I started with a 70cm tent, a 150W LED, and an inline fan just like Naughty.Psychonaut suggested. For finishing touches like a quality glass piece or a small water pipe, I personally use SmokeDay.com for fast and discreet shipping. Keeping gear simple and solid, not the cheapest, saved me headaches and money.

Hi @Psychotic_Cheez, welcome to 420sa. Another good ingredient to add to aloe vera, is cinnamon. Good as anti fungal and anti bacterial.

I have to ask,are you mistaken end of stem root rot for callouses?Both look the same but with end of stem root rot,the end is soft and mushy,as oppose to callouses,which is also brown but firm.2) I use Aloe vera gel,instead of a powder.In one instance,I used a humidity dome for the first 7 days,then the internet told me to open the vents slightly.When i did,all my clones fell over flat.So I don't open the vents anymore.

This is a social media post, getting a bit of attention, I think the narrative needs to change, with inclusivity, and small thank you to the future thinking growers/breeders who saved something that is hardly found in South Africa. Quiet sad to see us South Africans looking at Durban Poison stolen from our shores, almost 50 years after the fact. I think we need to thank these breeders for coming here and saving, preserving our genetics. If it was not for them turning it into a cup winning house hold brand name, who would have done that. I am sure that these breeders paid a small fortune for the seeds they purchased from farmers, seeded weed, being foreigners. Nothing was stolen, and yes if you dont do something with your strains, business will take it over. Whats your take? I do think that some how from heritage, South Africans should have a right to the name Durban poison.

A friend of mine called me this morning saying that they found a joint in their daughters school bag, and they asked my advice. A difficult topic to discuss, since I am not a parent and the legality of cannabis. The child did explain to the parent that they are using cannabis for their anxiety they face, and not using it for recreational use, and they feel cannabis is far better than the prescription drugs they have been given by a doctor. i am not to sure what the answer is, but wondering if any other parents have experienced this type of situation and what the outcome was.

The Bathurst Agricultural Show is a long-standing celebration of agriculture, rural life, and community in the Eastern Cape. 2027 will see the cannabis hall connect farmers and cannabis businesses for a weekend of networking, learning and experiencing what the Eastern Cape has to offer. Established in 1848, the show has grown into one of the region’s best-known agricultural events, with livestock and farming still at its heart. Competitions, displays, and demonstrations highlight the skill, knowledge, and dedication of those working the land, while showcasing both tradition and progress in agriculture. Alongside this, the show offers a welcoming, family-friendly environment where children can learn, explore, and enjoy hands-on experiences, and families can spend time together on the grounds. From Home Industries and creative exhibitions to food, markets, and open spaces, there’s something for every age. All in the heart of Bathurst.

There is something special about growing cannabis outdoors in South Africa. You work with the seasons, the soil, the sun and the weather. Instead of trying to recreate nature indoors, outdoor growing is about preparing the garden properly and then letting the South African climate do much of the work. And if you're planning to grow outdoors this season, August is the time to start preparing. Spring is just around the corner. August: Prepare Before You Plant By August, winter is beginning to loosen its grip across much of South Africa. The days start getting longer, temperatures begin rising and the soil is slowly waking up. This is the perfect time to get your outdoor garden ready. Don't wait until September to start thinking about your organic soil. If you've been making compost throughout winter, now is the time to start working it into your growing beds. Good compost adds organic matter, improves soil structure and provides a natural source of nutrients for your plants. If you don't have your own compost yet, August is a good time to source some well-matured compost or quality organic matter. Build your soil first. The plants come later. Get Your Compost Teas Going Another great project for August is preparing your own compost teas and biological soil inputs. A simple drum or large container, clean water and an air pump with air bubblers can get you started. The idea is to aerate the water and encourage beneficial biological activity rather than allowing the mixture to bec

Volkswagen is looking to industrial hemp as a sustainable alternative to leather and petroleum-based synthetic materials, potentially putting hemp-based interiors into production vehicles from 2028. The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. Electric vehicles, renewable energy and recyclable components are changing the way cars are designed and manufactured. Now, one of the world's biggest automotive manufacturers is looking at an unlikely material to help reshape the car interior: industrial hemp. Volkswagen has partnered with German start-up Revoltech GmbH to develop a new hemp-based surface material that could be used in Volkswagen vehicles from 2028. The development represents an important step in the growing use of hemp as an industrial material, moving the plant far beyond its traditional associations with textiles, food and cannabis. From leather to hemp Volkswagen's project is focused on developing an alternative to imitation leather rather than simply replacing traditional animal leather with another synthetic material. The material, called LOVR™, stands for Leather-free, Oil-free, Vegan and Residue-based. It is being developed using industrial hemp fibres and a fully bio-based adhesive. Volkswagen says the material is made from residues generated by the regional hemp industry, including hemp cultivated for the food industry. That approach is particularly interesting because the hemp being used is industrial hemp, not high-THC cannabis. Industrial
