Wow thanks guys.

This thread soothes my morning constipation. Laughed so hard at all the bitching! Keep it up. 

@greenkush love the lights bro. Can’t wait to see what they do

As a NewBee myself with absolutely no experience with indoor, I was wondering if you are not worried about space. You have some nice strains but do you not think it's gonna get a bit crowded in our tent..? 

I have been told that its going to get crowded.. I will be scrogging the Haze and clones.. the autos will just be left to finish.. at some stage i may have to think of something. however for now i'm just testing the waters.

@Smelly Joe I have never really used the paper towel method.

as this is actually my first ever grow i have no exp in anything. SO i am growing FEMS, CLones and Autos. haha.. one of those plants has to give me at least one good ol TOKE. hahaha

Other that that.. Herewith a little pic update of my babies.. 

So from the left we have:

Green bag :  Girls scout cookies clone that was in flowering. She pulled out nicely and re-entered veg. (this is astonishing for me but oh well there she is in all her GLORY.) Some yellowing i imagine from the cloning phase however the new growth is looking quite awesome.

Left bottom FF Fabric pot : C99 Clone that had a good amount of illness and had some dying leaves which i subsequently AFTER taking this pic removed. i topped this plant and the side branches as pushing nicely now. Plant is also looking quite ok now.

Left Top FF Fabric pot : Royal Gorilla CLone, same story as above.. flowering phase.. little sickly but also pulled out nicely and growing now. this one took the longest to respond from what i can see.

Next up on the bottom right:

RED woolies bag : Super Lemon Haze Fem from seed. This lady is looking awesome. I am astonished at the leaf structure. I was under the impression that sativa dominant plants should have a thin leaf. Anyway.. what do i know right? SHes looking mighty fine in my eyes. leaves healty and flourishing nicely.. I will be cloning her for sure.. 

Right top: Blue and white bag: THis is my Auto AK, something happened with this plant. it just went apeshit and leaves burnt on sides but i think that was maybe because i was feeding non ph water at 7.8. I recently bought a PH pen from GTH for R750.00 and introduced seagro into my water to add a little nitrogen.. this seems to have made a massive difference. ANyway with that said she pulled out.. she is an auto so i'm waiting for it to grow properly so that i can see what autos does. 

and last but not least: 

Blue bag: Auto Bubblegum extra, also starting its thing. seems settled and looking like shes also happy in the tent. 

I have been running on 24 hours on, tried the timer thing, but it does my head in.. like the stupid thing doesn't want to work. so i need to do some testing over the weekend to see if i can figure this out which is seemingly straight forward but weirdly enough not.

So a big update today.

Payday finally came around and I got my 320w QB. Thanks @greenkush much appreciated for everything.

So I have a few clones now that needs to be helped back into veg after which I will clone off them and hopefully be successful. 

With the new light I think the plants will grow nicely. Watering and possibly adding some fish mix just for a little nitrogen, transplanting clones to decent pots whilst my autos can do their thing. 

Now for the lovely images

Not the greatest bud pic and yes it’s dry but tonight is watering time. 

In the tent we now have

1 x Super Lemon Haze fem

1 x Girl Scout cookies fem

1 x Royal Gorilla Fem

1 x Cinderella 99 Fem

1 x AK Auto

1 x Bubblegum extra Auto

Hooefully this addition and the extraction etc I am putting In this weekend will make the plants happy.

Last night I popped my Auto AK and Bubblegum seeds into water. 

This am they sunk to the bottom and they got placed into wet toilet paper in saucers.

May as well get some bud from these seeds I guess.  

Seeing that this is my first grow, herewith my contribution of “Plant of the Month”

That is a sure winner... pmsl. 

So the Humidity went to 40% with the soil being very dry at the top and still some moisture left at the bottom of the bag.

i watered the lady with 500mil of the liquid stuff. I will have to monitor how fast things dry out.

I also placed a fan in the tent to see if it cools things down slightly. No extraction or cold air feed at this stage.

lol 110g dry on auto.. NOT BAD GOING 

I can only hope to get more than 30g off a plant. haha.

Welcome hope you like it here

What all went wrong?

TO be honest.. Nothing.

The Super Lemon haze is pushing its initial 2 real leaves quite dramatically under the 150w CFL. temps are around 30ish degrees and humidity staying over 60% ( not those 2 original round leafs).

The seed popped in 3 days straight from dry pip in my over watered Jiffy, and the Jiffy dried out well too. I am either FCKN lucky or just accidentally did it oksih. 

The soil in the woollies bag seems to have dried well and the wetness is far from the actual plant at this stage and i'm not watering it at the moment.  Just letting things settle in a little.

I haven't yet done anything with those Autos I received from Biltong and Budz, as i have been speaking quite a bit with a Certain grower/breeder and now i am going to make some drastic changes which will end up with me popping those 2 autos in   2 x 5L FF soil containers and just let them do their thing on their own as i wont be focusing on Autos.

