At this stage, I literally am winging it with the watering.

I have been using a 2l coke bottle of water/neuts to feed the 3 small plants.

Do you rate should be roughly enough or am I over or under doing it?

I have been doing this every 2 to 3 days, depending on how the top layer of medium felt.

I will get some pics in the next day or so and post them up for the progress and for feedback

I use a 2l coke bottle. 

Water every 2-3 days depending on the size of the plant. Im in 10 liter fabric pots. That seems to work well. 

The 2l should last you 3 waterings atleast and not more then 4.

U are in plastic pots. So they might not dry out too fast. So stay on the 3 day schedule for now.

But show us some pics. Would like to see how they coming along.

What up bro @Bakstein420. 

loosing 4 out of 5 must feel like a kick in the nuts. Especially since u got some fire genetics. .

But the 1 lady looks good bro. Atleast the colour is starting to push through too.

@DamDave autos do get abit of a bad rep. But i personally love those things. Its too simple and easy to grow. Especially since all u gota do is feed.

Yield might be on the low side. But then i just run multiple plants. 

Amazing bro. Just amazing.

Mine is turning out quite okay, a bit bigger than I anticipated but it gives me some nice ideas for smaller spaces  

 

Maybe test your runoff bro... The curled leaves look to be indicative of a slight pH problem... I could be mistaken, but just check. 

Ur solocup is cracking there bud.

There is a 150w LED from ACDC that works very well for plants in veg. @CreX has mentioned it a few times before and it is very affordable as well.

Spot on here bro.

What Gromies.

Updates for you fine people.

So im just gona call the whole grow by 1 date. 

Day 31

Start week 6.

Started with 3 bag seeds. Scrapped 1(looked abit sickly. Wasnt worth the time,effort,energy,nutez for a bag seed)

So 2 left.

1 that i topped - pic 1 and 2

1 that i let grow - pic 3 and 4

I have them outside currently. Trying to check on the sex.

With the purple sunsets.

Purple Sunset 3 - LST and defoil - yet to go into pre flower. I hope i didnt stunt her. - pic 5 and 6

Purple Sunset 2 - no training, just defoil twice. This pheno is a stretchy 1. This is a tall girl. - pic 7 and 8

Purple Sunset 1 - no training. Just defoil twice. This pheno is a short little lady. Not much stretch. Pic 9 and 10

The autos have been getting 24 hours of light. With some full sun days here and there.

The bag seeds about 9 hours of sun, but trying to check sex there. 

Still sticking with my bio bizz nutez

 Grow. Bloom. Topmax. And Seagrow. 100% strength from end of week 2.

Pic 11 group Purple Sunset shot.

Side Note. None showing any signs of Purple.

What up good people. 

So update time.

About day 74. Harvested last night. After 48 hours of darkness. No water last 3 days and a 7 day flush.

Didnt have a scale. So didnt way it up.

But trimed up and drying now.

I got an extraction fan that i can install. But dont think i need it just yet. 

I will weigh it after drying though.

whats up yos!

so i have heard about this kitchen venue that are 420 Friendly and though why not give them a bow for supporting the community in that small way.

these guys are out in Walkerville so if you are looking for a place to vibe and get out the house, try these guys out

check out https://www.facebook.com/injati.industries/ 

We should  do a group day

i guess this section is pretty bleak! 

i am sure some of us know a place or 2 that are pro cannabis/ or at least tolerate the use of marijuana on their premise.

i love going to the great outdoors for a cheeky public smoke... nothing beats a hike with mates and a couple of fatties along the way.

but i guess this section would be for more, closer to home kinda vibes.

who knows of any places where okes can go grab a plate to eat and also enjoy a puff at the same place? 

a bar/weed vibe even... or just a venue that peeps can go and chill, and not feel nervous to spark up.

 

Ill start with 2 places iv heard of.

first is Sundowners in alberton. - bless their souls, i believe the place has shut down.

another one i have heard of is Gerda's Kitchen at Injati.

 

maybe i add a separate topic for the place.

 

hows about a show of secret joints where we can meet up and be ourselves? make a new topic for each Venue and give the supporters some support too!

I know the 420 lounge in Sandton used to be the place to be.

Not sure if they still operating now.

Just came across this from Migrow. 

He has some par readings as well which don't seem too bad. 

 

Shot for the post @CoolJ.

Seems like household lights can be very usefull to grow. This post just validates my floodlight experience. 

