Up to it I.t.o growing difficulty or mega highness? [emoji1787] I've seen a Train Wreck strain being touted as pretty awesome, must be a distant cousin I imagine... if I remember right a friend had me some when I last visited him in the Cape. Was lekker! Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Have to add to this list... St Clements Nursery Musgrave https://stclements-nursery.business.site/ Stock: Basic pots Their own soil (apparently very popular with locals) One or two other surprises... PM for deets dudes Got a 5l of their soil and 6 x 10cm smalls pots to grow out my pilot "bag" seed demo grow. Seems light and fluffy. Will post pics. Has bark (orchid) which I wasnt that keen on but was convinced to try... All in all cost was R75. They also apparently mix their own nutes which are available. Price seemed reasonable... may give it a run on the bag seed grow and see how it does Highly recommend a pit stop if nearby. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

They had some biscuits. Grabbed 2 to try. Felt a little bit of a tingle. Needed more sugar. If you going today definitely message them first. They had Atami mediums in store but all the FF stuff kept offsite... Free seeds available only if buying grow supplies, not edibles... will get mine next time! Gotta move house first, not moving with bags of full soil [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Lol. They must get that a lot. One of the first things they said was "we don't sell weed" [emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

You tempt me to fork out for the shippage and order online with your sensible points and sage wisdom you kind soul [emoji1787] They do not seem to have a local distributor it seems. Their other product seems intersting: myco-plantmatter... is that a really nice luxury or a waste of money? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I did tune them you sent me as well dude[emoji106] They mentioned beginning work/planning to work with a company called Holy Smokes. Didnt mention clones at all though. The free seeds are apparently from said seed company. Checked them out some seem really nice! Want the Banana Sativa in me now! They did have a display version of the Atami Wilma system up which was nice to see. Is still under consideration for one day maybe [emoji1787] best buy my lotto ticket[emoji1787] Store was tricky to find I must say. Maps tried to take me into the complex behind them, and due to being quite small I drove right past it. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Hi dudes. I generally prefer day time smokes that give me some energy, make me chattier and dont make me sleepy. I dont dig smoke that gives me super dry mouth or red eyes. I am constantly in search of weed that will induce the giggles I got more often when I was younger, and more recently only with Very strong edibles. The kind of weed that you find yourself having cleaned the whole house, washed the car and bathed the dog before thinking... I was just having a cup of coffee on the couch, how did this happen?? [emoji1787][emoji1787] Any favourites among fellow forumites that may meet these criteria? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Was in the area so popped into both shops to kick some tyres and check things out. Both friendly sets of people, had lots of advice to offer! Cannamart definitely newer and smaller. Didnt have a lot on display per se, quite a bit of stuff seems to be stored off site. Not a biggy, provided you are prepared to preorder before arriving - you may be disappointed if you simply pop in. I think this is for safety reasons mostly, is a smallish shop... will definitely support them in future though. GroHydro was quite the opposite [emoji1787] seemed like a warehouse by comparison. Had everything I've read about available on shelf and I really enjoyed peaking at all the bits and pieces that are on display in their tents. Very much felt like a kid in a candy store lol. 2 good experiences and 2 definite sources for all I need for a while! Thanks again for the recommendations chaps. Will keep my eyes open for more shopping options in KZN and update as I discover more. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I never would have guessed. Quick Google search shows cinnamon seems to have many beneficial properties. Can even seemingly be used as a rooting hormone! Shot bru. Will plant the coriander nearby maybe [emoji106] any other plants that may chase bugs away that may be useful to have around? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

From what I have read here those 2 seem most common. Probably need them at some point. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Had a look through @Ill_Evan's current diary, seem to be the FF pots in his pics, maybe it was someone else with the alternative... Not fussy about the brand provided they do the job and I can get them locally to save on bloody courier fees. Those add up quick! Will search for Plant Matter pots to check them out shot.

I may be new around here, and it may not be my place to say this, but I have some experience with other forums in the past. Most of them do not exist anymore as a result of the advent of Wattsapp groups and telegram type arrangements. I would strongly discourage the use of anything other than the forum for communication purposes. With regards the rest of the points: Definitely charge a fee to discourage okes who are just in it for the freebie seeds! Not fair on the breeders. Post count and a completed grow seem good entry criteria. As a newb, a dedicated category for newbs would be lekker, if there happens to be a small prize even better, but the experience gained will be reward enough for most! Looking forward to watching this develop and hopefully take part one day!

