I actually made my own mix with soil and coco as I find coco on its own dries out way quicker. So I feed some nutes and have slow release pellets in the mix for when I just water.

Yes, you are correct! Not as easy as it seems because they require constant watering and pruning but really fun.

This is how my solo cup grow is going. Nothing Flowering yet which I'm abit concerned because it's an auto but she's very bushy. I did abit of LST the canapy is fairly equal.

Another little update: The 2 in the smaller pot have been inside the tent under 12/12 for the past 5 days as I was away so not much growth on those 2 but the 1 outside has grown substantially in the past few days! Let's hope they show some pistols soon

Just came across this from Migrow. He has some par readings as well which don't seem too bad.

Looking good man! I've actually just ran out of my Veg nutes (Biotrissol) but have some slow release Bio Ocean pallets in as well.

Just a lil update, they growing nicely with the one outside(15l pot) starting to show some purple (probably the cold) The biggest one(top left) and the 15lt pot are the same age and the top right is about a week or so behind.

My experience with Bloombastic is to use less than what they recommend and see how your plants react. 1st time I used it a 1ml per 1L my plants got burnt heavy. It does push your PH up as well.

I have 3 of these fans and my oldest 1 is over a year old and still working fine running 24 hours a day, only the "grip things" to make it face and stay in a different direction are worn out abit but no complaints.

Yeah man, was a dumb mistake the bottle was almost empty and I thought it was water left but I was wrong.

What's up fam! I was blessed with a 6 pack of Reg Autos from @Bay Seeds I popped 2 of them into some ExploGrow for 10 mins and within 2days they sprouted. I placed 1 outside and took a few days longer but with the cold and crazy weather in the Cape it's expected! The 2 inside started well then I messed up and killed one by watering with insecticide instead of normal water, but popped another one and has sprouted already! I will be keeping the 2 indoors under 12/12 with my other plants in flower and keeping the other one outside. I will update once they abit bigger.

My dogs are the worst! I wasn't done building my makeshift barrier yet then I come outside to find the one inside my 100l pot and 2 autos destroyed, happened twice but luckily now they can't get inside.

I germinated 2 of my seeds on Friday and 1 has already popped up. Will start my own thread soon

I'm going to be running my lights after 10pm as I see for stage 2 loadshedding stops at 10pm.

Wouldnt mind to give these ago @Bay Seeds, my purple glam Kush auto is finishing in about 4 weeks. Then will have space to experiment abit? Also a weird pheno with bud structure.

I'm not entirely sure what pests you usually deal with in KZN I'm in the Cape but I'm thinking maybe coriander or marigold. But check out https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponics/cover-your-crop-seed-packs/ scroll down abit and they give a brief description of what each cover crop benefits.

Hey @BluntKnife Sounds like it's going to be an epic grow. With regards to pests why not look into some cover crops which keep pests at bay or bring in other beneficial insects? In my experience I found it better to prepare and take precautions before the pests arrive. Good luck man looking forward to your grow.

Yes I have read it. This bill is the building blocks for commercial legalisation. But I will keep up the fight and use my voice for all, even the fence sitters

Yeah we will protest! Just like we've been doing before! Every year we March for this while you sit and reep the benifits! https://fieldsofgreenforall.org.za/

Not a warrior of justice. I know how long the plant has been illegal and why they made it illegal. This bill is almost exactly as the Canadian bill, but we not them! We need Fields of Greens for All! This is the start of how they control the market and all the small guys who have been fighting forever and struggling are going to be forgotten about.

Ya be happy about the Government controlling a plant that they didn't give 2 hoots about a few years ago but now they want to tell you how and when about it. Let's arrest and ostracize people for years for using the plant and then just switch it up control it when profitability becomes viable

Why is private use regulated anyway? You can plant as many vines as you want to make wine or brew as much as you want to make beer. Why must my private use be regulated? Nobody tells you how many potatoes you can grow and consume? Step in the right direction but not too happy.

They are one of my favorite seed banks and all my orders had a freebie with it!

Happy that you got it working man! Its my pleasure to help in a small way. Keep us updated with your grow!

I also went looking for something else, I picked up some perlite but luckily I saw the price and put it down. I would think that with them being a garden store the garden products will be at a competitive price.
