Everyone is out here, throwing down heat in the 420SA Grow Off, and I'm just here like...

Whoop whoop, I won the day on 420 What a time to be alive, I owe it all my family on here for liking my content and comments

Feeling blessed. This year has been epic! I have shared a total of 1300 regular seeds, and now the first 1000 feminised seed are on their way to Swaziland. Next year there is plenty new gear coming, and hope that Totemic will continue to make a mark as we enter a new decade. Merry Christmas to all of you.

I'm Experienced.

Of course, it's no doubt, I had to win May the 4th be with you

This being my first real grow with using proper methods. Put these GSCookies into 48 hrs dark yesterday. Trichomes are just starting to go amber on these 3 girls. Top and bottom of these smallish plants in 5L pots are ripening at the same time, more or less so will cut entire plant and hang when ready. The red hairs are coming in faster now. I don't want my weed too stoney, though, so hoping 2 more days in dark before harvesting will be the sweet spot in. Fingers crossed :D

Mentor level achieved

If you plan to do Outdoor.. get your stuff ready And remember to take the plants inside when you expect temps to drop below 12C. October is a saver month to start. If you run a batch of Autos.. one batch, I highly suggest to start those mid November for fast ones and beginning Nov for slow ones. Good luck!

When you are a perfectionist, you become the only person trusted to wash and wax this brand new, limited edition Mach 1 1 of 90 in SA

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

Best grinder (it's a shredder! ) I know so far Most already know, a grinder not always does what it should do. I use for several years the same and friends just swapped, the thingy works to perfection. Santa Cruz Shredder, i use the medium version, 3 piece. Produces perfect fluff even with the most sticky weed... without, strangely, messing up the grinder. I use a small flat head screw driver to easy clean it... R40 at builders. The shredder is expensive... you find it here Vape Store Is used... Really a nice piece, reason i put it up just works and easy to screw apart.

Here we are, 2021... kinda happy 2020 is over. I wish you all a successful grow year and may 2021 sort you with some awesome weed! Stay healthy, stay safe, stay sexy!

Just realized I have been on 420sa for just over a year

"Another bitch trying to act wise and woke" - @Negus101, circa 2020

just might build another grow box

Latest update! (Bubbleberry GLUE) Flower time is upon me, looking bare... but I think the worst of it is done. Been such a joy getting thus far. Will be sticking to a progressive regiment with regard to feeding organically. But mostly taking it as it comes. @StickyD420 notice anything diff bro applied some of the notes I got, and now we streamline. Also covering a bit more volume after amending. Keeping an eye out for a good flowering spot. Trying to mitigate loadingshedding troubles. Or possibly thinking a rechargeable LED box light, plugs in the wall and switches on when lights go off? Or maybe small UPS route... but working out costing, and not even sure what it cost. Not to mention this cold, growth could be faster... heaters doing it’s best I guess... but no rush right But none the less This stanky bunch has made me quite proud ☝ What’s growing on?!

"As big as my forearm" confirmed statement. Sour Diesel auto fem, from MarijuanaSA.

Howzit everyone I'm a pretty experienced Hort who's just looking for more plant knowledge. I'm looking forward to learning more of the Cannabis genus and hope I will have good info to share too. Very excited to be part of the South African community!

Hey there my fellow Mystics, Thought I would share something lady-like from the younger ladies. So about 12 hours after their first LST session, the ladies covered their stems. The Cookies & Cream did not have a fan leaf shading her stem from the light, so this is what this young lady did... She covered her own stem, Amazing I appreciated witnessing this tiny adjustment and again just marvel at the awesomeness of nature! Till next time.

My fellow Mystics, It's here, the 450w Quad Board with Samsung Diodes 2 x Meanwell drivers and dimmer. (1290 PPFD) over 100 DLi. The ladies are loving it almost as much as I am. (I never in my life thought I would spend this much on a light, but hey I purchased half a sun for the ladies.) 420 Love till next time mystics.

Greetings again, my fellow Mystics, as you all know time is a currency more than is a commodity these days, however I shall find the time open grow dairies for the ladies here, Local Genetics - 420SA Cannabis Forum as @III_Evan suggested. And since all 6 Ladies, 2 x Cookies & Cream Fem Auto's, 2 x Girl Scout Cookies Fem Auto's and 2 x Sour Diesel Fem Autos are from MarijuanaSA, and all 6 took less than 24 hours to soak and sprout a tap root. - The 1st three on the 30st of March and 53 Hours later planted them directly to their final pot - The 2nd Three on the 5th of April, and 50 Hours later planted them directly to their final pot as well. I shall elaborate more in the appropriate section as mentioned above. All of them are doing nicely, the older Sour Diesel, as you will see in the diaries has a, what looks like a genetic mutation. (I suspect there will be quite the debate on that one.) Tomorrow will be their second feed - the older plants skipped the first week of feeding, the younger plants looked a bit stronger on their 1st week, so I gave them a feeding on day 1 (meaning their 1st scheduled feed - not actual day one), since they are all already in their final pots, I will be honest it's my first time with fem autos and from what I gather they stress easy and so I opted to go a way that would least disturb the roots. So fellow mystics, l shall update here, Local Genetics - 420SA Cannabis Forum soon. And remember, don't drink and drive..., smoke and fly!

