This plant had a really bad start in life but is now picking up well , just praying my 50/50 gamble goes the right way,

I started this plant back in late feb and all this growth is since a month ago so I defo wont start so early again,the first pic was taken on the 25th June and the last was taken on the 13th July

The preflowers are big but I'm still unable to tell the sex (my opinion changes by the minute) will the hair come out of the preflower or from behind it? , also the preflower wraps around like a cone and is pointy and looks white inside as it wraps, Is this any indication?.

I've only grew a plant before and that turned out male, more pics on the way but the camera on my N95 has no manual focus so preflowers may be fuzzy.

thanks laters.

Any old timers with bad eyesight should be used to sexing plants with that kind of focus , any ideas? (i know too early),

"Plant" as he's sorry she's (bad omen) affectionetly known is roughly 20 inches (thats a joke I know it to the millemetre) and is growing at a rate of 1-2 inches per day.

So whadaya think?

Looks good man, what size is that pot? Maybe transplant it into what you're going to want to end it in, 5 gal or so? Can't tell the sex but from personal experiance the hairs become extremely obvious on the ladies.

You say gallons I say litres, but I'd say its just over 3 gallons,

I was contemplating the ground but with the U.K. weather not the best later on in the year (now even) I think I will stick to the pot , would you advise me to repot or will the one I'm using be adequate ?.

Oooh, pretty pot. Is that Tuscan? I love clay pots, you just can't overwater with them! Here's something you could try... You could just plant a plastic pot or a large bucket with the bottom cut out, and then when you need to take it indoors once the weather gets bad, you just pull it out of the ground. You just have to be careful about the bottom when you do it. The root mass should keep it all together.

Thanks cpt for the advice I may try it out when she starts flowering but my plant looks so happy in this one I'm afraid to mess around with it too much now ,
nice pot yeah but I move it around to keep it in the sun and my back is aching , but once it flowers I'll stop moving it about.

Does anyone know what affect green fly or black fly have on cannabis plants?.

8ft I wish lol,

wish I had a greenhouse , I built a mini greenhouse one day when I was stoned and ended up just banging bits of wood together , its now falling apart and my plant has quickly outgrown it.
I've got some old tent poles which I may turn into a poly tunnel next year when I buy proper outdoor seeds.

good to hear from a brit also busybee.

My plant is now 24 1/2 inches (just over 2 feet) and its all going well, no sign of sex yet and I'm thinking about force flowering this because I'm a bit worried about the flowering length but I'll probably sit it out and let it do it's own thing.

Found a small maggot looking thing in the top of my plant the other morning and got rid, I've noticed the new leaves are coming out a bit chewed up so I got the little blighter at the right time before it did any serious damage.

By the way I got this seed out of what I was told it was thai stick but I think whoever grew it seeded the batch by accident and just told people it was thai stick, it did have cotton wrapped around it though but was shit smoke. that is why I'm worried about the flowering period because thai's take a long time , the leaves do look sativa to my untrained eye.

This plant is definitely sativa dominant just looking at its pheno

do sativa's generally take a long time to flower?. , I read somewhere that thai's can take upto 5 months to fully flower.

I'm thinking the longer it take to flower the more chance it's a female but on the other hand I want it to flower now so I can get it finished before the worse of the weather comes.

British weather is very hit and miss at the moment, but my plant seems to be enjoying it.

Yes i'll probably end up with it indoors later on thats why i've resisted putting it in the ground.i just hope we have a freak year(i remember a few years ago it was still hot in december). Anyway i'm hoping the forecasters have it right and we get a scorching august.

dmcefc

07-29-2009, 09:20 PM

Ok no pics because my plant hasnt changed much since last photo because the weather has been terrible lately , thick cloud cover and hour on ,hour off heavy rain.

I found a few leaves rolled up like joints the other day couldnt really open them with my fingers so i grabbed a knife to prise them apart,the culprit was a cattepillar who came scurrying out trying to escape so i threw him in water ,I went out a couple of hours later and he was still alive on top of the water , so i spared his life (gimme some good kharma).

Pics as soon as this damn British weather picks up.

i hope you put him a million miles away from your plant,cos once it buds up,the caterpiller wont eat the leaves my friend!!!

