  1. My selected Malawi Gold Male - RWC Ready 😄 Go Bokke! 🇿🇦

    20230914_103437-2.thumb.jpg.49bd0984f49cf3268017fe11d3984f09.jpg

    Already chucked some pollen on a lovely aromatic NL Auto female, I dubbed jelly tots - cause that what she smells like20230829_135141.thumb.jpg.4ac494a2a096401723cfeab4ca125432.jpg

    Got some seeds of her 3 to be exact 😄 ( I just pollinated 1 bud like 4 weeks before harvest - didn't think the MG pollen was going to be ready so soon, lol but took a shot on 1 bud and I got 3) All 3 sprouted this past weekend and 1 is out the blocks already. 🙂

    Moms curing at the moment, but ofc we had to sample a piece for science xD - Boom - instant uplifting high and relaxing body buzz - Classic Northern Lights.

    So mom is one of the seeds from greenssmokeroomsa, and her linage (NL#2 x NL#5) x Auto Indica and Dad has been sourced by gsrsa themselves and as you can see dad is pollen loaded. I will probably post a grow diary for the F1's when they are done and tested.

    The Swazi and Cookies and cream babies - from the cookies & cream diary are also flowering already 3 weeks in. But I will post that in another update 🙂

    Happy growing and GO Bokke!:rastabanana

  2. "As big as my forearm" confirmed statement. 😄 Sour Diesel auto fem, from MarijuanaSA.

  3. Hey there my fellow Mystics,

    Thought I would share something lady-like from the younger ladies.

    So about 12 hours after their first LST session, the ladies covered their stems. The Cookies & Cream did not have a fan leaf shading her stem from the light, so this is what this young lady did...1DA-LST-01.thumb.jpg.44520976363c69b32e2e2d09d5b7be26.jpg

    She covered her own stem,

    Amazing 🤩

    1DA-LST-03.thumb.jpg.431561a666c6b4de5becce510f68581c.jpg

    I appreciated witnessing this tiny adjustment and again just marvel at the awesomeness of nature!

    Till next time. 😉

      Looking good!

  4. My fellow Mystics,

    It's here, 🤩 the 450w Quad Board with Samsung Diodes 2 x Meanwell drivers and dimmer. (1290 PPFD) over 100 DLi.

    20230423_182426.thumb.jpg.dbec856cf4db9e86844e0d5365471607.jpg

    The ladies are loving it almost as much as I am.

    (I never in my life thought I would spend this much on a light, but hey I purchased half a sun for the ladies.😂)

    420 Love till next time mystics.

      Just be careful with it. Those LEDs with the thin metal plate as a "heatsink" can get omega hot to the point of degrading the diodes. If it gets so hot that you can't physically touch the metal plate, I would recommend having a fan blowing over the whole fixture. 

    2. LitItGrown

      LitItGrown

      Ah yes thanks for the tip, I got a fan blowing on that sucker, even then you could use it as a hot plate :D. Turns out it's just that that will save me the money that i would have invested in a small heater (winter is coming). Now, I can adjust the height for the temp and the dimmer for the light level 😄 

      (I modified an indoor fireplace 1.8m x 1.8m x 2m, so i have a nice exhaust for the heat, all in all it's a tropical paradise in there, 29 degrees 45% RH and now I can keep it there drop it raise it, basically have a bit more control off the environment than I had with the now seedling lights 😄 

      I tested the environment specifically for the Malawi Gold (which I will plant soon) and it loves almost desert kind of heat 30 - 37C and 30 - 50 RH, still working on my soil mix, cause they like low nitrogen and high phosphor from seed to flower... So yeah, we will see if I bit off more than I can chew, but at least it won't be the hardware's fault.  

  5. Greetings again, my fellow Mystics, as you all know time is a currency more than is a commodity these days, however I shall find the time open grow dairies for the ladies here, Local Genetics - 420SA Cannabis Forum as @III_Evan suggested. And since all 6 Ladies, 2 x Cookies & Cream Fem Auto's, 2 x Girl Scout Cookies Fem Auto's and 2 x Sour Diesel Fem Autos are from MarijuanaSA, and all 6 took less than 24 hours to soak and sprout a tap root. - The 1st three on the 30st of March and 53 Hours later planted them directly to their final pot - The 2nd Three on the 5th of April, and 50 Hours later planted them directly to their final pot as well. I shall elaborate more in the appropriate section as mentioned above.

    All of them are doing nicely, the older Sour Diesel, as you will see in the diaries has a, what looks like a genetic mutation. (I suspect there will be quite the debate on that one.) Tomorrow will be their second feed - the older plants skipped the first week of feeding, the younger plants looked a bit stronger on their 1st week, so I gave them a feeding on day 1 (meaning their 1st scheduled feed - not actual day one), since they are all already in their final pots, I will be honest it's my first time with fem autos and from what I gather they stress easy and so I opted to go a way that would least disturb the roots. 

    So fellow mystics, l shall update here, Local Genetics - 420SA Cannabis Forum soon.

