I’m no salts grower but with my limited experience it looks like nutrient lock out due to a pH issue. I would make sure you have sufficient run off then watering your plants .

I'm curious to why so many people top dress with kelp and all these amendments if it takes 4 months to break down?? So you saying none of my top dressing besides the worm castings will benefit the plant at all since it only becomes available after 4 months?

I add all that stuff to my worm bin. Then feed the castings during flower

It should work but I don’t know how effective it really is. The breakdown of kelp and bonemeal takes a long time and would probably only be available to plants after they flowered. If you have cash try using greenhouse bio feeds at the beginning of your flowering cycle and see how it affects your grow. It is a mineral feed but I have gotten lazy. It really works. I see you get 50gram sachet these days. 

If I veg that long I normally transplant the plants from a smaller to a bigger bag, say 10l to 30l bag then there is nice fresh soil for the plant

Hello

I usually veg out plants for two months in a 30l fabric pot before I flip. Is one topdressing enough at the start of flower with compost teas every 2 weeks? Or would you suggest I topdress in week 1 of flower and then another final topdressing at week 4? 

Wist are you top dressing with? Just compost? What compost?

Check out Jamie’s Garden shop on instagram. He has a couple of profiles on insta documenting his grows.

The lights cycle is not such a big issue. It’s more Fluctuation in humidity that causes the most issues. As long as your plants get their 12 hours sleep you should be fine. Keeping the humidity down during the load shedding period is the most important thing.

You don’t need to add anything. You can get a really good grow whit that soil. Freedom Farms Antifragile and Orgasoilux is my go to brands. Just add water.

Roid rage #4 and #7 

gonna run them out side and will then flower them indoors when winter starts.

I ended up having 5 males and 3 females. Flowered out the males and selected on for future use. I had issues with this grow, as I had a heat issue and my favorite plant hermied. 3 weeks into flower. I then seeded the plant that did not hermie with al of the males. First pic here is of the seeded female and the rest are just what they looked like just be fore the showed male flowers. The big one is the one that got seeded.

Well all the factories and mines are closed for Christmas and New Year’s. Will see what the new year holds.

What is the lifetime of the batteries in your setup?  Have you had to replace them yet?

Lithium ion should last 10 years

I have gone solar. But these days you can buy a 5.12Kw battery and inverter for under 40k and you will be able to run every thing. Add solar panels and you are cruising. We produced 25kw yesterday.

So.. the Spring Photo harvest is done, just 3 strains still outside getting sun.. Deluxe Sugarcane, White Widow and my 2 Gelato Phenos, few days out. ^^ So yes, easy possible to run 2 photo harvests a year with a little preparation in July, enough sun down here

Jarred to even out the moisture before I dress.  Ginger Tea and Slurricane

 

Hi man. Is the Deluxe Sugar Cane the one I gave you? Do you still have a mother?

You should try expert seeds. My one friend recons it is as close as it gets to the real cheese. I have just germinated some SC x Gorilla Fumé Will see if there is something worth keeping in there

The BBM is an untested variety or rather new to the menu. The Blue Sherbet is one of there best plants.

My brother I have grown them all and it’s not worth the time and effort. There is allot better stuff to grow. The underground guys are keeping there real cut close.

So the One that does not really want to branch is super sweet and the other one is super pungent she is taking a little longer to flower.

Made cuts flopped to flower.

Well the Dagga Farmacy in Paarl has a pretty good cheese cut probably the best I have seen. The reason the cheese in Cape Town has not been made S1 seeds from is it does not take pollen. I have had the budha cheese, Exodus cheese and the super cheese in a tent with a male and only got 10 seeds from those plants. I suspect it was all the same cut just originating from different sources and called something else.

They were transplanted into 10l pots. About a week ago. The other 2 pics was yesterday.
