for me personally i loved lemon sour diesel, that or OG Durban Poison if you can find it.

Awesome thanks Dude.  Ya OG Durban Poison is like hens teeth these days. I'm keen to try Lemon sour diesel.  Need to stock up cause 1st September is coming!

Thanks for your input guys. Will leave her for another week. Just cant get a closer picture of the trichomes with my camera. Will try get another jewellers loupe this weekend. I just cannot tell without a loupe and my magnifying glass is useless. I normally always harvest when trichomes are around 30% amber. Still so angry with my dog for eating my Jewellers loupe

Hi everyone 

My Hulkberry is almost ready to harvest. My little dog decided I dont need a jewellers loupe and completely destroyed it. 

Can everyone tell me if she is ready to harvest yet from pictures?

My phone camera is just not good enough to see the trichomes too well. I was kinda thinking this weekend or during the course of next week. Hubby said its ready to chop.

Thanks Dude! This is my first Auto I am growing. Heard that you only feed when she tells you. Was just not a 100% sure.

Hey Guys, My Blueberry Auto is growing very well so far. Potted in Freedom Farms premium mix. Have not given any nutes yet only water. I started to notice that the leaves are yellowing a bit near the veins. Do you guys think its a sulfur deficiency? Cant see it too well in the pictures but you can sort of see it. Any suggestions?

What stuff do you need to make for the dogs?

I need to make oils and tinctures for them.  For general well being and epilepsy. 

Hey guys,

I have a hermie I need to pull out now. I wanted to decarboxylate it in the oven tonight but saw that from all the wet weather we have had it has blady white powder mold. Is it safe to still put into the oven and use or must I treat it first before I put it in the oven. Do you think the heat will kill the mold? I really need to make stuff for my dogs! Never have I ever had such issues with mold and mildew . Some of the buds have bud rot too but I will just cut that off.

Well looks like load shedding is back. Took my girl out for the morning while the power was off. After the 2 hrs I could already see how stressed she became.  The sun is so fucking hot today her leaves had already started curling! 

When I realised all this I picked her up and said don't worry I'm taking you back inside. Its safer inside

i had some Chocolope a couple months back, one of the best sativas ive had the pleasure of trying

Thanks! I was actually reading up about that today. Think I have to get myself some of those seeds.

Green Crack, blue dream, Durban Poison sour diesel any of the hazes. Green Crack is my favourite at the moment. My Jack is still curing. Will try it again next week or so. Was not that great after one week of curing. But they do get better with curing.

Great thanks! I have actually had Green Crack before but only a little bit. Awesome with your Jack! You must be so keen to try it! I will have a look into those other strains. Need to get my next batch of seedlings up and growing as I will be putting my girl into flower in about 2 weeks time.

I have tried Jack Herer and Trainwreck for a good upper day smoke.  The Jack Herer seems to be one of the best Sativa's I have smoked in a while. The high was clear and uplifting that made me want to go and work. The Trainwreck was also really good but I prefer the high from the Jack Herer.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a good day time smoke that wont make you miff or tired.  I have also heard Chocolope is good but have not tired that strain yet.

Got some real good Greenhouse from a friend. Super Silver Haze and 9 Pound Hammer. Think the other stuff is Chocolope or something to that effect. 

And here I am in abundance  Didn't even notice people are battling to get decent stuff. 

Best is to grow your own and keep a good rotation so you don't run out. Or have a massive harvest and store it.  My rotation got screwed up cause I left my room open while transplanting and my dog at the leaves off my seedling. Battling a bit but pulling through.

Yes, I've done my fair share of security analysis throughout my career and data forensic investigations. I was just confirming you were referring to the exif data

Cool lol. I'm no pro with stuff like that but a friend of mine showed me and explained it too me. Quite scary actually.

You claiming to get the geo tag information from a picture posted online without the actual information embedded in the image? 

Only if the exif data is still embedded. Some phones and camera store the GPS data. There is software that taps into the metadata and plots the location on a map.

google is the enemy not a friend please do not use google or the google dns and move away from the chromium browser rather use firefox or brave use 1.1.1.1 as dns and duckduckgo as search engine

Much safer to do that! It's crazy how we are being tracked. I can even get your Geo Tag location from posted pictures online.  Also keep your location settings off when taking pictures of your crops.

Facebook is definately not the right place to ask for help. I have myself unfollowed numerous of these groups. People here won't judge just give opinions. Most of the guys here have probably gone through the same issues you are going through. Anyway enjoy your time here. If I may mention it grow lights are a touchy subject.

Welcome, saw a similar post on FBook yesterday. Plant are shocked when transplanted. They need 3-4 days to settle in their new home and some yellowing of the bottom leaves may occur. They normally resume growing after this settling in period. Good luck with the indoor grow. Organic I presume?

