Vote for your preferred commercially available soil mix of 2021 Am I leaving any out? Please comment with more suggestions for the poll

I know Futurama stocks it in the cape, dunno who else

Welcome @donnob Decent setup you got going there I see you signed up twice for the growoff. Did you receive the link?

I didn't see him mention that so ya definitely not Ca def then. To throw another spanner in the works, someone suggested he spray for mites... which could lead to more burn and even more confusion. So @Keegan I would really hold back on the pesticide spray for now until you've addressed the current issue, which definitely isn't caused by mites

@Marzcanna any particular reason why this was posted under conspiracy theories?

That was my first thought but Ca def displays similar. Could be many issues working hand in hand here. Bottom line is the plant has been getting too much attention and just needs to be left alone now for a while. @Keegan would you be able to give us a pic of the entire plant?

Dunno hey... that kinda looks like overwatering to me... or even nute burn edit: after a second look I'd say either calcium def or overwatering. There may be mite damage but the most visible issues there are not caused by mites

Been a week now since the seeds went into soil. Very evenly matched between the 3 at the moment They got their first dose of ExploGrow last night

Update on the competition purse. At present we are sitting with a purse of R2200-00 which means that 22 tickets have been purchased in total. These funds will be allocated to having trophies made for 1st,2nd and 3rd as well as cover their courier fees from the trophy maker and to the winners. It's likely we won't see much left after that expense so in all likelihood there will be no purse money allocated to the winners.

Unlucky dude that loner is looking like a strong ou though

Correct @GGG you'll need to make a plan. You actually already have snuck an advantage by having 4 seedlings to select the best 3 from. Willing to let you continue unless there are a number of disputes from fellow competitors...

That's right yes.

@donzomb your diary is out of date. Please update within the next 24 hours 1st Warning

Grow reports are allocated for completed grows. To help others decide whether they would like to grow out the same strain or not. It's basically a summary of a diary with all the data collected presented in a single report. For grow diaries you want to start a diary here https://www.420sa.co.za/forum/42-grow-diaries/ This is where you log a grow that you have on the go. Have a look at the other guys diaries to get an idea of how it works

All still good under the hood Right now they just getting plain water.

Hi unfortunately not no. You are welcome to still sign up and purchase a ticket to get the fem seeds

Good to see your diary going! Please don't forget to upload your pics. You were actually meant to document it on the day. Please make sure you read all rules carefully

@The_StonedTrooper Looking good man. You had a good shot in April's comp, but it still hasn't been a year yet since your win, hence why your entries were not considered. Your entries can qualify again next month

We've decided to go straight to announcing winners for this comp. Myself and the mods did the judging and the decision was unanimous 3rd Place @Marzcanna 2nd Place @Bos Our Winner @CoolJ Congrats guys I will be in contact with you shortly by PM

Please post your pic here. Links to IG photos will not be accepted Also please note the theme for this month in the first post

All 3 seedlings up and running

The HID's certainly will be helping with some heat. Gets cold at night here. I'm also more than happy to be donating my hard earned money to our good friend Eishkom. They deserve it...

We have 2 peekers and another just about to break the surface

All 3 successfully germed and now in pots. They're in a 1.5m x 1.5 veg tent - under a 400w MH. I'm old school but envy those lovely LED's you all have going As mentioned the soil for the seedlings is a very simple straight forward mix of equal parts EWC, Coco and perlite (being mixed in the pic below). I added about half a teaspoon of myco to that. I'm sourcing my EWC (earth worm castings) from a local supplier called Davley Organics. Organics Matter used to be my go to supplier for EWC but he moved to PTA sometime in 2019. Wasn't happy about that. I managed to find a supplier in my area today selling 125L bags of perlite for 250 bucks. KAK CHEAP! The beans are joining 2 other @Totemic strains in my veg tent at the moment. A Cherry Gelato CBD Fem and Choc Gelato Fem which will go into flower soon and free up some more space. I intend to start a separate thread on these 2 strains to update on their progress. They're in good shape. Will update again once the seedlings break ground
