Never looked at it that way @420sa, that's an interesting take.

Was it an earthy taste because you knew it grew in soil or because it was really earthy. Remember there is no spoon

Interesting thing, he gave us two buds. At the time we didn't know what it was, we were just told to puff a small section of each and write our findings down, only after we compared notes did he tell us what it was. So as for the placebo effect, that's a no from me Sir

LOL! Mind you, even if i didn't, i woulda still won by one vote
I won't do it again, PROMISE! #kakpraat

To be honest, I think it’s all bullshit and just a placebo effect. 

IMO, the difference is there. A buddy of mine did a side by side clone dwc vs soil grow. The dwc finished faster and had bigger buds, but the soil grow had a more pungent smell. It also had an earthy taste to it. Something the dwc bud was lacking.

Honestly bru if you're growing to show your plants off then a journal is there for you, I don't grow to win anything, I do it because of the joy it will bring me. The bud is the best prize you could ever get, don't forget that.

For now POTM is not going to happen, this isn't the first time it fell on its face only to be brought back.

Start up more traffic on the forum, get more people involved. I seen somebody say they don't want to update daily because that's boring, well buddy if seeing your grow daily is boring then perhaps you shouldn't be doing it at all. My friend can attest to when he found me on 420 International with journals peeking over 30k views, updating on a very frequent basis. We can't start this comp on the basis of there might be a prize, does it mean if 15 people enter and 2 drop out it'll leave you with no prizes because it's below the minimum requirement of participants?

Honestly bru and this is the end of my rant, leave it for now. Update your journal, enjoy your time here, enjoy your trials of error and success, give advice and take it in.

Stay blazed

Be very carefull with co2 bud , a tent is not air tight and co2 will leak out . Co2 is deadly if not used correctly , dont do this in your house . As for co2 killing them i have tried as I run a sealed room and the ppm you need to get to and the time period needed is not easy unless you have  sealed something . If you really want to attempt it I would recommend putting the plant in a big plastic bag and filling the bag with co2 and sealing if off. Leave it in there for 2 hours 

Nah, I'm not gonna do it hey. I'm lazy man. Hahaha! But i know it'll work coz I've seen my mate kill baddies in the tanks he has plant life and frogs in. You can actually see the C02 make like a mist at the bottom of the tank.

Luckily its just one plant. Sit down with the plant and try and examine as many leaves as you can. As GLO says it really wont hurt you  if there's a mite or few in your smoke you wont know any better. Plus they tend to somehow bugger off or fall off during the drying process. Chances are you've smoked a shit load of mites in your life anyways lol considering you havent always been growing your own bud  

Awe man, I'm sure I've puffed alot worse than a few mites. It's really not that many. I'm just pissed that they made it into my tent.

That isn't a bad option if you are able to execute it.

It's not that hard hey, I have a 24oz C02 tank and a 2 man tent I can pump it into. But wouldn't that kill my microbes too? And how long would i have to have it there? Like a day?

Thanks for your honest opinion bru. My friend said I should put my plant in a box and pump it full of C02, but that seemed a little drastic. He does that when he gets pests in his terrarium. So tonight it's me, my bitches and the vacuum!

Just some extra protein in your smoke  not much you can do at this stage , remove as much as you can by hand 

Yoh Glo, you kinda spoilt my day now. I was hoping to fuck them up for coming inside somehow.

I'm obviously gonna have to disinfect my tent and other plants. H202 in a spray bottle with water and just whack it?? It's 50% strength.

Thanks guys, appreciate the info. I'll def check them out. If anyone else has info on whether they work, or the yields are as good/better than HID's then post and I'll be sure to see it. Thanks! 

I've done a few grows with 2 x CXB3590's running at 50w each. Pulled over 1g per watt with 1 grow. It all comes down to training in your space. There are grow diaries you can check out, Exodus haze by kaliman seeds, Blue dream from clone and Peppermint Kush by barneys farm. What you get out of it at the end of the day depends on you as the grower. Select the right training for your space and you can get pretty decent yields. My yields weren't very consistant, but that's coz i tried different styles and mediums with each grow. Also take into consideration temperatures. LED's don't throw alot of heat into your grow area. Growing in cooler ambient temps (autumn, winter) will throw your yield out.

Awe guys, my GG is due for chopping and I've been hit by fucking spider mites. It's not a full on infestation, but they're there. Only on the very bottom leaves are affected. No webs yet, but the leaves are spotty and i could check the varke with the loupe. I've plucked the leaves off, but I still wanna get the rest before harvest. That's most likely happening this Sunday or shortly after.

I'm not really keen on the milk spray and I also don't really wanna wash my buds coz of high humidity. Any pointers? I have hydrogen peroxide 50% from the hortishop. Also, is there a shelf life on H202? I have it about 2-3 years. Was stored in the dark.

Awe bru! Nice to have you here also

LoL!! Coming for a bowl bru??
 

open invite?

I'll defs look into it with the chocolope grow. My plants never seem to have an issue until mid/late flower. Maybe its compounded after time??

Jirre Pat, hahaha! I have questions

Shit, I never use pH up in my stuff and my mix always settles around 5.5... Maybe this is why I run into issues in mid/end flower?

I bought a few 3L screw top Consol jars. Works well and it's super cheap. Picked them up for R35.00 each. Not sure if i'm gonna "mod" it with the hygrometer in the lid. I prefer mine at the below the bud, boveda on top.
