  1. I might be wrong but is rose mix not on the acidic side, something which cannabis would not actually like to grow in? Rose soil should be between pH 6.0 - 6.5, so it would work but might struggle in the beginning depending on strain as Nitrogen is more easily absorbed at about pH 5.5 - 5.8, but if he is growing outside then rain water will easily lower the pH slightly enough to be perfect for cannabis. Edit: @Furbrain should still pH test his soil though.
  2. Out of 15 auto seeds I popped for summer outdoor season, only 6 were successful and 4 of them growing decently. Bought some feminised seeds, 4 out of 5 were successful. I have a feeling there is a lot of old stock out there and it's just luck of the draw.

    EXTREME SPORTS

    Holy moly these last two UFC events were great! Usman and Rose keeping their titles, although going to the decisions was subpar. This last UFC was just a knockout/submission fest, very cool very yes! @The Grass BaasI've changed my mind of Sean O'Malley. I support the man now. Pena beating Nunes with an odds rating of +1000 fok me. Lastly that crazy RNC by Oliviera, wow wow. Dustin isn't bad at jitsu and got taken like that nuts
  4. Might be time to break-in that German passport
  5. Just had an "oh yeah" moment. I was wondering then what happens with autopots because they are both plastic and barely have time that the bottom of the pots aren't soaked in nutrient feed/water and you can't keep them raised... then I remembered the air domes
  6. Damn, didn't know so many people sold clones.
  7. I was always interested in cannabis since me and some mates discovered it in like grade 10 and similar to Crex, we had no idea the weed we were smoking was rubbish, but man those first highs were quite something. Throughout varsity I would occasionally splurge on what I thought at the time was decent stuff. Then one day I decided to treat myself and purchase some "top shelf" for the first time. The experience was so underwhelming that I actually stopped smoking weed for a little bit. Then September 2018 came around and the Constitutional judgement was announced that the right to grow cannabis in your private property was allowed. I researched hard for about 3 months, I think this is also when I discovered the forum. In December 2018 I popped my first seeds so that's about 3 years exactly now.
  8. I think even today in a regulated environment like Canada more than 80% of cannabis sales are still within the black market. I remember reading somewhere that these transitions from black market to legal market can take up to 15 years to happen, if all things go well. Would be dope if they could be more open about it or have a spot without fear of prosecution. That's all we want man
  9. Hmmm... kinda like that cabbage guy Would be a cool little movement to get growers to plant a few clones around their respective towns to try generate a narrative.
  10. I think the court case for The Haze Club will force them to open up the grow club model anyways, so just because they don't have the energy apparently to draft more regulations in that regard, they will be forced to if the matter is decided in favour of The Haze Club. Look, we have plenty of legal farms in the country that are currently growing legal cannabis but they can't sell all of it legally to the international market because we lack international standards of quality control and regulation. So guess where all that legal weed ends up...? We're waiting for government to introduce regulations simply so that raw cannabis may be more readily accepted in the international market and and also cannabis products may be sold legally within South Africa. The problem word here is 'sold'. Government doesn't like not being a part of anything that makes legal revenue. This is why I think they are apprehensive about grow clubs because you don't buy weed per gram in a grow club. You pay a subscription/service for someone to grow weed for you and then you are given your weed. Government doesn't like that and are bringing up the sake of the children at every turn that they cannot reasonably argue a point for themselves. So ja, viva black market for a really long time to come.
  11. I have found that the sweet spot for my best cured weed has been 6 months, this also correlates with the majority of research I have picked up. The weed us fully decarbed, the THC has not started deteriorating yet, and the bud is super smooth. Only problem is harvesting enough weed that I can cure for long enough!
  12. Not so much growing supplies as there are cannabis products like vape juices, dry herb vapes, creams, and plenty people convincing you to buy into their next best cannabis business. Plenty of stalls with a large variety of products, you'll definitely discover something you've never seen before, even just out of curiosity. The best part of previous expos for me was the contact sessions with some notable individuals in the community that give their 2c regarding certain aspects of the cannabis industry. Anyone from Schindlers will be good. They didn't let anyone smoke any actual cannabis within the confines of the expo, not even in the huge smoking area that they had setup. This had upset a lot of rastas and even got themselves kicked out at one point. Last suggestion would be to not go at around lunch time, it was kak busy with people walking shoulder to shoulder. Either go in the morning, chow lunch at 1pm, then go back if you want to see anything more, this tactic proved useful.
  13. I would use a RAM 6' for a 1.2x1.2 and an appropriate 6' filter if required.
  14. You got a point. I think it's difficult with soil because it includes a certain degree of moisture, and the bags are not air tight so moisture is bound to escape. So when the bags leave the factory, they might be 30L then, but after transportation and storage with a little moisture loss, they will naturally be less in terms of total litres. I have noticed on some bags, especially if they are from Europe, that they will have a label notifying what the total litres shall be at a certain moisture level. Maybe this is the standard you seek Also, what @CreX said above
  15. This my biggest expense now between grows is the medium I choose to buy. One thing to note in general though, if a bag says 30L it's probably closer to like 25L. So if you're looking to fill 4 x 15L pots you would realistically need 3 x 30L and not 2 bags. So I voted to get same amount in the bag for cheaper, because I also don't want to lug around anything bigger than the 30L bags anyways!
  16. This is the case. I would open them up and do a clean after every harvest. It's usually the gear that connects to the swing arm that oscillates the fan that gets all fecked, either it loses grip and doesn't oscillate as well anymore, or the motor gets so pup that it can't spin the fan and oscillate at the same time. Okes that don't at least clean the blades of their fans are gross. Imagine chucking dust and kak onto your next grow from your last grow. Nee man.
  17. Every 6' clip on oscillating fan I have owned has conked within a year. This is usually the white and blue no-name style fans. RAM has an oscillating fan for R600 but eish, I don't know if it would be that much better. I have since moved over to the box style fan same as @PsyCLown, got mine at a Hi-Fi Corp on special.
  18. Feel you. It's just a guideline anyways
  19. "The results of this survey confirm that most rolling paper products available on the consumer market contain pesticide or heavy metal contaminants" "With pesticides, the story is largely the same. Though less prevalent, the concentration of pesticide contaminants varied widely, and a significant percentage of the products tested were contaminated with pesticides in concentrations that exceeded the action limits." Reminds me of the fact that most soda cans have rat poop on the lids
  20. I am going through with this now with some autos I've popped recently
  21. Oh snap, I actually met the guy that makes this Rhizo PGPR Porridge at a grow store once. Cool dude, I was wondering when his product would pop up here on the forum. Personally haven't used the product myself but I know a few big outdoor growers who mix their own soils that love the stuff.
