Tyre garden.

 

From 17 planted there are 8 photoperiods left.

These are the fittest of the fittest ladies I can guarantee.

They putting up with the fight of their life out here.

These girls look solid in the morning but by 4pm they in survival mode.

I've been to a little-known town called Hot az Hell in the Northern Cape, it was hot.

Well, it's hot here and very, very windy.

They looking like they need something. 

 

The ones that were battling outside went into shade house and pulled a few males.

 

They're looking good. Handling the heat with those canoeing leaves i see

@Totemic is it a good idea to give a nitrogen boost once pistils show in case they look a bit light green? And then klap some bat guano to support the flowering stage? That is excluding weekly Kelpak, Epic 5:2 and maybe some worm castings to top dress.

Ive had an evil little garden gnome with a small black cloak destroying my plants a couple of seasons ago. Tracked his miniature footsteps all the way to his hideout. Baited him with a fresh nugget and keeping him now as a repellant in my garden. He gets free herb and keeps all the intruders at bay especially the bloody muskeljatkatte. Handy little fucker he is. I named him Mr Pickles. Hows that!

ok so dogs going after nutes, cats going after leaves is the theory. i can raise the plants on 3 or 4 tyres to solve the dog issue, and even if they eat some leaves ill consider it lollipopping. now to keep the cats of the tyres? bird spikes? 

Dematiaceous earth as topsoil dressing to keep pests at bay then for cats...bird spikes would probably do the job hey...or dogs...haha

Bonemeal also attracts predators. Fence off or cage up your stuff bru.

thanks brother,

yes the temp was slightly high but its hps and summer what can i do lol they might still make it tho, nice day today for rooting lol

ok so after transplant i do the indirect light to direct light things as well, no need for dark period immediately after?

i using seagro 53:7:17 how dilute would you go, 1/2 1/4 1/8th?

okay so your not doing myco as well then im not even convincedthat powder stuff even work maybe the liquid but amazon only comes in feb.

 

Keep clones on 18/6 or 20/4 schedule. Seagro is not suppose to burn plants. I would go half strength. Myco is good stuff. I just havent used it.

have not successfully cloned cannabis before i have a girl outside she is 100 percent sativa
the clay soil where she is growing is not conducive to proper growth and i think she wont survive a transplant from earth to pot
i had some jiffy pellets on hand that i wont be using for germination anymore
so i ran out there and took 6 cuttings, all alive for now and one has begun rooting after 6 days in water soaked jiffy
as they are clones i don't mind which one makes it just need one as i wont find the specific strain again for a while its super important to me
no cloning gel was used
clone dome temp 29.2c
clone dome rh 88%


my questions are
how long must the roots be before i plant them into solo cups about 2.5cm the longest one
can i let it grow fairly long as to wait for the others to catch up or do i trim away after a certain length (want to acclimatize them at same time)
do i wait for light out to transplant or doesn't it matter
does power myco work well as if never run comparison tests on plants from seed before or do i go liquid
its said to not give nitrogen to cloning plants but they are turning very light even for sativa and to use flowering nutes?

I wouldn't stress about length of roots as long as they are healthy. No need to wait until lights out to transplant. The fading of some leaves is due to energy being used to create a healthy root structure. Its normal. Very light nitrogen feed like fishmix or whatever after solo cup transfer. Yewww typed out now! Clones are hardy. Patience. 

I'm no pro cloner but here is what i do:

Take healthy cutting. Cut at 45deg just below an internode. Immediately place in glass jar filled with water to prevent air bubbles travelling up the cut. When ready, take cutting, dip in rooting hormone and place into soaked jiffy pellet. Then into humidity dome. Spray dome's lid with water and keep vents closed. Place in indirect light for 24 hours. After 24hours place under direct light. PPFD reading 200-400. Open dome lid once or twice a day to allow fae. Keep lid sprayed with water for humidity. Temps 21-27 celcius and humidity 70%-90%. After cuttings started showing roots, start hardening them off by opening dome vents slightly more every day. If wilting occurs increase humidity by closing vents. When ready transplant into solo cups with a very light feeding. Pot up once roots poke from drainage holes. Sorted

All im saying is, stay away from BnB. You will receive radio silence if there is any issues germinating etc. Rant over. Support those that deserve the support.

totemic cannacraft sells on 420 but never in stock prices looking like too good

275 for 10 fems?

definitely interested in getting some of this genetics

Totemic's beans are fresh garuanteed. Genetics are solid. The most stable genetics that ive tested locally. At that prices you are getting a bargain of note i tell ya!

The question is: Which local seedbank are really legit? All of them get their seeds from the same mtfken reseller. The difference is in how they handle customer feedback and what their future plans look like re eliminating resellers like Tiger One. 

Take this from a rookie that learned the hard way in the last couple of years. Do not buy seeds from seedbanks that have a non germination policy. They do not want to take responsibility for buying redundant bulk stock from resellers. They do not give a shit about their customers. Its all about swinging the stuff for a quick buck. President Seeds, Simba Seeds and Biltong & Budz are some of the ones that come to mind. There are many others like them. Rather support guys like Overgrow who listens to their customer's feedback and goes out of their way to retain their client base. I will keep on giving credit where credit is due. Peace

Aweh 

How's the temps in your neck of RSA? We're clapping 51deg and 38 in the shade. Ladies showing a bit of wilt, understandably.  

Watered the growbeds last night and very glad we moved to growbeds, pots and bags would not have survived.

Keep hydrated.

Jurra thats rough! Over here avg 25-30 degrees which is manageable. Thank God for the sea breeze

Overgrow is the only local seedbank that i've been using lately. By far the best customer service and great selection of genetics. No issues.

Most of the other local seedbanks get their seeds from a certain reseller who distributes redundant stock which gets sold at premium prices. Utter thievery.

Check out Overgrow here:

Bummer. Well at least you can collect some pollen if its worth breeding with.

Ja im thinking to scale down to 10L fabric pots due to space restrictions. Anything smaller than 10L will get rootbound real fast. Dont know if you have rootbound issues?

As long as you don't fuck up and kill the plant 

Ja definitely. Regular nitrogen feeds also very important. Pruning the mother keeps size in check. If she becomes too rootbound, prune the roots. This will significantly slow down growth due to energy being focused on root recovery which is a good thing if you keeping a mother for long term. To note also that before root pruning, prune the foilage down, give a weeks recovery then prune roots. The stress of pruning is huge for the plant.

how long do you plan to keep and think they can go in a 20l

i have 3 mothers in super soil in 20l fabric pots but looking back im thinking 40l would have been better? i know the fabric pots air prune but is this going to work to keep them for about 6 to 9 months in?

I'm planning to also keep a mother plant which is in a 20L fabric pot with super soil. I will be topping and pruning to control size and slow down growth and if roots become an issue, prune them down.

Howzit guys. Ive got a couple of clones in a humidity dome on a shelf in the garage. 30w led floodlight on 18/6 timer. With loadshedding, this throws a bit of a fork in the cork of course.How many hours of interruption in light cycles will have a significant effect on my clones? 

Purple stems indicates stress caused by temps or watering. The purpling only at the tips rules out genetics. Id diagnose it as heat stress and/or underwatering.
