  1. Sounds like plain old green algae to me though... I wouldn't worry too much as you don't grow hydro... In hydro, the algae can become a problem and start competing with your roots to get oxygen... But in soil, algae can only grow on the surface of your medium where there is light I wouldn't be too bothered by it... I use straight tap water for the first few days of propogation and cuttings... Iv found that the chlorine keeps the medium pest free, long enough for the seeds to grow, and long enough for the clones to root nicely... I stopped using jiffies in favour of a bubble cloner system that works out better and faster for me
  2. One application, and the results were immediate, I use the efecto spreader/sticker that you can get from builders or where ever, and it works quite well.. As for the milk, it's not a miracle cure... Yes the results speak for themselves, but I'll prob need to do this a few times to completely get rid of it.. And now that iv tried it, it's no sweat to do it again... I'll prob try do it once a month... And switch it up with bicarb to reduce infection, also once a month... Then one week they get a Mg spray.. And one week a humic acids and kelp mix Let it rain down in Africa
  3. Nice! And from what I have read, a bit of milk in your medium isn't bad... And 'some' people have tried it and say it works... Like I said... My one plant prayed so hard this morning... And it was the only plant that got some milk in the res... Now I'm not saying I'm endorsing it... But ima keep an eye on it and maybe run a test or three Keep me posted on how your ladies respond
  4. I would have gone 50/50... It does leave a bit of a residue, but today I Foliar sprayed with some Epsom salts to wash it a bit.. Rehydrate the milk and try squeeze more goodness out of it haha.. More for a wash though... The research iv seen says results are great from a 20% solution... If cost was a factor... But at ten bucks, it's not. The work comes from the proteins and fats and amino acids in the milk... Another note is that the best results came from applying in the morning where there would be plenty sun... The effectiveness of the milk seems to be directly related to how much light it gets. On further inspection of my plants, I found one or 2 leaves that had been sprayed, but were under the canopy, and still had some PM on them... But absolutely nothing on all the top leaves that got the most light. So their theory seems to hold water this time...
  5. Best part... Milk is like R10 a litre... I pretty much sorted my whole garden out... For ten bucks
  6. Yea Boi!! I'm planning on doing the same with an Aurora Kush clone... But she's huge already... Also hoping for a bumper crop
  7. Just letting guys know about my experience with milk to assist with powdery mildew. I have been apprehensive about using milk on my plants... Because geez, milk stinks when it goes funky and who likes that!? But I needed to do something about my PM issues. So I tried the whole milk thing. Bought a litre of PnP full cream milk... Diluted it about 40/60 in water... It would have been 50/50 but I drank alil milk I have a 2l garden sprayer that I bought at builders for 99 bucks... This thing is a life changer haha. And so I commenced my spraying... Everything got a good spray... Under and on top of the leaves and surrounding area.. And I still had about a litre left so I went around the garden and sprayed any areas iv had issues with before... It stank my grow up... Was pretty disgusting... But I let it go... White leaves, dripping with milk... I just left it... I was like... Guys say this works... So let me give it a chance... Today I go in and check what's up.. To find no powdery mildew (I need to keep an eye open for any new spots) and not only was my grow free of PM, they were praying at an angle I haven't seen in a while .. And no smelly milk! I must note.. That I'm running hydro systems... And some of the milk did leak into the res... Only one of them.. And those plants are praying the hardest... I will be monitoring my res for the next few days to see how things turn out... Who knows... Maybe I add a ml or 2 at each res.. Lol but more research needs to happen. So if you have been putting off a milk spray... Here's my testimony to something that worked
  8. Unless they can show a log and a diary on the plants... Put in as much effort as we do... You will never have a solid guarantee that what you are smoking is what you have paid for in the beginning... And fuck it... That's a lot of work... Growing someone else's weed... I for sure as fuck would charge a top premium for that shit... And it will not be worth the end users while

    Cannapax

    Lol I can just see the news "weed growers raise their pitchforks in protest, taking Cannapax CEO hostage"
  10. Yup... I chucked it into my compost pile! And to think I used to throw food waste in the bin
  11. Yo guys, so I messed like... 2 cups of brown sugar all over the kitchen floor... Obviously no longer ideal for coffee... But can I chuck it in my compost? To About 100l of compost
  12. Now we're talking!! Let's watch them grow
  13. Both have shown face in under 5 days from germination... There's the success rate I'm used to!!
  14. This guy... Has some knowledge in his noggin.. No noob saying hello over here
  15. Holla guys! So I am finally off the mark with this run, Ayla Blueberry #1 has sprouted and is out of the jiffy, just waiting for number 2 now
  16. Sadly it's almost a go big or go home kinda situation... You can get away with a small setup for pumps and fans and small things... But when it comes to keeping the big lights on for hours and hours... You gotta pump the money in
  17. Protector of the Chocolope... Keeping it pest free just for me
  18. Fantastic man... I myself went through a similar process of trial and error.. I understand your needs lol Peace man
  19. So iv had a Nova S8 which I bought from Green thumb a few years ago.. Maybe 3.. I have flowered many plants under it and have not really had any bad experience with it... It is a blurple Generally have high trichome fuzz under it, along with dank dense nugs.. But I have not seen anyone else really exhibit them... I have modified mine a bit... But what is other peeps input on this light?
  20. You will need to do this properly from the word go... Trust me from experience.. You do not wanna try stuff and "see if it works".. You will waste weeks of time, many plants, and have endless headaches.. My solution would be to hit them hard with Predatory mites, swarski mites... They chow spider mites, thrips, white flies... Pretty much anything on your ladies... You can get some from livingseeds. Co. Za There is another place iv seen them mentioned... But I can't remember now

  23. I have a feeling that she was pollinated by the DP Blueberry I had outdoor that hermied late in flower due to crazy weather and high stress So it's more of a test run for me to see what comes out of this.. I'm very keen to get more Ayla blueberry in the ground outdoor and nows the time to plant before outdoor season
  24. LOL nice!! That would have rocked too... She was into her Blueberry so it made sense at the time... But after growing it for 2 years... It's defs blueberry on the money
