I'm pretty new to soil and coco meduims, like a few months at best really... I'm not used to this whole... Watering thing... So I think I did go a bit overboard with the watering. 

And the light was just too close... Nodes were starting to get really tight.... And I'm not a fan of tight nodes... Makes it so hard to get in where you need to be

The best thing about working with something new is after a couple mistakes you just get better.

I'm also not a fan of tight nodes in veg. I like things to stretch out after germination till flip. Makes lollipoping and cleaning out future larfie branches less tedious. Thereafter I drop the lights to get the tops to grow tight nodes so I get bigger buds.

What issues have you had with their gear in the past?

Well let's hope they not shit. I'm running them too together with their triple cheese and gorilla zkittles...

Someone I have big respect for as a grower and a breeder ran their blue cheese and swears by the uniformity & quality...

@DankFiend 

Nice grow you got going. All the luck in this last stretch to the finish line.

The blue cheese, who was it breed by?

@CreX 

Always amazing the burst of growth after a good transplant.

I agree it looks like it went through a bit of both over watering and intense light but the new growth looking good. Well done on the quick fix before it escalated.

What's up guys!! 

I haven't made one of these in a while!! 

I finally got my brewer up and running... With a few mods as it was leaky as fuck!!! 

Today's mix is

Oats, mollasses, mycorrhizal fungi, EMProSoil, a bag of soil from a garden, humic acids, and I think that's it... 

Here's a Pic of the vortex in action! 

@CreX 

It's nice you giving the gals a treat...

Is that a specific recipe for a specific growth stage or is it like a general inoculation to increase microbial population?

I'm currently have 2 plants vegging outdoor in coco. I've only been feeding a simple compost tea... compost and worm castings, recycled water from aircon. Bubbling 36 hours. Plants are doing well but I know this tea not gonna sustain the plants past veg. 

How's a recipe for a flowering tea. I'm asking you and not researching cos I'm sure I would have access to the ingredients you use.

Nice Dagga Lab.

That's what the popo's call it...

You a popo?

welcome to 420sa.

I could never afford indoor... only on a special occasion would I spoil myself with a few grams... nowadays I make big bats laced with a thick layer of dry sift and smoke till I'm stoned to the bone... cheers to never supporting the overpriced dealers again... and cheers to hunting the new flavours... just look at the beauty that legalisation has brought... imagine giving a bouquet of these flowers for Valentine's...

Indoor weed... never heard of it... somewhere along the way the word hydro was been thrown around. Didn't know what it was but was told it was super powerful weed grown in small labs using chemicals.

I lived right next to a jondols, that brought the access to many many dealers. Had choices, and for the most part could get decent outdoor i.e. more buds then mad leaves, seeds, stems and blackheads(small immature seeds). 

My friends and I had built a tree house in the bush where we could hang out, smoke and play cards. So making a skyfe in the bush and throwing seeds on the floor led to some plants sprouting. Knew nothing about growing weed or gender of weed. The 1st plant that started growing buds we chopped down as soon as it started flowering, dried it in the sun and smoked it. Couldn't really blame us cos cellphones hadn't hit the market nor did any of us know about the internet. 

Fast forward a couple years and suddenly information was available online. Went to internet cafe's and started learning about indoor and different strains. White Widow was what everyone online were talking about. Up to this stage I hadn't even seen indoor weed. All I knew was I could buy seeds from a place known as Nirvana. So made a plan, saved my allowances and bought a 5 pack of bubblicious & got 10 free seeds... yes 10. Soil from my grandfather's compost patch and I was in the game. Planted a few of the seeds and killed them very quickly. His soil was probably too hot thinking back. Eventually I had to come up with a plan cos it was going to be difficult to hide any plants I tried growing. So I went back into the bush, deep inside and planted all the remaining seeds. It was the summer of 1999. Mother nature nurtured those gals, I got rid of the males mistakely a little late which became a blessing because when I harvested I was rewarded with some seeds for the next grow. The smell of the weed made me feel like I was on top of the world. Smelt like pink bubblegum. The taste, the high was not something I was ready for. I was totally blown away.

Growing changed for me when I moved out my parents house and rented my own little apartment. That's another story for another day...

Hi crowd,

 

I am new to LED growing but I read somewhere that when switching to LED from HID its a good idea to run your temps higher (close to 30) if you want comparable results. The explanation for why you should do this made sense and has to do with the fact the spectrum of light received from HID lights means a higher leaf surface temperature then when using LEDs. Anyone have any practical experience with this? Other LED growers, what temperatures are you running?

