Hi all. I've been a stranger the last season but I'm back putting local genetics tk the test on the West Coast. Starting off strong with @Totemic and co. (Have a inclination @SkunkPharmwas involved) or other way around. Bobby's Widow x Sweet Cheese F1. Then dropped some @Bay Seeds Mythic Candy Autoflower feminized today.

Hi, Nice to meet you! I am the new from South Africa, as a hobby for home cannabis cultivation

Congratulations!!! @Bay Seeds I see your Maverick, Top Cheese & 5th Gen Fighter are on sale MarijuanaSA's website. South African Marijuana Seeds - Marijuana SA

@Bay SeedsMythic Candy Autoflower feminized ready for the jiffies

hell all newbie grower here looking to learn and share thanks for having me

This stuff has proven effective for me and can be used during flower.

superb grow! phat oval grenade buds! ahh they gonna be popping specimens minds into far out space man.

Hello just got back into the growing scene, wishing everyone growing some happy cannadust

Top max always showing off

Leave septoria or cercospora Treat with a fungicide such as Biosulpur or Kumulus or if late in flower you can use san-o-agri

Same seeds but fully organic this time. Nice and short...Each nicely filled their 50cm x 50cm space. 3 weeks into flower

Hi hi I'm New here, I grow my own weed alone, LOL!!! I smoke my weed alone, I make lovely kookies with icing on top, I like to make own gummy bear sweeties and I eat them up by myself LOL!!! NOT FOR SALE

Remember autos don't like a lot of nitrogen and plant them in a big container from the start don't give them any stress only LST them the first 12 to 14 days is the most important if you mess up the plant might not have time to recover as it grows with age and not light cycles. But good luck show us some pics of your grow brother. And biltong and budz is one of the preferred choice here I've seen.

Autoflower is the easiest to grow because they flower by them self with age not light cycles. And when you use a tent that's the expensive way you need lights and fans humidity control all those type of things if you get alot off sun on your balcony I would say since it's your first time try it outdoors and see how you managed with it are you up to all the time it's going to take from you and all that alot of guys spend thousands and n growing gear then they still end up buying smoke. So get yourself an autoflower sativa or indica they are just as potent as photoperiod plant just a bit smaller great for a balcony I think it would be the best choice for you get some kelp molasses and cal-mag and bone meal and you would be fine

Yeah man, I grow mostly indoors and clone my own stuff, always end up with an extra that I just pop outside. No matter the time of the year I just let the plant do its thing. This gives me great perspective on phenotypical expression and how each "genetic" has many different expressions. On the same note of my one keeper that does better for me when flowering in warmer temps, I got another plant that does the exact opposite - warmer temps stunts bud development, it's like the plant doesn't like heat at all. Buds will mature way too soon, resin heads all turn amber, strats throwing nanners, plant wants to finish. The good thing is, when I harvest her during winter she doesn't throw out too much purple, cause to me that would be a sign to dump the plant. I seriously can't stand purple buds swell up like crazy, get very nice calyx stacks and the terpenes are loud as fuuuug.

Cheers for answer bud. I would never have been able to with so much info. Yes. Both those above mentioned strains was when I planted towards the end of outdoor season expecting to see some purple. Not because I wanted to fool people but because I wanted to look and learn. To be honest though, I'll leave the next late season grows until I can replace the shade cloth on my tunnel to plastic covering. As you mention, manipulation can perform wonders.

I forgot to ask how do you know what's a stud male and a stud female is it the one that pops and grow the fastest or because some start slow and next thing they past the early ones. That's something I'm struggling with selection that's my problem and it's the most important part I think.

Thanx man whas planning on getting from biltong and budz and there prices aren't to bad. Well a small plant would be better no stress about Seeds that don't pop. Bud there plants are all photos or can you buy autos from them aswell I mean the small plants because you can't clone a auto. That would be pretty cool actually maybe I should start growing autos and sell them before flower.

