Harvested.

Today I decided it’s time for more wattage in the tent. It is going to be cold next couple of days. It also looked like they can handel more light. I am only on the 185hlg the other one will be kicked into action when we reach flowering.

Oooooh man it's been a while So this season has been a hectic one and as life goes we can't spend all our time doing the things we love Gonna be a short update of the last pics I got in my gallery as my notes on some of the strains I tried out for the first time are a mess atm Tortoni by @Totemic Easy to grow - I struggled to keep it around the size I would've wanted; side branching can easily get out of control and plant will definitely need supports/ties if you plan on growing it a decent size - I'm really bad with picking out specific terps but I can definitely say it's terpy AF. Plant #1 - Plants #2 -

Almost end of week 8, still waiting some ambers…

Outside plants looking nice and frosty, much like our weather at the moment. I may do this more often, veg indoors then finish up outside. Maybe do some Indica's next, they're generally better in the cold. Indoors not doing badly, despite clawing. Needing to tie a couple up to prevent falling over. Next time I'm going to get/use a net and actually spend some time shaping the canopy. Looking at between 8 and 10 weeks flowering time, which means they'll start coming down round end of month.

This isn't related to this thread - but I did a open pollination with my Higher Primate pack from Bodhi Seeds (yes I mixed pollen from all the males together before brushing it on them) I hit it super early as I could not wait - it was pollenated indoors at a buddies house, I just have them over at my place in a little hot house till the beans are ready they are in like 2.5L pots Edit : 4 males and 5 females were used will make a thread once I got all my shit together

That is highly likely man. Both points. Guess that i was caught up in that "mystery strain" fantasy and forgot my logic at the back door haha! Will still monitor this soldier.

Slowly but surely.

Auto's doing what Auto's do

Welcome to the diary of my 3rd grow (technically)! After a great 1st harvest I popped some Auto seeds by a local breeder. It failed terribly. Think I'll be sticking to photo's for now haha A great friend and fellow member of the forum felt sorry for me having seen this, convinced me to let them go and gifted me 4 plants he had in Veg. 3 of which were cuts from my last grow. (Thanks buddy! @CreX) So in this diary we have 4 plants, 3 clones of pheno #3 from my last grow (Deluxe Sugarcane) and a Bananium, all from In-House genetics. Super excited for the fruits of this one! As you can see below, all 3 plants were at different stages of life and so required a bit of a change in the way I grew these. (Sorry for the bad picture) I went out and got a SCROG net, this seemed to be the only way to end with them all "Somewhat" level. I'd just keep tucking the larger 1 until the smaller 3 were able to catch up. The Bananium was not stretching as quick as id like, thats the most-left plant, raised it with a plastic bowl I had in the kitchen and flippped shortly after. They were left in Veg for a month, weren't exactly the happiest plants when received, so was happy to see it all sort itself out once put in bigger pots and given some food. I'm still going with BioBizz nutrients, in Veg I switched between Bio-Grow and Fish Mix and used both alongside Bio-Heaven. Sticking with 50% strength for this grow, and have been watering at a PH of about 6.3-6.6. Having a slight pest issue this time around, I believe they're fungus gnats, opinions on them seem to vary but I'm managing with them it seems. Trying different ways to get rid of them without the use of pesticides as I have just entered the 3rd week of flower. Here's how they're looking now, will try update once a week from here. My 2nd net looks super sloppy, it's too big and doesn't make for good pictures, but here it is.

Update time Nearing end of 4 week since flip. Flower has really started to come on nicely in the last 7 days. Any temp advice..? Conflicting advice on the web regarding ideal and acceptable temps during flowering. Obviously don't want to waste eskom on heater if not really necessary. 20 - 23 with lights on during the night 18 - 19 with lights off during the day

Howzit growers! I've been observing an extremely hardy plant thats been growing in a certain location for the last year. This plant seemed to survive the whole year, maybe even longer before i started noticing it growing randomly in a private estate. No care given and only rain water as far as i can tell. Very dark green, compact structure and most importantly, what sparked my attention was that there still is no sign of flowering. Could this be an original landrace strain from the Zim/Mozam builders that dropped a seed perhaps? Will take a pic soonest and post. Don't want to draw attention to the plant

Ja scheme that i'm going to take a cutting. It might be something special or not...Those crackheads don't care about strains. Mix is mix vir n bottelnek haha!