THC laden catepillars, theres an idea. lol

bit of a accident today , I put a board of wood(windbreaker) by my plant because the wind was bending it a bit too much but when I checked on it the board had fell over taking my lowest side branch with it ,I thought about taping it up but it was literally hanging by a thread so I luckily had some rooting powder and put it into a pot with a plastic bottle on top. I could of binned it but what the hell.

dmcefc

08-07-2009, 05:02 PM

Well the hot weather is back FOR NOW.

My plant is bushing out a lot more height growth seems to of slowed (due to poor weather I think), still no sign of balls or hairs , I had a snail attack a couple of nights ago but not too much damage luckily.

these latest pics include my emergency job clone from last week and if anyone knows what caused these perforated marks on some new leaves I would be grateful (bugs me thinks).

Good Growin All.

08-11-2009, 09:05 PM

take a closer pic of the branches where they come off the main stock so right in that crocth but closer to the top of the plant , males usually show nuts by 13 or 14 weeks of growing how long have you had it growing ?? it looks female to me i think i see a hair but i need closer pics, like an inch or two closer with your camera in those last pictures and we might be able to tell you what it is but im not 100% sure but just try and take abunch of pics and get one thats focused so its better for us to see please and thank you man

dmcefc

08-12-2009, 08:59 PM

thanks for the help dackman these pics are no better but the first is the best shot of a preflower I could get on my phone (why is it when the camera clicks its perfect on the viewfinder then comes through blurred after processing) does anyone know what distance you hold the camera on macro setting?.

I'm a bit worried about the lowest fan leaves are yellowing and drooping, is this normal going into flowering?

thanks all.

(Oh this has been growing since March but I only had noticable growth in June/July)

dmcefc

08-15-2009, 11:50 AM

(I'm a bit worried about the lowest fan leaves are yellowing and drooping, is this normal going into flowering?)

Problem solved I watered my plant well last night and there is a noticable improvement this morning with the fan leaves pointing out rather than down.

dmcefc

08-20-2009, 10:15 PM

When will this end (Begin), after my watering problem she has started shooting up again (please forgive me plant) ,this plant is sucking up a lot a water now and my 3 gallon pot may not be adequate but it'll have to do .

Been a bit windy this week and my heart has stopped a few times when I've found things fallen on my plant (Advice-only use well secured windbreakers because if they fall over you'll be sorry) It's hard though when you see the top of your plant nearly bending in half, but these things are tough and can usually cope, and I've got away with just a little bending.

my cutting is going well under extra light after dark.

New pic is my girl in her new home , how long until she outgrows this one?.

Hopefully a better update when I have the good news.

Re pot it to a igger pot and water it when its med dry. Make sure there is a lot of drainage in the pot. The will out grow there pots fast.:D

LetsSeeYa

08-21-2009, 03:12 PM

Re pot your plant man. It is root bound, thats why its dieing. I grow in pots and needed to re pot one plant four times. What you see growing is 50%, the other 50% is in the pot. The equal each other out. Thats why your plant will die!:( It needs air for it to grow. If ya dont re pot its dead.:wtf:

dmcefc

08-21-2009, 04:25 PM

thanks for the advice LetsSeeYa and I will be repotting later , I've got a large bucket which I'm going to drill a few holes in which should do the job,

Anyone got any quick advice on how to get a 4 ft plant safely out of it's old pot and into it's new home.

dmcefc

08-21-2009, 06:25 PM

Ok so the deed is done , I've roughed up my girl , I don't know if it will be as stressful for her as it was for me.

Will my plant show any stress because of it's re-potting ?.

this bucket must be about 6 gallons so hopefully it should be ok now ,I couldnt get much soil down the sides of the bucket when I put my plant into it so I had to be quite rough pushing down , I also disturbed the roots by scraping the roots with my fingers to get them to grow into new soil.

New pics are clone from last week , new clone from broken branch while re-potting(black pot) , size comparison from new to old (any thoughts?) , and my plant after the ordeal.

Thanks LetsSeeYA your advice was spot on I could'nt actually see any soil when I pulled my plant (I should of realised when roots started coming through the top).

DOUGAL25

08-21-2009, 07:27 PM

Will my plant show any stress because of it's re-potting ?.

