What's good, Team just another weekly update. still just clean water all the way, plants grew quite a bit since last post, I took the time to clean them up and spread them open to get that real bushy bush. French Macaron Blueberry Hashplant Frosted Apricots Super Cheese Chernobyl

was gona say, strange for a GG plant to not stink then again they're from seeds so you bound to get different phenos. some more terpy and some less terpy.

@AfrikaansePotkop when it comes to lights there are actually more options to choose from than with tents. although the measurement and advertisement of Watts is not the best indication of "grow light performance" especially when talking about LEDs, you can kinda use it to guide you. whatever tent you get, just remember for every square foot (30.5cm) you want about 30watts of light. if you going with a 1mx1m tent you get roughly 3ftx3ft. X = 30Watts/square foot × (3ftx3ft) = 30W/SQF x 9ft = 270Watts - you'll need atleast this much for your 1mx1m tent. you could go up to 300Watts. the reason why I am saying this: https://ledgardener.com/diy-led-strip-build-designs-samsung-bridgelux/ Rather than buying two shitty lights of around 100w, which would still be insufficient, rather buy something legit that you won't have to upgrade after your first grow and struggle to sell because it's of little to no value, saving you the headache, the school fees and a whole bunch of your time.

Welkom, Potkop! Dis leke hie by ons! wys ons jou ding! (die ak47 plant)

check out this one https://growopz.com/products/qb-130v2-3000k 130w for cheaper also with samsung diodes and it's bar style so they don't heat up at all. I got a bar one myself. you can request the HLG driver as it comes with XLG, you might just have to email them and ask if it fits a 60x60 tent note the 3000k will be yellow for flower specific and the 3333k slightly more blue for veg but you could also flower under that.

the 120w from light it up with the heat sink is the one with the samsung diodes. that's the one you want

oh yeah no then scratch what was said, 1 small 60x60 tent is plenty!

I would also recommend going bigger but if you got the space and cash what would be best is setting up for perpetual cycle. veg space and flower space of equal size. you could go with a bigger flower space, but then you have to veg in your flower space aswell to fill the space. to minimize time you want to fill and empty the space as quick as possible, best way to do that is to have them same size. flower the full one, take that 3 months to veg the other one side to side, once full just flip and carry on flowering while you fill up the other space again.

like the ladies say, bigger is always better, hey? think he mentioned that space is a issue, not sure in what way it's an issue. if he needs more space to fit a tent or if the tents are too small. @Rsa if you need more space you should save up for bigger tent and light, but if you can't fit a big tent in your space then you good with the small one. I was gona go in the deep with stories on my first grow setups and how I got where I am now, but I think it's the same for most of us. we all start somewhere

this sounds all too familiar! also learned the hard way that make-shift projects can quickly become more expensive than conventional or commercial solutions. 9 times out of 10 make-shift solutions are also not as efficient either and can become a headache in time. you making the right choice by going with the proper equipment, you won't regret it! I agree with Evan, FF green bag with biobloom is the way to go!! perhaps add BioGrow and Fishmix to the list of things you'll need, however you will need a lot less of these two, but once there's N deficiency it's good to have those on hand and not have to run around wasting time to get the stuff to save your plants. N deficiency is probably the most common deficiency you'll run into if you giving plain water for most of your grow. BioBloom is not the right nutrients to give for N deficiency.

yeah I remember, hope you doing well brother! I was actually checking if you cloned this plant? I can remember you popped a seed, but then I forgot if it was a autoflower or a photoperiod seed? reason I am asking is cause autos can't be cloned. if that's a photoperiod you might wana have a second try at growing her so always good to make extra clones during veg. looks like you got a nice GG pheno bet she's starting to stink up the place? the picture you sent mentions 13weeks flower, that's on the longer side, some Sativa charactaristics which I always appreciate. buds can take 1 to 2 weeks to ripen at the end of a grow and they generally don't put on more size in that time, giving your buds at least another 5 to 6 weeks of fattening up. I think you in for a nice yield!! you got others ready to flower once this one comes down?

hmmm.... let's see. this would be my opinion, If you wana use the light for veg and bloom you could add additional blue and far red diodes, but then it would be easier running them off their own drivers then you can switch between the two, so during veg you only use blue and during flower you only using the far red. I would get the 4000K strips, in that case, to not be veg or bloom specific. if you wana use the plant just for veg don't worry about anything. I was gona suggest additional blue diodes, but rather configure the light with only 5000k and up so it's natural blue/white. if you wana use the light for just flower you go for the 3000k strips and add far red diodes only, no blue.

Was gona say welcome, but I see you been here since way back Welcome back then hahah you made a nice structure with that auto and she's looking frosty! she still got time to go, I would say at least a month. quite a small plant overall but then again autos are known to be smaller.

