very nice man!

I heard of it a month ago for the first time, heard the same story about clones traveling around cape town. I can see why you would wana grow it. don't know if this is the same story, but there's a big buddha cheese that falls under that cape town cheese cross that just picked up a new name somewhere along the line. maybe the same thing hahah

I have the same problem! I found that working with the 12hrs cycle if the loadshedding happens within the first 6hrs of lights on then I leave the timer where it's at so it can complete the 12hrs lights on cycle. if the loadshedding happens in the last 6 hrs of lights on then I move the timer over so the plant gets only 8-10 hrs of light. my thoughts where that switch on and off, on and off, on and off, causes much more stress to the plant than to rather just give it an extra 2hrs of darkness... so basically when loadshedding happens during last 6hrs of lights on, then my plants go on "10/14" cycle for that day. if loadshedding happens during lights out. no problem. I been thinking of getting those magneto LEDs that plugs into the wall and comes on automatically when the loadshedding kicks in, but I haven't seen enough stress on the ladies to encourage me to get those. plus, you will still have to remember to go move the timer, because if the timer stands for 2hrs and you provide light during that time without moving the timer, that will mean you giving the plants 14hrs of light, which will surely send them into reveg. so I leave the magneto LED option, it will make me lazy

her pot was also bit smaller than the others, but she stretched to be bigger than the others hahah and I pulled her down atleast a week earlier than I could've. personally I rather deal with anxiety than couch lock hahah smoke report comes as soon as the hygrometers inside the jars say 62% though the smells and taste changes a lot over time with a good cure, I have grown this same plant a couple times now so I know the taste quite well. fruity almost to a point where it's a bit bad. heavy dank funk. I know there is a strain called puppy breath or pugs breath and some shit out there, there's none of that in the lineage of this banana I am growing, but can't help to point that out, got a heavy funk like a puppies breath with a deep fruit backtone.

got a swizz shepherd and a miniature schnauzer that will be too greatful for that Be aware if you have dogs in the garden, I can't use bonemeal for outdoor gardening anymore, even in pots. The shepherd will have a bit of the pot and it's contents in every corner of the yard if there's bonemeal in it. I got a baboon skull and had a few different antelope skulls just chilling in the garden on pots and in beds, collected them from mountain walks and bundu bashing, didn't kill them myself, anyway they must be quite old and the dogs still seem to like them. the reason I had more was cause every now and then I come home and Leo, the shepherd, will have either burried one or is chomping on one. aaaaanyway. back to the topic, OUTDOOR PREPERATIONS super lemon OG cut took from my indoor run, got her well established over the winter, going into a 70L plastic pot. recycled FF premium soil with 30% of the 70L being worm castings and I threw in a hand full of DE, this has been standing for about 2 weeks. got a couple clones in the back there, but thinking of popping a seed in here, this is a 90L, recycled FF soil with the top 15-20cm a thick layer of wormcastings. also put a bunch of DE for any unwelcome softies. here I got another 100L pot with maybe 80L of recycled soil, but I don't think I have space for her, where she's standing now get's almost no sun and no wind. might just keep the soil for future

If you got a PPM pen and a PH pen, we can take a lot of guessing out the game here

new growth does look good though

do another plain water brother, right now is a delicate time for her. she's technically recovering still, and will be untill she's fully recovered. in the situation of too much food or too little food, you rather wana hang to the side of too little food, because it's easier rectified than dealing with lockout and all that shit. if she still got feed around the roots (which she does, you can see because she's still stressing) and you feed again, you just jumping back in the boat you came from. rather keep the water you giving them clean till you can almost see a slight N deficiency then you start giving like normal again. you'll be giving plain water to those plants for a while before they start getting hungry again.

what's up man, hope all is well your side I don't even have a automated watering system, but I have bins full of pipes, different adapters and connectors, inline filters, gromets.... can't toss it all cause I might still use it, but it's all there cause I tried to plan out a irrigation system off the top of my head and kept having to build little puzzles in the shop when I'm buying the stuff and still end up buying shit I never needed! just wana drop a 2c here, if you looking at automating your water schedule don't cheap out on a irrigation systems. having weak connections and end up with leaks or having to redo the whole thing because of small miscalculations is just headaches ontop of headaches. I helped set up a irrigation system for a protea farm, 9 hectares, we didn't want to bring in too much technology so with a little permaculture background and know how we set the whole thing up to work with gravity only and eneded up with 9bar pressure in the pipes when the dams are full. worked with Bergrevierbesproeiing in Paarl, they're like a middle man who stock all the needs for any irrigation setup you have in mind, different brands and "set layouts" and a bunch of super smart people who will advise you on what the best options might be for your situation. don't know what area you're in, but there are quite a few big time irrigation companies around as we are in farm country and it's big business around here, maybe check in your area and have a chat with some of the real smart irrigation guys who know all the products and work with these things all day everyday. buying the wrong thing and having to drive back and forth and putting your whole project on hold cause you need components and all that is something to try avoid from the start... I wish someone told me this back when I wasted all my time and money like that, I just write it off a school fees

Banana 1 week hanging, storage room goes dark, rh50-60%, temperatures in there go from 17 to 25°C Canopy now, the banana took quite a lot of space Zkittle 1, signs of fade coming on with a bit of nute burn Zkittle 2, quite a bit of fade on lower part of plant already, haven't looked at trichomes, will probably do so during the week. Zkittle 3, absolutely no fade yet, instead she's turning a little purple and like I said, small buds but best smells coming from her out of the 3. Super Lemon OG, also started to fade over the weekend.

hi @Farmer is this the whole plant? It's hard to make out what you're trying to show, but there is for sure powdery mildew on those leaves...

