Nice, looking good.

You're going to be using Seagro as nutrients going forward?

By cutting away the first node, do you mean you topped them? 
Keep a close eye on them as the whole plant will be affected if the new growth is unhappy. 
Also... New growth is the greatest source of guaging how happy and healthy the plant is. 

They've taken well to the transplant a few days ago... 3 Indica strains looks perky while the Sativa looks more relaxed but all are fine. With the wind being nasty as it is this time of year in Cape Town, the one positive I noticed from this is their leading main stems are waaaay bulkier than the previous plants I started with a few months ago! So the wind doing its thing "training" them to bulk up and be more resilient of mother nature.

Cut the 1st node away on all of them as the leaves turned brown like nute burn although they've only been fed Kelpak seaweed extract every 2 weeks...

They looked a bit dreary after transplant last night but up and perky this morning! Wind is mofo in Cape Town today tho but hey they gona grow up outside and will have to get used to it...will move them indoors at night.

They look lost in those huge bags 

Gave them water to settle in...

Nah, should be good not filled to the top.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Cool! I'll transplant them a bit later.

Got some soil to fill grow bags but think I bought one bag of soil too little...

Grow bags is 30cm high and has 35cm circumference...at a rough guess is almost 40l

Is 10cm from the top too low? Should I fill up some more?

Also got 15 chilli plugs while there...about 6 different strains....LOVE my chlli!

Will transplant them to permanent homes this weekend

Intentional double post...checking if Tapatalk compresses quality of pics...

Need to get some more soil to fill up the grow bags over the weekend and move them to permanent homes. Little bit of burn on some leaves, not sure if its the Kelpak feed every week but will tone the dosage down lower than recommendation on the bottle.

The going is good! They love the sunlight!

Coming along well! Kelpak doing its thing.... Didn't go this well on my 1st try...that said, temps were much cooler when I started 1st grow a few months ago.

The bigger 2 are 3 days older than the smaller 2

Hahaha!! The plants love it! I transplanted an Inzane in the membrane this morning and the roots were glistening white and healthy! I was really happy. 

But yea man, there are quite a few options you can go for. 

The hydro stores stock the biobizz range mostly and that's a good go to organic range. 

And I have also heard good things about powder feeding from greenhouse. But I'm not sure what you have near you? 

I'm in Cape Town Mitchell's Plain but really don't mind taking a drive 40kms in whatever direction...online also fine but I much rather go to the shop as its nice talking to experienced growers in some nurseries...you always pickup a few neat tips from different people.

Sweet, yea man, go for something with a low N value and high P and high K

Will do sir. Any recommendations? I'll have enough time to shop around while they grow... Wouldn't mind giving your rooibos tea recipes a go

Yep read up as much... Will get something for flower next.

Ag te poenankies! Pa se nuwe kleintjies!

No, her...

Only females make bud and only females will make seeds.

Males only give you pollen, which then needs to get onto the females in order for seeds to be created.

So I had 2x female autos, I then sprayed the one with STS which is a chemical which suppresses (stops) the production of ethylene which leads to the female plant growing pollen sacs (similar to a hermie, but not due to stress - it's due to the chemicals).

Then take that pollen from the plant and use it on the other, untouched female plant, which is what you see above.

I then killed the plant I had sprayed with STS, it becomes useless as I wouldn't use the bud as Sts is very toxic and I already have pollen and don't want the rest of my females to become pollinated.

Once a plant has been pollinated, its focus becomes the seeds and not so much the bud and trichomes. So yield decreases and potency too.

So I may decide to harvest this weekend, when I looked at the trichomes on Friday evening there was a fair bit of amber already...
 
Soo, I will pick a few more seeds this weekend and then if they look good I will harvest her this weekend.

They'll be in the sun during the day and in garage night time...

The grow bags I got from Takealot came today...they didn't specify the volume in liters but put sizes down as 30cm x 30cm x40cm... Height is 30cm so nice and low.

In the pic is a 25l can that fits in there comfortably with space all round... Taking a wild gues that it could be close to a 40l bag with handles... Also got some Kelpak seaweed extract...need to get some more soil to fill these bags come transplant day

Looking forward to the next grow!

Not sure if I should start a new thread as I haven't graduated from my training wheels just yet...

Germinated a new batch of 6... from what I was told by my friend...2 cheese, 2 skunk and 2 bag seed... can't remember which is which as I was too geroek the night to recall...

4 of them popped up last night...still waiting on the other 2...will see when I get home later.

Got some grow bags on Takealot   and will use bottled Aura water this round... Thinking of trying Kelpak organic seaweed extract as well...

Still have a good amount Nitrosol left over so will  feed when the time comes...soil from Hart nursery in Ottery works well so will stick to it

Seedling trays or straight into little pots?

Guess will have to pop some more beans soon

Guess outdoor wind pollination...damn

Is she growing balls?
