AHH there's the rub

International brewers are selling less beer in territories where cannabis has been legalised, prompting them to seek tie-ups.

A 2017 study by Georgia State University found that alcohol sales had fallen 15% in US states where medicinal marijuana had been legalised.

Why poison our medicine? Seems like the alcohol lobby wants to demonise weed..again..

W05 flower. 12 females on the go and 10 rooted clones.

Paranoia now a thing of the past, how liberating ..

Day 14 of the clones

6 showing healthy roots, the other cuttings were taken at different stages. Added some kelp extract.

Sorry to hear about your ordeal, its great that you've bounced back and growing again

Top notch, Sir. What's the size of your grow areas? Tell us more about you medium and feed regimen

What about hessian, the stuff used to make sacks?

Veg-W09, Flower-W0. Fired up the 400W hps and flipped to 12/12

Administered a strong concoction of organic and chemical nutes. Was quite impressed with 420sa's reference to the grower who fed 6 times daily to root bound trees, figured I'd give it a try considering 8/12 of my plants are already root bound and thirsty. Can't manage 6x, will settle on 2x daily.  

Got the 400W lamp working off 600W electronic ballast on medium setting. Any one have a recommendation on this? Room is filling out nicely, preflowers already evident on most plants, no sign of balls, but really haven't looked hard enough.

Will perform some LST over the coming weeks as they stretch and show sex. Plan to produce a few seeds and crosses with the AK 48, if I have a worthy stud.. will see

 

Yes you can run the ballast at that, I did a few times (it was mine )

 

Is that you GB? How are things?

Good, clean and fresh 

I got that, but what's the purpose of removing the reflection and the reflection of what?

Mugshot, perhaps?

Have been feeding about every 3-4 days, waiting for the pots to get dryish. Always have done that in the beginning stages and then upped the tempo in the latter. Now that they're in their new pots it's every 2 days. I've never seen the need to go more frequently.

 

A mate of mine has pointed out this dude to me lately. His name is Don Juan Matus. The guy feeds 6 times a day with no runoff, its crazy but the reasoning behind it makes plenty sense. Here's his thread on icmag https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=300255

 

Definitely gonna give this method a try with 1 or 2 plants later on

 

Thanks for the link, really crazy 6x daily, but he knows his variables and manages them to perfection, challenges conventional wisdom and pushes the limits, great strategy to up your game. Squeeze more "elbows" from watts lol

Z , u give ur plants a 24 hrs dark period before the switch?

Just reduced from 18/6 to 16/8 to 12/12, no 24 hr dark period. Feel this schedule mimics nature and is less of a system shock

Couldnt attach pics to above post

So which is fairing better thus far? Where does one get humic acid?

Looking nice and lush:-gthumb

Using ashes from the fireplace, mostly hardwood, no charcoal. Plants seem to be happy with, but hoping to see huge gains in flower. Truly organic. May apply a top dressing in three weeks. If you gonna make your own , make sure no treated timber or firelighters are used 

Mid week 8 of Veg. Cut 10 lower and mid branches from most vigorous plants for cloning in newly built bubble cloner, featuring a 25W aquarium heater, Dynaroot provided the rooting hormones, as you can see a few wilted due to not making contact with water. Been reading conflicting recommendations as to the level of the clone in or above the water, decided to completely submerge tip and raise up once turgid and maintain water level at the level of the cutting to minimise rotting of the stem. Currently would be clones are under a 50w led scored for R90

Reduced light schedule in veg tent from 18/6 to 16/8, plan to flip 12/12 this weekend. Overall plants have reacted well to stress of taking cuttings.

High 420, How about some form of recognition or reward to those forumites who complete their diaries, concluded by a smoke report? Certainly will encourage forum activity and more captivating logs.

Lol I'll be back home this afternoon to give an update. Been fly fishing in Dullstroom since Monday. I can provide this pic so long. Been monitoring my plants with the Alfred app. Organics were transplanted last Sunday night.

Cool stuff. That's the life, flyfishing on a Monday, hope you were high as well lol

So guys, I made some pretty awesome predictions

 

Prediction: Harvest on F80

Result: Harvest on F81

 

I trimmed one small nug a few days before and did some guesstimation based on it's weight vs the remaining volume of buds

 

Prediction: Wet Weight 410g

Result: Wet Weight 413.7g

 

Prediction: Dry Weight 144g

Result: Dry Weight 137.6g

 

Ended up with 134.4g after trimming stems.

 

They are currently in 4 large console jars and I am curing - humidity sensors in all the jars.

 

 

Can really do with some bud porn, been months since toking the last of my stash

Yes sir, we have Amnesia Haze, Strawberry Amnesia, Vanilla Kush, DC OG and Master Kush and a Sour Diesel.

Variety, the spice of life !!!

Man that's some deliciousness , plz post a pic if you don't mind.

Anyways tomorrow I will finish up my diy veg tent, plan to post a how-to for those forumites on a budget, also those with flimsy tents will find this design way more rigid and strong, watch the DIY space....

Forgot to mention, I added about 1/2 cup of wood ashes to each pot, have read mixed reports, but in general, positive. Has anyone experience with ash or potash, when used as fertilizer?

High J. All dandy man, hope the same for you. Anything on the grow?

It's been 6 weeks of veg and I'm relieved to report that all's well, despite the low ambient temperatures, averaging around 15-20C. I've got 4 strains on the go AK-47, OG, BS and White widow. Medium is Coco based, with a melange of amendments, bat and wide bird Guano, mycorrhiza, bonemeal. Feeding with Nitrosol, Seagro and Kelp. Decided to supplement with inorganic nutrifeed in moderation, will update the forum with results. Repotted 4 plants into 30litre pots over the weekend, remaining 10 babies will remain in 8liter pots.

It's been months since I smoked any dank, am really looking forward and to the fruits of this grow...
