Plenty of good suggestions above but if you looking to save some bucks consider purchasing from fans.co.za. They're essentially wholesalers and there's a good chance the TD and TD silent will be a lot cheaper than the hydro stores. I don't know how it is nowadays but it certainly used to be that way a few years back. If you interested, just email them for pricing. Courier can be arranged

2 beans have popped their tappies. They'll be potted tonight

Beans transferred into cotton pads after a 24h soak Placed the container with the beans in a humidity dome which is sitting on a heat pad. Will keep watching for taproots. Once the taproots appear the beans will go into pots

Gonna go organic. The seedlings are gonna be in a soil with equal parts of coco, EWC and perlite. I prefer using peat moss over coco but am only able to get hold of some next week and the seeds will need to be in soil before then. For veg I'll use the same mix as the seedlings with a few amendments added. Just before the switch I'll be transplanting into my own soil mix which I'll be mixing next week. Cutting it a bit short in terms of allowing the soil enough time to cook but I should be okay.

Nominees will be announced this week. Sorry for the delay!

I'm coming along for the ride chaps. Not competing of course! Seeds began their soak at 21h00 last night. They'll be going into cotton wool tonight

Was gonna DQ you for the lost sticker but realised your sticker is much better actually.

Even though it's a comp the vibe of the forum doesn't change. Help a brother out Only a pleasure. A huge thanks is owed to you for allowing this to happen. Without your beans, a fair growoff couldn't and wouldn't happen Let's hope this growoff does good things for Totemic Cannacraft Also a big thanks to all our generous sponsors who jumped on board. I still can't believe the value of this prize pool. The generosity among our community is a trend that keeps pleasantly growing, along with the good ganja.

Don't think we'll be doing a solo cup challenge. Quite a few people running that comp. An outdoor growoff is always worth consideration and we'll see how things go

It's very nearly time for you guys to drop those beans! OFFICIAL STARTING TIME IS 12PM 8 MAY 2021 Prize allocations have just been announced as well. You can find the post HERE

Thanks @CoolJ ticket purchased and payment received. @CreX please msg your details ASAP so I can arrange the collection

Great little trend developing here lads. By all means @monkeybar Crazy giveaway to be honest. Really nice vape. Mighty generous of you. I was considering threatening you with removal from this forum unless you gave it to me but I doubt that would remain under wraps for long

At present we have 16 growers who have paid for their entry tickets. Today there is a round of beans that will be sent out by courier. The next round will be sent out on Wednesday and if you want to get your seeds before seed drop you will need to make sure you secure your tickets before then. Beans are only sent out once payment clears. I will however continue sending out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until the 19th of May. (End of Seed Drop Window 22 May) Those that have signed up and have yet to purchase tickets are: @SmokeyZero @monkeybar @CreX @Dankmancpt @Toasted_Goods @tim

Yes

Yip and 420SA is getting blamed for allowing this to happen?... Some peeps need to wise up a bit Weed prices aside, how do you look at that PDF and decide "ya this oke looks legit" . Some total random on FB... no one to vouch... the 420SA logo looks all fucked up... prices don't make sense.... every single pic is pulled from the net... eish... One dude's email subject line was "Unlawful business". Seemed a bit ironic

Yo guys Awesome entries so far! I want to see if I can gather a few more entries from Instagram. I'm gonna make a post tomorrow so the new closing date will be 05 May

I've been receiving a few emails of late about some dude called Alistair Eli or Alistair Nixson (FB profile pictured below). The people who emailed me bought weed from the guy but did not receive their orders and he's gone silent on them. Basically they've been scammed by the guy. He's been posing as a supposed online dealer, distributing a PDF with our logo in it.... so just for the record to any of those who are wondering. He is in no way affiliated with 420SA. We also do not sell cannabis. Don't buy weed from him and don't order weed from some random dude spreading a shitty looking PDF weed menu on Facebook... it's not a particularly wise move

Be careful of not wetting all your soil each watering. You don't want your soil to dry out completely in between waterings/feeds. It prevents the uptake of nutrients and reduces your micro life FF soil is quite airy if I'm not mistaken so don't be afraid of getting it too wet during a watering. You actually want some runoff to ensure thorough "wetting" IMO, unless you water your plants very slowly... drippers are a different story. When did you transplant into those pots? If they haven't been in that soil for long I can't see how a lack of feeding would lead to your plants looking the way they do at the moment. They would still look decent, even with very little feeding. Quoting FF's website below "The nutrients in the soil should be adequate for approximately 2-6 weeks before additional nutrient applications are required." So this still points to a lockout issue for me, either due to PH, lack of thorough wetting, or perhaps your teas. Your watering PH sounds fine though so let's maybe look at your compost teas. How are you making them and do you smell the teas before giving to your plants? What kind air pump you using for how much water?

Your plants are looking hungry. That "burnt" look is actually the result of a def. A sure sign of a def is when the leaves start yellowing from the bottom upwards. Possibly a lockout. How often are you watering/feeding? Also, do you let the pots sit in those runoff buckets after you water?

Happy growing guys

Sorry to hear man! No space for just 1 plant? @DamDave please let us know if you're willing to accept @CoolJ's very generous offer

These members haven't ordered their growoff ticket yet.
