 have my jar in the fridge now, keep those terps cool hehehe Weed got cured properly for 2 months at 62% with 3 airings a day, solid buds and a light green color.. not to unhappy even with the 4 weeks stage 6 at ripening. What can I say.. good to go  

Can't wait to taste this

@iGrowDagga why would you say that there is zero value in having flower judged?

I've had Flower that looks amazing but doesn't taste like anything and others that don't look so good but the terps are there.

Howdy good people. I'll keep this short and sweet.

I'm just about to harvest a crop that had a late Thrips infestation. I know these buggers are tiny and there are probably thousands of them all over the grow space. 

Id like to ask for suggestions on how to properly clean/debug my grow room once the plants have been harvested? I'd like to try and avoid this situation with my next batch of plant-babies.

I've got a pump spray bottle with a Neem Oil solution. Was thinking of pumping up the concentration and just going ham from floor to ceiling.

Thanks in advance for your time.

I use a 10% bleach water solution to clean my tent. 

Was one of my favorite smokes from a local private club in 2021.

I'm sure it will be available, there are others that stock it as well. 

I briefly met Arjan last year at the expo and Cape Cannabis Cup he seems very easy going. I believe he will be here again this year for the cup.

what did you go with at strain hunters seeds

That was just a free grinder they gave me. 

These were some of my purchases from 2019 and 2020. Gave some away when I got better genetics. 

Think about 5 from 7 beans this was also the start of my growing journey so I wasn't as careful now. But just document your germination process with pics and notes and send that to BnB if you have any issues. Things go wrong even with higher priced genetics.

valid point, have you grown any of the bnb genetic strains, the blackberry moonrocks im most excited about its claimed to go as high as 33 percent thc not that im always smoking for the highest thc but fuck id rather smoke a few 33 percents than spend the day chain smoking, starting to affect my lungs. ever notice how dirty a bong gets even the part after water has filtered gets dirty what doesnt that do to you health in the long run

anyway on topic expecting order to be delivered on monday will leave in water for the night and bury them in jiffy pellets after that

spend the last few days popping bagseed in an attempt to dial in the temp and rh of the dome lol want that 100 percent germ rate

but as @Weskushhas warned these seeds probably arnt all gonna pop so heres to hoping for atleast 1 of ea strain to pop all i need

Yes my first grows was their autos and fems. My favorite was Grand Daddy Purple Fast and white widow auto(had a guava taste to it)

Reading the recent posts got me thinking. I haven't bought anything local recently and was gifted some seeds too. I'm plan buying soon so doing some homework here....especially autos

 

What's yall take on recent purchases? 

We are definitely spoiled for choice. If you looking for something very specific or not as common I would look at @Limited Beans @Golden-Goose even @LOUDcpt has some gems.

Budbuddies, African Smoke and Green Affiliate have a good variety as well. 

*Edit* didn't notice you mention autos. The first 3 don't stock autos as far as I know.

All im saying is, stay away from BnB. You will receive radio silence if there is any issues germinating etc. Rant over. Support those that deserve the support.

Must disagree with this actually had good service from them and they respond quick on FB. Haven't purchased from them in over 2 years but asked them for some seeds last year they didn't have stock of online but they organized a single bean for me free of charge so definitely a plus in my books.

Another thing I liked about BnB is that I could buy single seeds so even with a tight budget I could get 3-5 "different" strains. Most others you had to buy a pack of 3 or 5.

I definitely think there is a place in the market for white label seeds. My first seed purchases was Bulk seed bank from BnB as that's all I could afford.

It'd be better if they just had a picture of the packet instead of hastily posting some random stock images. 

Yeah especially when the packs are over R500 it makes you think twice. 

Overgrow has some odd looking pictures, noticed they duplicate and invert some images. Would make me think twice 

Stoked for this. 

Got my ticket

Nice brother, so you just give 1 dose over 8 week period? Nothing else? 

