Thanks@Bos. So you basically grow, take the male and female that show good growth and strong DP traits from the batch, put them together, make seeds then start over again next season if doing it outdoors. And by doing this year after year do you end up with an original strain. The guy seeds originated from is pretty serious about his game. Trying to get hold of the dude but the name Male Piet says it all. The plants that are eliminated do you still let them flower. I've got the space. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

11/9/2020. Day 1. I'm gonna be using days instead of date from here going forward. 3 seeds into 10l pots and I put a dome over them. Not sure if this is the correct thing to do but I'll be monitoring them. Had to put the light off to take the cabinet pic, just in case you all think I got a regular light bulb in there. QB75 is 500mm above plant. Blurple is 400mm above plant. I'll have to figure out correct heights, open to suggestions here bud's. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Finally after a few minor logistical problems and you know, life, I am ready to embark on my second indoor grow journey courtesy of @Bay Seeds. Thanks bud. Grow setup: 6 x Glamberry from @Bay Seeds. 1m x 1m x 1.6m cabinet from @Wife's Shelving Unit's. She's still a bit peeved. 1 x QB75 bar from @growopz. 1 x 300w no name Chinese blurple, after investigation probably 100w gifted by a friend. Soil. 50/50 Just Cannabis and specially made soil for propagation mixed together, perlite, vermiculite and coir added. Soil into 10l pots, watered and left to dry out again. I'll be planting 3 now and the other 3 in 2-4 weeks time depending on the growth rate. I may have another light by then that above friend wants me to compare. He has a few on the way from China. Hey, if I can score a light I'm sure it will do as a veg light instead of CFLs Grow plan: I have rigged the lights so that I can put 2 plants under the QB75 and 1 plant under the blurple. I will be rotating the pots in their respective places so that the plants can benefit from the overlapping light. Then of course as much light as possible from the greatest light supplier out there, Mother Nature. I'm curious to see the difference in growth under the 2 lights. No two plants are the same and if they spending most of time outside, I don't know. 8/9/2020 07H30 - 3 Glamberry seeds into paper towel. 10/9/2020 Checked this morning round 6ish and 1 had a tail. What's the right terminology here bud's? 5pm all 3 were wagging their tails, seed #1 about 10mm. Can see myself naming these girls, gotta be optimistic guys. I'll be putting them into pots during the course of tomorrow at this rate. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Hey there bud's. I take the cardboard roll from toilet paper, snip to preferred size, compact wet coir into it then let it dry, put it into the soil of my final pot and pop a seed into it. I'm always looking for ways of saving cash that I don't have anyway. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

If you look back to the time of Pagans pre christianity, sowing and harvesting all happened around various stages of the moon. There weren't calendars to tell you what to do or apps for reminders. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Hey buds. How does this strain hunting work. I'll be moving 34 DP, gave 4 away today, outdoors the next couple of days. Been thinking how do you make a mother plant, is it male or female, do you need both. If it is the real stuff I was given the seed came from a hydro grower, seed grown outdoor by a friend ( no experience, just a plant growing in the garden ), plant flowered and he gave me some smoke and seeds. I would like to look into this a bit more as I have the space and the DamDave moment seedlings. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the heads up. Been thinking about flower food. I'll be starting the @Bay Seeds grow shortly. Got a few Durban Poison getting ready to move outdoors first to clear the cabinet. Thread starting in a day or two, plenty of questions, suggestions and what the fuck is that dude doing moments APPEARING ON A SCREEN NEAR YOU. Keep you dudes posted [emoji109] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Hey thanks bud. I've got the QB75 bar in the flower 1m x1m cabinet, eventually I want 3 or 4 of them in there. This no name light was thinking of veg only in the long term. Considered putting it with the QB75 but won't I end up with an uneven grow unless I constantly rotate the plants. Which will not be a problem as I won't be using any specific grow training. I'll be starting @Bay Seeds test grow and wanting to get optimal light in the flower cabinet. I'll be putting 2 in the cabinet. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

So this pumps out 100w and uses 130w from the plug, is that correct. Only good for veg. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

It has 2 drivers and 2 fans. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Hey all. Got this from a friend and wondering if it's worth while replacing my 200w worth of cfl's with it. Is there any way of checking the true wattage for idiots without a meter. Without me burning the reservation down please [emoji16] Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Can't keep up. 2 rabbits and a parrot are usually close by trying their luck as well. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

