Looking very cool man. I see you did a full on lollipop on all the ladies.

I would throw a number out of between 10 to 15 grams dry trim weight per plant.

So all in all between 160 and 200 grams I would guestimate...

I enjoyed following your grow. Went a lot faster than a Baobab 

Thanks man. It's been a wild ride, thanks for following.  

Donor/mother plants were harvested on Sunday. Quite stoked with how they came out, but I think they would have done better if the lower growth was removed so the plants could  focus on the top colas. guess that's comes with more experience, this is only my 3rd proper grow. I will probably wash both of them through bags and press the hash.

Tent ladies... First thing I noticed when I opened the building door was acrid burned electrical smell. 1 of the RAM circulation fans had burned out during the evening. Quite fucked off with that, these fans were a new addition for this grow. Less than 3 months old!! 

I have no idea what the dry yield is going to be. Anyone keen to hazard a guess? I'd love hear from the seasoned growers.

Thanks for looking. Your opinion, negative or positive is most valued.

What dose do you find to be the best with the silica?

I'll check my notes this evening when I get home. 

What region are you in? You could flower them outside if you're in a summer rainfall area. 

3 folia products only in vegetative growth stage. 

• Silica weekly 
• Fulvic weekly 
• Neem as preventative every two weeks.   

I'm super excited for this bout, the first was straight up war. I'd love for the @theassassinbaby take the W. 

You shouldn't need to to any training when using the SOG cultivation method. The point is to have more plants producing a single main cola each. I guess you could top the clones, let them recover for a few days and then flip.

Yeah so I was thinking of giving the mother to a mate to flower outdoors and keeping the clones for myself, as that way I'll only need one tent.

But when I am able to expand I'll pheno hunt and use multiple tents, that's the goal

Okay cool man. I'm about to harvest my 1st SOG. 

Things I have learned. 

• Clone selection is vital. 
• Pot size is a debatable subject. I used 4.5ltr nursery bags, but I feel you can probably get away with half that size, but this means more frequent irrigation/fertigation.   
• For a SOG more is always more, but it comes with its difficulties. Fertigation/irrigation gets difficult to do by hand when there are loads of pots. FAE needs to be dialed in perfectly, loads of plants are going to do wild things with the RH. 
• Watch the plants like a hawk in the first 3 weeks, I dropped the ball and 1 of the 16 split and grew two growing points which kept her short while the others got tall. 
• Clone selection is vital!!!!! 
• a week or slightly more veg time before flip would probably have increased the yield, most resources say that vegging them will end with to much plant material for the space. 
• Did I mention selecting the right clones is vital? 

Overall, SOG was a super fun cultivation method.    

Are you looking to preserve the donor/mother plant? If not, and you flower her outside. Your most important task will be to make sure your clone selection for the tent is on point. This is where I failed with my recent SOG grown.

It would be good to find out the ppm of Chlorine and how often they spray it.

I doubt that this info will come freely, but I'll ask around. That's a hectic farming company, I had to sign an NDA when I visited their nursery. 

Interesting topic, I had a discussion with a farm manager at a HUGE farming business in Mooketsi area last week. I was puzzled when he said that they are doing chlorine foliar applications on some of the fruit baring tree crops.  

I will try make time to look it up in the study material. 

You work looks legit, dude. Well done! Where are they available?

It doesnt matter whether or not they can control it, the CPA states that any goods that dont work are valid for return, I expect that to especially be so if I am paying a few hundred rand a seed. Its a flaw in their own business model if they have issues with it, the consumer has a right to purchase a working product, voets toets does not apply.

China and BTC are enemies aren’t they the reason for its recent crash? Read that some still do trade in BTC but new legislation has made it more difficult to do so which makes it unlikely 

The China BTC thing is old FUD, but you are correct. They are trying to push their slaves(people) into using a digital Yuan which has pretty much the opposite core values of BTC. I'm sure there are some people who would accept it still. 

You don't know if they perhaps accept BTC?

Ya they look well, I’d just worry about heat dissipation with 3 boards so close together. But I just thinking, can’t say for certain 

I'm a complete moron when it comes to electronics. Ashamedly, I'll even admit that my lady had to set up the new tv and surround sound a few months back. LOL! 

Those 320W boards look sweet!

You probably deal with Abby Zhang, Abby probably speaks better English than me, very helpful, and once made payment, you watch your order go through a series of import/export hurdles quite seamlessly, Fedex called me before delivery and emailed the invoice for customs, once paid, delivery was made within the week.

Be nice and ask them to put an invoice for 50% off actual amount for customs, got to thank @Prom for guiding me through.

This is gold @ORGANinc. thank you.

Ya they are particularly powerful grow lights and offer the best spectrum. This is the 3500 with far red. Maybe it will help my plants finish quicker. 

Nice dude, Who supplied this unit? I'm starting to plan a second tent, but I don't want to use the same business who supplied mine. 

240W QB Gang. 

Must check out Stratisphere glass. Next level, functional pieces of wonder, man!

Get in touch with the hemp OG Tony Budden from Hemporium. Maybe he can point you in the right direction. 

I struggle to grasp the idea that Seedbanks would refund you for seed that didn't germinate. Why should they? Their side of the deal was complete when you received your order nicely packaged and in good time. The germination process is completely out of their control, how can they be responsible?  The cannabis industry is the ONLY instance I've come across where people expect refunds for seeds that didn't germinate under their own conditions. There is no way to look at a healthy potentially viable seed to determine it isn't going to germinate.

Seedbank: I'm sending this potential failure to Hardcoregrowerman011 just to fuck with him. Ya, I'll show him. 

I've said it before on this forum, buying seed is a gamble you take. Suppliers cannot guarantee the outcomes, in fact nothing is guaranteed. The way to get the exact same outcome is to use clones. 

 The CPA... Lol! you are joking, right? 

Coming up on 7 weeks since flip, and the trichomes are still mostly clear on the plants in the tent. Same same for the donor ladies outside. This is supposed to be a "fast" cultivar...
