Nice post bro. Hope you win the pest wars! Kill em dead!

I like the indoors girl going to be interesting to see how far the buds get seeing as it is a local sativa. Keep posting those pics bro. Like the vegetable patch make sure you send me some stuff you grow!

I like the outdoor hydra. I'm away from my plants for the week and I am relying on nature and a good soaking before I left to pull them through...Will post pics when I am back.i also got someone to take a look and they promised to water but I'm not sure if they will...hmmm

Good growing man.
Hey man, what province do you stay in? If you're in Gauteng, give me a shout and when it's done I'll give you some to try out.

Thanks for the comment, peace out.

So hey guys, just wanted to say, merry Christmas, here are some pics of my girl, she's growing so well.
Order of pics below:

Pic 1 : Plant 1 (node flower growth)
Pic 2 : Plant 1 (cola top view)
Pic 3 : Plant 1 (Plant size stretch)
Pic 4 : Plant 1 (cola growth(

I have plans for my next grow which includes another 150w of hps and mh lighting. We are doubling the amount of lumens from 32000 lumens to about 60000 lumens in the next grow, but we will be adding a few more plants. Instead of one lovely lady, I'm going to get good genetics seeds from a reputable geneticist and grow some power green.

I'll also be doing some DIYing on the grow cab, which will include a new custom design reflective interior reflection, and installation of intake fans, to create active intake, as well as adding two more outtake fans to increase air flow, as the increased heat will need to be expelled, which means more airflow is needed.

I'll cover the grow cab floor with tarp to keep moisture off the wooden surface as it can create mold and cause issues later in the grow stage.

I will be making a DIY grow fixture for the next grow, and I may try some vertical growing this next time around.

But stay tuned to see what will com in the new year.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Take it easy.

Merry Christmas Bru hope you enjoyed it and all the best for the new year ahead.

I will have to come.down to GP to take you up on your offer. Lol but I might just.

Your attempts at indoor have inspired me and I will also attempt it soon. I will build my own box and my own stuff. Lighting and extraction, etc.

Just have to plan properly !

Whenever you're up here, give me a shout and we can meet up and stuff.

Peace out man, thanks for the comments.

Hey everyone, hope you're all ready for the new year. Let's hope it will be a prosperous and productive year for us growers. I can only see good things ahead!

Here's some pics of my girl under the hps. She's starting to pick up a little weight, but the aphids are back, what do you guys think I should do?

Peace out guys.

Hey guys,

Here is an update on my grow.

So I've been fighting these aphids since the start of flowering and it a a pain in the ass!!! These little nuggets multiply so rapidly that if you even leave two of them, they create new colonies of 10s and hundreds eventually!

I pick them off my leaves because I don't want to spray my girl while she's in flowering. But apparently 1tsp oil, 1tsp Dish soap and 1/2tsp bicarbonate of soda with 1gallon water in a spray bottle does the trick. But do it in veg!

Here are some pics of my girl:

Pic 1 : Plant 1 colas
Pic 2: Plant 1 cola
Pic 3: Plant 1 cola
Pic 4: Plant 1 cola

They really are starting to fatten up!
Looking delicious!!!!

Can't wait to get to harvest and try this Sativa dominant (presumed) girl out!!!

I'm thinking I'll do a video of my first taste after curing. I'll also show the process I took to getting to harvest and what I learnt on the way!!!

Keep watching for my Video update!!

Take it easy guys!

This is very nice bro very very nice. Can see the local in there. Lots of KZN in there

Would love to see some pics of the plants in normal light? Could you do that?

How many watts HPS were you running and how much did it impact on your electricity bill?

For those scared of trying soil, try mixing in a little vermicompost with your coco coir.
Coco does not offer a good substrate for bacteria and fungi on its own.
Adding the organic matter especially at the beginning when plants are young and ppm levels of the feed is low will boost both the growth and immune system of your plants.

Hey man, congrats on your successes with your hand crafted soil. is this a water only grow?
Hey man, this was a water only grow, she was small and ended up with only about 25g in total from the one plant. It was only a 150w hps so I wasn't expecting much.

The electricity was about R200extra a month to run the whole setup.

Will be starting a journal soon on my new light (400w hps) so stay tuned, just needed to sort out some personal stuff.

I know this thread wasn't finished all the way, but I've learnt a lot and will be consistent on my next one.


Peace out

Thanks for watching

Just sorting out a new grow room, I'm going to have to build it and it's probably going to take a month or two because I'm going to do it right this time.

Going to be able to fit 4 large or 6 medium sized plants with two 400w hps lights.

Just need to grab all the materials and draw up plans. I think I'm going to create a thread and you guys can follow it all the way through the build up until the end of the grow.

Peace out
