@420SA Can't you turn  into a "Love" selection option? "Like" just not doing it here 

This is more plant porn 

 

and @Totemic "Downhill from here"

In which parallel universe?  

Yeah man, always a hectic ride, pushing the plants to their limit in that day 21-42 peak flowering period without pushing them over the edge, then turn down the lights a bit, dial back on the nutes and allow them to ripen. 

Day 42

Downhill from here, as they move into their ripening phase. 3 to 4 more weeks to go.

Awesome. Keen to follow. Using those F1s, your resulting cross will be a poly hybrid, with many different phenos. Some will be slurricane dominant, others GTH, others Charlotte's angel etc etc.... expect the the GTH to dominate.

Not a bad thing, as this space is where you find unique phenos.

Likewise your THC:CBD ratios will be on a spectrum, and not uniform through the plants

What I find interesting is the comparison and how much extra foliage grew after the defoliation I did around the 15th. 

So even after 3 weeks into flower, still got some growth on the leaves and plants. A decent amount too I feel.

I was actually going to ask if you going to defoliate more...it sure is dense in there 

That does look like a larval stage. As for the little ones, it could be a combination of overwatering and heat stress. Fixing that may be as simple as transplanting to a larger pot. It seems like rootzone issues really...

With thrips you are going to have to treat systemically for a while. Thrips lay eggs inside the soft leaf tissues more often than on the leaf surface, so they are protected right up to the point of hatching.

Thrips are the worst of the insects to get rid of...even mites are easier to control 

I'll say yes man. Support local. This year has hardly started and many local breeders have stepped up and hitting hard.

I'd love to see our local market get established to the point where we dont need to be sending our money out of the country at 15x + exchange rate.

For decent veg you need to provide 300-600ppfd to a plant so it sounds like you are on track here.

Looking stellar man 

My first thought here is thrips as you said, from a bug infestation point of view.

What lights are your plants under? Are your plants getting enough light to utilize a full dose feeding schedule? How have you been feeding with the biobizz? Every watering? How often do you fertigate? 

How are you going to deal with humidity buildup? Invest another few K into a dehumidifier?

Just how sealed off and isolated is your actual grow space. What is the size of the space around your grow. Ie. Is your tent in a room? How sealed is that room? 

Trying to seal off a grow space, and still cater for all the needed air exchange/minute, while keeping humidity and temperatures in range will be a feat on its own to dial in.

Are you able to provide the plants with the DLI needed for the extra CO2...otherwise maintaining double ppm concentrations is a waste of money. 

Really I'm shooting in the dark here as you haven't shared details about your space, your lights etc....

It seems a super expensive, complicated  move, for not wanting a higher yield...

Those phenos are all looking pretty consistent with each other. Are you picking much difference in aroma  between the phenos?

Not much of a difference. Pheno 3 is more indica, and has a more pronounced hashy spice in there, while the other phenos are pretty much the same, and have a much sweeter profile

Day 35

Not much I can say at this point except that its smelling just fine in here.

I love the smell of cannabis plants in flower.

Man every time I walk into my house I smile, thinking my house is actually allowed to smell like this.

Geeze bud.. You just won the beaver hunt compo....

Looking awesome... they half way yet?

5-6 weeks is the peak, then its downhill for the next 4-5 weeks as they ripen.

Day 28

So I had to raise the shorter girls to get an even canopy. Sweet smells of grape or berries and ice cream developing.

Some lockdown 1.0 inspired tobacco replacement plants getting there now.

Leonotis Nepetifolia

Mullein

Got stuck in with a little defoliation this morning. Opened up plenty bud sites that never really made it past the net. A lot more light penetrating now, but still have a pretty solid canopy left.

Looking good there bud.. Stretchy little shits aren't they..?

Actually did not stretch as much at all. 1 to 1 1/2 times stretch. 

Day 21

Frosting up all over the place now. 

I'd like to send out a huge thank you for your support.

The 2020/21 season drop has been one that has seen my seeds reach grow spaces over the whole country enmasse.

As always, I look forward to following your growing journey of  

It's a busy year ahead for me and my next drop will only be next year again.

Thank you again!

These plants start life so small and seem to take forever to grow....but when they take off they go fast.

This is about a decade before Nguni. Thats where nguni is, history. I work with some breeders I trust now, hand out genetics to guys I know who will work with them and have the street cred, passion, patience. If you realised the shit I received, idle death threats, hate from guys even on this board who never even bought from nguni, I realised it was not worth it, especially since it was still illegal. Too much stress, although nguni seeds are still being grown today.

Was recently going to send 420 seeds to a group I support, but was told literally to mind my own business by one of their dark horses. Was told i was an uneducated drug addict and ironically an article was published 4 days after his unwarranted trolling,  and I was quoted in saying "legalise all drugs". .

History is still being made, I am about to start consulting for someone interesting, he revolutionized the cocaine industry, not Rick Ross, Freeway Rick Ross. He has two new cannabis brands that I am keen to help.

Sad to hear, but also good to hear that that you are onto bigger better things.

Got into it when I was about 9 years old. Was skateboarding, mates older sister told us about smoking grass. So we took it literally and rolled up some old lawn clippings in some paper and tried smoking it around the corner. Tasted like dog shit. So that was my first false start. Ended up at a new years beach party when I was 14, on the north coast around a fire, joint comes round and that was the first real smoke. Loved it and was hooked for a couple years. Smoked and dealt throughout my teenage years, got into lots of shit, almost expelled, almost arrested , beaten, cops never caught me, and they tried many times.

Went overseas and realised there was so much more to cannabis, introduced to some up and coming breeders, a saffie imported some hash in his shoe, bought some products from bodyshops new hemp range during the mid 90's, hit Amsterdam, bought the Howard Marks book as it was just released, Mr Nice book at Heathrow airport after it being recommended by a friend. Oh and the other big thing was I worked in Switzerland as a gardener in 1997, we had a huge greenhouse up in the mountains, a couple sativa's grown, and on my weekends off I used to go into the same village mentioned in Mr Nice and could openly buy weed from one groovy shop, so it really opened my eyes to what cannabis was. However in those years, DAGGA was hugely frowned upon, it was not like it was today, the stigma has changed so much. Proud to be a stoner.

Where is Nguni here. .. that's history bro.. actually when is nguni making a comeback?

As another week passes, the first 3 bubbleberry plants have been axed from the hunt. Mutated, and stretchy unwanted sativa.

Bubbleberry

The THC Bomb is pushing out what seems to be a random pheno set.

3/4 Strawberry Fields up. Right off the mark, pretty stretchy seedlings, and the same height as the bombs, and Bubbleberry.

Going to have to pot up soon. Just holding back a bit to get my timing right.