So, turns out the raven they used was a Weasley raven, but on the calendar cycle of the 14th day of April 2023 on Herbal Valentine's Day it finally arrived. The druids of the GSR also sent another northling, 2 more golds and 10 beans of the Ethos, Lemon Diesel a strain I must know more about. Do any of you mystics out there know of this Strain? A few moons after this, I received another scroll and it read., "Good day, friend. Ethos Genetics is a revered cultivator of cannabis strains, using both traditional and modern methods to create unique and potent blends. One of their notable creations is Lemon Diesel, a hybrid strain made by crossing California Sour and Lost Coast OG. Lemon Diesel boasts a fragrant citrus aroma and flavour and can bring about uplifting effects. With its high THC content, it has been known to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. Ethos Genetics has also developed their own version, which they've dubbed Citrus Sap, by breeding Gorilla Glue #4 with Tangie. May this knowledge serve you well on your journey. - Unsigned" So, in a mere 3 weeks, I am now up to my ankles with scrolls of information from different druids. Allow me to bring you up to speed of my journey; It was Tuesday, March 28, 2023, when a raven reached marijuanasa.co.za the raven's request read: "Two Cream of the Cookies, Two Cookies made by Girl Scout and Two Sour drops of the Diesel - none that bows to light". The 3rd, 4th and 5th scrolls read as follows..., "I am CookiesAndCreamDruid, a druid of the Cannabis plant, and I come to you with tales of a legendary strain that has captured the hearts and minds of Cannabis enthusiasts for generations: Cookies & Cream Feminized Auto Flower.

(lol). The Next feeding will be on Thursday, April 20, 2023. I shall update again, as my journey unfolds. I am waiting for a very special and powerful artifact, the 450watt LED Quadro Grow board with Samsung Diodes and Meanwell drivers and a function to control the sun!

My journey began recently, I received a mysterious message from a fellow cultivator speaking of special strains and druids that old their secrets. It wasn't long after this that I received 2 scrolls..., I read them and, intrigued, I dispatched ravens to inquire further, across the mountains to retreive the 2 strains mentioned in these scrolls. The 1st scroll read as follows. "Greetings fellow seekers of the divine plant, I am MalawiGoldDruid, a druid who has dedicated my life to unravelling the mysteries of the Cannabis strain known as Malawi Gold. Legend has it that this strain was first discovered deep in the heart of Malawi, a land steeped in ancient magic and hidden knowledge. It is said that the local shamans and healers prized this strain above all others, using it for its potent healing and spiritual properties. The effects of Malawi Gold are said to be otherworldly, taking the user on a journey through time and space, unlocking hidden knowledge. and ancient wisdom. The potency of this strain is legendary, with its high THC content and unique terpene profile. Its rarity only adds to its mystique, as it is believed to be a true landrace strain, grown in the wilds of Malawi for centuries, untouched by modern breeding techniques. Sadly, Malawi Gold is now a lost part of this land's indigenous heritage, a victim of the modern world's obsession with hybridization and genetic modification. But I believe that the spirit of this sacred strain lives on, waiting to be rediscovered by those who seek its ancient knowledge and healing properties. Join me, fellow druids, as we journey into the heart of the Cannabis plant, unlocking the secrets of Malawi Gold and reawakening its magic for a new generation. Also take heart, experts debate ORIGIN of Malawi's TRUE gold. The region where the Nyika Plateau and the Viphya Mountains are located VS. The region where the Zomba Plateau and the Mulanje Massif are located. ...and even among the experts the mystery continues..." The MalawiGoldDruid The 2nd scroll read as follows. "Greetings, fellow seekers of the divine herb! I am NorthernLightsDruid, a druid of the Cannabis plant, and I come to you with tales of a legendary strain that has captivated the hearts and minds of Cannabis enthusiasts for generations: Northern Lights Feminized Auto Flower. Legend has it that this strain originated in the heart of the Aurora Borealis, where the spirits of the Cannabis plant dance among the Northern Lights and weave their magic into the very fabric of the universe. The effects of Northern Lights are said to be otherworldly, transporting the user to a realm beyond space and time where the mind is free to explore the deepest mysteries of the universe. Its potency and popularity have made it a favourite among both new and experienced users, with its high THC content and complex terpene profile producing a potent and long-lasting high that is not soon forgotten. Northern Lights has played a pivotal role in the world of genetic cultivation, as breeders have sought to harness its unique properties and create new strains that capture its essence.

