    i guess this comes down to what information you got at the start. 

     

    you mention second hand equipment but i'm weary of second hand led and their drivers that ''kak'' due the surge when the lights turn back on. still not sure if this is true but its what i was warned against so havn't switched to led yet. i'm looking for lumii 720w units if anyone knows anything. but i don't mind to wait till black friday for this hps doesn't bother me at all..

    the startup cost of an indoor grow is enough to make most turn away from growing and continue buying some grams worth of bud at a time. or at least this is what i'm seeing with acquaintances. it is a lack of understanding of the dark cycle that load shedding scares people of too. but we are in south africa with 9 months of summer(did we have a winter last year in the western cape), id still say for now that growing outdoor might be best, and i'm not and auto flower guy but you can grow at least 3 cycles of them successfully outdoors..every year..its just more expensive with the purchase price of some seeds, again cash is usually an determining/deterring  factor.

    I have had no issue with my led drivers so far but I always buy products with Meanwell HLG drivers

    If you'd like to get into something coming soon, check out the @THCSA Cape Town Cannabis Cup. Thread here. Application form and ticket links should be there as well. 

    With regards to our own 420SA Cup, I'm always down. Obviously the crowd was more present in the past as that was shortly after the 2018 Constitutional Court judgement which convinced most guys to start growing at the time, including me. 

    Vendors have also been short in supply. I can only imagine this is due to the high over-saturation of hydroponic goods in the market currently as well as the over-supply of second-hand equipment and electronics from guys thinking they could cut it one time perfectly in the first grow. Howzit loadshedding. So spare cash to advertise on a forum instead of just on places like FB or Instagram is a factor for them. 

    Lastly, it wasn't all too long ago that 420SA had an Instagram account but Lord Zuck decided to wipe it off the planet for some reason and another account wasn't made. This probably also lead to less organic traffic heading our way. 

    It's a hard sell to get new guys into growing with this loadshedding kak. It's already hard to learn how to grow by yourself. 

    Already have my tickets to go. I unfortunately feel that the guys that won last year have an unfair advantage due to the fact that the grow with solar. So I won’t enter anything there until I have such a system.

  3. I am sure people are still lurking a round.Eskom has just fucked up every bodies grows and it is really not worth growing any more for a lot of us. I am waiting to move into a new place so my grow has been discontinued since November. And totemic is making a new batch of seeds so buy April or so we might have a seed sponsor again

    Thanks for getting beach to me Ill_Evan.

    No, I meant getting life insurance at a reasonable cost and not being penalised for using Cannabis. I was honest in my medical assessment and because of my love for the herb was quoted a premium double that of my wife, who doesn’t use it.

    Not surprised really that de Beers have a hand in what is a multi billion dollar industry in the states. Hope they spread some of that licence love around.

    Hi, life insurance for men are about double that of women. They have a higher risk profile. But they classify it as smoking. And smokers present an insurance company with higher risks thus the higher premium.
