Got a little movement - directly into the soil feels a little less stressful than the method I used for the indoor comp (cotton wool). Possibly because the weather is warmer. Good luck to all the growers - hope your pips pop 🌱

They have bounced back nicely from the cat issue. Not huge a amount to show but want to keep feed alive. Will give nuits much later on at the moment its only water with some cal mag as our tap water is shite. I run a air pump in the water for a bit to help get rid of the cholrine ect.

Let me kick this off with a picture of some trichomes, as you can see these are clear - far from being ready. If I recall properly, they were from my Daquari Lime auto plant a few weeks ago. Entry #1: Excuse the watermark, that is from the software I used on my phone to take the pic with my microscope.

Top of the morning 420SA Beans cracked and tap roots emerged. Woohoooo! !![emoji16] 02/10/19 transferred beans to 10lit bags for eventual sexing. Lekker. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

There was some good feedback from my pollen post in the grow offs. So here's my second and final post for this month, going to stick to male shots as my theme😁 the pollen, from the king himself👑😏

Diary Update, week 18 (flower 7) Looking good, few spots of powdery mildew, but mostly gone. Seems what I read about ph'ing pm does work. Apparently the acid in lemon or vinegar stops and prevents pm. One if the colas is much whiter than the rest, read somewhere (here) that that's a deficiency, but rest seems ok, and I'm interested to see how it looks (and tastes obv.) dried & cured.

Moby Dick Week 3/11

Mic Check.

Diary update (2019/09/14) - flower day 45 (week 6) Four/five weeks left and things are looking reasonably good. I'm still taking off a few leaves every now and then when they look to be crowding the lower leaves. I had a small Ca deficiency issue but have increased the cal-mag and it seems to be better now - hard to say exactly as it shows up in the oldest leaves first, but no more with spots this week. The flowers are still filling in nicely, the lower ones slower than the top but still some progress

Week 10: Chocolope 002 will be harvested today. She was 0.5 meters tall and the biggest cola was 18cm in size. Thanks @420SA, @Totemic and all the sponsors that made this competition possible.

Chocolope 002 is almost ready for harvest. Will take measurements tonight.

#WinnerWinnerChickenDinner Congratulations to all the winners!

Week 9: Chocolope 002 is on Ripening schedule since Tuesday the 8th of October. The Cola's have put out nicely over the last week. Will take measurements in the course of next week, just before harvesting.

Strain: Red Cherry Berry Flowering time: 7 weeks Time to go : 2 weeks Started flushing on Sunday. Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Morning All, I am new to growing and I am not a smoker. Sounds wacky but I am more interested in growing for pleasure and relaxation. I am a very keen gardener. It is an interesting plant. Sadly I just planted 7 seeds of which 1 died and the rest are not good seeds. Either they are old seeds but planted seeds before and have always been successful. I purchased them from a seed bank in CT. I shan't give their names as they cannot be blamed and i like the people there. Just purchased different cheeses and will see how I do. Take care.

Well, the pyrol really did a number on the plants, but they'll be ok. Went for a higher concentration (40ml/L) than lower (20ml/L), so the thrips are probably dead, at least. Will keep an eye on it. Not my most impressive grow by far, but I'm sure it'll bulk up a bit before the deadline, and be a decent little plant.

Soil is sorted.. Seeds have been dropped.. Dechlorinated water.. Keeping it Organic.. 🌻 Seeds dropped: 17h20 23/09/2019 Such an honor to be apart of this!!

An undercover cop called at my farm in the sticks yesterday evening... “I need to inspect your farm for illegally grown drugs”, he said. “By all means officer, just don’t go in that field over there”, I replied. The cop exploded, saying “Do you know who the fuck I am?! I have the authority of the government with me!”, he shouted before pulling a badge out of his back pocket, “Do you see this fucking badge?! This badge means I can do what I want and I’ll go wherever the fuck I want, have I made myself clear?!” I nodded politely, apologized, and went about my work. A short while later, I hear loud screams, looked up and saw the cop running for his life being chased by my angry bull. With each step, the bull was gaining ground and he seemed sure to be gored before he reached safety. The officer looked terrified and continued to run for his life. I threw down my tools, immediately ran to the edge of the fence and shouted at the top of my lungs, “Your badge, show him your fucking badge!”