You don't need to worry about the.plants you get from Dagga Farmacy. They are generally healthy. You don't get a rooted clone you actually get a small plant. If you buy seeds just buy from Trophy seeds, african smoke shop or biltong and buds. Seeds are tricky though especially if you are new to growing. They don't always germinate and then you start blaming people. Other places in north that sell quality clones is either Golden-goose or African smoke head shop. They have actually hunted through a breeders pack of seeds and sell their keeper cut.

Bobby's Widow x Sweet Cheese F1 autoflower at day 26. 60% shade house compared to outdoor stretch.

Supreme Oreoz- Gary paton x oreoz

You know I think they should really start a stoners date club because it's really hard to find a girl among the general population that appreciates a good joint or a top grow plant. Any one looking for a marked gap at a social network there is one date a stoners for stoners by stoners Ould work?

So the first pot is only water and feed and that runs into the bottom one with the soil no no no I think Im lost here my guy but I really want to see this going into a proper grow.

I'll second you on that. I've had the opportunity to grow some fire thanks to @Bay Seeds.

That's a bit far of mate how did they manage that it's not even the same department . I would be pissed

No I want to turn an outbuilding Into a grow room of grid that's all

You guys should try temu they are the worst that's if you ever get what you ordered it's nothing like the pics I am just glad they don't sell cannabis seeds you will buy a GSC and get a Apple tree.

Thanks I'm going to let it go will post again n when it gets a bit bigger but looks like it's going to split in half where the cola is going to be

It's a good soil. Can't go wrong with it. Been around for quite some time now. Have a chat to them about feeding regimes etc.

North America is a good market to watch, we usually follow, I think we are seeing the peak of our greenrush. Not all business people are greedy, just like not all Canadians or South Africans, sadly we have an ongoing pandemic called corruption. I hate to say this but tax is not a bad thing to regulate things.

Not really if you look at statistics, the canadian market has data based on this and you will clearly see that the two markets are being brought closer together thanks to legalisation, and harm reduction.

But they will never match the quality that private growers have. And also I think it's because not everyone can tell the difference between weed so they don't trust or they think you selling them the same thing but the edibles are doing not to bad online.

