Dankstreet.co.za they have lots of the new fire genetics even had a Breeder cut of Chimera #2 .

Limitedbeans.com also have 1 or 2 cuts if you want something more "exclusive"

I've tried the some THC carts but find them to make my throat scratchy and doesn't give me the kick I want. Myself and @Dr. Green made our own rosin carts but still didnt do the trick.

I own the old Puffco peak but still mostly use my bong for flower. I do use less flower as I alternate between the 2 but still prefer my bong. But like @Naughty.Psychonaut mentioned solventless rosin is really enjoyable and you get an amazing taste of the plant.

If you not growing enough rosin and hash can get expensive if consume a lot.

Gauteng here, so doesnt really shoot up that much during the night. Run it during the day so I can move them outside during any long-term power outages (a regular, but hasnt during this grow). Ill take a look at a dehumidifier then, any one specific you'd recommend? thanks man for the advice

GMC and Mecca are good brands. I got lucky a few years ago with a 2nd hand one from marketplace with someone moving overseas.

Yeah i understand, adding the box fan will then imrpove the overall airflow. And yeah will be cleaning everything.

Its on during the day, 6:30 am -> 6:30 pm. Temps inside tent are around 16 to 23 C

Yeah those features are a good reason to rather go for the ac infinity, will do some more research and consider my options. The secret jardin seems to have knobs to set automatic humidity and temp goals for it to keep.

Not sure where in the country you are but for my in the Cape humidity goes up at night when it gets cooler so I run my lights on at night to have it abit warmer and keep humidity in check.

Having a dehumidifier is also a big plus if not must have if you serious about growing.

I would consider investing in one before a new inline fan.

Eish ill look at getting that Bio sulphur next time. Guess for now ima just try to pluck all the pm and see how far i can get this grow. And ok ill look at a box fan

well below the canopy it sits at 50-70%, peaks after watering. And above canopy never above like 60%, lows of 40%.
The AC infinity looks great just a tad expensive, see some shops are stocking secret jardin inlines, any opinion on those? Or is it more worth it to go for the AC?

I don't think your fan is so much of an issue that you need a new one. I think it's more of the airflow inside the tent. Make sure to do a proper clean with bleach before you start your new grow.

Is your lights on day or night time? 

Haven't seen much of Secret Jardin inline fans but sure its decent I use their tent and love it.

My reason for getting the AC Infinity with the controller 67 is I can set my temp and humidity triggers for the fan to speed up or down and when not triggered I can keep a constant negative pressure in the tent which I couldn't do with my Ram 6inch which only had a constant extract speed.

You going to struggle to get rid of that PM. AQ-SF is more to keep things at bay and prevent it. I would recommend Bio Sulphur and using it in veg never had PM issues since I've been using it. Also get yourself a box fan it moves around more air.

What's your current humidity with your extractor? I went from my ram 6inch inline fan to AC Infinity S6 inline fan with controller 67 it allows me to control my conditions abit more than before. 

Feels expensive imo. I recently bought some carbon to refill my carbon filter. Paid R200 for 1kg needed about 1.5kg to fill my 6inch. Probably also comes down to pellet size as well.

Is Crex Cannasaurus Rex on Instagram?

The one that just posted puffco and had pictures of legal grows? If so then I don't think it's him.

Just throwing a spanner in the works here but have a look at Secret Jardin tents.

I got myself one last year and love that I can place my vents and outlets where I want to.

Have you looked at the Grove bag Tote Liners? They slightly cheaper than the 1kg Grove bags.

Do you reuse your Grove bags?

No idea about them, but I'm really tempted to try their grow their Berry Mclovin - https://www.cannabisseeds.co.za/store/feminised/renegade-seed-co-berry-mclovin

I was interested in the Mando

https://www.cannabisseeds.co.za/store/feminised/renegade-seed-co-mando

But just abit skeptical cause I can't find any info on the seedbank and the flower pics aren't that convincing. I'll give it some time and wait to see if anything pops up.

Was having a look at them again and saw some good prices on HSC seeds.

Then came across RENEGADE SEED CO which also looked interesting but I can't seem to find any info on them besides another local store selling them and 1 single grow diary. Does anybody know about them? 

Just closing this one up.

One of most disappointing grows I've had, plants weren't digging the loadshedding, I eventually removed 1 plant outside and repotted another in week 4 of flower. All this really showed in the quality and weight of the flowers at the end. 

I didn't even take much pics of this grow as it just wasn't what I wanted.

But we learn and Grow again!

Currently have some 3x Puff Mintz and 2x IN ZAir seeds growing that I'LL start a thread on.

High all

Was a dope cup. Had looots of last minute entries that were worth saying yes too.

Will be making more of an effort next time round to heard the growers more proactively into only 10 entries. There was definitely more faya than last year.

Venue was great and event was thick with irie vibes. Will say this though, it was mostly fruity terps this year. No real skunk or cheese flavours.

Here's the results.

I’m over it. Back on the old faithful, Gas. There wasn’t enough gas.

Yeah was mostly cookies variations.

3 was bad... really really bad

 

I wouldn't actually mind if the organizers would make a pre selection and it ends with 10 weeds to test. Just the 10 best of the send in. 17 was a bit much, i expected 10-12.

Last year there was 20 strains overall way better quality this year. I like the large variety I smoked smaller bongs this year so spent lots of time chatting so didn't feel too high.

Had to fetch my card ^^ No6... average over all from bud looks to aroma, was bitter, holy cow. Burn was nice. Didn't ended even in midfield ^^ 3 and 5 i had a puff and knew right away, i don't like.

My midfield were 8,9,10,11 and 15. 4, 7 and 12 very close by, rest yuck, wouldn't smoke it daily. But No2 just left a mark in flavor.. I prefer flavor over potency. I rinsed my mouth with water after each joint.. No2 made me drink more  Skipped on the free drink or beer.. 

Just a question did you judge the looks on the bud they gave you or the full nugs on display?

3 was my lowest could barely finish that bong.

I think is not cured enough.. should be way better in 2 months.

Yes, looked about that way.. was darkish. We were 2 dudes and each had a judge pack.. there was difference in the buds of each batch, no question. I think No13 had absolutely zero smell from my bag... not even hay  nada, ripped the poor bud to pieces to get something... nope. Some weeds were rather weird. 

Yeah there was some variation in buds. I really enjoyed my no6 but the guy across me didn't at all then tried his and wasn't really the same.

If somebody knows who grew No2, would love to get contact. If that was a clone, would dream about getting a cut ^^ Never had the effect that I took a sip of water after the toke and the water turned into a sprite kind of flavor in my mouth. Best lemon flavor weed i had so far.. 

Your No2 look like this? Just smoked some now again didn't get much lemon on initial pull but definitely that sprite kind Flav when drinking water after.

It just shows that everyone has a different taste when it comes to weed. My favourite was 13. 2, 8 and 9 was good but the terps was not there for me. All those that won had high THC

Yeah even around the table I was sitting nobody had the same favorite which was cool. Last year there was a clear favorite by most people buy this year more variety. 

My favorites was 12, 11, 6. With 13 not bad as well

I would also like to know. I have a favourite and would like to grow it. Do you know who won? I was tripping so had to get out of there.

1st: Red Deliscous by Connoisseur Collective 

2nd: Apple Fritter by Boof

3rd: Cremebrulee by Dr Dankenstein

Unfortunately had to pull out. Things did not go well the last few months. 

All good man understandable. Everything of the best keep pushing

Will be cool to meet some forum peeps.

Who will be attending?

Anything with Mazar in should yield decent.