Niiice that looks great, I don't think it even needs a fan! bummer that it only pulls 27watts! get these strips!!!! https://www.digikey.co.za/en/products/detail/samsung-semiconductor-inc/SI-B8V101560US/7562243 you'll need this driver, https://www.digikey.co.za/en/products/detail/mean-well-usa-inc/HLG-320H-24B/7704033 if you planning on grouping them all together in the old school quantum board fashion, you'll need a heatsink and possibly a fan and you have to mount the driver away from the strips to keep the everything as cool as possible. alternatively you could get aluminium T-strip and build a bar style light then you don't need a fan or heatsink, and the T-strip is enough space between the strips and driver so you mount the driver right on the back.

yeah that's looking good for 5 weeks man! did you make clones? wait, is this auto? about the yield, that's always hard to say, because weed will take up same/different amount of space or volume and still weigh different. for example, I recently grew 2 different phenotypes of the same strain, buds came out looking very much alike, density and size, plant structure and size was alike, however there was quite a difference in weight. but let's take a guess anyway I would saaaayyyy....... somewhere between 20 and 80g

not sure about all the other active ingredients in that oil, but yeah 50mg of CBD extract is very very little. also, how does the dose work? when is it 50mg, does the whole thing contain only 50mg? meaning just rubbing it on you'll get like 5 to 10mg depending on how much you use? I think the fact that it's got CBD in it or on the lable is more of a marketing thing. everything with "CBD" on the lable goes for a bit of a price bump over the original product without CBD. I feel it's also more for the biodynamic oriented individuals that's always looking for a "more organic more alternative" solution for everything. if you wana use weed for anything, get full spectrum stuff with all the cannabinoids and terpenes and everything. basically - dank buds - you can make concentrates, but that takes away from the entourage effect. the real medicine is the plant as a whole.

cool cool, if you already got the GG seed and it's a normal photoperiod female, skip the rest of the autos and invest your time and resources in the GG seed. keep the auto seeds, some people might want them. you might need them in future. for breeding or what not, you never know. hopefully that photoperiod serves you well man. I know the frustration when high hopes get knocked down, but just know if all else fails, you're on a forum full of growers who share clones and all that fancy shit. just speak up

Niiice yeah please do update us with photos! I wonder if they didn't have any Psilocybe Cubensis, the common Golden Teacher, they're by far the easiest when it comes to home cultivation. I've had my struggles with getting Alacabenzi to fruit. I've had it 100% clean and healthy, it would colonise substrate within 2 weeks, but then didn't matter how much I tried to perfect fruiting conditions, off maybe 5kg of substrate I got like less than 5g of dried mushrooms. I get full flushes off my GT cultures. I make substrate trays of about 0.5kg and I pick about 15 to 20g dried mushroom off one block. recent harvest - All love and respect brother just to clear up the terminology, inoculating is just the act of introducing your culture to your substrate, once you've done that it goes into incubation, this is the period where the substrate turns white, the process is called colonisation or colonising. once the whole thing is white it's reffered to as colonised and then you wana leave it for another week at least for a process called consolidation, because if everythings white around the outside it doesn't mean everythings white on the inside, so that last week is just to make sure the mycelium consumed all the substrate. if you have uncolonised subatrate you will without a doubt be facing contamination comes fruiting time. Goodluck man, hope the Alacabensi does better in your hands

you didn't get this one?

That looks a lot like a male, but not 100% clear. give us a few more photos in a few more days. first seed you got in sealed Nirvana pack, was this one also in a sealed breeders pack. if you got 2 males from 2 different sealed packs I would call this the worst coincidences ever. could be environmental, I am sure you said this is a photoperiod? photoperiods need a whole lot of stress to make them hermie, but have never heard of a plant completely change sex cause of stress. I don't see any female flower parts, yet. I would not get from MSSA again, write back to them, let them send you replacements and then get somethig else from somewhere else. skunkpharm gave a good recommendation

I appreciate the kinds words brother yeah just keeping on keeping on for now I am super glad to see more and more people gaining interest in mycology, not sure how others feel or think about spirituality, but I firmly believe that mushrooms are the flesh of the "gods" and they hold the true elixer of life which can be seen as spiritual, but it's also very physical. Have you watched Fantastic Fungi on netflix? Paul Stammets, godfather of mushroom knowledge, saved his own mother from cancer with mushrooms. and there is dead silence on the matter... we all kinda owe mushrooms a lot of research and I can feel the universal shift for the paradigm every second or third person I talk to wana or have grown some shroomies, can't wait till it's every person I talk to who wants to grow them @Weskush have you recieved your replacement batch brother?

Well done @John Stonedwell !! those mushrooms look nice! did you do the inoculation yourself or did you buy one of those ready to fruit bags? Regarding my grow setup, we hit a huge bump in the road with the electrical team. Now none of the buildings have any electricity!! there's some major headbumping and finger pointing going on at the moment between the comercial facility agents, the building contractors and the governments electrical department and it seems it's going to take a while still. The area of land belongs to one person, the building is a add on to a already exsisting establishment, when the government team came out to change the load capacity of the nearest power box to accommodate the establishment with all the different commercial facilities, they found a whole bunc of illegal wiring going on, so naturally they just cut the wires without regards to who they're cutting off. Turns out the previous building contractor who built the first part of the establishment had a long battle with the government and ended up going the illegal route, now we have to play blown nose kiss ass with the government and clean up after other idiots anyway, taking baby steps, because that's the best our government can do on the side I am busy with new commercial agents looking for a whole new facility, because this is a joke, just using that place as storage now. luckily I am not and have not been paying a cent

Update DS finally pushing pistils only beginning of week 5! Note to self: try to not grow the stretchiest of strains right next to the most compact of strains without taking necessary measurments now I got the most uneven canopy ever and it looks bad, the Blueberry Hashplant is gona finish sooner than the Deluxe Sugarcane, but it's right at the back and the DS in front is creating a wall blocking the BHP in, harvest time gona be a bit of a struggle. they're under a net too fuk

Goodmorning, hope all is well and in good health! These ladies been living on nothing but 500ml clean water every second day, there should be more than enough food in the soil to not have to add nutrients, I am trying to keep them from growing too much as my flower tent still has its ways to go! still have a few spots on the leaves here and there, only thing I did that was out of the ordinary, I added some garden phosphate to the soil before transplanting so that's my main suspect at the moment.