It probably will be stressed out for 1-3 days after the transplant, especially if you were futzing with the root mass that much.

To deal w/ stress, giving it some superthrive is recommended (1/4 tsp/gal. for dealing with acute stress) - it's a cheap vitamin supplement. ($5 bux + free shipping on ebay)

Good luck on your clone! I'll be watching to see how it turns out!

:stoned:

Thanks DOUGAL25 for the tip ,

my first clone that I did is already growing well so I hope the other one does the same , I've got them outside then I bring them in under lighting for a couple of hours to hold off flowering , then I'll let them get to the height I want and then let them flower in my window indoors over the winter.

The problem with my main plant was that the top of the old pot was roughly the same as the new one so once it was in place I couldn't get soil down the side's and I could feel a void so I just had to force the soil down ,I know I have done some damage to the outer roots, will this be a problem?

Thanks again for everyone's input , much appreciated.

dmcefc

08-23-2009, 01:29 PM

Ok so I've started covering my plant from about 7 pm until 9pm when it is dark , the only problem is my plant is too big to cover so I've got to cover my greenhouse , I'm using old sheets which is a pain because I've got to use a lot of them (what must my neighbours be thinking).

No visible shock from re-potting but I'm not happy with drainage so I've had to spike the soil with a metal rod.

Promise my next post will be in flower.

dmcefc

09-10-2009, 02:03 PM

Well technically I am in flower but there not big obvious white hairs like you see in flowering pics, just a few tiny hairs appearing and plant growth seems to of slowed down and getting a little bit more of a smell from her. no pics my macro shots are not good enough.

I'm not happy next doors conifers are as big as their house and are depriving my plant of about 2 hours direct sunlight, my grow gets shaded from around 2pm. (any tips on how to kill these miserable things) lol (no I'm serious).

Pics are my plant tied over and my first clone which is going well.(I actually noticed a hair on my clone first and I'm not covering this up, Is this normal for a clone to flower before a mother even though its getting more light?).

Other clones are growing but not expecting much from them , I'm wondering if I can keep clones going till next summer in my mini growbox/modified fishtank?.

Hope this excellent weather keeps up though it is chilly of the night time.

Good Growin All.

hello and more stressful news that I didn't need , it appears that my next door neighbours daughter has been talking about my plant on facebook , now i'm not worried too much about police but if she's talking about it on facebook that means all her friends know, and all the friends of her friends know,
its my own fault but I only had one spot in my garden and she obviously spotted it, and I've still got ages to go ,
I'm just gonna sit tight and hope for the best

was going to run out and take some photo's but remembered I covered her up half an hour ago , here a couple I took on the 23rd ,

Overcast days do my head in ,I was wondering if to stop covering my girl now that she's in flower or give it a little longer, also with the night's getting colder I was going to put hot water in bottles to keep temp's up , any thoughts advice please.

xgr33nthumbx my plant is (looking in my diary) 8 months old tomorrow , I planted the seedling into a pot on the 25th Feb.

Now I have three dates for flowering but seeing as though I don't know the strain it dosen't matter that much...but,

33 days since I started covering her up a 7pm,

20 days since I changed to 6pm,

15 days since I noticed first pistils,

but I think the weather will determine harvest time.

Just starting to get crystals on the buds and leaves, found a couple of yellow ladybirds/bugs on my plant(bonus), but slugs are becomming more of a problem seeking warmth in my shelter.

Does anyone get that random paranoia when growing , I have some weeks were I'm easy about it but sometimes I'm awake until about 4am doing a nightwatch thinking someone's going to rip me .

I told a few people when I started out thinking not much would come of my grow and that lays the seed of doubt in my mind, but next year I'm telling nobody.

Yes mate , I first started emailing every pic individually then realised I can just transfer them using pc suite , click on store images , let it scan your phone ,click on store now when scan is finished ,choose pc destination folder if you haven't already.jobs a goodun.

Only prob with my phone at the moment is my battery lasts about half an hour when I'm using it for anything and I noticed it's started bulging out (like the battery is corroded), now the N95 battery is a joke on a good day but this is ridiculous I take 3 pics and its duh,duh,duh (low battery alert lol), so I'm looking for a new battery off ebay . (I love my N95 though it's the best piece of technology I've ever had especially if you hack it).