Thanks I really appreciate it. I did google it but the results that came up seemed so similar to a deficiency so I was not too sure and was worried as I am not an experienced indoor grower yet.  I don’t ask for help or advise on Facebook anymore due to the toxic people on there that criticize more than what they help.

I will leave her for a few days to settle in. She seemed to be doing fine this morning. Her bottom leaves have stopped going more yellow and she is more perky today.

Welcome. Just remember google is a friend

I never actually ask for help or advise unless I cannot find it on Google. Hence how I have come so far.  Well had help from friends too. 

There are still certain things you cannot find on Google. Maybe I should have just stuck with researching it myself.  Also GoduckGo is much better than Google. Less filtered results.

Hi everyone,

I decided to join this forum for advise with my indoor growing.  I have been growing outdoors since I was around 17 yrs old. I was guided by a old school veteran grower.  Never bought seeds and used to get from friends and just bag seed. Been smoking since 16yrs and have not stopped since.  I do not see it as drugs but a medicine for my anger issues I seem to get every now and again.

My Father was a avid smoker and used to use the oil when he was diagnosed with cancer.  I'm happy and proud to say that because of the oil it gave him almost 3 more years as opposed to the 4 months he was given to live.

I have decided to start growing indoors due to the area I live in.  I literally live on top of a mountain and its very damp here and misty almost daily coupled with extreme humidity. My last outdoor grow is suffering yellow leaf spot during her flowering now. Peroxide is not working work and neem is not an option so far into flower. She is pulling through but 90% of her leaves have it with slowed growth and not the greatest buds for her age. My other outdoor issue that is driving me F#@cking mad is that my lovely neighbour is growing males and is refusing to pull them out cause they make tea out of it and use the blady open pollen sacks!!! After have a lovely feminized Granddaddy Purple and bag seed getting ruined I started my indoor venture.  Bag seed threw a few sacks that I have pulled off as there were only about 4 bunches of them and she is huge. My husband and I are checking her daily to see if there are more pollen sacks. If she gets too bad she will be pulled, but for now she is looking fine.  The Granddaddy has been fertilized too now as I can see the seeds but lucky no pollen sacks.  Oh well you win some you lose some.

First grow was bag seed to test my knowledge and she turned out fine. My next grow is a Hulkberry all doing very well until my transplant yesterday afternoon.  Thank to the advise on here I think it was transplant shock.  

At the moment I have a laughing Buddha Seedling and my 1 month old Hulkberry.

And tap water is fine. Straight out the tap or if it will make you feel better leave to stand for 24 hours.

 

Thanks for that advise! I'm so nervous to use tap water these days as our water is quite hard where I live.  I normally use rain water but ran out then I resort to bought mineral water. My PH tester was eaten by my dog this weekend. He also chomped 1 leaf off my laughing Buddha seedling. This happened while I was transplanting my Hulkberry and I left my grow room door open. Blady stoner dog loves eating my leaves.

Have a look at this section of the forum.

https://www.420sa.co.za/index.php?/forum/34-organic-growing-growing-in-soil/

Check GLOs soil or mine as one of many ideas on organics. Cannabis needs a specific root environment. 

Potting soil brands besides Freedom farms just dont cut it. But even freedom farms is spread thin.

Thanks! Next time I transplant I will be sure to get some other soil as my buddy can be quite unreliable with getting from him.  I prefer the organic route but still need to learn. I have started making my own mix with Banana's and stuff for when she starts to go into flower.

Awesome, sounds like you on top of things.

Keep us posted with pics!

 

 

Thanks Dude! I hope so. Did as much research as possible but there are still things I am not too sure of.  But hey you learn as you go along.

Meaning the plant looks good. Leaf is green. Stems are green. She looks healthy but I am afraid that she will not stay like this....I say this because I can see lots of wood bark in the soil. Wood bark in its current state is crap, it needs to break down and decompose before adding value to the soil. At the moment its just acting as a medium to hold roots together. There are better options out there.

I'm hoping it wont be an issue as the bark looking bits are very very soft and not hard at all.  There is also saw dust bits in there. As I said I have no idea what brand soil it is. The guy I got it from said its fine as the bark bit have been decomposed and are soft. Im hoping he is not bullshitting me. He has also been using the same with success and my previous grow was also fine with no hard bark bits. I do know that the roots do not like hard bits in the soil.

Whats your soil composition Smelly Joe?

I'm not sure what brand soil it is as I got it from my buddy that also grows. It is not that hard bark that doesn't decompose fast enough. I did mix in some lime, bonemeal and some other pellets I always use with a tiny amount of diatomaceous earth. Cannot remember the name off hand of all the stuff.  I mixed the normal ratio's I think. I cant remember exactly as I was arguing with my husband why I am mixing the soil on the floor as opposed to the new pot and I lost concentration. When I get home I can get all the names of the stuff.  It is all the stuff I have been using for a while and used it also with my first grow which was bag seed. It turned out very well with almost no issues other than white flies.