Migro obviously used proper equipment to get measurments. 

But my readings with my free app seems like it is inline with migro readings. 

Nice and Frosty

Never know unless u try bro.✌

Ah man, im based in KZN so will miss that. Here the hydro store doesn't even open on the weekend  

Also if u want a good fast cheap solution. I heard great things about the fabric shopping bags. Specifically the woolies 1z. 

10 minutes ago, Bakstein420 said:

@afternoon blazer where do you get your round fabric pots from? 

What up bro. The black 1z were the first 1z i bought 8 liter. 

The grey 1z were bought for the next grow. 10 liter.

Got them from Green thumb hydro.

The grey 1z are freedom farms.

But i must point out. The black pots leak extremly less through the sides compared to the grey 1z. 

Green smoke room and growbuds have now gone into patnership with each other. Theres a store opening somewhere in JHB this weekend. 

Aparently big discounts on everything this weekend. 

Might be a good idea to stop by.

What a lekker cannopy bro.

Howz a super cropping 101 lesson guys.

What's up everyone, hope you're all doing great!

It's been a while since I've been active on here an this is why. About two months ago I finally took the big step to cut all ties and invest literally all of myself into starting up a business with a guy who's been wanting to do this for a while.

I gave my current boss the word, put in my last months notice and this week is my last week before everything starts. This is nothing cannabis related so more detail on that later. I am not trying to tell you guys my lifes story so will try stick to the important stuff!

To help give some perspective, I am 25 and I live in the first place I've been renting on my own. Without a fixed income and untill there's a good cash flow again to get things running everything has to be as cost effective as possible. I've been meeting with people and the best setup is about 10mins drive from my parents house, so I am moving back to my home town and living with the rents untill things are up and running.

This is was not an easy desicion to make, but I am confident in a positive outcome.

As for my grow-

I will have the 1mx1m tent setup running, but had to take apart the veg boX I built, as there wont be space for it. (At first. hahah)

I am busy harvesting at the moment, got the last plant of 4 hanging, other 3 are jarred up and being burped daily. Photos and info will be posted in my thread regarding the grow. Also took the 4 ladies out the veg box, put them in their 20L pots and moved into the tent. Now I have to move with all this hahah the new cannabis bill was just in time!!

A few of you might know, in July I ordered a few things off digikey, some of the stock was out so I opted for a backorder, they told me 8 weeks however it arrived in 5 weeks. Got my box 25th of August. Now I just have to put it all together, but will do that once I'm finished moving.

Last thing, I built a big hot house, for cacti spesifically, at my rents place which is still there and they've got a nice garden with lots of space. So will probably do some outdoor stuff again too!! The hot house isn't the best for cannabis, but will see what can be done!

That's about it, I look forward to giving you all updates on the light build and new grow. I will be growing in a completely different climate so will be interesting to see how adjustment goes.

Blessed people!

Howzit bro. All the best for your new missions. Hope it goes well.

Howzit bro. Yeah in theres alot of back and forth with training Autos.

My first grow. I let her just grow. On the 2nd grow now. And decided to LST 1 auto and let the other 2 grow. So that i could compare the grows.

As mentioned above. Autos start pre flowering early.

However another member is growing some autos and doing some topping. 

@SoloKush. Im waiting to see how his plants turn out. To get an idea.

The 2 autos i started for the experiement were started the same time.

Normal grow is into flowering already. I only did a defoil.

The lst grow is barely starting pre-flower.

Same genetics. Not sure if the lst slowed it down.

Pics 1 and 2 is the LST

Pics 3 and 4 is the normal grow.

Started same time.

Hey guys just thought I would update on the second batch of fastbuds seeds that I germinated. 

All 5 lemonpie germinated as fast as the 1st round, the one free lemon ak did germinated bit did not pull through no idea why tho.. 

Also got my 4 240 watt meijiu quantum boards in from China..  3500k with far red and uv.. got 3 of em on at 40% power... 

Also these fastbuds seeds are freaking fast , the 1st batch of 5 already hit 6/7 nodes on day 18 and have been topped and started the mainlining process on the 1st 5 lemonpie

 

Aiming for huge colas 

Looking good bro. Fast buds have some fire genetics. 

But if im not mistaken. Aint fast buds seeds all autos?

Interested to see how the topping works out. I always thought with autos u LST only. 

But gona watch this 1. See how it goes.