Off to bed after my last joint of green ,I think I'm on the damn soapbar after that , green has got so expensive 2-3 joints for £10, but my de^l^rs got none anyway.

looking good bro, the worst thing i find in the uk is problems with mold esp this time of year with the damp nights, just had to lop 2ft of the top of my plant because of mold, hopefully you will be ok, best of luck mate, a good grow so far:thumbsup:

soz to hear about the mold problem , and yes I think this will become more of a problem for me when (if) my buds get bigger because I have them in a DIY greenhouse and theres a lot of moisture on the plastic sheeting ,so I try and take the cover off as often as possible.

Just got a nice old style jeweller's loop from my nan , it was my grandad's who died last year, It is foldable and I don't know the magnification but I just had a look at my plant and it works fine (tricomes look cloudy), when I think my plant is ready I will cut a piece off and look at it inside under better lighting.

Other pic is my clone which I did start to cover but hasn't started to flower yet.

I'm anywhere between 46-28 days into flower (46 being when I started to cover)-(28 being first show of pistils) and I noticed some amber trichs (mostly cloudy)but my buds are nowhere near finished , I'm just wondering if thats all I'm going to get , Any thoughts or am I just having the mid flower wobble.lol.

I grew a sativa my first grow. not the easiest to deal with, especially as it takes 4eva! Seriously, you would do well to keep her going she defo has more to give.

I never grew outdoors! The weather is getting to a point where you wanna bring her indoors, NOW. Even finishing her on a cheap clf(or cfl I can't remember?!) lightbulb (remember red spectrum!) would be better for her. At least that way you can have some control over temp, damp etc. Temp especially cause before you know it there will be frost and your plants bud developement will really suffer! Cause she will be repairing herself from any damage from frost so not all her strength will go into flower developement.

Do something about it now cause the smoke you can get offa a nice sativa is ACE! :thumbsup:

A note for next time a mate of mine grows in his backyard every now an then he says the key is to start as early as possible. Germinate, veg a little all indoors will it is still too cold, bring it out once it is safe at least that way you got some of the veg outta the way! But most of the time he buys auto flowering strains, like lowryder!

Hope this of help...
Good luck!

At least that way you can have some control over temp, damp etc. Temp especially cause before you know it there will be frost and your plants bud developement will really suffer! Cause she will be repairing herself from any damage from frost so not all her strength will go into flower developement.

Do something about it now cause the smoke you can get offa a nice sativa is ACE! :thumbsup:

A note for next time a mate of mine grows in his backyard every now an then he says the key is to start as early as possible. Germinate, veg a little all indoors will it is still too cold, bring it out once it is safe at least that way you got some of the veg outta the way! But most of the time he buys auto flowering strains, like lowryder!

Hope this of help...
Good luck!

I started in march so it's been a long grow ,I should of started force flowering my plant at least a month earlier , I dread to think what my plant would of still been in veg if I hadn't started covering her.

I have my plant in a DIY greenhouse so it has a bit of protection from rain and frost.

Thanks for your advice (very helpful).

i'm no expert but from experience i have found that when alot of the fan leaves have turned yellow thats when the plant has drawn all of it's reserves from the fan leaves to feed the buds and thats about as far as it will go,i wouldn't chop yours just yet hopefully the buds will bulk up, might be worth posting a new thread to see what the experts say. i started to cover my plant about 3 months ago to force it into flower as it was getting to tall, i thought it was an indoor strain and was only going to be about 4FT tall ended up being just over 6ft, off to work now but i'll post you a pic of mine tonight.stay cool mate.

Thanks weedmaster ,

I was going to post in another section but I'm too lazy ,but if I need help I should look in the right place and not expect the experts to come to my thread helping some lowly bagseed outdoor grower ,lol

I agree my plant needs a lot longer and your tip of yellowing leaves is a good one because my plant is still very green , also not many red hairs.

I just don't see any clear trich's , just mostly cloudy.

Thanks again.