https://weedmaps.com/news/2020/08/an-in-depth-look-at-the-study-that-discovered-thcp-a-cannabinoid-more-potent-than-thc/ A new cannabinoid has been discovered, and the ramifications could be massive. Scientists funded by the UNIHEMP research project have discovered a new psychoactive molecule: Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabiphorol, or THCP; and they believe that there are great scientific implications for the phytocannabinoid. Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoid molecules that are specifically produced by plants. There are several types of cannabinoids, including endocannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids, and phytocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids are compounds that are produced within the body by an organism's endocannabinoid system; and synthetic cannabinoids are man-made chemicals that cannot be found in nature. Phytocannabinoids, on the other hand, are a different beast altogether. They are those that naturally occur in plants and are found in a variety, including echinacea. However, the plant species in which phytocannabinoids are most prominent is cannabis. Because of cannabis' status as a Schedule I controlled substance in the US, there are several barriers that prohibit the scientific study of the plant and its constituents. Thus, a considerable portion of cannabis research takes place abroad. Many clinical and laboratory studies of cannabis take place in Israel and Canada, where there is federal research funding to support this work; but, the newly discovered THCP was characterized by a group of Italian scientists. Unlike the US, government funding for cannabis research is relatively commonplace in Europe. The discovery of THCP was enabled by the UNIHEMP project, which is sponsored by the European Regional Development Fund. A multi-disciplinary team of Italian scientists was responsible for the discovery of this novel cannabinoid, led by Giuseppe Cannazza of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. The researchers' findings were published in late 2019 in the journal Nature. THCP is 33-times more active than THC Throughout the duration of the project, the group studied a medicinal cannabis cultivar, dubbed FM2, which was supplied by the Military Chemical Pharmaceutical Institute in Florence. Using a variety of scientific characterization techniques, the researchers observed two novel cannabinoids, THCP and CBDP, and isolated them from other cannabinoids that were present. Following this discovery, the group artificially synthesized THCP and CBDP to create reference materials, and the synthesized versions were successfully used to verify the natural expression of the two cannabinoids in the FM2 cultivar. After the confirmation of the identity of the two cannabinoids, the group turned its focus to THCP. To study the compound, they pursued an in vitro experiment with cultured cells. This experiment tested the binding affinity of THCP with CB1 and CB2 receptors, using synthetic cannabinoids as reference materials. It was shown that, when comparing THCP-related results to the previously reported data of other cannabinoids against the CB1 receptor, THCP is 33-times more active than delta-9 THC. This finding is critical because the group also found that the chemical was present in FM2 at 0.0029%, whereas THC was found to be expressed at 3.9%; so, even in smaller amounts, THCP is more active than THC. They also tested the cannabimimetic activity of the molecule. Cannabimimetic activity is a measure of how well a substance replicates the effects of more well-characterized cannabinoids which bind to the CB1 receptor. An in vivo experiment involving mice was performed. Herein, the influence of THCP on body temperature, spontaneous activity, immobility, and pain was determined — the results of these tests confirmed that THCP acts similarly to other cannabinoids like delta-9 THC. Will THCP be important? According to the study, even at lower doses, THCP has more cannabimimetic activity than THC. Further, the group posits that THCP could account for the wide variability of patient responses in cannabis-based therapies, even amongst cultivars with equal THC doses. This means that cannabis' psychotropic effects, which the scientific community attributes to THC, may actually be due to the presence of THCP. Unfortunately, none of the original researchers could be reached for comment. However, experts in the field do have varying opinions regarding the study. Dr. Cecilia J. Hillard of the Medical College of Wisconsin said, “I think it is well designed.” She goes on, “[The study] has two important gaps, in my opinion. First, they should have compared the in vivo effects of THCP to that of THC 'head to head' so that relative potencies could be assessed. Second, I would like to know whether THCP has greater efficacy to activate the [CB1 receptor] in particular. THC is relatively safe because it has low efficacy at the receptor. If THCP has high efficacy (like the synthetic analogs that have also increased the tail length), it is a more concerning finding, as it would suggest that strains making a lot of THCP could be more dangerous to use than those that do not.” Expanding on how THCP could be more dangerous, Hillard continued, “The so-called 'spice' compounds are synthetic agonists of the CB1 receptor. They are full agonists, meaning that they are very strong activators of the CB1 receptor. Compared to THC, these drugs have significant adverse effects and produce significant dependence (addiction). So, my issue is that we do not know yet whether THCP is like THC, a partial agonist, or like the synthetic compounds, a full agonist. And my concern is that, if it is the latter, cannabis strains high in THCP will have more adverse effects than those that are low.” Dr. Samuel Banister of The University of Sydney states, “[The study] was well designed and executed,” concurring with Dr. Hillard. However, he goes on to disagree with the group's assessment that THCP may account for the variability of psychotropic effects across various cannabis cultivars: “While this possibility cannot be ruled out, the known potency differences for THC and THCP at cannabinoid receptors is relatively small, while the difference in abundance of each in cannabis is enormous. The same is true of CBD and CBDP, although CBD requires even higher doses to achieve many of its pharmacological effects. For this reason, I do not feel that minor or trace phytocannabinoids like THCP or CBDP contribute significantly to the psychoactive effects of different cannabis strains.” How this novel cannabinoid plays out in both medical and recreational use is yet to be determined, as much more research is needed. Nonetheless, this new evidence suggests that analytical laboratories in US regulated markets may need to expand their testing panel to include THCP.

Not sure about Potassium Phosphate but Calcium Carbonate is very hard to get into solution. Without using acid or letting it dissolve in soda water for a few days it's next to impossible to dissolve in pure water. If potassium phosphate is easier to get into solution I would say use that.

Thanks a lot Chris - DM'd

I am busy building a community garden at a local coffee place. I hear what you mean, and it becomes overwhelming at times. Draw up a business plan, finances, go around to another nurseries to get ideas. One small step at a time.

How do you guys feel about eckosil?

Welcome

You could reveg, try take two clones of one plant and grow them in different conditions to really check what the issue could be. My two cents, its probably just strain dependent. I'm only on my second grow, and my bud density qualms from the first grow were resolved by changing strain Everything else stayed the same.

