Apologies if i came across as a doos but seriously. This semi auto thing is getting to me. There is no such thing as also mentioned by some of our more experienced growers on this forum.

I like your grow and will gladly follow along but please get over the semi auto part brother.

@420SA pls clean up this thread to where the semi auto debacle took off. I would like to see this man's progression and also to keep positive vibes. If you don't mind.Thanks

Lets stop this semi auto malarky.

This is just some marketing mumbo jumbo.

Are you an ACE seeds brand ambassador by any chance?

24k Gold is a Tangie x Kosher. This strain will be 24k dominant then with the mother also being 24k. Should be lekker smoke

Lots of effort with the packaging which is nice to see. Also curious to know about the strain lineage

Are you after the Sativa pheno of this strain? 

In case you haven't seen it on their site:

"I have tried in organic soil and yielded 120gr but when i put it in coco the yield exploded up to 230gr."

Lekker setup there to grow some trees

Sorry to hijack your thread @rdc420 but there's something that i need some answers to from the forum members in the know. 

After my post of my broad DP leaf it was concluded that it was not a pure landrace strain and most probably crossed with Afghani or Skunk or whatever down the line. I get that. 

But with this strain the description is exactly the same as with my DP although it was classified as a pure Sativa also. The hunt for a pure Sativa seems like a dead end.

These are autos that work a little different because the autoflower trait didn't come from Ruderalis.

For it to be an auto it had to be crossed with a Ruderalis. Please tell me more about this strain. Sounds interesting.

The indoor flowering period is 9 - 11 weeks. However, Sativas can finish faster outdoors.

Thats pretty standard flowering times for a photoperiod. I take it that this is not a fast flowering or auto strain then?

Do you leave them outside permanently or introduce a dark cycle indoors/tarp to get them to flower so early? Normally outdoor photoperiods will only start flowering round about about this time of the year.

You should be worried.

I ordered from hydroponics.co.za and my order was delivered within 3 days.

Its a new year and January is almost done so there is no excuse to take 3 weeks with an order unless its a back order.

These are semi-autoflowering landrace Sativas that express both THC and CBD. The semi-autoflowering trait causes them to start flowering after about 6 weeks, or if they become root bound, or if they detect that the photoperiod is shortening.

Fast flowering? 

Where about are you located for them to be so far into flowering? My outdoor plants are still vegging hard here in the South West. Sorry read like my ass again. Cape Town i see. Are those autos?

Looking good bru

Yes brother. That guy is nogals a guru.

Hope this file works.

I will never go back to bagged soil after making my own soil and seeing the great results so far. I used Subcool's super soil recipe and it is fire.

They look good man. Those buds still need to fatten up quite a bit. As mentioned by @donnob look for leaf fade, pistils turning brown/orange and curling into themselves and then trichome colour. Also try your best to keep the bud sites as dry as possible to avoid bud rot during flower. Patience will be rewarded

Cheers on outdoor season

Yo bro. Those trichomes are clear. Note that you should look at trichome colour on the buds themselves and not the leaves. The leaves trichomes mature way faster than those on the buds.Wait until they are milky with about 10% of them amber. Harvest then. At least another 3-4 weeks. Personally i don't flush for i grow in living soil but if you use synthetics then its your call. Lekker

Could be temp/ph related or something is infecting the new growth. What is that dark patch in the bud? Look for bud rot or moth eggs/larvae. 

Nice sizey plant though

Ma se sleg man! I would firstly hand out a moerse pk to your friend, if he was educated by yourself, otherwise i would look deeply into the mirror and promise myself to never let someone else take "care" of my babies. Only you know your plants. Therefore only you feed and take care of them. Live and learn brother

What I tend to do with my outdoors is give the plants a fairly good mist spray with the hose pipe once the plant is strong enough.
A good spray under the leaves really disturb any of the pests plans.
My main problem tends to be those miner things (forget correct name now) at the moment.

Leaf miners? Just squish the miner's trail with both fingers. He is hiding simewhere in that brown trail. Will leave a dried hole in leaf but at least no miner

Shot for sharing @Chris Jay! This very cool to see 

Howzit. In optimal conditions(moist but not soggy medium, high humidity eg. 80%+ and warm temps) you are looking at 3-5 days for the seed to break surface. Some will take longer. All dependant on strain, age of seeds etc. Patience is key

Bone meal mixed with talborne Organics red bag.

Yes bone meal also. Its just a slow release source but the bomb

ive been looking at the bat guano from the hydroponics store and some kelp meal for the topdress mix , the NPK on the bat guano is amazing (3-13-4) but would like to add some extra potassium with the kelp meal (1-0-4).

you reckon a slightly dialed back dose of each bat guano and kelp meal  ( like 75% recommended dose ) would do the trick ? 

Go for it! These amendments won't burn your plants so no stress. I still swear by Epic 5:2. 1/4 teaspoon dilluted with 10L rainwater once a week. Stuff is magic

Very nice brotherThe more cost effective way will be dry amendments. Kelp Meal, Insect frass, Bat Guano etc. EPIC5:2 works great. With these a little goes a long way
