All running rather smooth at the moment.. dropping temps have advantages.. and disadvantages should have space in the 18/6 for the competition seeds. Will take a good chunk out next week to go 12/12. Gelato Pineapple Express Delux Sugarcane 18/6 tent And making more clones ^^

Wups.. forgot.. the "Ruderalis" I call it "what ever". Bought some fake seeds for sure. The other plant is already compost heap ^^ didn't found a single seed inside.. was outside since beginning Jan.. weird plants

Took this one a bit more early.. I need a morning smoke not making me go back to bed isn't helping with getting things done.

Thank you, means a lot

Blunicorn nearing the end at 8 weeks tomorrow, nice outdoor expression.

Weather in CT is rather humid.. so watch your dark times, boys and girls! Mold is on the lurk.

So here we go.. not sure if I'm early to the party but what the hel.. Will have some space in the tent soon and by the time these girls get flipped they should have the tent to themselves... Grow nitty gritties: 1x1 Mammoth Pro 100 Tent 600w HID Extractor fan and two fans for air flow.. The plan: Will be starting the seeds in a tin with paper towel on top of the decoder. From there straight into Freedom Farms Seed Starter. I Have not used it before and is quite excited to try it out.. After the girls have been Veged to reach the required size, they'll be potted up into 5L pots. Here is where I wil be testing a different soil mix for each.. #1 Will be grown in Freedom Farm Premium Classic & Diotomatious Earth.. #2 Will be grown in FF PC, DE and Super Frass 3# Will be grown in FF PC & DE Mixed with worm castings, Organic Mulch potting soil and extra Perlite.. None of the plants will get anything else. Normal declorinated tap water only. This grow off will determine my soil mix for further grows. It also serves as a bit of a test on the Super Frass and FF Seed Starter.. With these mixes I am sure to have 3 way different results.. To all the contestants, good luck stay safe and above all enjoy.. This is going to be epic..

@Stinger96 Happy you got rid of your PM issue I gave a spray last Wednesday... just to be sure weather bad right now. aren't we here to help each other? Love those mold eating killer bacteria

@Promhas a good heart, always going out his way to help others if he can. Solid soul

Well well, who knew... copper soap is a big no no during flower.. Luckily some advise from @Prom saved the day.. He also gifted me some Serenade and man, I'm sorted.. WPM seems to be able to make u it's bitch.. My first experience with it and I hope my last.. I started having nightmares about the shit... @Prom your a Legend dude.. Thnx.. So the Chockolate Gelato and the Chockolope x NL got the chop today, oh yes and the remaining DP.. Freed up some space for the LGO's.. The Banana Monkeys from @Bay Seedsare packing on some weight and is surprising me a bit.. Below some pics of the girls in the Tent at the moment.. Banana Monkey.. Unknown Grape Pheno.. Swazi Combo.. Lanky Sativa Pheno LGO.. The two LGO pregnant fairies.. The LGO Test girl.. ( Checking Plant Structure, growth, bud development, Terpene Profile and vigour).. The LGO Mutant..

Very true, well said, its about the plant and experience and just love for the grow.

As much as I'd love to join, I am nowhere near ready for that, and or have the space for the plants. I will promise now though, next round, you will have to hold me back from entering, as I'll be the first to sign up with such eagerness.

Yeah please come on play with. It's the reason I'm putting my pride out there. As a newbie'ish I'm hoping to learn from so many different diaries running at the same time. I'm hoping the light is the wooden spoon prize as I'm going into this with 2 x QB75's.[emoji12] Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Those look so good my man, I can almost smell them through the phone I take it, you are accepting the gift of the pH Pen? Will you please forward me on private message, your details of the nearest Postnet and I will make that happen asap. You can thank my sister company LeapH on Instagram, and it's a blessing to share with you brother and dont expect a thing in return.

Started with RDWC , then Coco/perlite a few grows and then soil . Hydro had a faster veg , flower is more or less the same for me.But all soil now , my plants look better in soil for me , I think there is a place for both . Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk

So the girl became a mother of two cuts and she was moved outside with the LGO outdoor girls.. Joining them is a Gorilla Glue x Bubblegum that also gave birth to a cut.. I received her from @SkunkPharm Thanx again man.. These will now be left to flower outside..

Wow! What an awesome surprise, I just logged on to post some pics and see this! Thank you @The_StonedTrooper and anyone else that contributed. This will definitely come in handy for the next grow. My phone managed to take half decent pics of trichomes. I don't know if these are clear to enough to give any useful information though?

I used pure chemical fertilizers in my first indoor setup, hydro... and today i am growing in soil with organics. Use what you enjoy using, I dont think there is a right or wrong. Both bring results, if used correctly. And not that i went organic out of experience, asked a guy, who knows how to grow, what to use. Use A if you find, otherwise look for B couldnt find A, went for B. Results to my liking, sticked with it. And B was the BioBizz range... A was Plagron. He suggested soil as more tasty... and that is a bit opinion based.. but i enjoy not to Ph at all.

@StonerZN This is your nomination, good luck!

I noticed one member jokingly asking for a sponsor to join a comp, not sure if it was equipment or finance related, but hey isn't everything finance related I would like to nominate @StonerZN

@Nibiru This is your nomination, good luck!