Always seen this product but didn't know anyone who used it so wasn't convinced. There are so many available, I'm using Terra Aquatica at the moment. 

You add the amount of Bio Grow according to your pot size and then add Bio Bloom before you flip and then just water. My previous grow I transplanted into a 25lt pot for Flower but thinking of just sticking with the 15lt this grow. 

I always wanted to try this product but was a bit pricey but was lucky to win a set last year and then also got some Bio Grow on sale. 

Will maybe add another ammendment for Flower. 

We are definitely spoiled for choice with nutrients, I was using Mega Solutions before and used Biobizz as well. 

What's up 420fam?! It's been a while since I've posted about my grows I just finished my first harvest with Greenhouse Powder Feeding Bio Line and was impressed with the results so trying it out again and to see if I can better things. 

I upgraded my tent to a Secret Jardin Ds120 (inspired by @Dr. Green) and got a 240w on a black Friday special.

I Wanted to do a seed run but things got abit busy last year so had to get some clones. 

We got: Beach Wedding, Purple Sunset, La Alfie and Future #1 all in 15lt Bato pots with Medicoir 70/30 worm castings and Greenhouse Powder Feeding Bio Grow.

They got 1 feed of Enhancer and rest just water.

17 Days between the 2 pictures.

Humidity will always vary with the weather. Right now it's pegged in the low 30's for me lights on or off. As soon as it starts raining again or I am in late flower, that's when I'll slap the humidifier on to max and let it do it's thing. 

Edit: The biggest factor to humidity in a tent is ventilation. You have to suck the air out of the tent and then preferably outside a window. If it's just blasting the air back into the room you will definitely need a dehumidifier regardless to manage the general environment. 

100% agreed on both points. I first tried to use the dehu in the tent but didn't notice much difference because I was was just exhausting into the room. Now I try to control the RH of the room and that brings down the RH in the tent.

Howsit Bro, I was just speaking to my cousin about this today. He was worried about his clones not rooting because of LS. I haven't had any problems with clones though, I keep the lights on 24/7 for mine, I use those cheap 100w globes (R12 each), So even if LS is 4 hours it still doesn't affect the rooting. I don't know what the threshold is before they get affected but maybe keep your lights on 24hrs, they should be fine. I have some in the dome at the moment and they're starting to root after just over a week. 

That's what I'm doing with my veg plants now with stage 6, lights on 24/7 and let LS determine the dark periods will see how things are end of month and see when to flip.

Same here bro, I didn't really feel it with normal LS but stage 6 is another story, now I've got the light and RH to worry about. You say you use a rechargeable fan to keep air moving. What size fan? One of those small ones? Does it help to reduce RH? That'll be a great solution if it can work in my grow space. 

Its small one see below, doesn't bring RH down much but at least the air doesn't stand still in the tent. 

I'm not usually worried about LS in my area with max 2 hours out twice a day but now with stage 6 it might cause some issues but my main concern was the RH spike and stagnant air I got a small rechargeable fan that helps airflow I'm looking to add another just to get air moving abit more but haven't had any PM issues yet.

Thanks guys. Was hoping for a budget option haha. I will be keeping the clones in a humidity dome on a shelf indoors on 18/6 cycle. Will trim them down to control size. I really hope that it will be successful. Last of the genetics. Lekker

You could use a florescent blub or these 20w flood lights from ACDC https://www.acdc.co.za/pages/product-individual?FL-20W-CW

A 20-50w Flood light should do the trick if you plan to keep the plants outside or even one of those Magneto loadshedding lights if keeping it inside. 

I know of 2 people that have purchased from them multiple times and their service is tops and always got freebies(not that its a requirement but definitely appreciated when spending a few thousand) 

I'm hoping to get a pack of Square One genetics from them in the new year. 

I also noticed some crazy discounts on their site that they don't advertise but you just need to be browsing on the day. 

I do believe they are legit, they are one of the few stores to have AC infinity products in SA at reasonable prices.