Lazy or just too stoned LOL. lowly bagseed outdoor grower:(i don't think so mate, you're doing a good job and learning plenty as you go along, it's good you got a grow going and haveing a go, Respect:thumbsup: this is my 4th year growing outdoors and i'm still learning, i help a mate with his indoor grow which i think is alot easier cos you can controll the enviroment not like us with all the shit weather we have to deal with. i'm still looking for a strain that suits me, i enjoyed doing the lowryder 2 being auto flowering perfect for the garden but ignore the 6 weeks from start to finish time in the garden it will be more like 100-120 days and only a very small yield, i averaged about 11grams a plant, might try early pearl next year or hollands hope.
don't want to highjack your thread so i'll post pics of my plant in any uk growers thread, if you want a look.
carry on the good work mate catch up with you soon:stoned:

hello friend,i had some bad mold issues with the cheese,but none on the clone or sativa(small buds).does your diy g/house have a cover/flap over the front?P.S.gettin BUZZED off some quick dry cheese,hehe nice!!

hello busybee , yes it is wrapped round the sides with plastic and then it's got another sheet of plastic over the top which I can then remove(all held together with lot's of tape),at the back is a fence panel half way up so I get good air circulation from there but I had some polystyrine wallpaper rolls (for taking bumps out of walls) so I've covered the inside at the back in this for insulation,It's a bit flimsy because I knocked it together in half an hour and I'm a bit worried when the winds start picking up that it could collapse.

I've stopped force flowering my plant now , it dosen't seem worth it as it goes dark at about 6:30-7pm.

The best I can do at the moment is CHEESE on toast,lol , sick of handing money over to my d£$ler.

Just a quick update and she's starting to bulk up a little now ,getting some good sunshine ,I can almost see the finishing line.

Bit worried about the smell , i had a good sniff and still not much odour but I got a slight fishy smell (weird, but It could just be my imagination) , of course I have googled a hundred different phrases for fishy smelling weed,lol.

Hey man, they look great! i was wondering in pic 4, is that a result of damn good LST? or is that multiple plants.

Also, my plants just started flowering a few days ago, how much did yours grow after you started them on 12/12?

Either way, for bagseed they look amazing :) good luck :rastasmoke:

It was unplanned LST , my plant outgrew it space so I had to tie it over just before flowering,(the top of my plant is in the top left of that photo),

I started covering my plant at 7pm on the 23rd august ,
then changed to 6pm two weeks later on the 5th september (because nothing seemed to be happening),
I noticed white hairs nearly a week later on 10th september.(I am now 54 days in to flower)

so to cut a long story short roughly 2 to 3 weeks but every strain is different so it could be anything in that range for you, my clone which I didn't force flower got it's first white hairs last week.

Keep me updated on your grow and I'd be happy to help you if I can.

i cant be too sure just yet, they were just some dank bagseed i had collected over some time. I started them in early september (i know so late :( ) I have a log with pics of them a couple threads down if you wanna see them.

They're only about 12-20" Tall atm, and just now started flowering (white pistils are just now starting to show).

I have them underneath a tent for now, winter temps arent really a concern here in south FLA, so i expect them to finish by late dec, early jan.

This is just a temporary project i decided to put together, eventually im going to put some $ together and get an indoor setup going with premium seeds :) , so i want to find out as much as i can about maximizing my plants ability before my next grow. just as well as getting everything right the first time, but so far so good, i started with 9 sprouts, 3 males 6 girls, so thats a good thing i suppose.

Btw, is that a labrador? she looks so cute :cool:

10-15-2009, 10:54 PM

Lol you've got a good eye ,I was told it is cross between a labrador and a staff , its just like a staff but with longer legs and it is clumsy like a labrador.

Here's two pics to show growth since I noticed flowering ,one is around the date I noticed white hairs and the other is what it looks like now.

I'm going to check your thread out.

Do you reckon you'll get much yield from your sativa busybee?. I 'm wondering if my buds will fatten up much more or if lack of sunlight will limit the amount I will get, its warm but overcast 90% of the time.

Nice 1 weedmaster , I don't think I could stomach your recipe ,Did you invent it or have you heard other people trying that?.

I thought the weather has been quite mild ,not much sun coming through the clouds but warm night's,just hoping I get a good spurt of growth in the next few week's. My leaves have started to yellow a bit but trich's are all cloudy and hairs are still white,been in flower for roughly 62 days,my target is mid November.

