Will definitely contribute come pay day! Like Zaskar said, R100/R200 is nothing compared to the knowledge and help that is available on this forum.

DP (1) doesn't seem like she wants to go into full flowering, pistils on all the tops but developing slowly, and still stretching. I'm thinking that this was maybe the bagseed which got mixed with the rest of the seeds.



DP (2) has a week or two left



Purple Bud (although not so purple) is also close to harvest

This is really a great competition, not just for the prizes but for the learning material. Cannot wait for the outdoor!!

I would buy all of the products advertised if I had some money lying around, everything looks great!

Would love to try the soil, but it gets expensive with courier cost.

I feel your pain..

At least it's not the whole plant, moving my plants to s friends house tonight.

Saw what happened to you, that's fucked up!

Moving to my new home hopefully by end of the month, much more secure.

Looks great, looks store bought!!!

I can handle it when my plants are damaged due to nature, but when people try and steal your plants, or parts thereof, it infuriates me.

You can't even smoke the buds yet.

Purple Bud


LSD-25
Before


After

Happy to report, all well in cannaland. Only recieved straight water while I was gone.

DP (1)


DP (2)



Purple Bud seemed to have healed.



One small branch didn't heal and planted the piece before a left, seems like it took



Saw today that another branch also didn't make it. The rest looks good



Should I remove the tape and rope or leave it till harvest?

Have been away from home the last week and a half, flying back tonight.

Phoned her Wednesday, she tells me she is at my house and there are cops there. I just told her go see what they want and phone me if there is trouble.

Turns out an old lady drove through the wall!


Police had no problem with the plants.

Anyway, she moved them to her house (except for the DP (1) due to size), scared that someone might steal them

Can't wait to see them tomorrow, havent even seen a photo since I left!!

So far the Purple Bud still looks good after taping her up. Sprayed kelpak after taping her, will spray some phyta end of this week.




The make shift shading collapsed and decapitated Durban Poison (2) the same day Purple Bud had her accident




Replaced the shading with net


Durban Poison (1) still growing in length

So, came home to this....





Fell from the braai due to wind

Used what I had on hand to tie/tape the branches back together

Just thought I show how the roots and paper cup (what's left) looks after harvest - Amnesia (2)

Amnesia (2) was harvested Sunday morning and hung to dry. Placed the buds in jars this morning. This time around I didn't wait until the stem snaps before curing, waited to just before it snaps, think this will improve my curing.

Didn't take wet weight but before cure they weighing in at 59g

Before harvest






After dry

DP (1) standing at 1.9m and very thirsty, need to water at least 2l each day otherwise leaves droop. Same as DP (2), flowering slooowly





DP (2), not much to say thinking of giving her a hair cut looks to bushy




At long last Purple Bud decided it is flowering time

Waiting "patiently" for Purple Bud to start flowering





DP(1) still stretching



DP2 at around 4weeks flowering



Amnesia Auto (2) looking good at just over 8 weeks

Auto Amnesia (1) harvested yesterday with about 2% amber, one day short of 12 weeks. She got pollinated, havent inspected all the buds, but so far removed 1 seed and there are few pods with underdeveloped seeds.

 

 

 

I removed the branches, did a rough trim, a 3 bucket wash, hung to drip dry in the garage for 24h and placed them in a drying box today.

 

 

Wet weight = 142g.

 

 

Amnesia (2) ...

 

 

Amnesia (1) getting closer to harvest, week or two

 

Amnesia (2)'s buds are starting to put on some weight

 

Durban Poison (2) slowly progressing through flowering

 

Durban Poison (1) started to display pistils

 

Just the Purple Bud that is not ready for flowering

 

 

Looking good there man!
Mine is weed and whisky, how so many different smells/flavours can come from a plant or a barrel blows me away every time 

Agreed! Whiskey also up there. I might be prejudice as I worked at a brandy distillery and now in wine industry.

Thought my friend and I were ready for peat (not really tasted heavy peats before). Bought him (us) a bottle of Laguvulin 16... was a bit much, certainly an acquired taste.

There is a plant/s that gives the same type of odour as generic flowering cannabis. Underneath Frans Conradie Bridge in Brackenfell (WC) and in front of CSIR in Stellenbosch. Love it! Really need to go check which plants these are.

From what I understand it is "normal" for leaves to start yellowing and falling off during flowering. The plant is using its reserves to power the buds.

I think that you wouldn't want yellowing leaves the first few weeks of flowering, as this could indicate a lack in nutrients. On the other hand, you would like to see leaves yellowing and diying the last few weeks, as this indicates that the nutrients in your medium is used up.

Also, I mentioned in my original post that I dropped 3 Durban Poison seeds on my carpet and when I picked them up there were four seeds. So one of these two DP's might not be a DP.

Thanks! Much improvement on my first grow, struggling getting the most out of autos.

Moving to a new home within the next 2 weeks, bigger yard with a wendy (converting to grow room..bank permitting)

Made my first salve a few weeks ago, handed it out to family and co workers. Very positive feedback, my aunty (does not sound right, it is my tannie) hasn't used the prescribed meds by the dermatologist since then(She did consult the dermatologist)! Seems as though my first batch only helps for skin problems, need to do some more researching on arthritis as this is a big problem in my family. They are still hesitant on ingesting.
"Funny" how a few months ago we were shunned for being dagga koppe and now everybody wants some or other cannabis product.

Saw a meme yesterday stating: "The Hippies were right!!"

Two of my favourite fragrances are flowering bud and a good brandy.

You now know too much.

@CG420za It is only my second time, still a newb..

Auto Amnesia XXL (1) now at 9 weeks, seedbank says 10 to 12 weeks



Auto Amnesia XXL (2) now at week 5




It has been almost 4 weeks since Durban Poison (2) has showed first pistils, flowering time indicated as 8 to 9 weeks




Purple Bud has not shown signs of flowering as of yet, tied her down a bit today




Lastly, Durban Poison (1) also hasn't shown signs of flowering
