Hi @Lerugged I've recently read that it's not a good idea to let the soil dry too much if you're using living soil, because the beneficial organisms can die off. I saw on a video by Mr. Canucks, he keeps the soil slightly damp from the top with a sprinkle of water when letting the soil toward the bottom dry out a little to prevent root rot.
Hey Peter
Ja, that was some HEAVY rain for a change. Hopefully more to come. Will you be growing indoors?
Hey. I'm not really into the whole indoor vibe, we have too much sunshine here and winter almost never gets below 10 c so Will be attempting a couple winter grows this winter. Not expecting much but might as well give it a go.
Thanks i bought nitrosol wil see what it does,any tips for higher soil ph levels?Evening mr.Green I agree there are better seeds/strains out there, I've been collecting landraces as I go along and I've never heard of pondo until last week really....hahaha, it's not a sativa strain that was local to me here in kzn so it's nice to add to my collection, and as you mention from sometimes it's not worth it but some folk like to spend time cultivating an amazing sativa, I have a couple in my garden from Bagseed that I almost gave up on but now they running for pole position...haha I stopped over in you journal earlier looking good brother.....
Evening @Tabenf im also a saffa from kzn nice to meet you, you can use nitrosol for nitrogen.... Don't be shy start a journal and share your grow with us brother, there's plenty of folk who will gladly help if not just tag me @Smeegol and I reply with any help I can,,,,,
I usually just up my water ph a little in order to balance it out.
Just go slow with it. Like start half strength or it will burn your plants to shiz.
Good one, SmeegolBig lady problems....haha yourself and Katins....
Ive got a journal up with pictures, its in a pot ph is about 5,5Is your girl in a pot or in the ground.....? Are you able to measure ph with a soil probe perhaps and take a pic and show us..?
I'm sure mr.Rugged won't mind if you post a pic so we can see what's going on to better help you, or post on my journal " The Jerky Box " down below in this post.....
Hey again LeRugged and thanks for stopping by my grow and commenting man. I wish you had mentioned you were such a Durban lover but luckily I saw your signature and followed you on over here.
I love a great outdoor grow and I love that I can watch you guys in Africa and Australia grow outdoors when it’s too cold in the states!
I have dabbled in outdoor growing and I have successfully harvested a couple. I’ve also lost a few
My foray into outdoor growing has been mostly experimental but this spring I aim to get serious about an outdoor grow. Well, more serious than I’ve ever been before. I’ll be growing a couple plants to try and keep my focus on less plants but big plants and hopefully very healthy.
By the way, I’ve had Durban from a dispensary once upon a time. I wasn’t blown away by the taste by any means. I’m sad to say that because it just seems the genetics have been so poorly maintained it seems.
You SA guys, does your Durban’s ever go purple or is this a result of genetic infiltration?
May I join you mr.Archweedies love outdoors......
Hiya Smeegol! I haven’t quite started the journal for my outdoor goings on, but your welcome to join me in my current one and watch my flowers bloom
Ha mornings first sunny moring for me since sunday 29 for the day
