Dr. Green

Started tucking I wish to flip on 1 March hopefully they show enough growth in the next few days

I don't like auto's but tried some outdoor this season again and it confirmed that they are definitely not for me. 

The yield is just not good enough although I had a decent yield on 1 out of 6 plants. 

Powedery Mildew is a bitch once you have it, it's very difficult to get rid of  completely I've never won the fight myself 100%.

Definitely don't us neem oil it will make your buds taste bad and is also apparently not good for your health. 

Peroxide, milk & bicarb all only manage the PM but does not take it away completely. I did milk during the day or lights on then peroxide at night lights off. 

I have a friend who completely got rid of his ongoing PM issue using sulfer this should probably be use before flowering not during. 

Hydroliq is now sold by hydroponic.co.za as mentioned above its expensive but worth a try and we would all love to see what it does here I'm sure. 

I haven't tried the stuff from Jamies garden shop. 

All the best

I've been dabbling with dab for a few moths. Do not have a dab rig but have a beast of a press to test for 420 Extractions.. I enjoy rolling my own sigs so I smear some dab on my rolling paper and roll a sigarette anywhere I want and that kicks me in the ass everytime.

I'm totally doing that tommorow night

Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely go through to them. Im actually originally from S/West but stay in the Northern suburbs now.

I might even take an entire tree's bud to make dab from.

Also they sell rigs and all the equipment needed to dab at the Rosin Factory the plus side is you get to test them before you buy

7g of Zweet Inzanity 
I get so high off dabs I passed out the last 2 nights from hitting a few to much yet during the day I feel so energised

How much bud did you use to make that? I have yet to try dabbing but dont want to buy a rig just to try it once.

On the zweet inzanity I got 18% yield. All together I got 15% yield

I'm with you I never did dabs because firstly I didn't like solvents being used and secondly due to me growing for myself I never had access to dabs. 

If you in cape town go visit the Rosin Factory they will gladly let you test a few rosin dabs

Dutch Passion autos that has Mazar in it

7g of Zweet Inzanity 

I get so high off dabs I passed out the last 2 nights from hitting a few to much yet during the day I feel so energised

First net in started using the strips for 6 hours with cmh to give an extra push to growth 

I got 18% and 17% yield from the presses that had good meduim sized buds the Popcorn brought the yield down. The jolly rancher had crystal like ooze coming out of the press and was by far the best. I ended up spending over 2k as I got a rig and some bangers and what not but I'm very happy

14% yield, not bad. Very nice.

 

Where is The Rosin Factory? Is there a charge to press?

It's in Somerset West. Check out The Rosin Factory on Facebook. I paid 120 a press he prefers to press 25g at a time but can do bigger or smaller depending or your needs

That's more than 10% of your product pressed.. that is a good yield in any book.. Good quality product yields better. I found that uncured semmi moist bud yields the best.. 

Happy dabbing...

If pressing at 85, for how long do they press it for?

Look I don't know much about the technique but I believe he presses for 11min. He did say that he is the only one who presses in this manner as far as he knows but it works for him and I'm super happy with the quality and taste you can clearly taste which strain was which

So I visited these guys yesterday took about 50g of meduim sized buds and about 50 of popcorn. All together I got just over 14g of top shelf rosin the guys at the Rosin Factory were very nice and super impressed with the end quality of the product. Pressed mostly Jolly Rancher and Zsweet Inzanity the Jolly rancher came out super nice. We pressed all of it at 85 degrees. 

I am no longer a Rosin virgin and would definitely recommend visiting the Rosin Factory 

Just more than 2 weeks later they look like this. I'll install the first net and watering system this week

Shot man ill have a look always good to save a few bucks. 

I use 4 x 20 liter pots in a 1.2m growtent they the perfect size for me

So I started with 5 Sannies Jack fems chose the best 4 to go into their final pots all of them topped twice. The one that is going outside was more lanky than the others. 

The reason I went with acti vera is due to the charts hydroponic.co.za provides for biobizz with freedom farm classic 

I started using Epsom salt back in the day when we only had fishmix grow and bloom. I use 20 liter pots. 

I only did 1 run with all of the above and it worked out well my best run yet so I'll just continue don't what I'm doing for now. I do dose much lower than the feeding charts tho

You don't use Epsom Salt with biobizz? I used to always ge magnesium deficiency with biobizz when not using Epsom salt. 

I use Grow, Acti Vera, Bio Heaven, Bloom, Top Max, Kelpak, Biodyne and Epsom salt in Freedom Farm classic. 

Ex staff from hydroponic.co.za also opened a shop in Edgemead Northern suburbs Greenhydro. 

Grinder situation sorted. These Storz & Bickel grinders really is the shit but they do need to get cleaned often. 

The SLX is meant to be nonstick and has a removable screen which is awesome. The SLX will stay at home while I use the others to travel.

Have not fully considered other options so more than willing to consider other brands, provided they have a good backing.

 

I think a look at atreumlighting.com is well worth it. I have 4 ARA-20 strips and they great I can only imagine what 6 ara-40's on a 600w driver will do. 

Also have a look at the review from MIGROW https://youtu.be/q20WS9qtL00

3m x 1.5m he still had loads of space in the area and there is 2 x dehumidifiers in there too. 

His biggest compliment is penatration he hardly got any Popcorn. He also doesn't veg long clonse straight into flower. He got the biggest buds off his big buddha cheese yet and have been growing that strain for 3 years

I have a friend who replace 3x 600w hps with 2x HLG 550's and got 960g off his first harvest. 

He is buying another 3 HLG 550's this week all of them R spec. He is happy as a pig in shit

I wouldn't want to use sulfer on flowering plants, read that it can leave a residue and taste on the bud.

 

You could try do a bud wash I guess, maybe he can give us more feedback once he has harvested and tried it?

He used it in veg and it didn't come back in flower, definitely leaves a residue