Been a good year for bud rot

This thread isn't really about this breeder or strain but I'll dump it here. Oni Seed Co - island G (plant 5 got 2 females and only one made it - left to long and it started throwing nanners

Velvet Skies x Confidential Cannoli Super easy to grow plants + fast finishers 6 to 8 weeks (I had one plant that I felt 9 weeks was the sweet plant) - overall they did well, rain got to them a bit late flower and I did end up having to remove a few branches due to bud rot. As mentioned in my other thread - notes are a mess so uhh here's a little pic dumps

Have heard a few stories of impossibly large cannabis plants and have personally seen a number of large cannabis "Trees" (3-4m tall and wide/25cm dia main stem) that seem to defy their standard cannabis genetics. Its difficult to think that they grew that large in 1x season, possibly the plant revegged naturally from the previous year?

I also thought that it could be male but not even any sign of male flowers. This plant is getting full sun and flowering was supposed to be triggered by now. Ruderalis perhaps with a continuous lifespan? Haha if that even exists...Im just speculating for i've never seen a plant going for over a year without flowering at all.

I know is the opposite what they write the issue is the sugar isnt enough to get to the right Brix numbers. 1 liter Grow = 750ml FishMix + 250ml molasses Grow for Veg is fine to get the sugar you need. I also am more on 12% in Veg. Flower i prefer 15% or more. Is also a question of strain, but i noticed no negative side effect if you even go to 20%. Low sugar means less photosyntesis.

When i get regular seeds i make my own seeds. Right now i buy the seeds. This batch is Nirvana. 25 seeds per 1.2x1.2 area. Had 96 from 100 to pop and sort out depending on growing strength. Full tent, want to see if i can reach 1.5kg dry per square meter. Doing my homework for the coffeeshop i want to open when legalized, see where i stand, what my climate control can handle. New location, had to build setup new.

Next batch of ZxP has been chopped this morning. 5 colourful plants in all, and some nice full buds hanging off the branches. I am going to slightly modify my usual harvest routine. Usually I would remove all the big fan leaves and then lay the branches on a dry net in a closed empty grow tent. This time around I am going to hang the whole plants upside-down in an empty grow tent. My intention is to slow down the drying process and to put a little more emphasis into a proper cure, seeing as I have some good stock for once and am not in such a rush to get my fix This is looking to be some of the best ZxP I have grown yet. Now to get a full tent of it!

Pricey but COA certified and Its breeding quality cbd genetics.

ZxP is 8 weeks tomorrow and the Wedding Cake is 7 weeks. The ZxP is looking ripe for the picking, so I will probably turn the taps off tonight. The Wedding Cake still looks a bit green and glassy so it will keep going, maybe through to 9 weeks. ZxP Wedding Cake My Organic Tent™ is at 3 weeks into flower and is pushing some good flower already. I am going to bump up the Biobizz ratios a bit. I have been alternating between feeds and fresh water so far. I am impressed with the results of the Biobizz nutes.

I think we made a kak load of feminized auto seeds. We're going to need some indoor testers. Anastasia 99 x ak77 and ana99 x old school cheese from fastbuds. All auto

@Naughty.Psychonaut, yea probably right, but it's only some of them, and not much I can do about ot now. It might be the medium, or the fact I use same feeding throughout veg and flower. The crystal's are looking good though, and no signs of PM, which is my main goal for this one. I'll add a couple of blocks of coco to the substrate for next grow, and maybe just use the greenhouse powder on veg. Need to try some of the 'flower power' nutes now available.

