  1. Good advice so far ^^ Lets go into the color. Red stems can have a PH, environment (transplanting shock for example) or Temp issue. But in general you wait a week to decide what to do.. as long as the plant seems to grow normal. Red isn't the worst color to have on the stems. If you are violet and your plant is also growing very slowly you can have the above mentioned issues: Mag level low, Temp (in general low temp, around 16C), incorrect PH or simply humidity totally off. Other issues which can cause stem coloring are transplant shock, light burn and over watering. If your plant grows normal and just gets color on the stems.. i would guess first on genetics doing the change, just watch those babies very carefully each day. Over all picture of the plants are more on the healthy side, so wouldn't go in panic mode yet. Try to trace back if you caused it.. otherwise.. let it grow and see, would be my advice.
  2. Putting it into your tent will make the thingy work all the time very hard (constant air flow). If you already have a AC in the room (tent gets climate from the room), I would more tackle the air you suck into the room. And see how to get that more dry in the first place, or reduce the moisture in your tent. Where does the vent from your tent go, back into the room or outside tent and room? Measure the humidity inside your tent, in the room and outside (three units). With those 3 numbers you should get an idea what is your "dry-est" air flow and change the air flow comparing to your needs. If the weather is very humid, i change the vent flow and just bring it outside the tent, not outside the room as usual, room AC doing her thing. (for longer periods you will have to bring in a CO2 generator (recommended anyhow), if you avoid the fresh air because of humidity)
  3. Yep.. very much ^^ the seed banks also started their 420 month.. so ordering seeds has some advantages right now. So go check them out if you need something ^^
  4. Hi PeeWee Hope you fine the right answers Soil.. looks good. Never used that brand, but contains what it should. Ph, good... First two weeks only water, not a lot.. keep it well moist all the time. so better to soak it and then let drip off well, then keeping it on the dry side. Nothing against some nutes from the start. You get special fertilizer for root development. Your nutes don't look to bad for the veg part.. so in your "auto life" first 3-5 weeks, depending on strain. But for flowering, you have to bring potassium and phosphorus up and Nitrogen a bit down. So look further into fertilizer Transplanting.. knowing when, is a bit the key ^^ The rule is rather simple, when you have a plant in a pot, as soon as the leaves reach the outside of the pot, is time for a new home.. with Autos, yes, helps if you put the seed directly in the final pot. Watering rule with hemp is also rather simple.. it wants dry and wet phases. So when you wet it, wet it well, but never let the run off stand in the saucer for longer as 5 hours, best, no saucer and raised above the ground. If the water can easy run off, swamping will not be your issue. Young plants like it moist.. also high air humidity helps. Never let them drop below 10C degrees or the plant will become unhappy to suicidal Due to the short life of an Autoflower, any mistake you do, will cut your yield substantially, first steps with a higher reward at the end you get with a feminized seed, just bit wrong time for that right now. But in any case.. good luck with your next grow
  5. https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponic/plant-lighting/ If you don't care to waste some extra bugs on electricity.. go full spectrum LED.. rest, you find at hydroponics. The Mars 144 is the most energy efficient version.. but I personal only use them in Eskom emergency veg mode But also grew full plants before.. the light works well.