I was trained earlier this week when I did this..... DUG a hole for 1 plant is greenhouse. Smoked a joint and talked to buddy. So we both decided it had to go bigger.... I love digging holes Mr. Smeegol, it sorts out issues lol. And the soil was soft and a breeze to dig out Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Week 11 Flowering Its the start of week 11 and the Choco is most definitely not in a rush to get finished. She still getting some P and K, no N. Checked out SkunkPharms thread and saw him mentioning the the 12week+ flower on his babies. I might be out of the comp if I have a similar Thai pheno here, end of October is 12 weeks. Bit of a bummer expecting 11 weeks, a looooong flowering strain, then out of the comp for a unexpected pheno that takes 12+, lol, that's comps for ya! Let's see what happens, peace and buds yall.

Some delicousness from CannaSmiths.

Diary Update So no 6 is still doing well and the buds seem to be fatning up nice. Nothing to compare it against seeing that this is my first grow, but looks good to me

Couple of pics of the flowers

Strawberry amnesia - Who finished all the stawberries?😕

Week 7: Chocolope 002 is still yellowing up. I don't think she is a 10 week flower plant in hydroponics. Monitoring Tricom's at this point.

I'm camping a bit longer than expected! My friend watching the plants took this picture for me yesterday Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk

Thanks @Totemic, @Dank, @CreX. That is great news!

I think you are still good... A seed here and there won't ruin the harvest 👌 @Dank, lol all of my flowering plants are heavily seeded... Lucky I wasn't investing effort into them

Apple cider vinager 10ml in 2lt water and 10ml hydrogen peroxide...

Thanks @totemic my plant is not with me any more. But i will ask for updates.

Haha... mark that pot yourself.[emoji38] Its your territory, you need to lay down the law. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Organics 🤙🤙🤙 Best of luck dude.

@Dank thanks for the info there bro! Totally with you in terms of flip dates and week counts, I am more confused because in all my previous grows at this stage my buds were always much much bigger! But i am attributing this to my soil mix and a couple other factors that took place. So I guess I'm not confused more disappointed 🙇‍♂️lol. Appreciate the kind words bud. Your baby is looking amazing btw🏋️‍♂️ As for my "better half" -let's hope she sees this comment- thank goodness she loves it as much as I do. I'd probably be very single if it weren't the case🤣🤣 Peace and clouds homie ✌💨🤘

Hi, nope not as far as I know. He was very happy with his. I think it was just a bit mistreated, so hopefully a once off

Thanks @Dank, the pistils have not grown quite as fast as I'd expect/hoped this week. But not terrible I'd say. I guess its only a few weeks left may as well see how it turns out. I'm hopeful I'll still be ok Quite a few pods there, but lots of pistils too Thanks

@highchome if you can cull that hermie could still be aight. I'd cover it with a bag (gently) before removing it. A mature bean takes 3 - 4 weeks to form, however a stressed plant could make smalle beans in less time, dont qoute me tho. Those look like some nanners and a few propper sacks, might not be shitloads of pollen. Hows the girl looking now, still seemed like she was pushing white pistils on your last update. Hang in there bro

You will 100% get lower yields doing that, but you'll get zero yield not growing in the meantime 😛 Perhaps start a grow diary too. I got loads of advice that I think helped me get the most out of what I have. As you say, this is an amazing forum

Finally got everything and got around to mixing it, quite a satisfying task. And i think the end product looks fantastic. Can't wait to grow with this, thinking it needs something special.

@Smelly Joe I just messed around with topping, scrogging and some other stuff, because like I said it is not proper genetics and I actually just wanted to see if I could get the plants to grow and flower and learn at the same time - although I must say I wouldn’t mind to take a clone of my Indica, that plant just looks awesome and fat - I even split her stem in half at the knuckle where it was topped and “fixed” it with duct tape - worked like a charm and so I learned something

You can flower with 11 hours of darkness. Last year i started my plants inside and moved them out in September. They all finished in November.

Thanking the kindly brother and bless d growing and weekend to ya too... Told ya once, told ya before hands outta me pockets mr.Smelly...hahaha

Pot of gold.. Will give my left nut if I could get hold of some seed. Might throw in some Exodus cheese clones too.. One of the more pleasurable tokes I've had.

Soaked for 24H, none cracked. Planted 4 in 5l pots and 2 in 250ml pots.

Week 17 What lies beneath Been a relatively easy going week but have started to notice the temps rising pretty drastically in the last few days, been rather warm in Joburg. She is becoming nice and bushy now with tight dank buds hugging the main stem, few pistils turning colour but still long way to go on the majority. Looking at the top view you would never think so much is happening beneath. I should get one HUGE cola with a couple nice size nugs one the outsides. Happy growing. P.S - What are the feelings on defoliating during flower?
