    The cops here are all about bribes... but simply putting yourself in the position where you have to pay makes for a very very bad day at the office...Kinda crazy as everyone smokes as part of the culture. There is only one tribe in the country, for whom it is legal to smoke. They are the batonka...

    Here's the outdoor... It's tucked away at the top of this little tropical rock outcrop in my garden. I used a mix of strong dark compost, mixed with a sandy loam soil which occurs here. I mixed in 23-14-18 compound fertiliser a week before transplanting out. Each plant has also just been given 4...

    Yeah... although I live in one of the most isolated places in the world, and ideal for growing...the laws here are bad news. You don't wanna get into a problem with police. We have a saying here..the bush has eyes. There is nothing you can do without being seen. So a green house... too risky...

    Thnaks folks. Think I'll move out that MV light... they are used for attracting insects at night actually. They apparently replicate the sun well. I'll put the HPS in - but heat will be a real problem. When the inside temp of a room is 26 C already.... then you add the HPS - I won't get away...

    Outdoor Southern Africa

    In Africa you have three choices when you are caught. Jail, Death or a bribe. The bribe is generally the way to go. When a constable is paid USD$2 a month... Cannabis is smoked widely here. It's highly illegal and everyone smokes it. The local seedy street stuff costs $5 a pound.

    Outdoor Southern Africa

    Sounding good, and thanks. Winter here is short but can have frost and night time temps at zero degrees. It is very dry and the natural vegetation here dries up. Typical savannah. If i continued with good outdoor crop culture - water and nutes, would the plants continue to bud? Given that...
