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.

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

Il stay tuned for the results I want to do a autumn grow but don't know what will do great that time of year semi outdoor?

Hello, what do you think it is causing the discoloration and the burn holes? It looks like the media has either run out of potash, the coco wasn't buffered and rinsed properly or the silica has kicked the pH out of range and potassium is unavailable. One or the other, those plants are showing a deficiency of K

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.

Bobby's Widow x Sweet Cheese F1. Going to sleep

Pest is a problem outdoors that's why I use buckets I take them out in the morning and bring Ng them in at night. I Olso did a plant outside on the first of September planted 2 sour diesel and 2 Kali mist lost all 4 seedlings to grasshoppers I tried spraying but the cotyledons where gone I still left them cos I saw some green but they didn't make it. So yes out side you need to do it manually iff you want good result. But your two looks mighty fine to me good luck with the 2 times a day watering you do realise they getting bigger more water buy December you will loose some weight that you can put on again with the munchies. Plants just know how to keep the balance.

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.

Autos looking good so far. Bobby's Widow x Sweet Cheese F1 in pre flower.

Did you know that despite legalization, black-market weed still thrives? There are three main reasons for this: Cheaper prices, Overregulation & Discretion Street dealers are often cheaper which gives budget-conscious customers easier access, overregulation by governments drives out legal startups & street dealers are often more discreet which appeals to closeted cannabis smokers Full article on this issue here: https://waltrothschild.wordpress.com/2024/08/28/top-3-reasons-why-black-market-weed-still-exists/

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.

It could also create jobs and generate tax revenue that can be used for public services. It’s a win-win for everyone involved but I don't think they would do that in the near future

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

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

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.

Do you think South Africa will do the same or better or worse than Canada? The thing with South African guys the are to greedy so even if they make it legal for selling I bet there will still be people going the black market way for tax and I think that's what holds them back to legalize marijuana. I you know your business men are as honest as the guys in Canada then you can legalize marijuana.

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.

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.

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

Finally got on marijuanasa, very happy day.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

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

It does not look like PM

I've been using AgriSil K50 for the first time and so far so good. Managed to revitalise some plants after transplant using it. pH was pretty high though and they recommend not mixing with any other nutrients when using it. I managed to pH the solution quite easily and used it initially as a foliar spray. I will do a soil drench with it in a week or so.

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.

A few last pics , huge rains coming Monday night so the plants coming down Monday before it starts

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..
