@Mr.Kaneh You gotta grow it out to see what you get.

 

Some breeders are more trusted than others. People have their preferences as well.

This discussion has been had a few times as well.

 

I personally try avoid the dutch / EU seeds, especially the cheaper ones. You may get a few diamonds, there may be some strains which they sell which are good but I feel there are better, safer bets out there in terms of spending money on seeds.

Budget also plays a role, not everyone wants to spend a couple thousand on a pack of seeds and I can fully understand that. There are good budget options out there as well. @Totemic has some very well priced seeds, Ripper Seeds as well as Worlds Strongest Strains also have decent stuff I feel.

Not every strain or pack of seeds will be great though. Also just because a pack of seeds is expensive does not mean it will be great either.

Will do just that  .
 

To be fair Back when I got started I knew nothing about growing let alone genetics and breeding. It looked like a solid plan blowing some cash thinking I was investing not knowing that there is a network of professionals around the corner

So you guys are basically telling me i wasted all that effort importing these strains and then clinging on to them for 4years and its just because of the allure of a strain that might not even be worth the name  

i thought at least the strain hunters would sell legit genetics .

@Prom probably need more like a national breeding council, shiny stamps of certification and all the barcoding with the gps tracking 

 I have never smoked nor seen a Durban Poison plant so this is purely peach fuzz territory for me

when does one know that a breeder is fuffing around? Would you have to grow an entire cycle before finding out. That is if you have the expertise. Which in my case is naught

Then i open my e-mail and now there’s purple peanut butter…

My first ever seed purchase was made from dopeseeds in 2016 and only arrived late that year. 
 

Grew and failed some strains but always stayed well clear of touching The Dutch Passion Durban Poison pods. Till now. I have feared failure or disappointment long enough. 

I am finishing off with my last ever flowering in the grow room and prepping for moving so this promises to be a challenging grow, but persistence will suffice. I also popped Pineapple express from a bag and Peach pure CBD to start new mothers for a different project.

Popped and planted.. this packet has been chilling in the fridge since growing was illegal illegal.. so im glad my cold storage was successful  

Pure got baked on the heating element and unfortunately didnt make it. RIP  

The xpress was popped earlier thus the forwardness. Noticed a small tear on one of the other guys and i fear that we might have to deal with invaders. Havent spotted any yet but will sherlock the situation.

This is super cool, didnt know that charlotte has been making the rounds. 
 

busy flushing mine now

that rooting over the rock is dope!!

( my snap was taken under yellow hps & flash so colours had to be touched)

I went with pure coco/perlite and am very happy.

I'd say do pure coco/perlite, once you start adding other things to it you are moving towards an soil + additives grow. I.e. coco/perlite has the ideal water to air retention you don't really want to mess with that. If you want to do soil + coco etc, then you should treat that as a soil grow IMO.

If that is what you are interested in then take a look at the articles (podcasts too) at: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/toc/#growing-cannabis 

I'm no expert, just about to finish my first coco grow. But I'm happy to try help / point you in the right direction if you need any help

Atm Im flowering out using coco/perlite/hydroclay pebbles and some compost. Also a DIY mix.. 

My problems with coco and perlite start when the nutes i feed dont “hit the spot” and deficiencies start popping up. 

I want to move to a slow release type of grow... i tend to neglect every now and then. Will do a comparative grow with the upcoming cycle. Liquid Nutes vs Slow release. Side by side from clone. Trying to stay as cost effective as possible. 

Will def check out the article, thanks mate

Hi Guys/Gals

so I've tried expanding and growing in larger pots and hit my initial limit of how much I would ideally like to spend on my grows. As great as these “designer” soils are, there has to be a sure thing for the cheapie diy grower out there. 

So ive scurried arround and found everything the internet says(which isn’t all too expensive when looking at the cost per 30dm bag of soil vs individual amendments)

now just the ratios of mixing in 

-Bonemeal

-Worm castings

-Compost

-Lime

-Mycorr

-Kelpmeal

-Rockdust

so im going with a coco/perlite/(still deciding) base...

Advise... what to add, what to ditch, any pointers on where to go from here??

this for an indoor grow using 20liter plastic pots

Could come in handy They have always been good to my grows

Just Cannabis is making waves on social media, anybody started using it yet?

Perfect

I hate how Lesotho does its policy on cannabis. Choking out the families who earn their lively hood from ganja and handing out rights to those who dont have economic interests in the country... way to grow an economy.

This looks like a massive headstart as a big corp being able to put their name on products and being sorta first to market come next year is quite the advantage.

This year I have 100 Cape Medallion peppers and 100 ghost peppers in two separate 49sqm plot. This is a for seed grow....goal 1mil CM seeds, and 100k Ghost seeds...

The CM is my baby. Been breeding them a few years and they available online everywhere. If ever you want seeds, here's your hookup to the breeder. 

@Totemic Ive been looking for specific chillies that I dont have yet. Will def need that hookup. I ordered some reapers, 7pot primos, scotch bonnets and ghost peppers and kind of dont know what happened to those seeds since collecting them. Been reluctant to order ever since. Started harvesting in the meantime and built up a pretty big seed collection without the hassle of paying for less seeds. Only issue is finding exotic peppers.

Hahahaha. I will test them now and again but won't do a whole meal with them. Had some bad experiences with people not knowing their chillies or just don't care that you don't like it. Then they laugh when I run around blood-red needing something cool.

Thats just inconsiderate. I understand your feels. Will need to craft a less hot sauce.

Hot Sauce Connoisseur???

My wife loves her spicy stuff and hot sauces. Me..... I don't go near it. It just fucks me up the next day

I regard myself an experienced sauce taster. just sounds fancy for the most part and most of my friends who are chefs kinda forces you to know your thing in the kitchen. 

Besides eating chilli sauce with everything, there is a terrible desire to always want to taste a better sauce. Flavour is fine, but the different kinds of spiciness adds to this sensory phenomenon. 

So I found myself sampling sauces and later crafting my own. Where it led me to start growing my own chillies since the sauce started picking up in demand. 

Nothing fucks you up worse than the burning after a night of prepping for fermentation and you didnt wear gloves. 3days minimum of 👁 scratching and skin tearing pain. 

I wouldnt advise the chilli life to the thin of skin.

Im an Accounting and English teacher. Hotsauce connoiseur and fermenter. Novice cook and retired amateur photographer like taking pictures.. just not for money. Though I have a shoot booked for tomorrow.

Other than that grow things

Best way to learn is to read read read!! 

OH and by starting a grow diary so we can follow it and advise you or to just stare in awe

Great stuff! Will do, tis a big issue atm, more for myself just to keep track of things so that I can stay on the ball.

Welcome Doc

Thanks for the welcome @SneakyDave 

Guess I should introduce myself proper.

I am a young, eager and passionate cultivator. Overjoyed by finally being part of a growers forum. Felt a bit desperate DM’ing blokes on IG just to have a young chat about their plants .

The goal here is to innovate and learn how to grow breathtaking flowers and hopefully find the right formula to get supreme quality cannabinoids.

Obviously there is a business aspect to it, but this is a passion not my job. 

I’m a teacher by profession as well as a make shift photographer and a pretty decent cook. 

Hope to share and learn and strengthen our community of cultivators and make A Grade Cannabis accessible to whomever needs it in whatever form.

**continue growing excellence**

Just check most of the branches. I’ve had a plant that I overstressed and went hermi. Grew male pollen sacks, just chopped off the branches before I flipped her and flowered through no issues.

May the harvest be bountiful

Dr. Kaneh

Just check for pistils or stigmas and pray you dont find any pollen sacks!