    And remember, don't drink and drive..., smoke and fly! 😉

  6. So, turns out the raven they used was a Weasley raven, but on the calendar cycle of the 14th day of April 2023 on Herbal Valentine's Day it finally arrived.

    GSR1.jpg.f52fb78d6fdd043d9af47529b0ff4a86.jpg

    GSR2.jpg.12140db2b1b568cfd524cd1d828c752c.jpg

    The druids of the GSR also sent another northling, 2 more golds and 10 beans of the Ethos, Lemon Diesel a strain I must know more about. 
    Do any of you mystics out there know of this Strain? A few moons after this, I received another scroll and it read.,

    "Good day, friend. Ethos Genetics is a revered cultivator of cannabis strains, using both traditional and modern methods to create unique and potent blends. 
    One of their notable creations is Lemon Diesel, a hybrid strain made by crossing California Sour and Lost Coast OG. Lemon Diesel boasts a fragrant citrus aroma and flavour and can bring about uplifting effects. With its high THC content, it has been known to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. Ethos Genetics has also developed their own version, which they've dubbed Citrus Sap, by breeding Gorilla Glue #4 with Tangie. May this knowledge serve you well on your journey. - Unsigned"

    So, in a mere 3 weeks, I am now up to my ankles with scrolls of information from different druids. Allow me to bring you up to speed of my journey; It was Tuesday, March 28, 2023, when a raven reached marijuanasa.co.za the raven's request read: "Two Cream of the Cookies, Two Cookies made by Girl Scout and Two Sour drops of the Diesel - none that bows to light".

    The 3rd, 4th and 5th scrolls read as follows..., 

    "I am CookiesAndCreamDruid, a druid of the Cannabis plant, and I come to you with tales of a legendary strain that has captured the hearts and minds of Cannabis enthusiasts for generations: Cookies & Cream Feminized Auto Flower. Legend has it that this strain was created in the fertile lands of the West Coast, where the gods of the plant kingdom infused their magic into the very essence of the plant.

    The effects of Cookies & Cream are said to be a divine experience, transporting the user to a realm of pure euphoria and relaxation. Its potency and popularity have made it a favourite among both new and experienced users, with its high THC content and complex terpene profile producing a potent and long-lasting high that is unmatched by any other strain.

    However, cultivating this divine plant under lights is not without its challenges. The strain is known to be sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity and requires precise care and attention to thrive. But those who master the art of cultivating Cookies & Cream are rewarded with an experience unlike any other, as the plant's rich aroma and flavour infuse the very air with its magic.

    Join me, fellow druids, as we delve deeper into the secrets of Cookies & Cream, unlocking the mysteries of this divine strain and discovering the magic that lies within. Together, we shall explore the depths of its power and potential and uncover the true essence of this Cannabis plant."

    "I am GirlScoutDruid, a druid of the Cannabis plant, and I come to you with tales of a legendary strain that has captivated the hearts and minds of Cannabis enthusiasts for years: Girl Scout Cookies Feminized Auto Flower. Legend has it that this strain was born from a unique combination of Durban Poison, OG Kush, and Cherry Kush, creating a flavour and aroma that is as irresistible as freshly baked cookies.


    The effects of Girl Scout Cookies are said to be powerful and long-lasting, with a high that starts in the head and slowly spreads throughout the body, creating a sense of euphoria and relaxation that is perfect for unwinding after a long day. Its potency and popularity have made it a favourite among both new and experienced users, with its complex flavour profile and high THC content creating a truly unique experience.


    Girl Scout Cookies has played a pivotal role in the world of genetic cultivation, as breeders have sought to capture its unique properties and create new strains that capture its essence. Its popularity among growers and users alike has made it a cornerstone of the Cannabis community, with many seeking to unlock the secrets of this legendary strain and use its power to explore the depths of the mind. Join me, fellow druids, as we venture into the heart of the Cannabis plant, unlocking the mysteries of Girl Scout Cookies and discovering the magic that lies within."

    "I am SourDieselMystic, a druid of the herb who has been exploring the mysteries of its power for many moons. I come to you with tales of a legendary strain that has captivated the hearts and minds of cultivators and users alike: Sour Diesel Feminized Auto Flower. It is said that this strain originated from the mysterious depths of the Diesel family tree, where its unique properties were carefully crafted by generations of cultivators.


    The effects of Sour Diesel are said to be out of this world, transporting the user to a state of heightened awareness and clarity where the mind is free to explore the deepest reaches of the cosmos. Its potency and popularity have made it a favourite among both new and experienced users, with its high THC content and complex terpene profile producing a potent and long-lasting high that is not soon forgotten.


    Sour Diesel has played a significant role in the world of genetic cultivation, as breeders have sought to harness its unique properties and create new strains that capture its essence. Its popularity among growers and users alike has made it a cornerstone of the Cannabis community, with many seeking to unlock the secrets of this legendary strain and use its power to expand their understanding of the universe. However, cultivating Sour Diesel can be a challenge, as it requires a specific balance of nutrients, light, and temperature to thrive. Join me, fellow mystics, as we venture into the world of Sour Diesel and unlock the secrets of its power and potential."