@Hooper let her dry out is best yeah but once you go to water you need to know what to give. got those pens? ph and ppm? if it's ph, giving epsom will not help. you don't wana risk high ppm being the cause of this then you add more ppm and make the problem worse. if it's neither of the two, your ph in check and ppm where it needs to be, only then you can for sure say the plant needs or could do with anything. ortherwise like mr prom said, tooo much guessing... testing your medium will only help

what's up Hooper, the way they curling there seems to be more canoeing and only little bit of clawing. The two differ a bit in that the canoeing is a signal of either heat and/or low RH stress or the onset of Magnesium deficiency. Clawing will begin in the early stages of Nitrogen toxicity. You got bit of both aswell as slight discoloration on the leaves. I haven't used any ecobuz products, had a quick look at the multigrow and I see 5ml product to 5L water is recommended dose, so that shouldn't be the problem. First two questions I have for you, you got a ph pen? You got a ppm pen? Can help us a lot right now. If not, you gona have to tell us more. Cause it may be heat stress, what are your temps mornings, noons and nights? What medium? What feeding regime? What foliar regime? You got other plants of same genetics growing there aswell?

oh, you can trust the family wants to see them goodies. thanks for the response, I am doing a cleanup soon, will be the first time cleaning the budbox, wana make sure I am thorough! gotta respect your cleanliness man

Yeah, on the log that sonoff provides I only get the on/off times aswell, so this is where the last bit of physical labour comes in. I have a file with printed out pages with a little excell spread on it where I capture the data. I've learned that having things so automatic that you don't have to pay attention to it at all things will go wrong without you noticing it, so even when things are fully automatic you gotta do check ups, so I just put it on myself to open the sonoff app at least 3 times a day (morning, noon and night) and take a screenshot of the readings. Then I have a folder under my camera album on my phone where I collect all those screenshots. I've stopped filling in the data sheet as I don't care to use that much paper and I mean what are smart phones for if not helping us remember stuff. So I know I have a back log of all that happened, here is an example of the excell spread I used to use. Now, here is where mr. @Autoflow3r can jump in. If there's a way to design an app that automatically fills in the data so you don't have to take screenshots 3 times a day every day, that's maybe something he can look into. Personally I prefer "having to check up" and change as needed, instead of just keeping log of where things went wrong because I trusted technology.

ooooff!! fok yeah! I know what would go great with this energy

Yeah, lights on at night.

They look happy too

nice nice nice, congrats on the harvest can we expect some bud porn? what products you using for your clean up?

Welcome! Getting started is exciting times man, I am still new to this myself and we learning here on the forum every single day, loads of valuable information and crazy ideas, tips and tricks for us youngins from some seasoned local growers! You working with anything yet, or at what stage of building your setup are you? We love to see pictures! Enjoy your stay!

I was at natures pharmacy when cops came in, both had to "join the club" to enter the smoking area, so give all their details and pay the fee, then the one dude looked at a couple jars of weed, they looked aroud the area and left. few weeks pass and I am there again and the dude running the branch told me they all got arrested and spent a couple hours in a cell with real criminals, then was let go later the same day and they got a fuck ton of weed back that was confiscated and is now sueing the police dudes for wrongfull arrests. this was all in the paarl post newspaper.

A classic old saying comes to mind when I read all this, "Courage is knowing it might hurt, and doing it anyway. Stupidity is the same thing. And that's why life is hard." I am sure a lot of you have heard about this Natures Pharmacy place operating under the One Culture club thing and there are other cannabis related social clubs and quite some movement in the "treating cannabis as if it is already legal" department. Here is my question, you guys see this as courage our stupidity? You guys think these people are hindering the movement or are they helping it? When looking at all the big names in usa such as Mendo Dope and Jungle Boys they all share a similar backstory, and that is that they all had to break the law quite a couple times and face long court hours to get to where they are. Today those guys are heros in the industry. Not saying we should look at how they run things over there in Murica, I would never say that, but we can "cherry-pick" what we wana learn from.

Took the banana out the tent for a closer look, the whole plant flopping over, cut into a bud to get these photos she'll be coming down tonight. she's already heavy indica so early flower for her at almost no amber trichomes at all mostly cloudy with a few clear ones here and there. rest of the plants got few weeks to go still

hahahah well my first order as president, LEGALIZE IT!!!!! yeah that guy got a point there, but I wouldn't say their country doesn't have any problems either or to look at how they doing shit. africa has a unique situation, and when I say unique I picture this.... perfect representation of our current situation. it's like the meeting you described there, it's a f*ing joke how some of these "leaders" act.... There is a video on the internet somewhere of a big fat black man with heavy African accent standing in the streets of a European country screaming "Look at this! Look at this!" and he is pointing at the public transport, the buildings and how clean the place is and shit and the beautiful cities that are centuries old. Then he goes on to explain and ask how it is that some people have to leave the continent their on to go to other continents to go and get resources that we have on our continent in abundace, and if you're on different continents they have everything we should have infact we do have those things, but it's all on other continents, and it has been for f*ing yeeeeeaaars hahahah it's actually a funny video. It just leaves a person speechless! I am hearing and seeing quite a lot happening for cannabis here on the Southern tip and it's very exciting being able to witness all this happening right infront of me. Started smoking weed when people where still made out to be a criminal and now we're already here. Definitly moving in the right direction!

no flowers on her yet? pyrol those fuckers!