You see the spacing is tight with the auto which is grown outdoor with the sun. Where your indoor plants have large internodal spacing. This gives me reason to believe its a light issue. You mentioned you using a 8 year old blurple light. I would recommend getting a new light such as a LED quantum board. I have a 120w quantum board from Green Houston, next to my old 100w Mars Hydro 48 reflector in one tent. (70cm x 70cm) and they work great together. When looking for a quantum board always look for ones with Samsung diodes. Ill provide the link to the one I purchased. There are different sizes and versions. But any quantum board that uses Samsung diodes such as LM301H diodes will be excellent. https://www.greenhouston.co.za/products/quantum-board-led-125w Depending on the size of your tent you might have to go larger or buy multiple. However if you just get one Quantum board, you can combine it with your old light.

So it can be used throughout the grow, but also depends on how long you vegging your plant for. However, Dirty Hands do have a nutrient feeding schedule for Orgasoilux soil if you want to add nutrients, which I have attached for you. The feeding works out really cheap as you don't use very much of the nutrients at all. You buy these nutrients here - https://jamiesgardenshop.co.za/product-category/organic-garden-products/organic-fertilisers/liquid-organic-fertilizers/ I've grown using their nutrients before and have had great results.

yeah I got the same Fruit Pastilles and the CBD seeds with my order from them, gave the CBD seeds away, but I'm keen to pop these fruit pastilles. As for the OP, overgrow, groen seeds, trophy seeds are all reputable and have pretty quick shipping, it really depends on what you looking for as each of these places carries different genetics. If you looking to do a run with Ethos Genetics, In house Genetics, Dutch Passion or Fast buds, trophy seeds is for you, they are slightly higher price than the other seeds banks, but they carry very good genetics If you want to do a Seedstockers, Delicious Seeds or Seedsman, then Groen seed is the way to go. For everything else, there is Overgrow. All three do also carry similar genetics like Barney's Farm, in cases like this, pick the website with the best price. As for best freebies, both Overgrow and Groen Seed are very good with this, there is always some free stuff with your orders.

Some homemade cartridges have worked like a charm, delivering smooth hits and tasty flavors. Others, well, not so much. It's all part of the learning process. The best part, though, is the discreetness. You're right; there's minimal smell compared to traditional smoking, which makes it awesome to use around folks who don't dig the cannabis aroma. Now, if you're really getting into DIY vaping, buying vapes in bulk can be a savvy move. It's not just about saving money but also ensuring you've got a steady supply of gear for your experiments. You can check out https://www.buyvapesbulk.co.uk for some options.

Once sister! Well done

More like Baeseeds! I see Bayseeds on many of the local seed banks.

It does not look like PM

Sounds like fun and games, and service is not what it used to be. Just smile and be nice, think outside the box. SAPO - last time I used them my shirt from USA arrived 6 months later. Previous to that it took them 3/4 months to deliver an arrival slip. So all in all service got better. Alibaba I bought a water pump and received a necklance. Gave up on them both.

Hiya @Cannabist, and other members reading this thread, not directed at @Cannabistalone... Perspective. From the consumers point of view now. We paid for a premium product, we expect one. Most of us have honour so we don't sit around plotting to rob seed banks, ja those arse holes do exist, I accept that, but then you have to accept that there are sum dodgy dealers/seedbanks/resellers? I think the point is this, imagine if they did replace the OPs seeds, then he would be here giving a shout out to these guys and others like myself would go check them out...A happy customer will send you other prospects. Also forums like this exist, so that WE can all help each other learn...why make the mistake yourself, rather learn from those more wiser than you, and nothing can beat first hand experience, good and bad... What ever happened to customer care? Ps, if I'm not mistaken the OP had a similar experience but was replaced by fast buds themselves, I stand corrected on this. That's what I call customer ❤ Personally I will only ever buy seeds that come in breeder packs, directly from the breeder, sealed with a tracking number from the breeder that you can go verify for yourself online, just like those from @Sacred Seeds, Merlin u rock man! See thats me giving a shout out to these okes, customer care was tops! But it was @Bakstein420 who told me about sacred seeds and so on and so on and it was @Stinger96 who told me about the forum in the first place, and so on and so on..
