Welcome South Africa!

Another South African dude here. We have some good herb around, but there is also a lot of "skunky" junk around. I have recently decided to grow something spectacular for my own use and really appreciate all the advice on this site. Thanks all.

HiGH! from Cape Town, South Africa. I've always said. South Africa has an advantage over other countires like the us or uk in the aspect of our police force not being delveloped enough to be woried about issues like growers, I dont think the same applies for like the meth labs and stuff though. but not only for the one-to-two-plant-growers , but especially for the über grows.

Erm, Ive been smoking for a while so Ive seen quite a few changes to the price of a diff types but it's stayed at these prices
Indoor-$10-$12 (real rare but top strains sometimes go for $15) per gram
Hash (Goldseal)-$2 per gram
Outdoor chronic-$4-$8 per gram
and then ofcourse there's good ol' schwag for like $10 for like ±15 grams

Oh yeah, Cape Town...rocks. Watch out for Johannesburg, it's a waste of time and money up there.

So true ProudlySellin', nothing but low-quality headache-inducing junk in Gauteng! Fortunately my first little grow is going nicely and I will post some pics as soon as I get the time. My temporary grow room is an old printer box with some MH and HPS to light it all, heh heh. The missus has already inquired about the light she seems to see emanating from my workshop even long before I go out to work (timer starts at 5AM) Got to block those holes!

Hi Dude, im from South Africa as well and i agree this site does kick ass..

so what are you growing? I know we are spoilt here in S.A but i still ordered my seeds online, how about yourself?

Anyway , look foward to hear how your grow turns out

Ciao

I'm not entirely sure about the cultivar (if that's the right term - sounds kinda classy, doesn't it?) Some type of Sativa by the look of the leaves. They're seeds from a "bankie" I bought that didn't entirely suck! Man I remember the stuff I used to buy in PE, the friendly city, but now that I'm stuck in Gauteng! Nothing worth mentioning really. I might not be looking in the right places, but truth be told I couldn't be bothered, now that my own crop is in the field as it were.

Not ideal I know, but I didn't want to risk getting busted buying seeds online. Can you refer me to a site I can buy seeds with relative safety? I do have an importers-license if that will help, he he.

p.s. I have since moved all the little guys from the printer box into their new home. I built it from melamine and supawood and am actually rather pleased at how it all turned out. The plants also don't seem to complain and are finally showing some real growth. I am in the process of cunstructing a bank of high power red and blue LEDs to augment the spectrum of color to the palnts. Will let you know how it all turns out.

No Floridasucks, I dont move the lights as they are fited above two panes of glass to isolate the heat from the lights. I do however have a coverable window in the back, which is open to a North-facing window to allow the lovely SA sun to do it's bit as well.
As soon as I notice any stretching, I wiil make a plan to include some form of hoist for the plants themselves. I'm also hoping that the LED-array I'm currently constructing will help to "bush them up" a bit.

very nice man. that setup should work well.

Thanks, it's my first attempt so I'm hoping....well, not my first attempt at carpentry (I do it for a living)....I mean the growing of course. Can't wait for flowering time, well actually two plants have accidentally gone into flowering what with all the hullabaloo surrounding the manufacturing of the greenhouse. (both girls though)