I think we all agree on coco & synthetic for growth and dense, but I find its missing that flavour. So I agree with you

Will not say that I am completely rid of it.. but that shit's definitely legit.. Thnx again brother man..

So the remaining leaves got devained today and cut up.. rolled a siggie and puffed away.. I must say it stays lit longer the better they cured.. Good taste and very smooth. I was expecting it to be way more harsh.. Mixed it into my Colt's vanilla for further curing.. Next season I'll definately grow a few plants again.. The Nevil's Haze is bulking up nicely.. she seems pollinated but it's a bit early to tell for sure.. Just can not get the droopyness out of her.. Dried her out completely.. still no change..

@The_StonedTrooper Haha yeah some interesting smells. One smells super earthy and kinda like poo, another smells exactly like a freshly opened packet of orange sherbert.

I agree.. This will be my second indoor grow so I'm in for a major learning experience.. It's not about winning or anything, it's about the experience and what one learn out of it..

I'll PM you shortly. Cape Town'ish myself. Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

Are you playing with?

The early bird catches the worm, well in this case, let's say, the prize Good luck my brother and go for it

@Pants if you Cape Town side I have 2 seeds left. I've just completed a trial run on a clone library and kept a few local seeds just in case my 1l mothers did not survive. They survived[emoji2]. All my trial plants have been put out to flower. Lockdown has officially killed our business so my wife and myself have decided to convert our nursery into a cannabis sort of vibe. On the legal side I must add. Gonna be trying a grow shop slash clone library up the west coast. Shit, sorry, anyway, give me a shout if you want the seeds.[emoji12] Sent from my LM-X210(G) using Tapatalk

I started out in soil, Then a mate, convinced me to try the salts, but after changing to salts and coco, and not making contact with him for a year, met up again a year later, and he was using soil, and swore by it now. I didnt grow more than one grow in coco with salts, and found in my opinion, that the size was bigger, more dense heads, and unfortunately also came with, what I call a crack high. Have a hit, and wow, nice high, but a few moments later, I'm back to smoke it again, for that brief moment of euphoria again. Yes you high, but that punch is gone. For me, soil had a full high, longer lasting and more flavor, if done right it has such a sweet aftertaste and lingers on my lips for long. if I was growing for size, and for bag appeal and selling, I'd grow in coco for that. For me, soil and full organic flavor

I started with soil and Biobizz, it works. However I have moved away from that and moved over to coco with synthetic nutes as it just works better for me. Quicker growth, more control and cheaper as well. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Hey, I think mine is the T6 and not the S6 (has temp and rh probe and control). I love it though, the older ones were DC motors and had the smps, the newer ones use EB motors and ac straight from the wall. The EB motor seems to be more powerful and at full speed is louder and seems to move more air compared to the older DC version, so I run my EB fan lower than my DC one. The price will put most off though, understandably so. If the price was lower it would be far more appealing and I feel a very popular fan choice as its very quiet too.

Ja I also started in coco with salts. Now I mix my own soil. Feed 3 malted barley and microbe teas during the whole life time of the plants.

Damn all my calls were right, I should maybe consider betting

The chocolate thing is true. My friend and I did our grade 10 science project on the effects of chocolate and one of the things we found out is if you eat about 1.5kg(not exact) you can get similar effects to smoking a joint, obviously you would get sick of eating that much before you feeling much.

Was a beautiful shot brother, you deserve it.

Congrats dude..

I would say rather brew a tea and then dilute that tea with some fresh spring water. 1:10 the top spoil would have spent a few days by now covered in a layer of ash and a lot of the compounds have leached into the soil, I would say the top soil is more rich in terms of diversity looking at the macro, micro and trace elements, but by now the thick layer of ashes has gotten wet and leached out an abundance of lime into the soil. VERY IMPORTANT if you do brew a tea with the soil be 100% sure to check the PH & PPM of that tea before going all willy nilly with it!!! lime can cause big kak in that regard

Very true man. And especially with all the crazy stuff that happened tonight the crowd was epic. Best fight card for a very long while.

I just saw this now. I’m a bit speechless. All I can say is... thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow! Have totally forgotten what it's like with a crowd! UFC leading the way for the return of crowds to all sporting codes.

I had heard of that yes, but had not actually done my own trials as per say, on either in fact. But the chocolate makes perfect sense and along the lines of the anandamide working with your brains anandamide, giving you a uplifting experience. What I can guarantee you is, that once you crack that chocolate, and then smoke, you wont be keeping any chocolate leftover

I've also heard of the mango connection with cannabis. But only ever read about it never tried for myself... yet. Consuming chocolate, especially dark chocolate also seems to improve/boost the effects of cannabis. This effect was personally observed so I believe there is truth in it.

@Green This is your nomination, good luck!

@Pants This is your nomination, good luck!

After scanning the forum with the time granted to me, I managed to find two family members we would like to recommend (not sure if we are allowed to recommend more than one?): @Green @H2Ou In that order. Haven't been long enough on this forum to get to know most of the family members, so had to go on post related data. Thus, I hope the rest of you, that have been here longer, can point out more that could benefit from this giveaway

Thank you for the kind words @Naughty.Psychonaut I believe as long as you doing something good for others without wanting or expecting anything in return, and doing it for a genuine cause, God will bless you tenfold

Well done @Dookie69 and @CreX Both very impressive photos and followed the theme so well, absolutely top choices.