I've got access to a soil specially made for veld and fynbos propagation and seedlings. My first grow seemed to be ok in that soil what with me not knowing what I was doing. Only thing I added was water. To make my soil stretch l have bought a bag of just cannabis soil, coir, perlite and vermiculite. Mixing 1 bag my soil, 1 bag craft soil and the extras. Gonna run a test on that and look into food of a sort for the various growth stages. Open to suggestions. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Yeeeah! You know. Bag seed from a buddy who got it from another buddy of ours who does hydro. Germinated 4 and FCUK all happened. Had a Dammit Dave moment and chucked the rest of the bag in paper towel. Ta Da. So yeah, looks like farm. Gonna have to put a few directly into the ground as I can't keep up with the soil.

Hey bud. Sorry to hear about your bad luck run on the pesticide. Put that shit on the top shelf out of reach man. I'll be starting my run over the weekend. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

I'll name a few after you in dedication to your loss. Sorry about your logistical problem bud. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

What part of the world you at? If you Cape Town side I have some space for you. That way you can grow and visit your skelm on the side. I have 38 Durban Poison, 3 Strawberry Cheesecake and 1 Jack Berry I'll be moving into the shade house shortly. So I have space indoors and out. The reservation is about 30 minutes from Cape Town.

Hoezit@Pants. Are you gonna be doing your grow indoor or out. I've been held up due to logistical problems but will be starting my Bay Seeds shortly. I'm in two minds wether indoor or out. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Cactus soil will be fine, succulents like well draining soil. Did you know it helps with stress and anxiety if chowed. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

I've been using Jack Berry outdoor home grow for 3 years now. Just completed my 1st indoor and judging from my early harvest pic I am convinced I was originally given what was stated on the pack. Anyway, I wake up, 4am, spliff, 6am, baby and wife wake up, spliff, 8am, start the day, spliff, you get the drift. I have a constant 'old war wound' back and neck pain, the moment I've been without spliff for a day or two, eina to the tenth. Jack Berry gives me a mellow high, brings out the creative juices in me, and no feeling doff or paranoid. And it really helps with my pain. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Hey buds, life kinda took over hence the silence. I made the decision to reduce my plants to 4, 8 just seemed to much for the light coverage. Two happy rabbits and a parrot though. The remaining plants seemed to like the new arrangement but then again every parent will tell you how beautiful their baby is. Although I did get light burn of a sorts or a potassium deficiency more than likely. I had to harvest a week or so earlier than I wanted to due to lighting issues. Was not exactly happy but what can you do. All in all I'm happy with the outcome. Going into something you not familiar with and expecting low results sometime produces a bonus. My bonus: learnt a lot, thanks guys. ready for the next round. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

Hi there @Bay Seeds, you all well I hope. I would love to be involved with a little project with what would be 5 different grow styles, setup's and lights. I can imagine that's what a grow off will be like. Not sure if I would qualify though as it's only my first indoor grow I'll be done with in 2 weeks. I have a veg cabinet 700 x 500 x 900mm with a total of of 205w of cfl's. My flower cabinet is 900 x 900 x 1500mm using a QB75 bar from@growopz. I'll be adding 2 x 15w strips of can't remember now but it was the latest diode technology not far off Bridgelux. My grow height will be limited to 1000mm to allow for light adjustment. I use soil specially made for cuttings, seedling and grow, I do not use nutes as I can't afford them so I try and find natural ways of treating my plants and generally around our nursery. Borehole water 6.5 - 6.7pH. I will also be doing an outdoor grow under the elements and one in a shade house. Will you be donating ( gotta watch our words with new laws ) feminized or are they autos? What will the criteria be? I've been growing bag seed up to now, once again, can't afford decent seed. I was going to start a grow diary anyway and use the forum to steer me in the right direction in case someone spots me doing something wrong. I could have opted for a clone but I believe they not the best for training methods, I'm not saying they're not. Just what I read. Anyway, give it some thought. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk

I got the earlier version of the QB75 and very happy. The bonus part is that as and when I can I will be adding more until I have 300w in my 1m x1m cabinet as I find the price affordable. Sent from my DRA-LX5 using Tapatalk