I smoked a bit of my bud it is not harsh to smoke but I get this weird warm feeling that start's off in the back of my mouth and then works it's way down to my stomach ,it's not a nice feeling kinda like heart burn ,could this be because I have not started the flush yet ?,it wasn't fully dry either,anyone else had this happen?.

Good Growin All.

your girl is looking really good:thumbsup:
the heartburn symptons your experienceing could be because it hasn't been flushed, but i've never experienced that before even when i've had to chop the odd branch whilst still feeding nutes, sorry i'm not much help.:(
my mate allways makes weed milk with his trimmings thats why i thought i'd give it a go, if you do decide to give it a go use full fat milk, as the thc needs the oil in the fat to cling to:D

Hello Growers ,weather has been unusually good lately ,we had a short cold spell last week that slowed my plants growth but the warm weather we are having has brought on another spurt of growth, I'm getting really confused about when to harvest my plant (please help).

The trichomes on my plant look cloudy but when I dried a sample the trichomes changed to clear with a few amber or yellow ,I would be grateful if anyone will give me advice on when to harvest from the pictures, she has been flowering for 10 weeks today.

Many Thanks.

11-01-2009, 08:22 PM

Thanks Letseeya,

I cut her at 5am Sunday morning ,I was lying in bed and couldn't sleep so had a brainwave so I was in my back garden in the P'ing down rain chopping my plant, I only finished trimmimg and hanging at about 4pm and I still haven't slept since Friday night (man I feel like I'm trippin).

Not much bud she was very leafy but sticky so I should get some decent hash from the fine trim , so I'm down to 3 clones from the dearly departed , the biggest clone I should get a good yield if I let her go longer and the other two aren't worth much in fact I thought they were dead then they suddenly started flowering but they're only 6-7 inches tall.

Pics when I've recovered.

P.s. I've smoked a bit that I chopped last week and it is definetely having an effect, like a 10-20 minute head high and then couch lock , I've also thought I was hallucinating a bit (but that could be lack of sleep,lol) ,nice smoke even though it was dried in a week ,my taste buds are all f'd up from smokin too much but I get a strong lemon taste ,different effect overall from what I'm used to , I think my de@#er must get hold of indica's mainly ,funny though I had a conversation with him and he didn't have a clue about anything to do with strains,growing,etc. (I'm rambling so am ending this post and going to bed).

Dried pretty fast as the buds are real airy ,maybe an extra day or two but I'm just going to open jars a bit more often ,other pics are my clone which has more room now and should flourish ,I reckon I might get better bud from this plant as it had less veg time (weather permitting),and my other two 'one joint' clones.

On sunday night I decided to do a good joint before bed and I had a blunt skin so filled it with green which probably was enough but I remembered I had a ball of resin from my scissors by which time it had started to crystalize , so not realising how powerful this stuff is I crumbled it in. Smoked it and all was ok until about 5 minutes after getting into bed when I started to feel my head spinning and coloured lights flashing ,I could feel the blood rushing through my body and felt like I was going to stop breathing ,so I'd been awake for nearly 40 hrs already and was knackered but had to get up for another hour until I calmed down, (Ahhhhh geat days.)

Thanks for the warning on the curing stage ,I did only dry for 4 days but everything seems ok for now but I'll keep a close eye on it for mould ,did you notice a big smell difference when you started curing ?,my bud has got sort of menthol smell since I jarred it ,it takes your breath away when I smell in the jar when I open it.

Still on the look-out for a good UK strain for next year if anyone's got any advice , I was leaning towards White Rhino, if anyone's had any experience with it let me know.

Looks alot like the Skunk Haze I grew, Not That I think that it is that! It looks very hazey to me and the high sounds about right real mind blowin sh*t. It was actually a bit too much for me first grow I was gagging for something a little weaker as me an my girl were gettin real fu**ed up. LOL! :stoned: Looks nice you should save a nice cheeky amount for xmas day an jus' blaze away.

