine too! Thanks again!

Mhhhh Hindu/Hindi-kush is a pure indica strain. Is call just kush today by most.. they have great weed in Afghanistan.. not just poppy seeds Hindu Kush is the mountain chain.. stretching over the region India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, which country did I forget? They make awesome charas (hash made from fresh plants)

hahahah maybe anyone knows the truth about where "420" came from???

Mine arrived this morning as well. Thanks @Cannabist and @Bay Seeds.

Nah, just find it funny. For years the OG abbreviation has stood for original. I can't remember where I heard that.

Dude.... what you doing...

This thread... Lol!

I did think of that, but will be fair and join in when I can again, be proud of the others and support from the comments. I'd love to help in anyway though, you know that

As this is a fact or fiction post, This info above, is... FACT

Your calculation is correct, but his isnt wrong either. He just uses a 240 driver for 140 watt load with a dimmer. Without a light meter... yeah, ok, but why i would not use strips, but 2 288 V2 boards, around 32$ a piece, knocks 100$ off the bill, uses the full wattage of the driver.. still leaves you clueless what distance to hang... what is important using 24 of those Stripes, would be very expensive... using just 140 watts on a 1.2x0.6 is very ambitious, buds might be more on the fluff side

Mexican Airlines... Fast Buds Auto...

I was working in the tent with the Gelato selection, removing abandoned fan leaves for ... an hour. When I left the tent, my right arm was rather sticky and the smell made me imagine to wrap a paper around it and set it on fire. Thank god, I still got my right arm without any burn marks .. those plants are part of the Gelato I tackle the potency record at Canabliss.. lets see if I fail 28 March ^^ is fat in my agenda No1 (Sativa Dream, at least to me hehehe) No2, i had em praying from start to finish (fingers crossed, about 10 days to go). But temperatures escaped me a few times over 26 (<10 times), never over 28. Winter harvest might have more punch... so far I am a happy chap Meet E, she is one of my favorites in my Gelato pheno hunt. And just if you ask yourself... if I don't have a goal, i get bored

What's good, good people! I always find hidden facts/myths so interesting and I am sure all of us have one or two we don't generally discuss, but might always be worth the mention. This thread is for those who have heard something, anything, to give it a mention. If anyone knows if it's fact or myth, guide us. I'll start it off... The whole "OG" thing. Most will know this to stand for "Original Gangster". In most cases of generic slang terms, that is probably what it means, but when it comes to cannabis and a whole bunch of other plants it was used to catagorise those genetics that where grown by the ocean, coastal tolerant plants. It stands for "Ocean Grown". It wasn't untill much later that a certain demographic adopted the word like they where the ones who created it (gangsters), when they happened upon the coincidence that the "OG" could also mean "original gangster" and they liked the sound of it so much and have over used it to the point where the majority of cannabis enthusiasts think the strain is called "Original Gangster Kush". which would be the worst name for weed in my opinion. Funny tag, it wasn't even the original gangstars that used the term, but rather the modern trendy soyboys who think they're intimidating everyone by not being able to wear their pants correctly.

It's save and sound in my tummy as we speak ;).

Mhhh I think Shiva found pleasure in cannabis and that is why you see some dudes sit happy in the middle of a crowded area and smoke their chillum.. part of their religion.. for mhhh thousands of years now. Cannabis is in most cultures since they started to exist. Charas is part of a very old religion.. not just 50 years of trade ^^ I am rather sure.. the OG Kush genetics come from a trip some dudes did to the region. Is where the kush grows At one stage I just stay on the simple side.

Wasnt it to do a bill or something that was passed or it became less taboo, it's also not clear and a myth or legend type situation.

Hindu Kush = Great Mountains.. or something like that Kush comes from the mountains.. not flat lands

yeah, best charas in the world come from that region. what I am saying though is you don't get indica genealogy in the desert. the fact that it's a pure indica idicates that it's not originally from the Hindu Kush moutains, but rather from somewhere indica naturally grows. speculations say it's from Vietnam, since Afghanistan traded ALL sorts of seeds through means of the silk road in 1950-1970.

Time for an update! All 5 of the seeds germinated. Three of them struggled, the shell is quite hard. Would recommend some sand paper or other method to gently weaken the shell, they germinated swiftly afterwards. Inoculated the medium with Explogrow and Mycoroot before planting. Have a look: Novakane #1 Novakane #2 Novakane #3 Novakane #4 Novakane #5

Oh man! This is the theme people love to post pictures of, I expect loads of entries this time around Good luck to everyone and may the best budshot win!

Experienced.. wouldn't say so. I just like to know what works and what doesn't. When the law said unlimited seeds.. I ordered 11 strains a 10 seeds from fastbuds.. then they changed the draft ^^ and my order got confiscated. Now we check what works, before Jerry sends the rest Their work is a bit useless.. as at the end.. you get your seeds.. they just waste more CO2 on wasted transport. And as the WHO took Cannabis off the list for dangerous drugs, I am willed to go head to head with a judge because now they just restrict my liberties as a individual. Cannabis is important for my personal well being and quality of life.

@Golden-Goose, your lineup sounds classic. Hear you about breeding lines today, but personally I only think its improving, however with the sad loss of landrace. ICMAG is without a doubt the best place for proper unique strains, lots of depth and some top people. I just logged back in after a couple years of dormancy. Good to see some old faces there, Doobie Duck is one man I would love to get genetics from, but he does not part easily. But received some of the real oldschools from that board many years ago. One of my best was getting a test variety of OG Kush from Franco ( GHS ) directly. Never realised I had so many sought after strains direct from breeders themselves. Love the cannabis community. Two of my favorite breeders, Bodhi and Snowhigh are working on some great old school genetics, you will see them showing up in podcasts soon with Canna Cribs. Here is the latest podcast from Canna Cribs and whats happening, interesting if you keen on oldschool. Anyone know if Mota Rebel is still around, I have a feeling he passed several years ago. His seeds were out of this world, off the top of my head, Lebanese Bekka, Pakistani Chitral........ Well that is the thing, I see all these new names coming, sounds more like a childs candy store. Variety is bliss and love the old landraces. Still smoking on my lesotho landrace from last season. I remember a hipster dropping a joint in the bin saying he does not smoke majat. I smiled and he stabbed himself ( true story ), had to race him to hospital. He does not carry knives anymore and is fairly interested in landraces now. Amazing how the wheel turns. i wish I had filmed two renowned activists talking about DP, damn my heart sank. They all into the new candy strains, but recently started getting involved in landrace.

Have you ever imported clones to SA? I would need a football field of space to grow all i would like to.. not sure the cops would play along I have 'chem' on my list actually. But still looking for the material. G27/28.. also called it JetFuel. Friend recommended it 2 years ago... i still look