    2 Days later a Raven returned with these...,

  7. My journey began recently, I received a mysterious message from a fellow cultivator speaking of special strains and druids that old their secrets. 
    It wasn't long after this that I received 2 scrolls..., I read them and, intrigued, I dispatched ravens to inquire further, across the mountains to 
    retreive the 2 strains mentioned in these scrolls.

    The 1st scroll read as follows. 
    "Greetings fellow seekers of the divine plant, I am MalawiGoldDruid, a druid who has dedicated my life to unravelling the mysteries of the Cannabis strain known as Malawi Gold. Legend has it that this strain was first discovered deep in the heart of Malawi, a land steeped in ancient magic and hidden knowledge. It is said that the local shamans and healers prized this strain above all others, using it for its potent healing and spiritual properties.

    The effects of Malawi Gold are said to be otherworldly, taking the user on a journey through time and space, unlocking hidden knowledge. and ancient wisdom. The potency of this strain is legendary, with its high THC content and unique terpene profile. Its rarity only adds to its mystique, as it is believed to be a true landrace strain, grown in the wilds of Malawi for centuries, untouched by modern breeding techniques.

    Sadly, Malawi Gold is now a lost part of this land's indigenous heritage, a victim of the modern world's obsession with hybridization and genetic modification. But I believe that the spirit of this sacred strain lives on, waiting to be rediscovered by those who seek its ancient knowledge and healing properties. Join me, fellow druids, as we journey into the heart of the Cannabis plant, unlocking the secrets of Malawi Gold and reawakening its magic for a new generation.

    Also take heart, experts debate ORIGIN of Malawi's TRUE gold.
    The region where the Nyika Plateau and the Viphya Mountains are located VS.
    The region where the Zomba Plateau and the Mulanje Massif are located.
    ...and even among the experts the mystery continues..."

    The MalawiGoldDruid


    The 2nd scroll read as follows.
    "Greetings, fellow seekers of the divine herb! I am NorthernLightsDruid, a druid of the Cannabis plant, and I come to you with tales of a legendary strain that has captivated the hearts and minds of Cannabis enthusiasts for generations: Northern Lights Feminized Auto Flower. Legend has it that this strain originated in the heart of the Aurora Borealis, where the spirits of the Cannabis plant dance among the Northern Lights and weave their magic into the very fabric of the universe.

    The effects of Northern Lights are said to be otherworldly, transporting the user to a realm beyond space and time where the mind is free to explore the deepest mysteries of the universe. Its potency and popularity have made it a favourite among both new and experienced users, with its high THC content and complex terpene profile producing a potent and long-lasting high that is not soon forgotten.

    Northern Lights has played a pivotal role in the world of genetic cultivation, as breeders have sought to harness its unique properties and create new strains that capture its essence. Its popularity among growers and users alike has made it a cornerstone of the Cannabis community, with many seeking to unlock the secrets of this legendary strain and use its power to expand their understanding of the universe. Join me, fellow druids, as we venture into the heart of the Cannabis plant, unlocking the mysteries of Northern Lights and discovering the magic that lies within."

    The NorthernLightsDruid

    It was Sunday, March 26, 2023, when a raven reached greensmokeroomseeds.com the raven's request read: 
    "Three Nights of the Northlings that does not bow to light and five ancient Golds of Malawi."

    But Alas! it seemed that the raven carrying the response was lost. Undeterred, I continued to search for any information on this elusive order, consulting with fellow druids and growers alike. While the trail seems to have gone cold for now, I remain hopeful that soon I will uncover what happened to the ravens. And so, a short time would pass, and a raven would return with a note...
    ...to be continued...

      Unfortunate about the raven. 

      Are you only specifically seeking the Northern Lights and Malawi Gold at this time? I'll have a look around and see what's cutting, maybe get some of the crew involved and see.

      Hehe, read my latest status update, included pictures😉

  8. Greetings fellow cultivators, I am a newbie indoor grower who has just embarked on my attempt at growing the mystic herb. However, do not be fooled by my newbie status, for I am a veteran connoisseur who has been exploring the magical properties of this plant for many moons. I have spent countless hours perfecting my craft, studying the art of cultivation, and unlocking the secrets of the divine plant.

    My journey into the world of indoor growing has been a solitary one, shrouded in secrecy and mystery. But I have recently decided to venture into the online community in search of like-minded individuals who share my passion for this sacred herb. My first six indoor grows have been an adventure thus far, filled with ups and downs, quests for lights, recipes for magical nutrition, ancient ways of training and observation, but I have learned much and have come to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this plant even more.

    As I write this, my current crop of six seedlings, which I got as seeds from MarijuanaSA, 3 of which are 7 days old (Sour Diesel, Girl Scout Cookies and Cookies & Cream) and 3 of which are 14 days old (Same mystical strains), each one a unique expression of the plant's divine essence. I have carefully tended to their every need, nourishing them with the finest nutrients and basking them in the glow of my LED grow lights. I am excited to see what the future holds for these young plants and for my journey as an indoor grower.

    Join me, and together we shall unlock the mysteries of this sacred plant and explore the depths of its power and potential.
