This is very true, in my opinion if you want something close to the old Swazi and Durban poison genetics, Sensi Seeds probably still have em around u know.
Perhaps deep in Swaziland somewhere are some Madalas cultivating something oldschool.
Not sure jow accurate this is, but Greenshouse seeds goes searching for Swazi Gold.
Depending on where you live, cross pollination from neighbors has become a real concern for breeding the last 2 years.

With decades of SAPS choppers spraying the rural areas, and in general the war on the plant, our local landraces have been decimated. I dont think the original DP is around anymore. Neither swazi for that matter. There has been European genetics influence on those populations for years. Lots of hybridization.
 

You're gonna be smoking DP for a loooong time, if it's even true DP.

Curious to see the mother though.

Without a doubt, lots of shit out there I feel.

Although with that being said, what I look for in a strain may differ to what you look for.

Thanks, I think the room humidity is just too high and I need to drop that .

Well, it's not terribly high per say.

Check the humidity outside and compare to what it is inside the room and then you'll have an idea as to whether the room is keeping humidity in or whether its more or less the same as the outside ambient humidity.

The difference in humidity between your room and inside the tent is more of the problem I reckon. I doubt the room is that far off from outside, unless there is no ventilation inside the room, but chances are it would then increase quite a bit too after a few days.

Can the pollen from a herm be used in a breeding program? Or will the Herm trait be carried over into the next generation ?

Best not to use that pollen as the offspring have a higher chance of becoming a hermie too.

@Prom how does it work with customs and the value of the items?

Do Planet Express require invoices / proof of payment for each item they receive and then they send the total value of the items through to customs or do you simply state what you paid and they take your word for it?

Also the Planet Mail Express shipping option is the cheapest, is this courier or via the post offices?

I'd also rather use jiffys or plugs. I personally prefer jiffys.

For seeds I prefer to start them in paper towel, then put them into my medium. For cuttings jiffys are cool. I have never removed the outer cloth from the jiffy pellets either, the roots grow through without issues.

Thanks for all the replies duders. My tent is only 100 x 100 so I'm limited with floor space. Are you guys attaching the box fans to the frame of the tent?

Slowly working towards that harvest day  opening the tent is an event every time now and the aromas are quite amazing. The Pink Mango Gelato has a very distinct and sweet smell with the resin producing a sharp vanilla smell on the fingers  I'm super stoked on the progress.

The outdoor baby is also looking classic. Not super huge buds but the shape of the whole plant I really like 

I feel like I had so much more to post about in the past and usually posted whenever I ran into snags, which were plenty and often, but now not so much   

 

 

 

 

Very nice! Coming along nicely, although what is up with the tips of the leaves?

Thanks, have sent an email to that email address as well basically stating the same.

Although it bounced back. WTF.

Wonder if it will make any difference, we can hope.

Ahh ok, makes more sense.

I have nothing against crypto, infact I own a bit myself of various crypto's. Don't think I hold any BTC at the moment though, lol.

I think your situation may be the exception though.

I also have a bright star one, got from Takealot a while back.

One died, then takealot swapped it out. The other is quite noisy but still working.

I got another one from I cannot remember where and that died within 3 months.

Yeah I was considering a box fan next.

These clip fans were a steal at 50% off 4 or more, so I couldn't pass the offer

Clip fans can be convenient, although price and lifespan is what has put me off.

The clip fans I have had, have not lasted long. How old are your clip fans, I assume they also run 24/7 ?

I see Hydroponic have a RAM clip fan, wonder if that may not last longer. Its like R600 though.

I buy most my seeds with Bitcoin. Easy trader to use if you have a ABSA, FNB or Standard Account is www.altcointrader.co.za 

 

But why? What is the appeal to using BTC to buy seeds?

If you're buying KG's of some illicit substance or trying to launder money, I could maybe see the appeal to using cryptos for certain things... But Bitcoin... for cannabis seeds. I do not see why.

Bitcoin isn't anonymous, it can be traced. Also there are additional fees, not sure what they are now and it takes time and if you are buying it with fiat you automatically lose out a bit and would need the price of BTC to go up to "break even" on your purchase.

Do you have a carbon filter as this does effect the extraction, especially when humidity is involved.

If there is limited passive air intake, that too can make a huge difference!

Those smaller  clip on type of fans generally do not last all that long.

I also prefer the larger box fans or oscillating fans, lots of options available with those - just need to become creative with how to mount them.

With crypto there are loads of wallets out there and many different ways to buy crypto and such.

Luno is probably the easiest way if someone really wants to pay with BTC but not sure why you'd want to do that when purchasing seeds... 

That's a dope song  "they're on a never ending quest to get high". Me too. 

Welcome and enjoy your stay!

The rainbow is very cool, aliens look a bit creepy but remind me of a song.

Hopefully those aliens aren't going to try steal our weed! lol

I do not see much bud at all, mostly leaves.

I reckon you still have a while to go, you will ultimately need to get a microscope / loupe to check the trichomes and then base your decision as to when to harvest based on that.

It will start off clear, then turn milk and then eventually turn an amber / orange colour. If you want to flush, you can start flushing when you see a bit of amber coming through. You will then gain a bit of insight and experience and next time can try a different amber ratio and see what you prefer.

I am not doing any breeding.

Currently happy using GHE nutes - simple and effortless. Just works well.

As @SkunkPharm mentioned, we'd need more info.

If the RH in the room is high, then you can add as much extraction as you want, the RH will not drop as the air being sucked in still has the same RH.

In such a case, you'd need to look at a dehumidifier.

Welcome.

Not sure I have a favorite, although what I personally look for in a strain which I want to grow is the following:

• Frosty AF - the more frost the better, if I could run my finger over it and end up with trichomes all over my finger that would make me happy. I want the frost to be like icing on a cupcake.
• Yield - needs to be good yield, 80g from a plant but preferably over 100g per plant. Obviously yield is hard to judge, although I base it on the rest of my plants which are grown in the same environment and with the same training and light etc.
• Potency - needs to hit me like a train. Pointless if it looks nice, but I need to smoke 2 bowls to get me baked.
• Terps - lemon is boring, something nice and exciting and preferably something which does not taste like cardboard.
• Flower duration - around 10 week is acceptable. When it starts getting to 12 weeks+ it becomes a bit tedious.
• Must be stable, no weird mutations which do not work in my favour
• Phenotypes should be limited preferably, soo much pollen chucking at the moment. Would love to get seeds with limited phenos.

I do not care which strains were bred to get the above, if its fire it is fire. Strain names, especially the common shit is overrated as more than half the stuff on the market is not what they claim it to be. It's not bred from the cut which made it popular.
