And here is my attempt at making some Lactobacillus Serum. I am only making a small amount to see if it works. If this is a success then I will make it in bigger batches and use it on my small garden to get it thriving.
The instructions calls for using a one way valve but I've see people using milk jugs with loosened lids and they pull it off successfully. So I'm using a 1L glass jar with a lid that I use for growing those yummy mushrooms. It should work well. The hole is covered with micropore tape and the other is covered with silicone for the self healing injection port ( mushroom purpose) If all is good then by next week Sunday it should be ready....

So the C x C is growing quite fast and I decided to get her height under control.
Chose a good sunny spot and dug a hole, dropped a 25L in there to check depth and then placed the lady in her new deeper spot. This makes tying her down a lot better for me. Next up is the hole for the other pot but I just need to get more soil first.

It seems as if the Red Cherry Berry is not gonna make it. But its OK I guess.
Attached is a pic of my Outdoor attempt with Coir. This is a Chemdawg x Candyland and she was repotted from a 7L to a 25L. For the time being she will stay above the soil line but once she starts stretching then I will sink the pot into the ground to make space for the branches. I was thinking of moving the Laughing Buddha inside seeing that is a 10 - 12 week flowering strain. The Mendicino Skunks will stay outdoors and will be repotted once they are bigger.
Sunlight hours directly on the plant is from 07:00 until 15:30 and she is being fed using Nitrosol and Seagro. I am busy making some Lactobacillus Serum and will be using that alongside the feeds. I did some LST work on her and wanted to put a screen over her but decided against that. I also started trimming out the growth that is hidden away that is just wasting energy.
Pests wise, I have some issues in the garden in terms of :
Red Spidermite
Whitefly
Wooly Aphids
I will be getting me some stuff from the hydro store next week but until then I'm just spraying homemade stuff to keep all under control.
That's it for now. Have a blessed evening

Looking forward to the next round to see what beauties you show up with.

It's an absolute pleasure. At 1st I thought it was a nutrient deficiency but luckily I had some good weed and I kinda started staring. LoL

Hey all
Just thought I'd share my issue I had and slightly still have. This is thrip damage. I let some of the leaves go to get a further idea of what happens. It took me a while to find them but eventually did.
Notice of the leaf that is fucked the small tiny black specs..... That's the droppings and tell tale sign of thrips according to the books.

I've always had the odd male in the batch and always chucked it due to habit. But then one day I thought just let it go and see what happens.....
Well this is what happened. She is about 4 weeks into flower and looking great. Smells is lurking in the house and she smells thick and heavy. Super excited to puff this one later. Oh and BTW this a Blue Kush Berry you are looking at. Seeing that this is so successful I will be dropping another 5 beans tomorrow to get things going...

I have quite a few San Pedro's that is rootbound, some recently potted and other that just shot roots. I want to sell a few of them and was thinking of posting it on the Web but I don't see anyone else selling. Can I sell it online or has a law been passed that I don't know about???
Thanks

Hey all.
I have blessed, again, with some sweet genetics but I'm not gonna use all but only 2. Budget is tight so it leaves me with the following 2 choices.
#1 Go the cheaper route and get coir blocks and some Bio bizz veg & flower. Coir I get from supplier in Northern Suburbs and biobizz I can get from head office when travelling for work but getting it is based on break downs in that area.
#2 Go to the hydro store and get some soil mix and Biobizz nutes. I am planning on getting 50L of Organic Promix and Veg & Flower nutes. I will also be making some teas as I go along.
Freedom Farm or Promix
But until then here are the list of candidates :
Mendisino Skunk
Laughing Buddha
Red Cherry Berry
Shiska Berry
I am waiting on the following:
Blue Gelato
Chemdawg x Candyland

Right before lights go out I start up my emergency light. It's small and not that great but it helps to keep the light cycle going.
But this load shedding is kak. My ballast packed up but it was probably due for an upgrade. Need to find new lights for the cab now.

Hey @Smelly Joe, thanks for the post.
It looks like mites and feeding on your leaves. Check under the leaves. Spray with pyrol. 3 cycles 4 days apart.
Feeling like an ass hole for not paying closer attention to the leafs. After smoking a really nice pipe I started working on her and found the smallest little light brown fuckers in the margins of the leafs. When touched them they moved quick to the underside of the leafs. Started spraying pyrol on the leafs and not the bud or sugar leafs.
But apart from that problem she is still beautiful to look at so I am sharing her glitter of trichomes.

I think we are talking about the same hydro system. I can imagine the effort that comes with cleaning the reservoir but im all for that. The system allows for 4 plants in the container but i will go for 1 plant to start off with. I've only read and saw pics of hydro grows and their growth speed so it will all be new to me.
Will be getting mine end of this month...

Hey Guys
Although I am getting myself ready to get back into Organic growing I have a cab that will be standing empty for a while and I thought that this will be a great opportunity to give Hydro a go. I've always wanted to try and with the hydro store selling a hydro system for R850 i want to give it a go. They also sell Autopots (25L) but the DWC looks like more fun...
So which will be better, Autopots or a DWC setup.......
-
How is those Autopots working out for you. Thinking of getting 1 x 25L pot for indoor
-
I thought that much thanx. Im getting back into Organic growing and I am nit sure where to start. But I feel that if I start with this way I should be OK with growing again. I've been having some crappy luck the past few grows due to not keeping to Organic ways and trying new things which I knew would come back and bite me in the ass. No cure for stupidity
-
I like those 6 pack seedling trays. cut them apart and transplanting is a breeze

Just a quick note on the Lactobacillus Serum. This morning the milk is thick and I can see spots where the milk is getting all ready for the next process. It smells like whey in the start process and not a sour smell as much.
So I'm pretty sure I can get my stuff ready for a big batch.![:classic_biggrin: :classic_biggrin:](https://www.420sa.co.za/uploads/emoticons/biggrin.png)
Have an awesome Tuesday
