African Pure Breed and White Rhino,South Africa and GHS strains

Heyyyy Fellow GKers, Been a long time Growing n Posting any of my grows. been trying to get a f...kin female outta these AFRICAN seeds braught from me, but cause of my limited space, and the other various strains, there isnt much but 2 at a time to find a female, and its took me 6 plants/seeds to find 1.lol

So here we go.

Strains.... > AFRICAN pure Land Race = TRANSKEI..... and WHITE RHINO from GHS.
SOIL for MEDIUM > Not so good, "Every-day" SOIL from LOCAL SUPERMARKET...:icon_scratch: Says it has essentials and Micro Nutrients an Peat Moss and Its extremely LIGHT in weight also. (WOULDNT RECCOMEND though.lol):icon_confused:

As for the size of Containers, im Using a 3 n half Gallon all the way, from seed to Flowering, to the FINISH (But thinking i may have to RE-POT (Any Suggestions d by ANY) ty:thumbsup:

NUTRIENTS Bio-Bizz GROW
Bio-Bizz BLOOM, Bio-Bizz TOPMAX, Bio-Bizz Alg-A-Mic (liquid seaweed)
Added Some Dolomite-Lime and always Water and feed them PH corect IMO to, at 6.4-6.5.(for Maximum Uptake) :thumbsup:

OK here are the First of Many pics ive taken over tese TWO Plants, One is a BEAST in a 3 n half Gallon, and my WR NEARLY, just NEARLY gave up on me,lol, but a lil MG def |IMO, so just TODAY as i POST, Tried to CORRECT that in adding EPSOM SALTS provided, which im hoping is the SOLUTION, or maybe even considering RE-POTTING, as im only into day 23 of FLOWERING (So need to do so ASAP, If the suggestions are that, and IMO also. :icon_confused:

Suggestions Wanted! :jj:

Pics....(Vegging Stages) early-ish on, about week 3)

 

More Recent Pics from VEGG stage...Pics from That bit onward toward the flowering MOMENTS! lol :jmorph: THings are A-OK just now, looking very LUSH n GREEN, but strats to worsen in the NACROTIC type look, but IMO its an MG, but we'l see from OPINIONS, Thanks al GK..:thumbsup: Pictures:

Some more to get this up n running...lolANY opinions so far would be MOST appreciated, by anyone at all, it will all be taken into account with mucho mucho appreciation! Looking OK for now, but as soon as i Start the GROW feed, which believe it or NOT, has ONLY been Used 1-2 times so far, so Indicating to me that the SOIL is RICH in Nitrogen, and W/E the Feck else too..lmao But we'l see....otleaf: :icon_scratch:

folks........Veggetation POINT was almost 7-8 weeks All in, 3-4 on WINDOW CILL , hence the TIGHT packed NODING spaces... And 2 weeks into 400 water HPS on 16/8, then a change further to 14/10 for another2 weeks.Then BOTH plants thrown right into FLOWERING mode at 12/12, after Approx 7-8 weeks , Give or take. (a week or so) OK, ..... It, here are some more further on once again pics, much much nearer FLOWERING time! UrBigBuddie.... otleaf: :jj:

PEace n Thaks already for the KIND otleaf: WORDS my fellow GKers!


WHITE RHINO will be UP next, VERY INDI-DOM PHENO i have of MED-MAN/WHITE RHINO, but this choice of SOIL/MEDIUM is bleeping my grow for a good while, so hers to the EPSOM salts Giving it the MG they seemingly NEEDED! :thumbsup:

 

Nice healthy plants UBB I'll be watching that pure breed African-Bud

The TRANSKEI is on its way now, thanks RES, yea its semmingly stopping now that ive added the MG EPSOM SALTS to improve on the UPtake of Nutes and Get this Beast Fixed, as it may well be root-bound, but looking mucho better IMO, so all good for me at this Point(Well...so far.. ) Here are some more PICTURES nearer the FLOWERING stages! When FLOWERING has been Iniciated, i WILL anounce it in here, so ya'l KNOW when i Turned this TRANSKEI....:jj: :thumbsup: Extremely TIGHT internoding spaces, VERY tight n Compact, all this becasue of my 15 watter CFL in ma kitchen,lol, and the WINDOW CILL in itself, as it got alot of Good quality sunshine, and was KEPT Tied down, but the released for FLOWERING!

