420SA

As some of you will already be aware, David Acton of the Dagga Party, Gareth Pince, and another 18 individuals are currently in the Western Cape High Court right now challenging SA's cannabis laws. They've been in there since Tuesday the 13th and I'm happy to say things are going quite well. I'll be updating this thread with the latest news on the case. Feel free to share any other news or your views Holding greenthumbs

Welcome to 420SA grim You won't be doing yourself any favours by growing autoflowers first. Go for feminized seeds. Among other reasons, with autoflower you dont have any time for issues and recovery, and with a beginner issues are likely to creep up... Go for some feminized seeds and we'll guide you along Hope you enjoy the forum!

They are a pretty new site and according to the site they're not selling just yet. Very pricey too Will have to wait a while for a review from a brave buyer. I'd still suggest buying overseas

Great to hear SSA! DId they use a different shipping option the 2nd time round? 8 days shipping time seems VERY quick! You might find yourself in the fortunate position of receiving another set of seeds in your mailbox

Welcome @JoburgGold Thanks for joining 420SA. Enjoy your stay!

Juicy!

Would love to hear from Randburg police how this will ultimately improve the life of the guy that was arrested, and society as a whole...? Shocking! http://randburgsun.co.za/306316/randburg-police-welcome-six-year-sentence-for-dagga-possession/

Yes I'm based in Cape Town. I'm hoping too that there is a backlog at the post office. I think I will follow your advice and send Bonza an email even if its just to inform them. You can even go onto their site and use their live chat option on the bottom right, those agents are also usually very helpful and informative.

Its hard to say whether any worms died from it but the population is thriving right now. Saved them in the nick of time I guess. Lessons learn't though, now I know to keep excess rain water from the castings

*UPDATE Organics are 36 days into flower now and the skunk is 22 days in Things are looking a little more positive since the last update. The cheese looks like she'll hold out for me and still produce something of decent quality. I gave them a a feeding of seagro soon after my last update and they loved it! Some green returned and the leaves began to pray the light again. The JH is ok, still struggling to recover, most of the fan leaves suffered after the compost tea. I'm sure the lack of foliage will cost her. The skunk is doing great and has really put out some height in the last 2 weeks! Photos of the organics were taken 4 days ago. Photos of the skunk were taken last night

I reckon so hey... my worm bin has a flaw. The top lid has holes in it and there's nothing sheltering those holes from the rain. The bin has been outside this whole winter so inevitably it kept getting flooded. I actually just left open the tap at the bottom otherwise the worms would have drowned.

The castings certainly didn't smell of fresh earth, you reckon that's the culprit? As for the guano, why you reckon I ditch it? Pointless?

Those seed pods are tricky, I found the easiest way to deal with them is to lift the top plastic lid off and leave the cardboard dial thingy in the pod, press down on the cardboard dial and turn it until it comes to the seed section you want. The seeds wont jump sections that way Thanks dude, there's just so much going on right now that I don't even have the time to manage these 3 plants properly. Only have me self to blame

Pretty basic tea ingredients really... 1 cup EWC, tablespoon kelp meal, tablespoon alfalfa, tablespoon molasses and toward the end of the brew I added a tablespoon liquid seabird guano. Brewed in 5 litres of water which was then diluted with another 5 litres at the end of the brew... I did have a concern though before the brew... these are my own EWC from my worm bin and the castings smelt pretty bad hey, not rancid, but it kinda smells like the mud you get from the bottom of a dam, not sure how else to explain it.... which makes me think that perhaps the castings have gone anaerobic. I keep my bin outside exposed to the elements like rain, this winter was a wet one so that could be the blame...

Update Organics are 26 days into flower and aren't looking good I'm afraid :'( Im not sure if it was the compost tea but ever since then the JH has gone south. As a hydro grower I want to blame it on PH but I have no idea really... The cheese is ok, also didnt react all well after the compost tea, she could look a lot healthier too... im gonna feed with seagro tonight but I may even start using nutriplex with them... Skunk is 12 days into flower and doing fine, she went unfed for 5 days (been very busy lately) and so was a bit hungry, that's been addressed now and she's looking healthy Will update again soon

Strange!! From Bonza right?

Will do an update a bit later. Things a bit hectic this week
