Hi guys, hope you are all well.

Agreed with all comments above, my personal experience in SA, some seed banks are willing to give you store credit 4 beans that didn't pop during the germination phase(its better if you document the entire process,take pics,this will serve as your proof), While others had a "No refund policy"(If your beans don't pop sorry 4 U)

Shouldn't all seed banks world wide have a store credit policy for beans that don't pop??

(Obviously using and documenting a universally accepted method of germination as stated above)

I have thought about the guys that may "abuse" the system, a store credit I mean, but thats why I say you should document Your process...

What do you guys think

Store credit for beans that don't pop is great, except for the retailer that has to cater to all levels of growers. I know alot of seed banks started that way but i imagine it got way out of hand.

Personally I was reimbursed by GSR for 2 seeds on my first grow that never germinated. Honestly, it was probably more my own fault than faulty beans. Regardless they kept me happy and I have been a returning customer since.

@Prom Incredible how fastbuds made sure you were a happy customer, amazing service even taking the knock on such a big order.

On a side note, i would want to find the dude from customs that took my shit. I can handle losing a few seeds, but a $600.00 order... shit just got personal. (insert ninja assassination emoticon)

Slipknot live is also quite the experience.

I like sacredseeds, not the biggest selection but everything comes in breeders packaging.

Also I think today is the last day of their 40% off xmas promo.

Yep this is my current grow. The smaller plant is an auto iv been growing outdoors. I put her in today coz the weather is cloudy.

The max height from light to floor is 1.2m, so mainlining also helps keep the plant low and spread out.

A top strain I really enjoyed was LSD by Barneys Farm, I still have 2 seeds left that I am keen to grow again. Has a high resistance to pretty much everything and is easy to grow.

Currently have Banana Daddy and Zour Apples from Ethos growing. I must be honest and admit I chose these just because I really wanted to grow some Ethos strains. They just look so yummy.

Not exactly practicing what I preach lol 

Hi @stinky. I am also in Durbs and growing in a 120 x 50 cupboard. I am always broke as fuck so couldn't get a tent, much less an aircon or dehumidifier. Would really love a dehumidifier though.

I have lost most of a harvest to bud rot before, almost got me off growing. What I do now is pick resilient strains and make sure I keep my canopy nice open and breezy. I mainline my plants and have a small clicks fan to circulate air and a bathroom extractor to vent. 

I dont monitor Temps but humidity is usually around 50-60 with lights on but can shoot up to 80 when the lights go out.

@Bravo Hi Bud 

I would recommend sacred seeds as you get your seeds sealed from the breeder.

They currently running a 40% off Christmas special on all seeds, except singles.

Gym and lifting weights while high, that was a joke and a waste of time. The weed made me faaar too lazy and gave me a bit of a "I do not care" attitude where trying to lift heavy weights was a complete waste a time and felt like a lot more effort than usual.

I am the opposite. I love lifting weights when buzzed, especially if I have an old school rock sound track to accompany it. I find i tend to zone out from lifes interruptions and it helps with the mind/muscle connection.

I believe arnie was a big time stoner when in the gym.

Sorry to hear that, what is your C4 yield? Mine has grown quite rapidly now, as you said it picked up by the 4th week.

Dont have a scale bro, i know I need to get my shit together.

It wasn't a solid yeild as I harvested her early resulting in slightly airy buds. I would have liked to have given her another 2 or so weeks.

She looks really good to me bru, you got her nice and bushy. My plant grew straight up with one main cola.

As mentioned above, try to open up that canopy to let light through and tuck the leaves that covering bud sites.

I can already see the purple bud starting, they are beautiful when trichomes are sparkling and pistils have turned orange. 

Wait for the smell bru, it's hard to describe but a real treat.

Ending this outdoor grow with a less than favorable outcome.

The C4 hermed on me for some reason, still unsure why and the Mexican Airlines got totally owned by WPM and bud rot.

Still got a few weeks to go bru..

Very nice bro  

Hey bro, sounds like you got an awesome green house setup going. I'm keen to hear your thoughts on any of the Mephisto strains that you've previously grown. I been wanting to try them for ages.

Some beautiful shots bud

Ain't this a CFL?

I really want to try Mephisto and NightOwl, just really pricey for those breeders.
