Exactly, and the law is bound to change soon again, and I look toward that finality. This is a very temporary grey area we are navigating.

It's the lacto bacillus in milk. If you'd like to concentrate that goodness, read up on making a lacto bacillus serum. Once you have a pure form of it, mix half half with molasses and it will keep for a year in the fridge. It has so many more uses than just being a super anti bad bacterial, its probiotic for you and your pets too.

R100 a gram indoor price is ridiculous. Growing my own puts my outdoor at less than R1 a gram. Indoor costs me R10 a gram with current eskom rates.

Yeah. It may seem daunting and difficult to grow cannabis. But it's not. Cannabis practically grows itself. Over the years as I have seen new growers come and go, the main problems are lack of patience as @SkunkPharm said, and misconceptions about fertilizer, where people treat it as a plant steroid, hoping to speed things up. We are a generation where everything must happen yesterday. Plants are own their own rythem. To me there is no better therapy than slowing yourself down to natures pace. Again, not putting THC down, but the value proposition is skewed, and the client is losing.

The thing is, once you are setup, running a 400w HID, perhaps 2 fans, in a sq meter tent...the electricity a month is less than THC's monthly membership. Reducing veg time with clones you can veg for 3 weeks, fit 12 plants/clones, and harvest 300 to 400g. 75% to 100% more cannabis at less cost. What am I missing?

Botanist hey? So what's the research then that THC is conducting? A horticulturalist is more appropriate with the current setting. THC is a growing/agricultural service provider, no mention of breeding or any specialized research into Cannabis, so I'm just curious why a botanist would betray his degree to do simple gardening... Its definately time to get actual Reps from THC here...so many questions and less answers.....

Gorgeous!

Planted this choco seed in March for germination testing. Left her in a 1l pot in the corner. Decided to see how she would go through her senescence. She did not hermie, and has reacted to the winter solstice. She has started revegging, so potted her up into a 20l pot. Nice little monster crop on the way that I may force flower in a few months.

The fact that it's a registered company means squat. It's the same as seeing a saps official and assuming he can't possibly be corrupt because he is a police officer. That being said, for someone who can't grow for themselves this is a good idea in principal. Only time will tell if the idea has longevity. The price isn't too bad considering general input costs into a solid grow. As for legalities of this....would saps see things the same way when they walk into a warehouse full of cannabis? Would they acknowledge that there are other owners of the cannabis, or would they arrest whomever is present and give the media another screwed story about a multi million drug bust?

Welcome to the forum.

Yes and no. Many factors to consider as GK said it's about the conservation of energy. If I have a 250w driver and I drive a 250w QB, those LEDs are running at 100% and very hot. So hot that you can say most of the energy has degraded to heat. If I take that same driver and drive 4 x 250w QBs, much less energy is lost to heat, and a comparable light intensity from the one QB is spread over 4 times the space.

Complicated approach imo. You need conditions that emulate the rhizospere. The fungi needs roots to effectively multiply. Here is a good read if you wanna go an agar route. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC123902/

Regardless, if the relationship is symbiotic or not, the way the mycelium penetrates and then multiplies along the cells is infection. It hardly needs to be only pathogenic to be considered an infection. Cannabis does not make use of ecto fungi but endo arbuscular fungi. The root cells host the fungi, hence the roots are infected with fungi.

The thing with spores is that it takes about 6 weeks for the fungi to establish and become active. Often if you inoculate when planting a seed, the roots have grown away from an innoculation point. Live fungi has the advantage of being able to infect the tap root and grow along the roots from the beginning. Budgie seed is millet. Costs about R10 a kilo.

If output 1200w your amperage needs to be lifted to 5.45A. Your unit is only pulling 2.1A. LEDs are driven at 25% efficiency to get them to last 50000 hours plus. I have never found an led unit being driven higher than 30%, so I really doubt your output. The image above clearly states a 240w draw. The light itself is not an electricity generator and can't add 1000w on it's own to get to 1.2kw. Further, if your light is running on our 220V circuits then the units actual draw is not 240w but rather about 480w actual draw. (P=U x I) -- (U)220v x (I)2.178A = (P)479.16w It may seem confusing but that's just how the marketing around LEDs evolved, and with the given specs I can't find a single calculation that matches a 1.2kw draw/output.

Look. I aim for praying leaves if you don't like the leaves praying then over water to get them to curl. Don't overthink it. Your plant is showing very little stress. Praying leaves are good no matter what that site says. And as Skunkpharm says. That led is being driven at 300w max even though there are 1.2kw LEDs in there.

Praying leaves = 110% (Perfect plant metabolism) If the light are too close, too intense, too hot, your leaves will cower away, and burn. Those tips are saying your ec is too high. The fact that your leaves are praying shows it's a minor issue. Just cut back on feeding. Skip a few feeds and just water.

Your best way is to inoculate a pot and plant wheat grass or millet seeds. Let the roots fill the pot and then snip the roots up to use as a fresh inoculant. The fungi spreads with the help of the roots they infect. The commercial mycoroot is an expanded clay microporous substrate. Leca.

Adult beetles are drawn to flowering trees covered with pollen. Jasmine, peach blossom etc. Might eat a male cannabis plant as there is pollen. Don't think they will go after a female plant.

A hermie. That pollen will also be no good.

One of the articles I read, and that led me to making the decision to drop the SSRIs like the hot potato it was. https://profofpot.com/serotonin-cannabinoids/

I really think so. THC targets the same receptors and increases available serotonin. So while I experienced a brutal physical withdrawal, from a mental or psychological point of view, I suffered no drastic negative shifts and really have just eased into being more normal. It is worth noting that my cannabis intake has also dropped massively. By grams a day!

Actually great. Withdrawals are all gone after a month. I'm a lot busier and life is resuming I guess.

Slang for Koppe vs skud.
