I have to do that soon too.. where you ordered the granular?

The tent main inliners run 24/7.. I used 4 of those consuming 159 watts each.

You get those in more or less every grow shop.. worst product you can use ^^ they consume a lot more energy as the silent inliners I replaced em with... just cost 50% of the TD-500. The silent inliners pay back within 6 months... with Eskom getting more and more expensive.. that time duration shrinks with any other Eskom price hike. Beside, you can easy speak in the grow area.. isn't possible with 4 of the black ones... sounds like a Turbine factory.

The TD500 consume 51 watts on medium speed. Yes, little less air moved by the silent ones.. but consuming 1/3 is a huge reduction in power consumption. I have 6 TD-500 running in my grow flat. 306 watts 24/7 draw now.. compared with 738 watts on the old setup (4 old inliners and 2 TD-500). With 6 of the old ones, I would stand at 954 watts constant draw. Huge difference in consumption.

Day 5 of Week 13 Update

They got nothing ^^ going into the last weeks now.. still happy flowering, should be on track. Last 5 weeks are running. If all runs like I have it in mind.. they go Flush in 3 weeks from now.

@ORGANinc. will take good care of the seeds  

No idea, i havent mainlined in 13 years  i want to run some lemon og haze, full tray, but a week longer veg and do 16 mains on each plant. See how much g per sqm i get with that method. And test some fertilizers in the same run. 

if i should make an estimate... 9 to 12g per main, 72 to 96g dry. I would get 16 of those size plants in a 1.2x1.2 tray... so should rather easy get the kg dry per sqm. I dropped the lemon og haze seeds today into warm water, plate em later at midnight after the 12h soak. Still prefer autos  to grow.

Wasnt fast enough 

Somebody in CT wants 6 feminized Durban Skunk  from Nirvana... can drive by and grab them free of charge. Send me a PM

Selecting a name can be so easy

@Promabout to snap someone's neck because of that name I  agree tho

 I am more the giggly person.. and not often serious.. that topic gets me serious rather fast  

War and violence is nothing to glorify.. very simple.

My climate is definately off.. I just have no means at the moment to set it right. "Ek kyk maar noord.." Again a learning curve.. Once I'm able to do so... Smooth sailing... 

So mixing the potassium bicarbonate with water and dishwashing liquid? Not recommended?

Na, works fine too.. but again.. once it vaporizes the water, the potassium bicarb will stay behind and change the smoke result a bit. There isn't much you can use during Flower.. late flower is your main danger zone. Climate control is you best option for late flower PM protection.. cold like now, a simple electric heater would do the trick.. in summer adding heat doesn't work, dehumidifier only option. Even winter is more wet, is easier to keep the climate in range for less bugs spend.

I was on 4500 Rand electricity cost in January. Then I changed my inliners and reduced to 2800 Rand Eskom fees. With the Eskom price hikes from April and June.. I am back at 4800 Rand Eskom fees a month.. and they will go on increasing..  climate control isn't cheap, i agree. But without my change of the inliners, my Eskom bill would be over 7k.. more as the rent of the flat. Look that your gear running 24/7 is as energy efficient as you can find.. saves a lot!

Just had a short email exchange with Jenna from Marijuanaseeds.co.za. They have Durban Poison as freebies and when I checked the description, I decided to write and ask not to send me those freebees.

This is why I told them not to send me those seeds:

"She was created after taking the South African landrace Durban and crossing it with our fastest flowering Skunk."

Is a LAND RACE.. and as soon as you cross it.. is NOT Durban Poison anymore. Why sell it with that name? Got changed.. very confusing habit of the breeders out there.. Names are just worth NOTHING anymore these days.. when I buy Durban Poison, I expect land race seeds.. not some crossings you did.  Not just Nirvana pulls that crap.. the Land Race is called Durban Poison.. not Durban or what ever you wanna make up to fit into your plans. Sam the Skunkman cleaned the genetics in California, not even in the Netherlands... is like you see a car for sale: Porsche 911 GT3.. and when you get there, is a 911 Carrera and the seller just painted GT3 behind by hand... doesn't make it a GT3.. just because you write it there. This one is for you Nirvana  

We need some rules for Cannabis breeding and cultivation.. things run totally out of hand. To many have just pure profit in mind and not the love for the plant anymore. I do not understand why lying and telling not true facts became so popular. I got raised by my mom and she told me very often, lying is very bad.. these days you can be happy if you get the truth. Education took a 180 degree turn somewhere.. 

Sorry ^^ not my day hehehe just makes me mad.

It was called Hitler because his birthday is on 4/20. What I was told.

