Psylecta

how would the coco be subpar anyway? thought it was inert and cant go "bad"?

@PsyCLown Well i cant say for sure how much truth there is in this story but the one thing that im absolutely certain of is that theres a lot more bullshit than truth and none of it in Just Cannabis's favour either

Because how the fuck do they go & respond (on record nogal) making the claim that the product is substandard but because their supplier refused to do anything therefore UK company is in breach of contract - thats pure bullshit for 2 simple reasons

1.) they continued to sell the substandard product at a premium price - R180 for 30lt is pretty up there --- so one things for sure if they didnt fuck over their supplier they fucked over their customer and in my books if you capable of doing one its likely you done both

2.) breaching a contract doesnt mean you get the keep the shit AND still not pay for it - go breach your home loan and see if the bank gives you any money back

so i mean instead of  REFUSING to sell a substandard product they rather doubled down, packaged & marketed the subspar goods as their own inhouse  premium brand with a premium price  so i  mean it begs the question if the soil is subpar then why continue scamming end users by claiming its premium and if its not subpar then why the fuck dont you just pay your invoices like the rest of us and stop giving the country a bad name.

@Chris Jay yeah, but shame this Pommie still thinks he's getting paid though....someone never explained to him what a "ya bru" is lmao

Hmm, wonder how much truth there is to this. Progrow opening up a new company and reselling their "soil" as Just Cannabis.

Where there's smoke there's fire - might not end up being fire but still reason for concern or at the very least "check it out"

LOL - what soil are we talking about here though? all the say was that it was substandard coco peat?

Kudo's to the journalist for using "Dagga growers" as clickbait lol it became pretty obvious us growers have nothing to do with the story so whether the end users of the soil were nuns growing roses or dagga koppe growing mad nugs is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT but i must say it was an interesting read so thanks for that 

My 2c = If this UK business man brings a suit against them these guys are fucked, its gonna take a long time but as long as the UK supplier doesn't give up/get gatvol of paying for lawyers these guys are screwed, i must say he's an idiot for sending that stock without having secured a deposit or at the very least having the buyers sign surety in their personal capacity as collateral in the likely event he wasnt paid (I say likely because its clear this is his first time dealing with south africans)  

Whats funny though is how the buyers are now claiming breach of contract & the product was substandard (both of which are possible) but they never returned the product or attempted to rectify the issue so if the product was infact substandard which i doubt because no one spends over a million for subpar stock &  starts a new company to sell that same subpar stock so its starting to look pretty obvious like suggested in the piece that the newly registered company was only setup after acquiring the stock in order to sell the product without the guy in the UK being able to point back and say if the product is so bad then why so you continue to sell it?

Either way things not looking too good for Progrow or Just Cannabis - all that UK guy needs to do is prove that the stock sold by just cannabis was acquired/supplied through Progrow & "sold" to just cannabis.......open & shut case. - however this isnt a win for the UK dude as he's very unlikely to get a cent for that stock as its very likely those companies were registered as a CC which would make the directors not liable for debts incurred in a personal capacity, however he could bring a case of fraud of theft by deception against them, but doing so is going to cost him more than what its worth..........Schoolfees paid thats for sure

Yes, I agree. That medium isn't the greatest for seedlings. School fees... I'm getting something better to replace it with. 

Cant go wrong with a Coco/perlite premix - once seedlings are say 3 weeks you can transplant them to organic pot with no worries

Just realized that I am rather ignorant when it comes to joints (in my defense I mainly smoke bongs). Googled and found out that there are quite a few "exotic" joints out there.

@Bakstein420look for my pic of a crossjoint in "420 culture" in the Gallery - i attached a joint rolling handbook PDF there

Nice!!, lol i must admit its the first one I've seen in 18 years of smoking, that bulb is sure to make one cough themselves moertoe 

What medium you running there? - looks very "Barky" - Id be a bit worried the medium is a bit too hot for seedlings, especially since (if i recall correctly) the previous seeds didnt do well because of the medium, wasnt it?

Im sure you corrected that if that was the casea already but just keep a close eye as the leaves look a tad bit light for my liking, however might just be the strain

1 Month Update

Am rather impressed by how well these have grown over the last month

Have transplanted all 3 to larger sized pots last night, so far the Alien Tarantula & OKC are taking the transplant like its nothing only the Slurry that's showing  slightly droopy from a bit of shock.

@SkunkPharm Thanks again, these are sure to be legendary once finished

Leave that by the chimney when santa comes to visit, and after a HUF HUF, Rudolph will shimmy on down for a PUFF PUFF

3.) = SkunkPharm Assortment

yeah man we way past the natural 12 hr light threshold for about 2 months already, im getting sunshine @ like 5:30am already so they  all gonna look like cabbage soon hehe - you could let them continue growing, but you'll be cursing when you need to trim so like Baksteen & Stinger mention only solution is setup a dark room ( can be unused cupboard, moerse bucket,  even empty top loader) main thing is that the  dark cycle  is left completely undisturbed  (Very important )for atleast 12 hours although personally i kept mine dark for around 14  -16 hours sometimes seeing as they were winter plants & i figured that was more or less the light regimen they were already used to, but take care cause too much dark time can stress some strains to hermie out

President seeds and Simba seeds.The listed strains look awesome at first glance. The you realize the pictures of the fem's and auto's are the same. The president 47 is just cringe.. The discriptions are the same as well. I bet the seed you are growing is probibly a tiger one bulk seed and should be a good quality feminized seed. But this is clearly a re-seller with photoshop skills. 