Looking NOT BAD, Tight Tight Int-Nodes.....Could be worse. OK people of GK, this is another Day(yet again,lol) :jj: And here are some Updates.Ive been having a little Black Fly Problem, which seemingly is this shitty SUPERMARKET Medium/Soil im using this time round,lol.thats atracting them with the smell of of it. (As ive never ever had ANY pest problems EVER... All good though now IMO, could be much much worse) In any case, this SOIL is way RICH, and is Needed PH correcting at EVERY feed and Watering, as im Feeding every Week(1 a week) Water Inbetween weeks too. (More like 1 FLUSH a week):thumbsup: Seems to have helped with the Soil Nurturing down to an "OK" typa Medium now, but that COULD,:icon_scratch: just be the EPSOM SALTS added for the MG lacking....:icon_scratch: :bongin: :thumbsup: So , a hint and TIP for ALL who GROW, GROW GROW your OWN, Buy some "PROPER MEDIUM/SOIL" (if ya use SOIL) it well worth the and effort, or it Could just wipe out your lil Beauties alltogether!:icon_confused: :bong2: Now here are some more pictures of the TRANSKEI, this plant is STRONG, as in, STEMS and WHAT it Can Take, given it being a LAND-RACE strain. P.S, Some PRE-FLOWERS starting to appear now, slowly, but surely!!! :thumbsup: :jj: Jeahhhhhhhh....

they are looking good Buddy, lookin forward to the African so keep us updated Them African genes defo have potential for greatness, my first grow was El Fuego De Schiva, which was bred form African genetics - Ethiopia Shashemene x Zwazi Rooi Baard x Purple Hybrids. It was a picky strain, but also very very potent :thumbsup:

 

LOve the AFRICANS my good friend!!!!

The SWAZZI RED-BEARD is an awsome smoke indeed my man LINK420 :thumbsup: :jj: otleaf: INDEED!


MY friend that braught me these seeds, also braught me home some good bit of a HAlf OZ of Swazzi from SA.lol, and It was an UPLIFTING POWER High that was like never gonna land at one point, but it lasted for ages too my good man :thumbsup: all the way for SWAZZI RED BEARD (SWAZZI RUUDI BAARD) REDBEARD, QUALITY QUALITY Genetics my good man!


Il be posting updates of the Practical FLOWERING stages NEXT. They all start to Go LIME green a little, and the STEMS are a lil PURPLE the now, but its an OUTDOOOR strain REALLY, and it was Taken from an OUTDOOR Plant too, so all in all, il be mucho mucho mucho HAPPY/PLEASED with a RESULT with this here strain! :jj:


Thanks for stopping buy Link420... :thumbsup:


Updates coming soon, the EPSOM SALTS has defo HELPED these STRAINS for sure!( i think..lol)


UBB......... otleaf: :thumbsup: :jj:

 

