Hi Jellytot Could you please elaborate on the skepticism you have received on the forum? Were members rude and unhelpful? Perhaps your living situation is unsuitable? With regards to anonymity on the forum there is one clear point you need to keep in mind. Cannabis is still illegal in SA. Never attach your real persona to anything on the internet that can incriminate you. Your info may be passed onto the cops or the cops may see it themselves and then you're stuffed. We can't have a situation where posts on this forum are being used as evidence. Why would you want to use your real persona anyway Jellytot? Making friends in a place like this is highly not recommended

Hi Guys Happy new year to you all! I apologise for not sorting out the Annual Award Badges. I have been in an area witchout wifi access and very low cellphone signal too. Everything will be sorted out by tomorrow evening. Sorry for the delay!

Hi Jellytot welcome to 420SA. You say youre a newby smoker... how long you been smoking now?

A Merry CannaChristmas to all ye 420 folk! Hope you all have a blessed day

Looking good Syk! Careful with upping the nute strength cos she is showing small signs of a Nitrogen overdose with the clawing at the leaf tips (although that sometimes can be caused by overwatering too). If you see any signs of burn hold back on the strength.

How's the light hours in your area? If you can make sure it doesn't get more than 12 hours of light you should be in the clear

It's always hard to pin point what strain it is from a bag seed in this country. Your plant is very sativa dominant so you can be pretty sure though that it's either Rooibaard, Swazi, Kwazulu or Durban Poison. Or a mix between any of those. One thing you can expect is a minimum flowering time of 11-14 weeks so get those patience boots on

Big improvement CK :thumbups did you feed "alice" at all or has she improved on her own?

Hi Folks Hope you're all enjoying your December! Its been a busy month for me so far, so getting the Annual Awards in order has been a bit of a mission with the lack of time on my hands at the moment. I have started the voting for the Photo Of The Year 2015 so be sure to place your vote for that! I have set all the polls to close on the 2nd Of January 2016 now so there's still plenty of time for you all to vote. Please vote guys. Lets make the Annual Awards something for us to be proud of

Your plant is looking decent sykotic :thumbups are you considering a topping? I would suggest supplementing with calmag, although the promix is buffered with calmag so maybe see how it does without calmag. Have you got a PH meter and a EC or TDS meter? Those 2 instruments are essential when growing hydroponically

Here's all our nominees folks. Nominee order is randomized Grower Of The Year ajcapetown Totemic hydroman Green Leaf Organics TK Toby Rookie Of The Year Sir Smokealot Toby Wallis55 DeltaLabs Heisenberg Tree Of Knowledge Toby OnlyTheGood Green Leaf Organics Plant Of The Year Green Leaf Organics Totemic TK ajcapetown Photo Of The Year Nominees still to be decided Have I left out any notable nominees?

So what eventually happened to this log Reaf?

Congrats to GLO it is then we'll pick up on Plant Of The Month in January again.

Hey folks I'm sure I'm not alone when saying I've never dabbed some concentrates before. Never! Being such an ultimately rather expensive exercise, especially the initial purchasing of the correct dabbing tools, dabbing is simply out of reach for the average user. Perhaps some of our experienced dabbers can help us get started in the art of dabbing at the most affordable price? What items do you need to make up a dab kit? Affordability being the most important factor What are the most affordable tools and materials out there to make a safe, clean and pure extraction? The key here is affordability. Dabbing perfection doesn't apply

Really is too good to be true :'( as it states at the bottom of the article. I would quit my day job in a second to earn $72000 in 6 months(according to my calculation). Plus FREE HIGH GRADE WEED "making it immediately un-doable for many if not most people"

Should we award this one to GLO folks?

I see N def and Mag def on your plant CK. I'm pretty sure the mag def is the cause of those cupping leaves. Have the lower leaves yellowed an died? If yes its definitely mag def. It really is time to start feeding her now. As GLO says, compost tea will not do the trick. I'm no organic fundi but if you're not keen on Biobizz maybe try some of these cheap organic supermarket alternatives Epsom salts - for the mag def. 1-2 Tablespoons per 5L of water Seagrow and/or Nitrosol - for the N def amongst others Guanoflo or GoOrganic Seabird Guano - Not cheap at around R120 but cheaper than Biobizz I'm pretty sure these are deemed organic or perhaps I could be corrected. I don't see a problem with using them on an organic grow personally. These are only good for veg though so once you get to flower you're gonna need to make another plan. You don't wanna waste time holding out with the soil as it is now, you won't have anything to smoke at the end

*Forgot to mention that you guys can elect nominees for Grower Of The Year as well

Not a bad thing at all. That could potentially put you in line for a badge @jacks ... If you win Plant Of The Month your plant stands a chance to win Plant Of The Year. You can't specifically enter for these badges. They're achieved through competitions and posts throughout the year