After that i will be doing mainly fems and Cloning. I

I'll start with the Lemon haze and see if i can clone it haha. ( maybe just add an auto in my tent from time to time to give me some "Get you by" buds or to ease the pain of expected Fckups)

BIG NEWS

If all goes according to plan i will be changing to a QB. ( 9 days and counting) which then brings about a WHOLE new kettle of fish.

CFL will become a propagation light for all the clones i will be making. 

I will attempt scrogging with the female SLH from Cape ape seeds hopefully which will be my attempt at it. YES i am going to need a TON of assistance as I literally am using terms i know nothing of and only read up here and saw pics. 

The only thing that is going to remain the same is that i will still just grow in FF soil and will be adding Bio-Bloom ONLY from week 3 onward.

Hmmm. 

Ok ok I think I went all wrong with this lady. Let’s see how she goes.

tonight I’m putting my bubblegum and AK in water to start them germinating. 

I will follow everything y’all said.

i might add that the reason I made the jiffies wetter is due to the fact that I popped the dry seed straight into the jiffy. I didn’t do the water/toilet paper thing

I think my grow diary is in the wrong place

@Admin please can you relocate me?

First time I see this. You actually want to pollinate the plants. 

I wonder what would happen if I pollinate my auto. Will it create more autos?

So here I am at the end of 11 pages of reading in JHb traffic. Even read through a road block on Jan smuts this am. It’s 8am now and I’m late for work. Well... as per my staff who gets into shit when they are late, I am late. 

Be that as it may. This is more reading than I have done since leaving school some 20odd years ago.

when I grow up I wanna have girls like you patt. 

Massively impressed and I’m sure the end result was and will be splendid. 

Keep up the excellent nurturing.

G out

@greenkush yup I was there just this morning.

we could very possibly stay in the same complex. 

@Pat999 I decided to transplant and went straight to a woolworths shopping bag.

I’m happy if it takes a while to establish as I’m going to pop some more seeds (the autos I received just yesterday from Biltong & Budz) 

So what happened today after spending some hard earned cash. I got a budget hood and I also managed to get some pullies.

Must say I’m pleasantly surprised with the pully quality.

Im contemplating buying my mates almost new LED 600w grow light as he bought 2 x 450w cobs. 

Still in 2 minds about it. 

So order my own cob light 450w from amazon and pay around R1600.00 or buy the 600w Led system for 2k???

feel free to comment which route you would take

Can also confirm this. I've picked up some really good genetics from Biltong and Budz, some pretty exotic stuff, under the breeder packs and breeder seeds section.

Though @Master_G if you're looking for what to expect from the cheaper Bulk Seed Bank genetics you've picked up, I'm running a grow diary on them at the moment here. 

It arrived today, so I can confirm swift delivery. I’ll also continue about this in my grow diary 

Just a little update. 

Seems ms we have lift-off. The only seed I am remotely interested in is the Female Super Lemon Haze and she has just shown signs of life.

the pic was taken at 5:30am I guess 21 deg at 70% humidity in the tent. 

Decided Ed I will go with freedom farms soil. I’ll get that over the weekend and probably start with the potting part in the week.

what is the negative of going straight into a 10L pot?

So hi guys. 

I kinda started a grow topic before introducing myself.

im a Cape Town original kite surfer / surfer type person who due to financial obligations decided to move to JHB 5 years ago.

i now am fully set in a career with high stress and disgruntled employees. Living the life

always been a fan of cannabis as it just seem to work for anything I can imagine.

struggling to find cannabis in JHb has forced me to grow now that it’s no longer frowned upon

so here I am

Hi all. I’m a Business intelligence manager for a large firm. Dunno what else to say.

I ordered auto AK, auto bubblegum extra, auto durb poison. 

I figured it could go well with the super lemon haze I have already 

im looking forward to see what happens. 

Brand new at this, so I’m expecting to pay school fees.

@Jimmy-z For now I only have 1 x tent to grow in, so I’m doing autos. Just bought 3 x auto seeds for R60 each from biltong and budz. I also have a super lemon haze from germinating atm as well as some bagseed from a greenhouse grow that hit pollen from somewhere. Females were Buddha cheese and Northern lights so it might produce ok bud. 

Space is a bit of a problem normally so I will have to see if I’m ever going to have space for a mother 

id rather just buy clones but eBay is fresh out of stock

Did the prices go up? I think I paid R1100 at the time I split my order with friends , so they paid me 250 per seed. Didnt hurt the wallet so much. Lol.

10 x auto seeds = R1800.00 ex postage

@Jimmy-z thats not bad going lol. I’m sure they are awesome but I don’t want to drop 1500 for learning to grow hahahhaa

@Jimmy-z yeah, it’s funny as we (mate and I order together) had a chat this am as I was looking to buy and had looked at cannabisseeds.co.za but they want you to take a 2nd bond in your house to get some bud. We changed to cape ape seeds after gsr didn’t work out and they delivered. 

I just ordered a test order from the Biltong shop. So I’ll see if that arrives.

guess we just have to find what works for us. 

Wish there was a clone bank lol

Sadly we ordered from GSR and received nothing. So henceforth it will be other banks. 

@Pat999 I just ordered from them. I hope it arrives. Time will tell I guess