  6. sexy stuff! Looooooooooooooove pic No3 That is how it should look.. But.. clean your pots those old rotting leaves have nothing to do so close to your plant.. keep em clean And happy at least somebody enjoyed outdoor growing.. I did till February.. then it was more like a Nightmare on Mildew Street
  7. You can always drop a Auto.. she will do her thing.. and depending on how much light she gets, will be your harvest. So yes you could.. is it worth it.. i wouldn't. If you run a heater in winter ^^ get a 120cm x 60cm x 180cm tent, put a 144 Mars in and put 8 autos in, 30cm pots.. and forget the heater will provide some warm and proper weed The 144 will set you back around 600 Rand of electricity (depending Eskom price raises.. did we just had one?? Got around 8% units less as last month for the same price)
  8. for a first grow you can slap on your shoulders.. nice job. Autos, you can't treat like a fem.. you have to balance the plant all the time on the boarder of over feeding. But if you do as good on your first Auto as you did on your first grow, not really worried. If you want to go Outdoor Auto for next season, a very rewarding seed is the Bubblelicious Auto from Nirvana. If you feed them well, you get some monstrous buds with a fruity aroma stunning everybody in the room. Outdoor she will take a good 12 weeks.. indoor you get them easy ready in 10 on 20/4. The plant is rated medium difficulty.. don't let that scare you, grows like a weed ^^ If you prefer something else, just take into account, that the times the breeders give are for indoor and 20/4 light cycle. Outdoor you have to add 2 more weeks.. or more, if you want a late harvest. Germinate in Beginning November for 12 week seeds and End Nov to beginning December for 8 week seeds. You want to have the peak of sun duration.. but not go to much into end Feb as harvest time (seed wise). Anything you harvest before end Jan is seed free. Seeds are little power packages, so a plant making seeds.. will always have less potency to the energy loss. The better material you use, the better will be the result.. and if you can't mix stuff yourself.. will cost quite some money, but.. if you do all right, you get a lot more value out as what you put into. If you use prime material for grow medium and fertilizer, have sunny spot (the more, the better) and the quality seeds, you will get rewarded with a weed you can show off to your friends You have a green thumb
  9. Bag seed so you have really zero information, what you are growing count around 9 weeks flowering time. Then do the usual checks to determine when you want to harvest. You will need something magnifying at least x40 times. Check the colors, and decide what kind of weed you want to harvest.. energizing or relaxing.. Just to mention it again.. when you cross Bella Hadid with a local bum.. you will not get a super model again.. more like a little ugly chick.. genetics count a LOT more in MJ growing as with your usual salad.. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH BAG SEEDS!!!! Hope you didn't wasted money on fertilizer on that. See it as a first grow to learn the ropes.. the smoke will be low quality.. what ever you do
  10. Telling somebody over a picture to harvest or not.. isn't the easiest. But I also understand that it is a rather confusing step.. and a very important one too. This is my personal opinion and nothing written in stone As long as the pistils are out, I do not even think into harvest... is my sign for: don't worry.. you still have some time to wait... not even unpacking the pocket microscope Then comes the time the pistils are dried up.. this is when I make my first check.. and decide what kind of weed I want to get.. depending on the weather, you might have to get harvest started.. otherwise.. waiting for taste and couch effect And this is the latest I harvest, you see the amber by just looking at it. In my book that is ~50% (little bit more on the plus side) Hope that helped a little to decide what you do
  11. Prom

    Random grow?

    Depends on your climate. if you are in a very arid area, dry trim. If very humid, you want to remove as much material before you put it to dry, hence wet trim. I wouldn't say one or the other is better.. i use both depending to weather situation.
  12. Not that I am any light expert.. but to my knowing, the cooler shouldn't be connected to any current. My TS3000s don't shock you at all, just warm. You also get shocked when you touch the driver power unit?
  13. I like the names already from your seeds.. ever thought to go a step ahead and go colloidal silver to do fem seeds.. and then.. the last step and cross with ruderalis to get a auto? (No problem to get silver coins, so very easy to get the colloidal silver solution) Would have zero issues to fork you out 1000 Rand for 10 seeds.. if the genetic are as delicious as they sound.. 1500 also zero issue.
  14. Outdoor growing is zero fun this year
  15. Mhhhh I tested the product... the result was: didn't do anything or even made it worse. Somebody used this stuff and actually killed mildew with it??? No joke, I had to cut 2 plants down, which i sprayed a week ago as prevention and thought.. works like Serenade. No, it doesn't.. can't recommend this product one bit. Both plants got 5 days after the spray a heavy Mildew attack..
