Found that this works well with the soil I have been fiddling with for the last two months.

The plants in the round green containers checked light for the first time on 24:07:2019

Biggest seed in the world must have something good to offer!

Made some caps and cookies :D Came out quite good. I used MCT for the caps but some of them leak after a while. Probably due to the quality of the caps but thinking I'll use 100% coconut oil next time. Anyone have any tips for a noob? :D

Is it dissolving the pill or is the pill leaking?

Using vegetable or glycerine pill cases ?

Storage of the pill cases when empty and when full ?

That's of the top of my head

Cap is not dissolving but starts leaking after a while. I've tried both veg and gelatin caps. I try to keep the caps in a cool dry place as recommended. I've seen a lot of sites say that MCT caps will leak due the viscosity of the oil (apparently way too thin). Some recommend adding some beeswax. Will give it a shot I suppose :unsure::unsure:
 
Ok so this year Im trying my hand at growing a couple of outdoor plants (Cape Town) as I dont have space to do indoor.

Can one plant now already? I have access to www.hydroponic.co.za but not sure what to get in terms of growing medium, nutrients etc.

Im not going to go full out and measure this and alter that etc etc but would obviously want a healthy couple of plants.

Could someone advise as to what to get from hydroponic / builders / plant shop and if its possible to start planting now already.

Too early for Cape Town now wait until after the Spring equinox. I have lots of small plants that came up from when I harvested, seeds falling on the ground, none of those plants are higher than 15 centimetres after a couple of months so the weather plays a big role.

You can get everything at hydroponics. Nutrients depend on which medium you choose, if you choose organic soil you won't need any nutrients.
 
Any of you guys tried testing the potency or cannabinoid levels of your bud? I'm looking for a cheap lab or reliable equipment to do my own tests.

Ok cool thanks. I will contact you closer to the time then thanks.

I see Hydroponics has moved even closer to me. You can start looking at getting your seeds so long. If you're going for overseas genetics I would plant them 10 weeks before the summer solstice giving you two months veg growth. Swazi takes a lot longer so goes in earlier but if you're too early you risk re-veging the plant.

Thanks for the info, appreciate it.

Start 1 October.

I have had more luck with nutrients than making my own mix or growing in soil (sometimes it was awesome though).

I use their nutrients:


And medium:


You'll need about half a bag per largeish pot.

Serious organic growers will pull up their nose at this but it works well.

Make sure to get lots of sun and little wind.

Seeds from many places incl:


Make sure to get feminised but not auto flower.

Thanks for the links, exactly what I was looking for.

The wind is going to be a major problem, no idea how Im going to work around the wind issue

Poles and shade net. Wind trashed my plants last year.
 
Saw one of these at Builders, see also available at Marko.


Was around R1400 at builders. What you guys think? Will need to be properly secured down as its pretty light.
The material is solid plastic not shade net.