When you start your regular seeds outdoors this time of year they will almost immediately start to flower. If you have a lot of regular seeds, this is a good time of year to start them outdoors in 1L pots if you simply want to hunt phenos. You can spot the males much earlier. We spotted these 6 females this morning, repotted and moved them to the tent to veg.

Goodmorning all, just a update from the plants, they are going well. I mistakenly left the irrigation running and flooded all plants so they havnt been gettin anything, didn’t do too much damage luckily, will try get the plants out soon for better pics and updates.

1.Next batch of clones busy rooting-(Bluecheese and Purplebud x Swazi)Will be selecting the strongest pair of each strain attempting to create some feminized seeds using STS. 2-3. Normally veg clones for 4-6weeks depending on how they respond. Few of the clones don't like the soilmix, got some clawing (suspect N tox) seems its too strong for some of the girls. Will add 50% coco to the mix and see how the fare. Also fighting some thrips and whitefly...pita. 4. Our diy drying racks working like a charm.

Evening greenfingers, Hope the hands and fingers are holding up, trimjail is not funny and good trimming scissors are worth their weight in gold or bud, whichever you prefer... Still have a few big sativa ladies still going, uuhhmm....what is left of them after the lekker k@k weather. Wasnt as bad as DBN and southcoast but still wasnt funny. Enough broken, snapped and twisted branches, even with our diy "storm netting" in place. Just mend and save what you can and cut off what you can't. 1-2. 3x Swazi bagseeds with good vigour, had a time controlling their stretch. 3-4. Lemon Fire looking a little worse for wear but her buds look good. 5-6. Blueberry clone showing some an excellent bud to leaf ratio. All droopy after the weather but soldiering on. 7. Start of the winter batch, all clones. Fruitpunch f2 and f5, Golden Malawi, WWxMango. They'll be small, but winter terps are something else. Growers' reserve.

Alright. This has started much later than I anticipated. But seeds have been soaked and some are in the pots already. The amnesia haze did not make it. But @Totemicgave me some replacements yesterday. Gorilla Cookies and wedding cheesecake from fast buds. We will see which of them make it. The Sour Apple from HSC is up and running a new one in the mix. It was how ever germinated first.

Today I harvested the two ZxP and four KmintZ. The KmintZ had some interesting colours on one or two branches that I will try get better pictures of during the day.

I have pruned a little bit of the ZxP plants in the Organic Tent™. I like the shape I have managed to get thus far with some simple LST. I have decided to flip them to flower today and will add a net in a day or two to help manage the upcoming stretch period.

To make me feel better I took some pictures of the surviving KmintZ cola as well as the untouched ZxP. Harvest will likely be this weekend. KmintZ ZxP

Plants are in 2 weeks flower now, experiment plants upfront, control above and to the right. This experiment might finish outside.

The end of week 4. Shaping up quite nicely. Wish I had got the canopy more even but I'll learn from that! Going to take it a bit easier on the nitrogen me thinks, tips curling on quite a few of them. They need water tonight, pics taken while ladies were thirsty. Bananium: Deluxe Sugarcane: Tent:

Aaamd done. Sheesh. Trim jail is real. Not sure I’m a fan of big plants, much prefer a 1 hour trim every month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick update, every time I water the other plants, these get 1/4 dose of bloom nutes. They seem to be responding well, will move to half dose at 3 weeks

The frost on these Deluxe Sugarcane pheno's can be seen from week 2 of flower already. I love it

@Ill_EvanI wasnt joking! Its doing the job though, just looks shit!

They are looking good man. Not a single problem from what I can see.

Pic taken - 23/01/22 For some reason I only have a pic of the plant from this day so yeah

Some SCJ's to be added later, only germinated them on the 21st.

Strawberry Crosses

Pepe le pew all 5 of them came up

Stormtrooper CJ x3 of them came up

Strawberry Crosses (Strawberry Cuda and Strawberry Jedi) only x2 of each survived the first week, think my soil was to much for them as it's a potent seedling mix (I usually use it for pumpkin and baby marrow seedlings since they are such heavy feeders)