  16. Just went stocking up on BioBizz.. as long as Eskom stays up, I shouldn't get into to many troubles. (Just knocked on wood) I wish all the best for the upcoming days.. like Totemic, I am not scared to get it. But lets chatter ^^ what bugs me is that we have on average a year 400'000 influenza (flue) related deaths world wide.. and we do not make a mess out of those. So corvid19 has to reach quite another number to even rival normal flue. The numbers I read are 3% mortality when you divide known infected with related deaths. When you go realistic and calculate the number of unknown infect into it.. under 1% mortality rate. I think normal flue has 0.8%. People with a immune deficiency or a present lung infection are clear risk group. The last number I got from Italy count of victims, average age was 79.5 years old. So older people should also be more careful. As TB and HIV are heavy present in Africa, it can get way more out of hands here. But it looks a bit strange, that you ruin your countries finances by shutting it down. There are not many South Africans having the money to survive 21 days on what they own right now and have in their pocket. So you have to get to the point asking yourself.. why do they commit financial suicide.. and that is all over the world countries go into shut down. My personal favorite is, that they do it on purpose. The financial system is in a debt spiral down and getting worse for all governments. They might total the car and blame it on the virus.. we did it to protect you guys, so shut up and stop complaining, that kind of direction. Reform of the finance system would be the next step.. cash is on the hit list for years. If governments could, every transaction would be electronic and with that able to check and tax. Or is way simpler.. hehehe as most politicians are in the risk group (over 60 years old), they act in self preservation. I for my part think is way over reacted to shut down a country because of flue, old people die.. we all have a clock ticking.. not to far away from the 60 myself. At least harvest started.. what keeps you busy for the next days. The next 21 days will not be very boring lets hope Eskom keeps us powered.. only spoiler would be if they shut down too. Stay healthy, stay happy
  17. Just ignore the sugar leaves.. mine are always full amber when I harvest.. tells not a lot. Check the flower tops, 30% amber will bring you to a test of patience Just keep the mildew in your eyes... I had to harvest 2 plants.. and more will follow.. weather is way to humid at my spot. And my Serenade still in shipping.. I get to the point.. I only put Auto out next season is just zero hassle compared to what I fight now on my fems.
  18. Friend had a all the way 1 blade plant. Was a Silver Lemon Haze Autoflower. I had a 3 blade on a Blue Cheese Auto.. I think is mutation but is just a guess. The 1 blade SLH also did foxtailing all the way though flowering. Was strange to look at but the smoke was very very potent and fruity, better than the normal growing SLH plants he had. Was a bit of a head scratcher
  19. When ever you think, it is time to harvest.. wait another week. New growers.. I recommend to do that at least twice Is to early.. sugar leaves turn amber rather fast. Wait till picture area 5 has more color.. would be my suggestion. The more amber, the more couch lock.. so you have to decide when is your perfect time to cut.
  20. You find solar calculators all over the place. It depends how much you consume.. same counts for the borehole pump. If you want to drink the water, run it though a filter. Just calculate all the wattage from the gear you want to run over a 24 hour cycle.. and then check with a company (for example: https://www.exsolar.co.za/) how much the system would cost. I suggest to go with a hybrid system and not a pure off-grid setup.
  21. Good Morning.. not sure is a good one for you SAgrower. This is hard... really hard to tell.. I would say you have fungi, root and Caterpillar/Grasshopper issues.. but would really need to feel the leaves and see the full plant. So very much please please.. others might have better information. The holes are your smallest issue.. when you pulled the plant yesterday, did you smell at the roots? You smell very easy if you have root rot. Sorry.. pictures just keep me guessing..
  22. I have German friends, told them to go in a garden center and get me some They are also my work around, if the company doesn't ship to SA (more car parts wise ^^). But shouldn't be difficult to get it from a online site. Check here perhaps? https://www.7springsfarm.com/serenade-biofungicide-liquid-concentrate-1-quart-bottle/ And that is good news
