I have started a grow journal, as the heatwave issues are now a thing of the past and instead replaced by relentless rain! Here is the link: https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/magicflame.135765/

I could not agree more. I can already see how this whole new S.A. market is going to be swallowed up by "Big Pharma" by means of impossible licensing laws. I can only pray that the government will be able to see this, but with a look at their past conduct, I doubt that. Greed always seems to...

Hey ANC. NIce to "meet" you. Interesting that comment...seems you will get a different answer depending on who you ask, he-he. It makes sense to me too that you would want to lightly stress them like that to encourage the roots to do their thing. Compare that to professionally growing grapes...

Hi All. Not so sure how to do it, but can I perhaps request a mod to move this thread to the grow journals area instead. I started this thread hoping to gain some advice to deal with a several weeks long heatwave (and have gotten said advice in abundance). Reading around the forum, I noticed...

Great, excellent. Thanks to all who contributed to my learning. Now, ironically (with regard to this thread's heading i.e. "heatwave"), that is now no longer an issue thanks to the daily rain we are getting. Instead I would like some input from those in the know on feeding; the soil is now wet...

I would like to acquire some Durban Poison feminized seeds for next years grow, but ironically being in South Africa (the home of DP) I am having some trouble finding a supplier. I have managed to track down some at GSR under their locally (South African) held stocks, but I'm a little dubious...

This tree is about 2 weeks behind the others and while they have shown pre-flowers for at least 10 weeks there is not a single pistle to be seen on this one yet (fortunately no balls ether). It is however stretching like a beast and quickly catching up with the other 2 in height, Strangely it...

Thanks Tas. Noted. I don't mind stressing them a little while still vegging; I want them to keep stretching those roots. However it must be mentioned that I work from home and the plants are right outside my workshop window, so I can see immediately when some leaves start wilting. A little mist...

I normally only water when the upper soil layer seems entirely dry and some of the leaves only start to wilt ever so slightly. Lately though I have not watered much at all as we seem to be getting a light thunderstorm at least every other day. The girls LOVE those thunderstorms.

Thank you socaljoe.

Thanks bro! I can hardly wait. I have had no bud for months (when I planted, I decided the next spliff I enjoy will be from my garden), so it will be sweeeet!

Hi all. It's been years since I have posted over here. I had a tiny little stealth box back then, but due to the size I could not grow anything worth a damn. Since weed has been decriminalized in SA, I obviously had to take the chance to try again, but outdoors this time. It is mostly going...

Hope it's soon. I've only ever grown random crap bag seeds and would love to try my hand at some "exotic" strains with handsome flowers.

Just a little update to the above: I have smoked some more of the leaves from those males, but find that the effect has seriously diminished as I move further down the height. This leads me to believe that some potency lies in the top leaves and not in any of the fan leaves. Will investigate...

I have read with great interest many of the opinions here and on other sites all morning. Having just yanked 4 males from my grow-box and currently without weed to tide me over while the ladies mature, I decided I had nothing to loose by trying to smoke some of it. Call it a desperate experiment...