Update.....Well GK... Here we are at yet another update on this already near finished grow again,lol.I always POst up LATE Now, just for my OWN personal Reasons... W/E they may be....lol :jj: Anyway..... There now well into FLOWERING, showing some signs of Yellowing through the FOLIAGE, not from tips to the the stem, but all over some of the Leaves. At first IMO, it was just MG def, or LACK of, dunno, but Lack of was my IMO, so i used some EPSOM SALTS to sort that, and it seemingly helped for 2 days, and then BANG, after i fed it 1.5 mls of BLOOM, it has now started, the Signs again of the yellowing, and it seemingly has plenty of NITROGEN in it, but i have FLUSHED it with EPSOM SALTS twice now (NOTa FULL flush in the way ya wud do it with the 5 times the amount of BODY MASS of the containers) But just Pouring 2-3 littres of EPSOM SLATED water(PH corrected at 6.4-6.5) and it STILL giving me BOTHER! lol I KNOW it WILL PRODUCE otleaf: Decent too, but Im STILL wondering WTF to do if it continues, as ive had this Before(just let ity go, and ran it course, still got plenty of otleaf: But wanna Find out what exactly IS wrong here!!!???) . Is it because i STARTED and Am finishing in the SAME size CONTAINER from start to finish? or what? :icon_scratch: Im Left on this one....May feel the urge to Get some Bio-Bizz SOIL and do a TRANSPLANT into a 5 Gallon from a 3... What you all think on this one? Worth the bother, as i NEED more Medium anyway TBH... In the mean time GK, here are some Pictures of what is going on at the moment, and pics from the START to finish of FLOWERING also... Pictures:

Pictures n Update! Feedback .....Update on the Transkei... It is well on the way into flowering now! Im actually at about 4 n half weeks in on 12/12, and the Foliage is slowing down on the spreading of the NActoric Leaves, and recovering in BUD RODUCTION, quite quickly too. Although this is happening im STILL not 100percent sertain that thias has stopped, or WILL STOP So ANY help or Ideas toward this here grow, would be Highly Appreciated to the max, fellow GK'ers... Wish i had a solution for this, but still cant even pin point what EXACTLY is going on, IMO its MG, but Tried treating that with EPSOM SALTS as ive mentioned a cpl times now, but ONLY slowing it down IMO, but not sertain on it!?!? Here are some of the pictures that might HELP to determain the Issue at hand! * FED the African strain a 1.5 ml BLOOM the other day(2 days ago) and Today, its seemingly "OK" not too bad, but STILL yellowing Slightly, even with a FLUSH each week, and 2, 3 littre Small FLUSHES with EPSOM SALTS...Dont know if that WILL do the JOB:icon_scratch: , or if the growth spurts were just stunted with the MEDIUM or w/e at FIRST!? Pics: FEEDBACK highly WELCOME! ty GKind..otleaf: :jj:

how come you decided not to give them the full flush of the 2 or 3x the water compared to pot size???? i might try that again.....nobody commented yet so i decided to give my 02. good luck ubb.....i know youre capable of producing some fat ass buds so im sure youll get it figured out.:thumbsup:

 

Looks like it might need some nitrogen.

 

Update.....

Yes, Thanks for rep Big-T-Double and SecretGrower420... :thumbsup:Yea, im going to go ahead n try out giving it some NITROGEN now that it has settled , on the NACROTIC side of the Foliage(Due to Burns n Whatnot and Soil being Very Toxic). So im now going ahead with some NITRO for the TRUE budding stages now.... Its SATIVA, so Its gonna take longer than expected, from my usual Strains that i like to grow, but all in all, all that IMO is needed , IS a little Nitrogen Top-Up for the Length of time that this SATIVA will take!So in goes 2 mls to a littre of water(At 6.5 PH) into the SOIL for the Plants to get Budding Properly, now that the Buds are a starting to kick in sweeetly! The EPSOM helped Big time (IN TIME I MUST ADD.) But all in all, its done the Trick, NO-Need for TRANSPLANTING IMO from now, its Budding well, n the smell is Quite Skunky/Musky, Very Limey Green Colouring to this plant, and it likes to stay that way,(No Darker at all Really exept in the NEw Growth, which is a lil Darker) so im guesing that just the genes of this TRANSKEI strain. :thumbsup: NOW! lol Here we go with some new pics for all to see,Il do, a DOUBLE post , so theres a TOTAL of a new 10 Pictures of the Progression stages i've just(JUST) surpassed! otleaf: Picture Update: Any Feedback ALWAYS welcomed.....:thumbsup:
