Cape Mountainside Bay Garden: Transkei Sativa Soil Grow

Update: - Holly is close and the other two are filling out and maturing. Testers on the Inzane and Wedding Cake are promising. Good flavor, great highs. One high, one stone.

man Carmen, some true spears you have there! I think back to your concerns at seedling stage and wow you have it handled lol. looks so good.
 
Guys, look at Holly. She is on fire. I know I have been an eager beaver to call Rooibaard, but what do you think? She is reputedly from the wilds of Transkei, which would probably mean minimal cultivation and open pollination.

We should do that... pick a time of day when we are both awake, light up and see if we can project into the same wave length, but you aren't smoking atm are you? :passitleft:I'm in if you're in! Or, you could just take a flower and breathe in the essence at that time! Something like raising a glass at the same time. I will even do it over a cup of tea in your honor.

Good luck with the bud wash Yogi. How is the KwaZulu smoking? I Googled Itchy Boots and I am going to have a look at her SA trip, thanks for that! I agree, SA should be on every bucket list. I'll DM you about the meditation... we probably need to look at the moon :) I'm excited to do that.

Thank you LR! Thank you for being there to answer my behind the scenes questions and encourage me.

Yeah...remember how chewed up and bedraggled they were early on? Amazing recovery!

Shed, look at her now. She is glorious :) Life is such a powerful force. I want to say the will to live but plants don't have consciousness so what would it be instead.... that urge to live...... heavens this weed makes me philosophical hahahaha

Stay high and happy friends, and most of all, stay safe.
 
Those pics of Holly's colas are what breeders should include on their websites for the variety. Stunning!
 
I have disappointing news on the LC-18 x Transkei. She was looking glorious and then suddenly she faded fast and her leaves and pistils dried up. Initially I thought I had a ph problem or that she was over watered. Today I had a close look at the buds and they are full of seed. I'm really sad about that. Someone didn't chop a male. I am going to see if I can make some oil from the flower when she finishes.

Sorry to hear about your seeded LC/Transkei, but if you can find someone over the age of 60 they will teach you to clean seeds from your buds, and you can smoke them just like the sensimilla we're all used to these days. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Sorry to hear that Carmen - some fellow urban baboon wispering herb farmer in the hood perhaps? tbh, i smoke my seeded herb as well and think it would be decent hash material. (also love having seeds).

Thanks Yogi. Yes lol, definitely a few fellow pot farmers in the hood! Now the baboon whispering, that's not that common :laughtwo::laughtwo::laughtwo:

Hey Shed, I am a dab hand at cleaning seed from flower lol. I'm on the approach to 60!
 
Perfect! Break out a double album and see if cleaning is like riding a bicycle. :)
 
That's unfortunate Carmen. If you don't want them then seeds are a pain, but I found when I deliberately pollinated selected stems there didn't seem to be a difference in potency from the unseeded stems, they seemed the same in that regard.

Thanks Stunger! I'm over the initial disappointment and I will make sure to get as much from her as possible. What I can't smoke, I will turn to oil, I think. :passitleft:
 
Morning to ya ms. Carmen..

Ive found canna will adapt to most environs hey even if ya have a streetlight 5m away shining on them all night... hahaha pollen is more of a nightmare these days..

You can use a 100w spotlight pretty much hey and you will still have lekker flowers...

Pick them up for about R350/R400 at hardware stores only downside is they mainly 6500k spectrum suited more for vegging but I use as supplemental lighting on flowering plants as my plants go outside most days if not raining or cloudy...

IMG_20210402_062205.jpg


Here's my Veg area using six 50w spotlights which I flower under as well when my tents in use and have no complaints about they flower they produce...

You can pick up 3400k led bulbs 20w x5 but also need the connector sockets and wire it all up but I'm sure @Lerugged will be able to guide you here as well but you also looking at R300/R400 depending how much bulbs are, cfls in flowering spectrum are also an option but the bulbs are also expensive in all honesty...

Hope this helps ya shout if ya need...
