Nice, well done. Very neat area with easy access.Is this a 1.3m x 1.3 m grow? I didnt see you mention the grow area only the garage space. Damn that light is 10k ?

Thought we could have a place to drop info about new genetics,especially those that hit our shores first so to speak. I've noticed that some of the LA strains are very strong visually and have strong effects but sometimes they only grow in clusters on the plant.Anyone know what type of cross causes this?

So, its their own brand and breeders.Im very keen to see your results. Pls let us know when you receive your order as Im keen to give their genetics a go - been burnt with empty promises of delivery by another supplier recently...

The very first search on google returns its by Barneys Farm.Im guessing you didnt ask them if the seeds come in original breeder packages? There are around 900 reviews on growdiaries.com on that strain.Also search leafly.com , thats the biggest db of strains and parents. But what is suspect is the price of those seeds, example b n b has it for way more, https://www.biltongandbudz.co.za/product/purple-punch-fem-autoflower-2/.I would suggest mailing them and asking what i mentioned before. Maybe someone else can comment on CapeApSeeds?

Dude, that is a bad fake.Why go through all the trouble of producing a box and then writing with a marker on it?

Oh wow,did you receive your Cannabist order?

Amazingly healthy roots you got yourself there! Im still trying to find stable genetics for my garden, did randoms in 2018,but in 2019 I have some Ethos Sweet Insanity ,F skittles and Wedding Cake going atm, so keen to see how they stack compared, and which I can keep going and which needs to go.

For me, because im not a soil expert and I dont have the time and space to do soil tea etc, i thought I rather FULL ASS synthetic nutes then HALF ASS organic nutes lol I made peace with the fact that my synthetic plants need a flush once every 2 weeks aswell to flush out extra nutes.You can see nute salts easily on top of the coco. As for your last paragraph, I cant answer that.They was a guy on here that had immense knowledge of soil microbes,cant remember his name. If someone told you to stay away from doing this - its the safest answer.Its not correct and there are many factors influencing this but its a safe answer.

I have always used some sort of chemical salt fertilizer on my outside plants and on my inside coco and hydro setups.I have tried organic but the inherent issue when faced with organics is that you dont know when the ferts will break down and be available and also the different elements that make up N P K values wash out at different rates, so how do you effectively top-up and control this ? I have to say that I have grown "organically only" speaking, and the flavoru and smell was much better than with chemical only grows.This makes sense because I added a variety of organics that eventually when broken down contribute to the terp profile of the plant in some way.Im no expert so that may be way off I stick to chemical nutes because of simplicity sakes,you measure your water ,throw in nutes, stick in a EC/TDS meter, adjust ph, then you are done.Different plants have different nutrient requirements and I find you can really push a plants limit and sometimes you have to because inside grows are costly and you may be chasing an effective g/watt. At the end of the day, you either feed the plant nutrients directly (Synthetic) or you feed the microbes in the living soil that break down and then makes nutrients available to your plant(Organic). The downside of combining the two methods is that your chemicals could alter/kill microbes in the living soil.I have done experiments many times when switching out an organic plant for nutes and the plant gets stunted for about 2 weeks before resuming growth.I guess its up to the type of synthetic fert you use and its manufacturing process that determines how it affects soil microbes.

Wow looking good, what does that room smell like? @1000Hills Nursery

Woah, what did I miss here>?I was helping him out.

Ah I see.I personally only use exhaust fans and never active intake.But I use one meant for a bathroom so its very powerful lol

Cool, 3 plants is probably good then.The light intensity from floros just dont give buds enough light to develop size and density.You can grow with any light by the buds will be light and fluffy.We all started with some form of cfl/floros and then moved on when we saw the benefits of other lights.This is a good starting setup to gain knowledge, then you can expand your equipment when you have experience etc.

Those intakes and exhaust look about level with one another, its hard to tell, but I always extract out the top and my intake is at the bottom opposite corner to maximise the airflow over the plant

If you plant photos outside now, they will start flowering immediately, so its not a good idea from seed. If that is what you have on hand then it will suffice for Veg only. I took apart my t5 floros and replaced them with equivalent LED tubes.More efficient and puts out more light than floro.I only used a 18 w to veg mine in a 1.2x1.2 scrog, so 750w is probably overkill and I wouldnt use floros for flowering.How many plants you planning?

Wow , this is simply amazing.The most i ever did was allow a hermie to fert itself in the hopes of female seeds lol - will see if it works this year! Amazing breeding projects!

If you have the discipline to remove and reapply the tarp at the exact same time then go for it.Im not sure how that will affect the actual buds.You absolutely need to control light if the plant is a photoperiod type otherwise she will revert back to veg.

Yeah im kinda glad it died to be honest, I saw there is a member on here with a killer R5k deal for a 240w qb .

Awesome thanks, I have a 150w HPS over my Ethos Forbidden Skittles in scrog.Want to try this for extra lumens.My 400W ballast is not working anymore

Im also interested in this light as a supplement, could it be this one? https://www.acdc.co.za/products/220-240-150w-cool-white-led-alum-flood-light-ip65?variant=20859630485581

Thanks,but you HAVE to buy their germination kits to participate. https://cultiv8kitz.co.za/product/germination-starter-kit-feminized/ Also, they dont enforce that everyone will need to grow the same genetics so how does that affect the judging criteria like harvest,structure ,looks etc. Auto seeds in the germination kits are by cbseeds.co.za, seems,never heard of this seed bank,maybe its white label?

I took apart a kitchen extractor, the hole perfectly fits on top of my tent and I have 3 levels to control the fan.I just removed the bulb portion lol it works really well but now I have to replace the carbon and possible the filter material.Its ghetto but it works so well.

Only thing holding me back is my lack of a vacuum sealer.Im keen to see your results:)

Lol this is what you are aiming for,

Howdy, im going to try this too but you need to follow the full procedure to see results.Im going to try this : https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/tangwenas-malawi-style-cob-cure-fermented-cannabis.443405/
