Hello all you growers of different shapes and sizes I will be embarking on the most unusual and exciting journey, just to show you guys i'm not scared to take a crack at crystals. May not smoke it all, but this is for what the plant will look like given the chance to be grown in peat moss. Caution, I may need a bit of help, now I know this is a long shot, but I'm asking nicely and all in the cause of information sharing and votes on what would work best? You would have much control of what Inputs go where. So I've got 2 plants I think will be up to the task. 2 feminized Sugar Widow @Totemic 1 as a Control, and 1 as the EXPERIMENT! The Substrate - Lithuanian Peat Moss How do I prepare this soil for the nutes? - I need some base of nutrients for buffering correct? I was thinking just adding some dolomite lime, maybe some calcitic lime? Then I will have to PH im sure, jeezz what have I got myself into. Okay I'm surely not going to take the inert salt only route? - Then PPM for each feed, can I just let some nutrient batch sit and water as and when? - My old school pens need batteries. - The amount of perlite that should be added? - The pots will be 10l size so I might just add other 10l pot for experiment sake - Hard pass on the inert stuff, I will be using molasses, microbes, kelpak, aminos, and feed the chems every other day. Maybe its not the best test but what I want to do is have whatever is missing added the way I know how, and fill in the majority of the nutrients needed during flower with this bottle of General Hydroponics FloroCoco, I know, lol i'm sure this thing is meant for Coco. Haha we will see. Because I am completely new to this, there is a big possibly of this thing going belly up super duper fast, but this also I do not care about All your constructive input would be much appreciated. literally a clean slate to start and many many possible ways to approach the soil, the grow and the feed.

It seems that not many salt growers use peat moss as a substrate. However, i'm not sure how reasonable it is in comparison. It has sparked my interest for a long time though. I've still got +- 20l of the Lithuanian peat moss, and i'm not making more soil, maybe ill throw an experiment plant in with the next round, id be happy to use some nutes to display what the peat can do for salt growers. Still got some salts laying round but its the GH Floro coco bloom nutes about 3 years old. Although not sure how many of these avid growers would even care probably just do it anyway.

Hope its okay if I post on here This peat moss is the best substrate, they use them to grow the blueberries, and they definitely use salts. I rate it will work like a bomb, the ph is nice and low.

Nice plant. Smells good!

Uhhmmmmm that blunicorn grows nicely, and the jelly breath also looking great! im loving the growth on a jelly breath cut I got at the moment, should have definitely kept a cut, I’ve notice already shew.

I hope so too, ya its loooooonnggg, but i'm in no rush.

To be honest I was feeling the exact same way, and it is growing very well, it looked like a lanky plant but while she is flowering, she is stacking superbly and frosty, Mine is very jelly, first thing that comes to mind is sweets, maybe the breath will come in later or during the smoke. Ill take pics today.

13 weeks, this plant is really starting to do stuff now, seems the flower is bulking up more over the past week. I Plan to harvest this weekend. The plant is bottom heavy, the buds at the bottom of the plants are significantly more developed and bigger than the ones on top which I'm not complaining about. its a long time to flower a plant, but I was expecting at least one plant to take this long during this time of the year. Its hot as balls and I can find a trace of mildew or any other issues so again, not complaining. Will definitely showcase of some nugs after dried and cured, she is very pretty.

Week 2, been snapping stalks to keep the canopy even, they getting water for now.

Its really neat work, im sure you will be pulling out some fire, those girls outside look very very happy! Continue posting and detailing your grows, i'm sure there's much we can learn from you too.

Welcome! And thanks for sharing! That’s something to be proud of man love it!

Ahhh this is a good plan forward. Less entry per gram and more growers. I see you are accepting entries... should one just enter and request that the strain be acceptable for your selection, have the strains been listed yet, I may have missed this?

She is taking over in my small tent.

@SkunkPharm I think then also the plant would have been more apt to dealing with the light stress, The ginger tea was very chilled in them rays.

I like it, very fast growing plant, I can think of a few ways to grow it better. The plant needs more magnesium than other plants. I have been feeding since week 10, did small amounts of molasses, microbes, aminos, Epsom's and fulvic.

Ginger tea got harvested, SSC going till this weekend or next weekend if i'm lazy, Fade coming in nicely.

Flowering - week 1 complete.

Yes you give fair points, how many different types of bud and quantity thereof can one judge actually smoke? and the reliability of the judging in that manner is something to also ponder. Look like @THCSA Says, if he had to consider everyone ones opinion, nothing would ever really get done, so for what its worth, I think it can be achieved and i'm sure a successful day will be had.

A good alternative to smoking is the IQOS, but to be very honest, its probably more addictive and wayyy more expensive

10 growers is a tiny percentage of growers in Capetown. That's the point I'm making. Yes there are growers doing amazing stuff in commercial facilities and undercover brothers all over SA... with outrageous bud I'm sure, I myself have sampled many many different A-Grade bud selections from Cape town growers (many many many many growers) and all over SA! This was before I started growing. I wasn't buying cheap stuff and by the time I started growing I had sifted through a bucket list of different types of weed. They did the job and I cant knock any products off the shelf, even though when we talk about these mysterious figures, nobody can say who exactly was growing what, you just knew, Hmmm that's a lot of money for a G, but the bud does look phenomenal, and well I guess I'm high and usually I noticed it wasn't for long. So at the end of the day, all said and done, I like my weed best, If I go to another province, id much rather smoke my own weed than paying for premium grade weed somewhere. So I take it with me no matter what. This is my personal super biased opinion about the weed in SA, and that doesn't mean anybody should care or even take notice of what I say. Its just what I've noticed over the years.

Ola growers, all the babies are up in the propagation station and I do not think they will be stretching too much for the light which is amazing as it buys me sometime. I'm quite impressed with these LED tubes. They are fitting the purpose very well.

Government is captured. Been like that for a bloody long time.

Above is the police directorate that was signed by sitohle on the 2018 constitutional court ruling. These 2 documents dive into deep details regarding circumstances of cultivating, possessing, transporting etc. In all circumstances the documents site that there is almost no situation where arrests are a suitable way of managing these instances (now with the new understanding of where cannabis fits in). They are the road map for police officers/law enforcement on how to handle all situations concerning cannabis. These documents have obviously not been a topic of discussion at our local police stations, they probably haven't even seen them. Making arrest is what police have to do. It is what makes the wheels spin there. Now imagine government says nope no more arresting cannabis farmers. Its as good as taking money away from them. They can see what's happening to the illicit market better than anyone I suspect. With all our foreign investment, your words fall on deaf ears. Shouting and screaming for things is an earnest way to go about shit, but its not the smartest way.

Ohhhh I didn't see this

Or maybe this isn't really the place for finding participants and that's already sorted, we can count on a pre-selected bunch of A-grade growers, all 10 of which are some of the best in SA All you gotta do is go smoke some bud and confirm such!
