Fucked up and thought I'd set the timer for my tent plant, I'd set it but had it on manual not auto so plants been 24/7 light for almost 3 weeks, thought it was just stretching, but wondered why I was seeing any small flowers forming. Gunna be too big for the tent. Anyway take care guys happy growing

[PATSR420]

Yep and good timing to jar is getting a bit low. They look better in person my phone takes shit photos it's doesn't stink the room out but put your nose in it and it's got a real pungent citrus smell close to lemons . She definitely could've benefited from some lst and I think I was over watering in the start . Drying is going to be Abit problematic at the moment my sheds been getting high 20s and even 30° at times . Cheers bro have a good day !

Merry New Year and Happy Xmas all, I’m hearing ya about the heat, although my room temps are 20/25°C consistently now that I’ve ducted the portable air con out of room. I’ve had my cloner humming away since Xmas with 4 cuts off the outdoor, left them in it after they shot roots and flipped light cycle. Just want them to show sex so I know if I’m wasting my time with the yard tree as it came from bagseed. It’s looking healthy so far. Even after getting such a hiding.

 

[PATSR420]

@DavoeNZ yea bro Gelato auto it's on the list of freebies from Herbie's ratchet about the bugs Ive just brought some Neem oil and yellow sticky traps just in case but looking good at the moment touch wood . Everytime one of my plants has been Abit to tall have just bent them over pretty much snapped some of em and theve all seemed to do well I've done it pretty late in flower to.

@Dr. Death that's a beautiful plant bro I'm kind of hoping it's a girl for you just to see the buds that come off her.

Here's a picture of what I got flowering at the moment flipped on the 27th Dec if my memory is correct will have to check calendar , the back 2 are Zkittles freebies from Herbie's the little lady is OG Kush S.F.V and the other one is Critical both from advanced seeds The Og is the one that had a had turn for the worst bit of a nitrogen deficiency I think she's coming back but looks to be stunted illd usually veg Abit more and fill a screen however trying to save some room for the 5 purple punch Wich I'm kind of excited about probaly the best job I've done at raising seeds haha . I've also got a few clones in there from the ones I've just put in to flower in case I want keep something around

Loved NZ, one of the best trips of my life. Was a shame that MJ was pretty much non-existent there though. Would have made the hike up Mt. Tiranaki that much more amazing.

Do they grant grower licenses there for medical use? What kinds of penalties are there for possession of cannabis in NZ? I have a license to grow here and our state is completely legalized. It’s been wild to see this happen in my lifetime.

Not sure your circumstances but it’s definitely far from ‘non-existent’ has been in great abundance all of my lifetime, but unless you know the local lingo/slang you are always going to come across like an undercover detective if you have a strange accent and are asking people where to buy weed.

You can apply for a government license to grow medicinal cannabis, but the application fee is over $1M NZD and you can only sell it to the NZ medical research companies approved in your license (so you are selling back to the government at a price they set) also your under tight controls and auditing.
I had a very wealthy friend assess going down this track until his accountant advised that if he followed it through he would be broke within a decade.
I believe there are limited medicinal products you can legally purchase with a script from a doctor, I’ve heard they are ridiculously expensive.
As for penalties, it depends on situation, how big prosecution has a hard on for you and the court on the day, if the guy before you going up for child molestation and gets off, the judge might want to feel better about himself and throw the book at the next guy/girl. It can range from a fine to imprisonment.

Yeah I didn’t ask anyone when I was there, I didn’t want to be rude or impose. Some the locals I talked to in Christchurch about it said that it’s hard to come by and that most people who have it keep it and don’t want to sell it. Ha! I could understand that I suppose.

That’s crazy that it’s so difficult to get into the growing side of it there. I live in The second state that legalized in the country here in the US. Everyone said that our dropout rates would go crazy and that it would basically lead to the end of the world. Turns out, our college enrollment went up and our school systems benefited from it because the tax revenue from production and retail sales goes towards the education fund in our state.

Everyone said the streets would smell like marijuana, they do not and basically nothing has changed. If you go to the local marijuana store, it’s just like any other retailer. It’s funny to see how many sweet little old ladies there are wandering around and they’re getting their edibles. I’m from the generation before and after it was made legal. There are people who are just coming of age where it’s almost always been legal for them. Weird to think.

If New Zealand legalized, you guys would make killing from your tourists. I remember when it was illegal here, what a pain. Hope your government makes the transition at some point too.

It would make sense if you enquires were close to Xmas, as with our seasons being opposite that’s the lull period for the outdoor guys, harvest isn’t till March here.
Legality wise…. there was a referendum to legalise for medical use a couple of years ago, it was a close vote, but ultimately it went the way of against. I can’t help but to think the gangs were in favour of against. It’s still one of their biggest incomes.

I was there in may for the queens birthday (had a blast, by the way). Either way it’s all good. Maybe next time I’m down I’ll let you know I’m coming your way! Ha

I think I remember reading about that vote in fact. It’s a surprise to me that it didn’t pass given how progressive your government seems to be on a host of issues.

Funny you mention that about the gangs, a lot of the indoor growers were really opposed to legalization because they had a lock on the markets. I was in the marketing department for a pretty major equipment manufacturer for indoor gardening. Even they were concerned that their biggest most loyal clients might be negatively impacted. In the end it didn’t matter, they made out well with new growers coming online.

Yeah bro I've sprayed with need and organic insect shit three times now, still getting hit. Gunna be what it's gunna be, just want the tent empty so I do a round of grandmommy purple or the runtz punch. Your zkittlez looks bro, that was one of my freebies too. Just starting to flower now.

 

[PATSR420]

@Quintana glad you liked it here !! There sure is plenty of weed but I guess as a tourist it can be hard to get in the know alltough hit the little towns and it'll most likely be gifted to you depending the person but be sure to let us know if you return, I personally enjoy meeting foreigners and getting to learn about others way of life .

@Dr. Death yeap the laws here are pretty bullshit , change would be good be nice to grow freely .

ye bro my ladies have been really slow growing in my no till setup. like 5-6 weeks in vege and not much growth. Probably need to change to a new batch of soil as I didn't have much aeration in it, and its compacted az. And still getting it from those thrips.
Sprayed them with a neem solution and dusted them with DE. seems to keep them at bay long enough.


I got too keen and popped 4 of the herbies seeds. nw I have too many plants.
clockwise from top left. sour d. Triple g. jack herer. sour puss.

 

[DavoeNZ]

Look good easy to pop too many eh. Had too restrain myself. Had the fucking helicopter hovering right above my garden this made me a bit a paranoid lol. Had it circle heaps but never come low as and just sot there. How you did find the de, heard it's good. Never used it but might give it a try. The small one is the freebie zkittlez auto, the rest are just randomn plants.