Sup dude...

It's because of the radiant heat that HIDs give off that we run the room cooler.

LED you wanna run the room between a low of 26C and a high of 28C... I'm sure the LED guys here will be able to chip in with what highs they have run their rooms at without causing issues like heat stress, airy buds, etc.

I have lived in Durban my whole life, of which I have spent 17 years supplementing my diet with vitamin green.

@Mambawana

I have tried many different "DP's", but I reckon it is all bullshit. It was a quality landrace back in the day, but now every guy from the street corner to train station sells a DP slope.

Dont get me wrong, if a true DP does exist I would love to try it. It is the strain that put SA on the cannabis map. Even better it came from KZN. Gives me a strange sense of pride even though it was before my time and I had nothing to do with it.

Regardless, it is time SA stamps a firm foot print on the cannabis market. And I'm not talking about shipping all our quality product over seas.

 

I hear bru. And I've experienced exactly what you talking about. It was a kak cross weed that they were claiming was a dp. It wasn't. 

I was lucky when I first started smoking. I was a youngster that hung with some old hippies. These guys were getting original DP for years. I knew nothing about weed and strains. But I learnt from them the utter smoothness of a DP in a pipe. Then the high of the DP was also another way to know you smoked a DP. 

@DankFiend 

Cool names.

Here we called it slupes. And we had litres. And was mostly decent DP available. Which was honestly good weed for a teenager. The quality changed once the market got flooded with okay swazi and some other crosses. Dealers started distributing that cos it was cheaper then the dp from our local farmers. It was stoner weed but totally different high. And that's where my journey with DP ended, I know I am one of many here that would love a dp cut.

Sup Guys.

1 thing I know is how to grow weed.

But I know nothing related beyond that. Other guys from other places in SA and their cannabis journey. I know more about the crazy Americans. We are all of different upbringings and do things a little different...

I grew up smoking a DP in a pipe, that instant headrush that got you instantly high. Smoking weed was cheaper then smoking cigarettes. How things have changed!

I have no knowledge how guys from out of durban smoked or even what they smoked. How's about sharing just a little of your cannabis roots?

@Chris Jay 

Plant looks happy bru. Are you going to transplant into a bigger pot or is that self watering system you made sufficient at flowering a plant that size?

Besides your current grow, how has been your past experiences growing gsr's gear?

I wonder if their in-house genetics are actually from Bulk seedbank or they doing their own crosses... would be nice if they documented their breeding, would earn them some rep.

@Ill_Evan 

Really swak thing to happen bru. Glad that you still motivated to pick up the pieces and carryon.

Happy 2020 bru... Cheers to a bigger badder grow...

Right now more than ever... glad we no longer in the days of smoking sparingly and saving some for tomorrow. 

Amnesia CBD #3

Another different Amnesia CBD pheno... Very strong floral aromas, beautiful colours all the way through, deep purple calyxs...

Very mild smoke though. I personally don't like the floral taste. Very average yielder.

But I got to keep this cut cos the wife likes it cos it don't taste like weed and doesn't pack a punch. So this plant is probably close to 1:1 like advertised.

Overall great structure, strong branches, good yielder, hard frosty buds all the way down...

Wedding Cake #3

Another pheno of this tasty strain that came close to making the cut... But you know how it goes... only the best from every pack lives another day

Girl Scout Cookies done....

After a small gap in harvesting, this amazingly terpy and tasty plant is ready for chop down. Beautiful pheno, ticks all the boxes... The breeding plans for her are to attempt to preserve all her traits and not necessarily improve anything so hoping my pineapple skunk ibl male is going to do just that.

I was afraid she was a herm

To find a herm, look at the plant from underneath the plant upwards. Look at the bottom of the buds. You supposed to see only calyxs and pistils. If you see something else ovally. slightly pointy next to the calyx or growing inside the calyx or underneath then that's a herm at the growth stage that you in.

@Dank 

Too true... yeah I'm also blazing like a king. It really is hard at times making that choice of what I want to smoke and I love it. I wish my variety on everyone. And the flavours keep adding up. Found 2 terpine packed phenos this round that are so tasty.

Check these ladies rushing for some of that watermelon... day 10 in the dome. They already in their solo cups and ready to be topped. Awaiting flower room to come down so we can kick off but don't look like my gals want to finish anytime this year...
