Have a look at this section of the forum. https://www.420sa.co.za/index.php?/forum/34-organic-growing-growing-in-soil/ Check GLOs soil or mine as one of many ideas on organics. Cannabis needs a specific root environment. Potting soil brands besides Freedom farms just dont cut it. But even freedom farms is spread thin.

And tap water is fine. Straight out the tap or if it will make you feel better leave to stand for 24 hours.

Jip. Practically you can have 3. A grow ending Sept/Oct too...

Any plant from seed or clone will start to flower immediately outdoors if it has been under 18/6 light. You might find if you did the same thing and put your plants out in October that they would start to flower and some, will then reveg as it is early enough in the season. Normal outdoor flowering times at the latitude we are in SA, February is the start of preflowering, and from March its peak flowering and the time you can start counting down days to harvest. Too many people count preflowering as part if the flowering time. Thats wrong. You start counting from day 21 as day 1 only.

Thats the thing. I grow plenty different plants for medicine in my garden. There are thousands and Cannabis is only one of them. Canapax sell only cannabis and cannabis by products. Russel even brought a dik book on screen and went only to page 68. What about the other 200 pages of only local herbs.

That was a rare interview with gargamel, trying to find out from him what his plans for the smurfs are.... Still no real answers imo. Im just not feeling that the courts are going to entertain this.

Bubbleberry also moving into peak flowering.

Update on the Crystal Gelato. Stretch done.

2 weeks down the line and stretch is done. Cleaned up under my two girls. Really happy with how they transitioned and a strong cantelope smell is starting to stick around.

Spam bru. Get a mod to clean up.

I did. Thats why I have more questions than anything. At the same time this is happening and Brigadiers and Prosecutors start making decisions saying this is OK for some, while others are being arrested daily. What is stopping everyone from rebelling now against the leave the ConCourt has given us. Dont get me wrong. The Canapax idea is a great idea minus the whole traditional healer part. Its entirely premature and individuals are making decisions contrary to the ConCourts ruling. How will it all really stand up in court if the Hawks or the courts themselves take notice. What empowered those individuals to override the ConCourt? We have no clue what parliament will eventually conclude. This interim period is a make or break period for us that may very well influence the final law amendments.

It does look like the start of trichomes to me.

Ah who am I kidding. Of course I'm picking a fight. Perhaps I should clean up my approach then so that we can keep it in everyones interest and constructive, albeit super critical. You see, I'm a nobody in the cannabis industry. I also have no aspirations to rise to anywhere. I am however an activist, determined to see the plant being freed for everyone. It has been criminal to incarcerate people for the possession of the plant. The court has given us the leave and partially decriminalised cannabis, which is a massive leap toward freeing the plant. Monetizing the plant is not freeing the plant, but rather transferring its captivity. All I see when I look at a co-op setup like Canapax, is an obscure attempt to recapture the plant by capitalising on it, capsulating it along traditional medicine lines, needing to be prescribed by such a healer? To what end? Making money? It is at best a poor coverup at an attempt to adopt the current black market trade and call it legitimate because of...?... titles, disribution points? Being the main oke? The first co-op? All I see is organised crime happening under the guise of "contracts", "permits", "licenses"... Where is this paperwork? Who vetted it? Approved it? How is it in line with current legislation? How are Canapax franchises already marketing cannabis? Exactly? I have asked Mr de Beer these questions and a few others this morning. I have hundreds more, but the devils advocate in me can wait patiently. Mr de Beer has a history with suspect permits/licenses in the past. Went to court and faced dismissals. The dismissals are now claimed as a victory although clearly weren't when reading through the judgements. It does seem very reasonable then to ask questions. Not as opposition, but for clarities sake. Instead of getting a single answer to very simple questions, mnr de beer decided he would rather posture that he thrives on opposition. Well, such arrogance and posturing means it hurts where I poked, doesn't it? Yes, in this situation specifically it seems that canapax is adopting some of what was driven by the late Dr Ambrossini whose input and work was phenomonal, and while the ConCourts ruling has not necessarily invalidated the legal loopholes that are being exploited here, It does certainly supercede these loopholes in its efficacy in actually freeing the plant. It does feel the late Drs work is being perverted for personal gain, while the decriminalisation has negated the need for this structure. It seems a blatant abuse of the Section 22 permit law. Cannabis heals on its own without needing diagnosis from a sangoma, or someone with a medical PhD. The only way the plant will ever be truly free, is when it costs nobody a cent, and nobody makes any money out of it. This is an unfortunate paradox I realize. The industry will become what it will become. I know I have absolutely no control over that. I am but one voice. I will remain vocal and present in my activism until the plant has been entirely freed for everyone. You see Russel. What would do everyone good is transparency with intention. I smell a rat. So prove me wrong. Sell me your idea. I would really like to know who benefits. The people, or white label organised crime? Its no secret who I am, and my story has never changed. Im here for the plant, not the money.

A load of bull if you ask me. They lost me on the african haze page referring to rooibaard which I have had the pleasure of consuming some 25 years ago. This is an original swazi, but the story they spilling on the site is so NOT. Rooibaard is nowhere near a haze. I have always been a supporter of decriminalisation. Everyone has the right to grow their own. The industry will do well considering that seeds are what is needed. The Cannabis genome needs the space to expand. Its needs to continue the momentum it has built over the last 30 years and continue to evolve. Having a market place for growers to sell is great. Bullshitting the masses into settling for all the terribly grown landraces at worse than street prices, and then go riding on strain names......Meh. The way forward for growers will not be canapax. It will be even smaller craft style co-ops. Like many here, I have been around decades in defiance of these laws, smoked all the originals....DP, Gold, and Rooibaard. None of these strains are around anymore. NONE OF THEM. If you go to Swaziland you will see almost only badly grown dutch hybrids these days.

Well into stretch the big LST canopy is 60cm thick with an overall height of 1.1m. Cleaned up the entire bottom.

Looking good, but seeing how it is Feb...take it as preflowering time and not veg anymore. Outdoor the Sun is powerful and blasts into places an indoor light would never reach. I would leave the leaves from now on otherwise you actually risk reducing your potential your harvest.

This mission of mine goes far beyond the promise of sensimilla outdoor bud which will never happen. That male will only be around for a specific time period, and its the seeds im after...so...

Outdoor pollination isnt breeding. Its random and pollen can travel for hundreds of kms and stay viable as long as it stays dry . Collecting the pollen and dusting prepared clones provides the control a person wants when breeding. Although this male amongst my outdoors will be responsible for most of the pollination, there will be other donors as well.

The chocolope male that is taking this generation to the next.

Flowering time starts now. Those plants will be harvested before the beginning of winter. In 3 months from now SA is literally going to be overflowing with skyf.

Welcome to the forum bud.

Little update. Crystal Gelato Bubbleberries really bounced back quick on the LST

Sup. Outdoor flowering time has begun. The wind has really been doing a number on my taller plants. The low profile LST seems to have escaped any wind issues and the canopy is perfect.

Enough of this snowflake. I have some real business to attend to while he builds this aircastle for himself.

Anyone who proposes to be conducting business on an international scale nogal, most certainly does not don this demeanor. Your pride is your nemesis.
