South African Grow Outdoors- Sour Diesel-Red Swazi-Skunk

[Masterbear]

What are your marijuana laws like. You guys have a lot of white sharks.

Lol you are funny we have all kinds of animals here. The exotic ones haha lions some tigers from India our secondary settlers (cause of the olden day spice trade) and white sharks are plenty I'm from Kwazulu Province. Here in SA it's still illegal to do anything regarding our mighty herb, however smoking isn't as frowned upon as before most cases getting busted is dealers overstepping their turf. Other than that our police are abt a third as efficient as the where you are maybe even worse.

The diesel does smell the most of all this far. It is a pungent almost pepper smell now the other (Swazi) has a scent think they will have 2-4 more weeks before they flower. The other two are between pre-flower and flower. We have a very humid partially overcast day here currently sunny 29 Celsius high 33 today (in case you don't know that's 84F or 92F high)

Some rain expected tomorrow but rest of the week is upper 80s

I will take some pics in a few hours!

[TWS]

Will this El Nino effect you in regards to a wetter or dryer seasons ?

Trips need to be part of your bucket list for sure make SA one and you have a place to stay it's only a pleasure helping like I said wife is from GA so I'm used to it! So adding some of the leaves and internode shots so you can see diff. First is MJ Forest then diesel and lastly my two female anonymous' WW & DP.

Have been thinking about support the nutrients here are diff I might have to mix compounds together for total fix. Currently I Am using guano tea for extra phosphorus and the organic seagrow NPK. The El Niño make for a dry season luckily I harvest water from gutters some days otherwise try overnight water. This part of country gets average amount of rain still.

I mean like cages , netting or wood towers.

Wow very sativa dominate strains. Your diesel looks to be the most sativa dominate which is a little strange. Can't wait to see in a few months. What kind of pest do you have ? Mites and bud worms ?

No they called Christmas Beatles they eat the stem and then there are tiny green grass hoppers that eat the leaves. If they high up and wind blows they fine otherwise. I've had the occasional prey mantis live in it and help keep them out I saw your cage that you use might employ same idea all depends on growth I get now. Most probably will have to apply one around them girls. @thumper60 it's a pleasure, sharing with friends that think alike

Ah yes they are and I haven't seen them around for a while. Almost like the climate change made them no come out or breed. I'd have to take a look. Next time she is on my plant I'll try snap a pic of her.

 

[thumper60]

THAT WOULD BE NICE,i haven't seen one in the wild for many years,used to play with them as a kid scary looking but very gental

Hey @thumper60 I found a little friend!
Took me a while but I looked! There is a story here about this tiny girl who got stolen from me and replanted in this shaded area. Let's say it was neglected badly but I found a gem on them today when I went to prowl around!
This is the entire plant about 20-25cm tall (6-7inches) I relocated my tiny prey mantis onto it and saw something glimpse my eye in the sunlightYup this little tree has some hope indeed! It may be tiny but I'll get a joint out of it! Same angle just zoomed in looks yummy tiny Bonsai sativa lady!

Update on others! SD has just ended first week of flower other are slowly behind with WW showing signs of preflower and DP also slight preflower and you can see resin glands blowing up already! As for the MJ Forest she is adapting well to her new home. I need to purchase another bag of soil to increase amount of soil! The pot is working like a dream and the mixture of perilite and organic soil is light, aerated and hold water well!

Hope all are well and growing is commencing! Peace

Quick update week2 of flowering for Sour Diesel she is looking good and colas are thickening. First signs of trichomes appearing now. My little bonsai MJ has gotten stickier by the day. Trichomes are spiking high and becoming more predominant.
Will take a few of my "Hydra" grow the MJ forest tomorrow and update on WW and DP (one of these two has hermied, which is sad I'm plucking pollen sacs till I'm too overwhelmed. This shemale is keeping me busy but showing great signs of some female dominance.

@Vnsmkr So y'all have sativa dominant strains there too! Thought you would have some of the Kush family there seeing that it comes from your same continent in Afghanistan. Would love to see some of your ladies. Are your grows on here or is there a link I can view. What strains do you have or are they just bag seed?

 

[Vnsmkr]

Not sure why signature not showing. I am not near Afganistan, but further to the East. Huge sativas here.

Hahaha I know your not Afghani lol but the Kush strain which is indica dominant is from your continent. I'll take a look at your rooftop grow. Do you also just grow outdoor? Thanks for the replies!