Burying my head in the sand and hoping for the best [emoji1787] tbh I'm not sure. Have seen so many different bugs and pest types on here I don't know that I can prepare for them all in advance. Will wait until they inevitably raise their ugly heads and deal with it as it happens. Will put a hundred bucks or 2 in an emergency bug killing envelope in case they strike mid-month [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Such a treasure trove of information that reply! Dates to plant - check Location of pots - little wind shelter needed Feeding charts - yes please sir! As for the pot size I am now in 2 minds. PsyClowns idea of using bigger pots and repurposing them after this appeals to the cheap skate in me. However if these go well I could see myself doing another run with autos in future. Maybe smaller ones dedicated to this purpose would be better than trying to use a bigger pot than is needed here. My other concern is watering... with a smaller pot I may have to be more disciplined at checking them everyday? Bigger pot may hold a bit more water and give me a bigger buffer against neglect/problems? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Welcome fellow Durbanite! I struggled to find DP seeds when shopping. Most places out of stock. There was something romantic about growing a local strain. Then I read about an aniseed flavour and got less keen [emoji1785] Good luck with the grow Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I'm starting to get a clearer idea of what I need to start my grow, but some uncertainty lingers. I want to use the best ingredients I can, but have the barest bones approach to keep it affordable. Going to start accumulating all the bits and pieces I need over the next month to be ready to plant early/mid November as advised by Prom earlier. Seeds: Chose to fork out a bit to hopefully get some great plants: 3x President Seeds World War 3 Fem Auto Genetic Makeup: Trumps Cookie Jar x Gorilla Kim Indica: 60% Sativa: 40% Outdoor: Yes Indoor: Yes Seed to Harvest: 11 Weeks Height: +-1m Yield: Extra Large THC Content: High Effect: Chilled and Relaxed Flavour: Fruity and Earthy 3x Fast Buds Original Sour Diesel Fem Auto Room:Indoor / Outdoor Gender Feminized Genes Mostly Sativa Genetics Sour Diesel Autoflowering Flowering 9-10 weeks Harvest 450-550gr/m2 Height 90-120 THC Up to 21% CBD Very Low Autoflowering Yes These both sound sooo nice. Can't wait for them to arrive. Soil: FF Premium Nutes: BioBizz range Grow or Fishmix ( either or both - depending whats at the store when I get there) Bloom Topmax (optional extra, may replace with cheaper alternative if I can find) Pots Planning on going with the FF fabric bags. Not sure which sizes. Both plants can reach 1m. I have read here a few times that I shouldn't go too big on the sizes for autos? Do I need vermiculite or something as a substrate/drainage/base layer at the bottom of the pot? I ordered some companion Coriander crop cover with the seeds to help the top layer... Is this a good idea? was only R40 Germination tools I am planning on using carlton towel and plates to germinate on my modem. Test run with bag seed underway. If I am correct, best practice seems to be to go straight into the above pots when the seeds pop? This means I have nothing else here on my list? Anything cheap to treat seeds with to help root growth on offer? necessary? Anything else useful to have on hand? Have I forgotten anything?

At least I can finally cast my vote in this poll now You folk have been amazing. Now to start a thread to sort out the rest of my shopping list.

Legend Ultimate Noob. A quick glance at their site seems to show them having all I need more or less. Doesn't matter to me where I get it from if the prices are right (they seem fair at first glance) so will gladly visit and mention you. Will be in a week or 3 as I finalise my shopping list. Thanks for the recommendation!

Nicely done dude. A lot of blood, sweat, tears and money went into that! Next one will be easier for sure.

My bad. stuffed that name up properly Definitely the same. Grovida's website doesn't seem to show either the Biobizz or FF ranges though Seems like somewhat slim pickings for us. I was under the impression there was one in Hillcrest/Kloof/Waterfall but now can't seem to find it. That would have been a little closer!

I have found a few online (no idea if they are any good or if there are better/cheaper) Gro Hydro Address: 51 Columbine Place, Glen Anil, Durban, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa Telephone: (078) 356-3214 – Gary – General Enquires (072) 434-0360 – Anthony – Technical Enquires (082) 561-3671 – Dave – Whole Sale Enquires Fax: +27(0)31 569 5329 Email: info@grohydro.co.za

Any Durban/KZN peeps know a good physical store which stocks a range of all the bits and pieces one would need for a grow? Fabric pots (optional) BioBizz Freedom Farms soil Jiffy pellets or something similar

Definitely the plan long term. For now cheap is more important. Thinking going Premium for now will buy me time to save for pens and such

Shew. I have flip flopped in my mind so much about this topic... Decision time is upon me though, seeds are ordered and will soon be on the way! Because LED lights (where I want to be eventually) are so expensive I've decided to start a run outdoors to try get myself some homegrown sooner and cheaper. I have ordered some really really nice (and pretty pricy) Auto Flowers from B&B in an effort to hopefully further speed up the process. So... Outdoors and Auto's... I'm leaning towards one of the Freedom Farms bags... Still unsure which of their Coco-perlite/ Premium /Formula 1 to go with though. Not gonna have an EC or PH pen for a few more months if this impacts the advice you all may be willing to give on the matter. Thinking BioBizz for nutes. Thanks again for all the advice I have received so far and in advance for what is yet to come

Welcome dude. Beautiful looking plant you have there!
