  1. Managed to do a bit more research and I've found Jamie's Garden Shop. His Orgasoilux – Potting Soil looks pretty solid. Here's the list of contents THERMOPHILIC COMPOST COCOPEAT PERLITE EARTHWORM COMPOST / VERMICOMPOST ALFALFA/LUCERNE MEAL BIOCHAR CRUSHED MALTED BARLEY ZEOLITE GROWKASHI BASALT ROCK DUST DIATOMACEOUS EARTH SOFT ROCK PHOSPHATE KELP MEAL SEABIRD GUANO GYPSUM DOLOMITE LIME CALCITIC LIME Seems to include all the good things?
  2. Thanks for the tip, that's interesting, being able to skip the 5L would add alot of efficiency to the grow. Not only would I save money on pots, soil and nutes, but it would also mean only 1 transplant out of the fabric. I think you've also sold me on the rockwool cubes, I'll be switching out the jiffy pellets for the cubes. @Dr. Green Sounds like you've had your fair share of Sannie's strains. I've heard they have had quite a bit of influence on our local genetics. Definitely going for Sannie's Jack on the next order.
  3. Thanks for the replies guys @GreenMunchkin Noted on the pot size, was planning to transplant around end January, that should be enough time? I did suspect that FF soil might be a bit light, thanks for confirming. I was looking at those cheaper amendments and then started going down the road of making my own soil mix. Then that got way too complex and I decided for first grow to go with a pre mixed soil. Any thoughts on living/super soil? Also still need to research teas, have just read good things. @TomHill I've never had any of Sannie's strains, but heard so many good things about them and was part of their forums. Can't wait to try Shackzilla, and next time I'm going for Sannie's Jack, always been a Jack Herer fan. The 5 and 10 are the velcro one's, should be easier to remove and transplant? Would you recommend rockwool cubes over jiffy pellets? I've read that rockwool cubes are ph neutral and hold water better. Thanks for the excellent advice! @Dr. Green Aztec Rain and Jackberry look amazing! I read that eskobar isn't breeding anymore? I hope it's not true because his strains looked great, Chocolate Rain sounded so good! Have you grown any of Sannie's strains before? I've heard they perform very well in SA and indoors This took forever to type on my phone!
  4. Welcome @Clouds @Justin Hemp and @Trailblazer420have given you top notch advice. Maybe check out Leafly to find an indica that has the best medicinal properties
  5. Welcome @GreenMunchkin Chocolate Haze sounds amazing
  6. @Sir Blaze Alot Any chance of an update on your ladies?
  7. Well I've seen good things about Seed Worx and Trophy Seeds, they both local
  8. Hey guys and gals I'm hoping to get some advice on my grow plan. The seeds : Sannie's Fem Mix, which is 2x Madberry 2x Shackzilla 2x Herijuana Then I'm probably only going to pop 3 to keep it manageable for my first time. The pots : Freedom pots Starter - 5L Veg - 10L Flower - 40L I'll also be getting some small jiffy pots to start in before transplanting to the 5L The soil : Freedom Farms Premium Organic Potting Mix. The grow spot : my courtyard, unfortunately I can't grow in the garden just yet, there's only a fence and some beautiful ladies would be stolen very quickly. The courtyard is out of sight and protected by alarm. It gets about 8 to 9 hours direct sunlight and is protected from heavy winds. It has an awning that I can move the plants under in case of heavy storms. Questions : Is going from the 10L to the 40L pot too large of a size difference? Any other recommendations for adding to the soil mix from Freedom Farms?
  9. Sorry to see the hermie, maybe try some autoflowers in a 10 or 15L pot. For auto's you just need one pot, transplanting might shock the plant and slow down growth. Any of our local Sativas would also survive the African sun. Also have a look at Freedom Farms, they've got some great soil for cannabis.
  10. Feminized have 99%, all autoflower should also be female. I say 99% because conditions can also determine sex. Too much stress and your female can hermie. Also a huge Sativa fan here! always wanted to try the Maui Waui. Although I must say I've been enjoying my Sativa dominant hybrids, Pure Power Plant blew my mind.
  11. This is really up to preference, autoflower will flower without a 12/12 light schedule, typically grow faster but as far as I know you can't clone them, which means you'll need to buy new seeds each grow. Normal is photo period which means they need 12/12 to flower, these come in feminized (99% chance of females). Then there is regular seeds which have a 50/50 chance of being male or female. You can take clones from feminized and regular seeds. Hope that helps.
  12. Welcome @Catsilver Hope to see some awesome grows!
  13. Will definitely be doing a grow journal, seeds were ordered last week, as soon as they arrive I'm good to grow
  14. Lol, yeah I did, I wouldn't recommend it to be honest, I grew 4 plants and 3 ended up as males which was most likely caused due to stress. This was 7 years ago so mylar wasn't readily available and the whole grow was done for about R200. I see there's a few online shops which stock mylar, flat white plastic etc. I'd really not recommend growing in a pc case, it was an interesting experiment for me as a first time grower but there were just too many issues. I'd say rather calculate the size you need and build your own grow cabinet. I also posted on opengrow, heres the link if you want to check more pics https://www.opengrow.com/topic/43058-pc-grow-case-cfl/is
  15. Thanks @Trailblazer420 Keen to learn! Thanks @stinky Looks like their forums are behind a paywall now, not sure why. I've ordered a feminized mix from Sannie's Seeds which comes with 2 Shackzilla 2 Herijuana 2 Madberry I'm thinking of going with 3 plants for now, so it's going to be 1 of each
  16. Hello all Glad to be joining a local community. I was part of weed.co.za (same username) in 2011 where I did my first grow in a pc case (relevant pic). With the recent change in our laws I'll be attempting my first outdoor grow this year.
