These ladies are gonna chow light then will move them closer Schweet, will get myself some epsom salts I tested the fire juice in the hydro during the last few weeks of flowering in the last grow. The dude at the shop said I can use it from when I switch to flowering onwards. Can't tell for sure yet the difference between using it and not using it, will take a few rounds to find out

Definitely been taking the 'less is more' approach since the seedling got crippled. Going to lower it slowly over the next few days to the optimal distance. Will look into the calmag supp, I haven't dabbled much in supps apart from Freedom Farms Fire Juice and Kelpak. Next seeds will be germinated and placed into jiffies. Just wanted to use the last of the rockwool cubes that I had lying around from when I first bought all my stuff

Good day fellow growers! The next grow is underway at long last. After moving places and getting all my necessities setup, I am super stoked to start a grow diary following the progress for you to enjoy. The setup: 80x80x180 Tent 6 inch HIT Fan + 6 inch filter This time around going for two smaller 15 litre DWC cooler boxes instead of one 30 litre cooler box Regent 9500 Duel Air Pump, one airstone in each DWC pumping 120l/h of oxygen to each plant Lumii Cool Tube for HID lighting Starting off with the 250W MH bulb just until I get 3 nodes or so and then will swap out for the 400W MH bulb. My intentions going with two cooler boxes this time around is to experiment with longer flowering time as I do not have to keep one plant in vegetation as long for potentially the same yield and also maybe get some beefier buds in the end. PH sitting at 5.7, PPM is 250, reservoir temp chilling at a cool 20C and humidity currently sitting at an average of 35%. I do occasionally throughout the day give the girls a quick light spray with 6.0 PH water. Seedling strength nutes in the reservoirs, specifically Nutriplex trio. Light is set to 18/6 as I believe in giving the ladies sleep. Now for the fun part! I have already come to a bit of a snag with one of the ladies. Leaves have been slowly turning pale and yellow and her stem has been slowly losing strength. Decided to leave her alone for two days and prop her up with some wire but haven't seen any recovery, so I decided to take the plunge and split open the rockwool to investigate the root development. Now usually I would have just germinated a new seed, the plant that is currently doing fine took only a week to get to this point so I wouldn't lose anytime with the harvest by just popping a new seed, but I decided I want to learn a bit more on the recovery and nature of seedlings and maybe if someone comes to find themselves in a similar situation and they really can't afford to lose the seedling, then this may help. For disclosure, I germinate using the paper towel method until the taproot is about a cm long and then pop them into 5.5 PH rockwool, keep the rockwool on a windowsill until the first razer leaves appear and then into the tent they go. So here is what I found going on inside the rockwool: It appears the root formation got stuck by the seed's shell. What I am going to attempt to do is place what is left of the current stem into the rockwool right up until the plant's cotyledons and hopefully the plant will repurpose it's stem as it's initial roots. The whole seedling is now protruding through the whole rockwool and is touching the bottom of the net pot. I am expecting that the bubbles created in the reservoir will produce an aeroponics affect and feed the roots from below the netpot until the roots have grown sufficiently enough to reach the water of the reservoir. Below to the left is the outcome of the recovery setup for the struggling seedling and to the bottom right is the root forming on the healthy plant below the net pot. Next update I hope to report some recovery of the struggling seedling! Happy growing to the rest of you. Edit: Forgot to mention the strain! Going once again for Sweet Deep Grapefruit from Dinafem and hoping to improve on my last batch.

Can't get over how this bud looks! It's like a bud waterfall

Thanks @Plant Matter, definitely gonna check out your stuff

Been looking into fabric pots myself. @Plant Matter where are your products stocked?

GDP looking nice, curled leaves definitely probably because of the wind blowing directly on it. That one Bruce Banner bud looks almost alien, right at the bottom of the last picture of your last post. Your trichome production is off the charts. I imagine the way in which you structured your plants and defoliated much of the bottom allowed the plants to really focus on the main bud sites. Totally agreed on this. I experienced similar in my last grow and at first I had thought I had defoliated too much, but I ended up with some insane sized buds and decent trichome production. I rate defoliation is absolutely an art of its own, it really makes a difference if done correctly. Still figuring out the sweet spot myself.

Technically you could if you just called yourself a traditional healer

I'm looking for grandaddy purple. I haven't ordered yet, busy germinating two seeds of the previous strain I grew last

Looks like they are back online Edit: Nevermind. Everything is out of stock on their website.

Your post reminded me of the Vice documentary on marijuana in Swaziland from 5 years ago. I think comparisons can be drawn between the two circumstances.

I am hoping we will see with marijuana as we saw with commercial beer. You will have the majority market controlled by the big brands, and then the "craft" variety for the more enthusiastic. SA could use the marijuana industry to save most of the SOE's if they implemented a regulated structure for the production of sale of marijuana products, all locally produced by local people. Oh what a wonderful world

I don't know guys, I'm kind of on @Gnome's side on this one. If The High Co had any semblance of customer relations and ethical business conduct they would refund you the courier charge this time around, explain the situation, and make you fully aware that on the next purchase the free delivery does not apply to you. Everyone loses out but at least they hopefully keep you as a future customer and the story would bring in good rep. Unfortunately the opposite here.

Yeah sure, you'll get taken in and most likely all your shit will be taken but you won't ever see a jail cell or a criminal record. I think the police will be exactly the same regardless of whatever rules are made. At the end of the day, a cop can take you in for anything they want to but that doesn't mean you will do time or be charged. It's a game they play. They know most of the time when a case will actually see a court. They are not dumb. They just know they can waste your time and that's punishment enough for them.

I'd be pretty happy if things just stayed super grey area like it is now

My pants cannot contain my erection

I'm going to have to step up my game on the next one

Well done @Jay420herb and @lokinc My money was on @Timmah

@420sake I would not mind at all working my way to eventually living in the Drakensberg Agreed on the rest of your post

My man with the hookup. Any experience with www.greensmokeroomseeds.com ? They have a strain that I would really like to get.

@Stinger96 I've had my new harvest now for over a month and my tolerance is shot. I'm considering taking a whole jar and saving it for after a sober October kinda thing.

@Stinger96 feel you. Got caught by the parents as a lightie and after two months cold turkey I also still tested positive. Took all the charisma and webMD articles in the world to convince them it still could come up after that amount of time Did anything negative come about the positive result for you at work?

Rate someone should at least let him know why his delivery is late.. Unfortunately goes to voicemail and no whatsapp

Aaaaaah shit. Ok then, gonna check what Sacred Seeds got for me

https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2019-08-30-suspected-dealers-nabbed-on-kzn-freeway-with-300kg-of-dagga/ Look at how these muppets pack their car and somer writing people's cell numbers on the bags. Jissis. Anyways, just thought it was interesting to point out. "Serious organised crime" ag nee julle fok.
