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

Looking great cheese!!!

sorry dude. Just added it to that post now

Ya looks like those seeds were duds then... trainwreck is GHS right?

I think that was their old chart CK, check out this link and download the spreadsheet from that page. You'll see the dosages have been upped http://gthydro.co.za/products/196-nutriplex-gro-1l.html

Which chart are you guys following? as it differs On Gthydro's site there is the Mixing chart for 'Herbs' which I'm relatively sure is directed at we're doing That chart differs from the amounts indicated on the interactive chart which has a closer ratio to what I use. I'm not sure if the feeding charts have changed but last year I seemed to find a sweet spot by multiplying the recommended feeding amounts by 1.4 or something like that. I have the feeding amounts stored on my growbuddy app Here's some of the amounts I feed with and have never encountered any nuteburn or def's... (per 10l) Flower Week 1-2 - Grow 14.5 Micro 21.5 Bloom 27 Flower Week 3-5 - G 16 M 20 B 40 Flower Week 6-8 - G 16 M 18 B 40 I always add 100ppm of calmag to the mix as well

Quick update The flowering girls are now 14 days into flower. Cheese is looking a little hungry. Gonna water them with some compost tea this afternoon which has been brewing for almost 24h now Compost tea brewing The skunk is going into the tent with them today. The bubba went in the bin about an hour ago, let this be a good warning sign to anyone considering buying GHS seeds. These plants have had the exact same feeding regimen, exact same medium and look at that BK, what a totally useless pathetic piece of plant she is The root structure was very poor compared to the skunk which I repotted 4 days ago. Im actually quite chuffed with the amount of growth I got out of the skunk Skunk on the left, Bubba kush on the right... GHS

Fantastic looking build CK! Hope it serves you well! How are you germinating the seeds?

There is certainly fire but there are one or two decent strains of theirs. I was given 15 of their seeds. Kings kush, Jack Herer, AMS, Bubba Kush and Exodus Cheese. 3 seeds of each..... and the results have been mixed, mostly bad. Haven't grown out all the seeds though. The kings kush was a complete dud, one seed wouldn't grow past 20cm and the other 2 wouldnt germ. The A.M.S was pretty average, has a low yield and didn't like the smell. Their jack herer was a winner though, a strain i would definitely grow again, really stank, loved the aroma and high! The Exodus cheese was not too bad, not a keeper though, low yielder. Bubba kush was ok, buds were rock hard but taste was not great at all and didn't like the high. Pretty much indicative of cheap, mass produced seeds

Quick Update The seedlings have been vegging for 15 days now, another 4 days and they'll have to be flipped. The skunk(left) is looking pretty good, the BK not so much, but we could very easily attribute that to its breeder. Have had trouble with just about every GHS seedling I've ever grown. Feeding them with a ppm of 380 right now. 120ppm of calmag and the rest nutriplex Not much to report with the flowering duo, they've been in flower for 9 days now. Gonna give them a a good defoliation tonight. Harvested some worm castings on the weekend which I'll use in the compost tea for the next feeding

Thanks Trail. My skunk was also a freebie from bonza, BK too. So this is kinda a freebie shedding exercise. If these phenos are keepers I'm gonna be bitterly disappointed. Cloning them isn't an option Guess this will be a good showcase of what you can get with just 3 weeks of vegging

the timing was literally perfect. Told him I was starting a small grow and he just happened to have 3 plants which needed a loving home, I could only take 2 so unfortunately the 3rd had to be put down. It's such a blessing cos I was looking at about 20-30 g's collectively from the 2 seedlings I was looking to grow out initially. The CannaGods can be very generous sometimes

Yea apparently the tracked parcels go through a more thorough scanning process here in the cape. I even asked an online salesperson for bonza and they said peeps in Cape Town should choose untracked. Trail youre not from the cape right? Hence youve had no issue with tracked parcels