 

@ bayseeds You got hawks eyes my man, well done of that spot the difference - i always am suspicious of any images especially if multiple ones arent provided per strain - but yes doing an image reverse search on google will also bring up any other webpages that that specvific image has been used on too so theres a nice hint for how to due due diligence befopre purchasing

but this highlights another issue on why we need regulation, onus shouldht be on the consumer to have to perform a background check & audit of everything little detail - this is why im so adamant on supporting local breeders, people with ethics and morals - its the only way we'll flush this type of underhanded behaviour from the market is by instilling confidence amongst us growers that buying locally is best - minimal duds, no bullshit, always top quailty that way people who dont provide top quality DEPENDABLE shit will simply cease to exist as they wontbe able to scam any more people into buying their shit because who knows what you actually getting

enough is enough - we have to take this matter into our own hands

*Drops mic*

yeah it has to be salt buildup - no other explaination - taste wont be neccesarily salty just because the compound is in its salt form, so the taste will vary greatly on what makes up the salt.

I Think we got this one busted hey, hopefully one of the heavy hitters will confirm the theory

It's worth mentioning I just tasted it with tip of my tongue, thinking that if it's salt, it should taste salty? It does not 

But not sure if ionic salts taste salty, though? Jury is still out LOL

ROTFLMAO - dude you must be mindreading me because i was gonna say if you brave you could try tasting it - Mold or mildew wouldnt taste like anything other than fluff lol.

open the cap of your nutes and run your pinky along the inside/underside of the cap and taste - should be identical/very similiar tasting

Its really interesting though because once you mentioned nutes i was thinking yeah that would explain why the structure seems as if its growing but also threw me for a six because i see the residue was mainly forming where you made the cut which made me think how is the formation going upwards against gravity (assuming you were drying them by hanging them like attached pic) but then the thought occurred perhaps its like capillary action the buidup of salts forces its way to the point of least resistance (in this case where the chop is) 

yeah theres a very detectable annoying throat burn from unflushed weed, me personally the harshness is annoying but the flavour alteration is dissapointing, my lady that i didnt flush wasnt harsh perse but left a throat burn after smoking not during but the most annoying part was tasting the "sweetness" of the nutes in the bud - it tastes like the nutes smell - goes away the longer you dry but yeah it can be kak, no trainsmash like PM though

Yeah @Psylecta, it does look like it's fungal.... but not 100% sure... Guys I wonder if it could be residual salts/nutrients/similar staying behind as the water leaves the plant? That would tie in with why only the older, drier ones are getting this....

There's still the chance of it being DE, but then the newer fresher ones don't seem to have it.... 


IDK...

its definately possible because now that you mention it whenever i spill my nutes on the counter it dries to the same crystal formation and has a shiny appearance just like this but ive never seen a zoomed in pic of it so im not sure - but very possible

but that if that is the case then only explanation would be that you maybe didnt flush the plants or fed just before chopping

my cam is a shitty 14mp but i'll snap a pic of the dried out residue on the counter to attempt to compare the two

well its definately spore like, just  by looking at the striation patterns - but as for what it is - got absolutely no clue

@PsyCLown what we got here? i personally never seen this before

Almost happened with my @Bay Seeds grow. Forgot them outside in the blistering heat with domes on. Fuuuck I said to myself. 5 day old seedlings where bloated and like a dark purple/black colour.
Only use domes for bedtime now until I can build warmer veg area.
Once again thanks for the heads up though. Little bit more learnt.

Well with the monster cape winds that hit yesterday/today, i noticed a branch from my alien tarantula broke/split about halfway thru the stalk (Wire tie downs + gale force = broken limb) was gonna tape it back on but was hanging on by a thread + i bought some dynaroot last weekend so hey figured why not clone the guy instead....this is basically the only time i use a dome at all, strictly clones -  dont bother using domes for seedlings for the very reason that domes will cause the temp & humidity to spike in the circa 20 degree + range (typically) - creating the perfect temperature & environment that allows for a variety of bacteria  to thrive which obviously increases the odds of a fuckup potentially occuring.

@CreX @PsyCLown @SkunkPharm should probably ask this on my grow diary but since im here already might as well ask ( @DamDave sorry for temporarily hijacking your post)

i spotted a weird odd looking green discoloration on my Alien Tarantula  - can any of you folks spot what this may be , it kinda resembles a "camo" pattern which suggests it may be the beginning of a Phophorus deficiency?

The leaf tip also slightly browing but too early to tell if the bronining tips is from potassium deficiency as opposed to, nute burn or nitrogen Tox - my initial guess was burn but flushing didnt clear it completely - Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated - apart from the discoloration they growing amazingly fast/well

On 11/6/2020 at 4:10 PM, CreX said:

a lack of potassium is the likely cause of the burnt edges.

 

Im constantly calling Potassium - Phosphoruis & vice versa - Gonna rather refer to them as P & K in future, lmao

is there any clever method to avoid confusing the names of the 2 - its like potassium deficiency i can spot a mile away but i always have this instinctive tendency to refer to it as phosphorus instead of what it is Potassium & vice versa,  starting to get really annoying --- its like getting used to driving in North America after living in RSA all your life lmao....left lane, no right lane, ah fuck it, pavement looks safe

Here is my first attempt at supercropping 

I am doing this to stop the taller Aurora Indica from getting too out of hand. It is also another first and if successful is just another tool in the toolbox of growing goodies. 

 

 

 

Giving that lady some rough knuckles eh? yeah, supercropping most definitely the best way to even out the canopy without moving the pot out of your lights "sweet spot"