Join me, fellow druids, as we venture into the heart of the Cannabis plant, unlocking the mysteries of Northern Lights and discovering the magic that lies within." The NorthernLightsDruid It was Sunday, March 26, 2023, when a raven reached greensmokeroomseeds.com the raven's request read: "Three Nights of the Northlings that does not bow to light and five ancient Golds of Malawi." But Alas! it seemed that the raven carrying the response was lost. Undeterred, I continued to search for any information on this elusive order, consulting with fellow druids and growers alike. While the trail seems to have gone cold for now, I remain hopeful that soon I will uncover what happened to the ravens. And so, a short time would pass, and a raven would return with a note... ...to be continued...

Thanks for having me here..

Probably the best looking weed i have ever grown. wedding cake (breeder unknown)

Hi Man so i have been growing out this wedding cake from you can you perhaps tell me the flowering time

How's this for a Zoot spot...

So apparently its not that difficult taking these shots. All you need is a decent camera with dope ass lighting.

I need more space to grow its time the gf leaves

Hi WesKush, thank-you for your interest and welcoming me to 420SA. Appreciated. I am a marketing agent, freelance, for a couple of selected companies that have unique biological and organic products. I am a educated in Nature Conservation and spent the last 22 years stuck in Hospitality, and Sales...Life does not let you go where you want unless you are determined enough to make it happen.... Anyhooo... I am now in a space that I am following my heart and passion for growing and organic farming. I think that Cannabis farming and the related industries have the potential to provide jobs and financial security to thousands of people who are currently struggling to make a living...So this is my goal, to invest my time in networking and collaborating with people who can make the Cannabis industry grow to a point where Hemp fiber industries are main stream... I have just recently finished put a plan together, found a financial backer and will be growing commercially this coming season. The pictures are from the outdoor farming ventures last season in KZN. I am from a farming back-ground and the one company I promote is involved in the setting up of Commercial Cannabis farming ventures here in SA, all legal and licensed of course. I have access to high quality 12 species, chitin rich, insect Frass, beneficial soil microbial additives and grow nutrients specifically formulated for growing Cannabis. Not the usual stuff found in Grow shops...not yet anyway! I am working on a couple of selected outlets. So that is my story.

Can only have a higher humidity, if a Tsunami would wash away the grow room

Happy New Year 420sa fam. I hope we have the greenest one yet.

Hey just got some seed called Wedding Cake Reg and Amnesia X Safety Meeting. Are these both feminized?

My first Spring seeds have popped. I have put them in polystyrene cups filled with mountain soil. When they are ready, they will go into the ground in the garden, which is on the mountainside. I am growing Transkei landrace exclusively this season. The journey begins now. Does anyone know where I can get some alfalfa pellets?

Hey dudes, my first post here. Critical + F1 Plant 6 and the last lady to Finnish flowering last season. So far its the best pheno iv''e grown from this strain. The dried flower smells and tastes of sweet licorice with a musty finnish.

Greetings, people from earth. I have been "window shopping" on this site for a few months now, just trying to get enough info to get my first grow going. I've had a deep passion for plants my whole life, and an even deeper passion for cannabis the last 13 years. I would consider myself kind of an hyper enthusiast, yep that hits the nail on the head. I want to thank 420sa for providing such a great forum for us locals to gather and share our stories and info on!!! I've always had a plant growing, but only harvested about 5 of them. I've had ghetto setups, all that, never anything amazing. Did a 10 plant outdoor grow last year, with a few OK plants only harvested 4 of them, but that's not where my attention is at. Got myself a 1mx1mx1.8m tent, 360Watt (probably 240True Watt) LED light, a fan, inline fan, carbon filter - all that... got a few clones from a buddy and here we go!!!! Actually, the ladies are all at week 14. Flowering for 5 weeks already. So far everything seems to be 100% as I followed all you guys' instructions to the T! I just thought it's a good idea to jump in and become part of such a great community!!! I have tons of questions, but always end up researching for hours trying to find very simple detail, just "window shopping" here has already made it so much easier finding the right information for a grower from the Overberg area. Anyway, blessed all you beautiful people! Hope you all had a wonderful day and are lucky enough to wind down at the end of all the crazyness blowing your favourite smoke! Growing Goodness!!!

Some Blue Cheese.

I'm thinking of posting the weird, insane shit that goes on in my head when im stoned on this page. Dont know how often I will post but there are some strange tales going on inside this brain of mine when im stoned.