Doesn't really take the moron out of the sentence.. there are a lot people born on the 20th April.. and none of those killed millions of people because it fit into their plans. Nothing Hitler did needs to be remembered, except the atrocities committed.. sorry, have absolutely no good sentiment for that piece of shit.. i stick to it.. seeking attention.. is the only reason for such a name. There is NOTHING good coming from that name.. why in heavens name use it for a weed strain??? Next we get Anthrax, Ebola or some other mass murderers for strain names, which bring and brought pain, suffering and death to this world.. Stalin and Mao Tse-tung would be still up for grabs... sorry.. not helping with names like that. Is about the last plant I would put in my Mother tent.. really, the last plant... and just because some douche bag thought is a funny name for a weed strain.. no, it isn't! Point!

2 words... love it! 

What sound you play the Ladies? Gun'n Roses, Welcome to the Jungle? 

not sure why weed has to carry the name of a war criminal.

To me smoking and relaxing has nothing in common with what ever violent background, the least war.

Some moron seeking attention... is my opinion to that weeds name

None of the Pineapple Express we tested actually made it in the mother tent. Went compost heap... potent yes, Pineapple flavor.. nope... bye bye

I kept 2 mothers from the Cream Caramel batch. One kicked very hard, the other had a lovely sweet caramel flavor.. growing a bigger batch with training. Very very giggly weed. Main reason to keep it. Just grows veeeeeeery slow and super compact.

I very much enjoy the Deluxe Sugarcane... a lot more as my Slurricane pheno. The DS will replace the Slurri.. very similar grow behavoir, the DS just tastes 10 times more interesting, both potent, no complains on that part.

You get those everywhere.. builders, grow shops... something over 200 rand, battery backup build in, eskom not bugging at all. I have 3 running for 1.5 years non stop.. no issues

Thank you so much.. So one spray the plants with that and then immediately after with the prefered solution? With the sulpher I mix the dishwashing liquid in with it. Can I not do the same with the potasium bicarb?

I use potassium hydrogen carbonate and is already rather soft to spray.. I use it pure if I need it. Early flower max.. 

And I go with Crex on this one.. don't wash the Sulphur off, you might accumulate the concentration and give some serious issues to lower parts of the plant.

Once you are done with the plants, use a Sulphur burner and smoke your grow spot, that cleans up all spores in the area. Remember.. you only get PM when your climate is off. Work on that first... your climate is in check, you do not get PM.

I tape off all lights.. the cam running light also had to go dark ^^ Pitch Black is the goal 

Day 3 of Week 13 Update

They got 2 Liters of 1/3/4 (Fish Mix, Bloom, Top Max) and 4ml per 10 liter Amino Boost

Is one of those fertilizers.. they do all perfect  Page itself recommends to use it as foilar feed.. the content of the product

• MULTIGRO contains nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, boron and molybdenum.

Is very much open to all possible fuckups.. i don't think is magnesium.. as the product he gave contains it. Ph might be bye bye.. I would suggest to flush the stuff out and use a proper cannabis fertilizer.. where you know what ratio of NPK you actually give the plant. They don't even give any ratio on the website, what is inside but not how much of each.. this fertilizer is a no go zone for Cannabis.. to much guessing involved  my 5 cent to the issue

You gave them a foilar spray with 5ml on 5l water, correct?

Pressed version. Best hash i made so far. Creamy texture, very aromatic and 2 dudes smoking for over 30 years went to bed after the test joint  

Purely made from indoor Gelato.

 got a compliment from Qure and the Futurama guys.. had the small slab with.. but machine refused to give a test result.. concentrates.. not hash.

But they use the same testing method as CanaBliss (photo spectroscopy, just a Humbold machine, not the Israeli version, also 4 times the price of the machine Canabill uses.. way way faster in giving results).. and confirmed, the results fit, you just get way less information compared to a proper laboratory test. The ranking list is still the top around 21.xx% (I think was 03, CanaBliss was 20.something last time i was there).. ^^ seems to be the limit SA growers can pack out.. come on boys and girls.. we can reach 25%... show meeeeeeee!

Decided to give the full Canna Pro range a go and compare it with BioBizz.. will pick up a set (Mega 3 bottle set and Silicone additional to the Amino Boost) this coming week.. and might just let them compete with a batch of Lemon OG Haze I run from Nirvana anyhow.

Local product... rather cool  still have a smile on my face from the cost reduction to kick Bio Heaven out of the cabinet 

Day 2 of Week 13 Update

This is the product i will test next

150 a liter, nice price

And the winner is Canna Pro Amino Boost

Harvest difference was very slim, 1.5g ahead of the Bio Heaven

Potency difference was also very small but both times Amino Boost won.

One pair had 0.2% more potency and other pair 0.7% stronger then Bio Heaven

Bio Heaven is not as good as Amino Boost... but a lot more expensive... A LOT!!!

Get yourself a bottle of Canna Pro Amino Boost.... those 150 rand are very well invested!!

Just replace the Bio Heaven with Amino Boost and use exactly the same way. I didnt do any Ph on the full grow with FF green bag soil.

First Day of Week 13 Update

They got 2 liters of 1/3/4 (Grow/Bloom/Top Max) and 4ml per 10 liter Amino Boost