Still on the look-out for a good UK strain for next year if anyone's got any advice , I was leaning towards White Rhino, if anyone's had any experience with it let me know.

as for this, Me an a mate were livin together before, an he grew some white Rhino. Real nice stuff, good high, good yeild and from what I could tell not too complicated to grow. Although I should mention the fact that said friend is getting quiet adept to growing his own now. Reads everything an soaks it up like a big yellow squarepants spunge! But he didn't seem to have to do too much for the plants to grow nice an strong. Did I mention the smoke. Beautiful. well worth gettin a hold of it. One of his plants went hermie he managed to sort it out so no cross pollenation occured but gots some of the seeeds will be tryin to grow that one day. But for now I've just germed Blue Cheese from big buddha.

mentioned that cause your lookin for a good UK strain Try get a hold of CHEESE man. All us UK growers should be carrying the torch for cheese!

Anywho, looks great glad it worked out an enjoy your very own personal smoke...:jointsmile:

It should be cured perfect for you ,I noticed a big difference in the bud that had cured for a month , I've still got my two small clones inside under lights but not much space , I'm wondering if I can keep them going until next year ,as they grow I'm thinking I can keep chopping and create more clone's (not sure if it's going to be too much hassle or possible).

See Ya later Mate.

it's good to cure for 6-8 weeks, not that i had much option,LOL :D

as long as the clones are still in veg state i don't see why you couldn't keep the clones going untill next year and then use them as a donar plant, but i've never tried so not much help to you,have a search or post a thread and ask, i'm sure someone will be able to give you some helpful info.:thumbsup:
catch up with soon mate:stoned:

behind the plastic it was hard to make it out ,luckily I live in an area where most keep to themselves and are pretty open minded , don't get me wrong it did get a bit hairy at times and paranoia did take hold but I tried my hardest once it got too big to keep my distance and not draw attention to it.

I would be reluctant to grow that large again on my property though.

hey hey guys!! long time again. lol, erm.. well i had a clone at my gdads and my brother lives closer to my gdad then me and he's a grower aswell, but he had a male! so i sed ok for his male to sex my clone... anyways now i just got sent all of my seeds! wow, i have around 400-600 seeds nolie! ill get a pic up soon as the missis gets back in, so next year im looking at doing them all!! all over my area, im guessing some will die and some will be male, and some will be female anyways i'll leave them todo what they do on there own, just plant them, then come back when harvest time is ready so no hotting the place up, also still looking what to buy for next year as i dont want bag seed nomore for home use ownly, (back yard)

anyways hows every1! i seen your pic dmc looking good mate, i see everyone cant wait untill next year!!!!! its gonna be a big one next year. well i'll check for any updates s00n, catch you guys l8a take it easy fam!:D:thumbsup::jointsmile:

wow thats gonna be a lot of work even if you leave them to just do their thing ,good luck with it (have you seen the vid on youtube, if you type in "outdoor grow op" you should get it ,the field of plants is amazing).

I'm smoking the last of my fine trim (its not bad) aswell as buying , smoking my compressed dry sift has made me feel a bit healthier by getting off the tobacco ,I also made this water hash with all the twigs and leaf (this is probably the best smoke I got from my grow , but not much of it) I got two lots from it(just drying my second run now), I let the trics settle then used a syringe to get rid of the water.

I gave my plant full respect and used every inch that I could lol,(i wish I had friends who grew on an industrial scale ,I'd happily dispose of their waste plant material)

My clones are barely alive I've had to put them in the loft in a biggish fshtank under lights but it get cold up there and I think moth grubs are attacking my plants. (it would be nice to carry on the genetics of this years grow next year ,but I'm not sure they'll make it).

Later Mates.

Alrite mate , soz I didn't answer the same question last time you asked but half way through my reply my pc switched off on me, I'll try and explain best I can but I only used stuff I had around the house (my mates call me Ray Mears because I make something out of nothing,lol).

1 or 2 big pans or buckets,
1 colander or sieve,
1 finer screen (one with black frame ,I just had this material lying round),
1 re-usable coffee filter,
1 syringe (I only had a small one, but this is not important because you can pour the water away if your careful),
You'll also need plenty of ice and freezing water,

Put ice and water into big pan then add your plant matter,

Give this a good stir and bashing breaking it up as much as you can for as
long as you want (the longer the better),

Then pour through the first colander and squeeze the plant matter as well as you can,

Pour the water through the next screen and then through the coffee filter,

Let the water settle in the jug ,you should notice a greyish layer forming on the bottom (leave for a while),

Now you can either pour off the water gradually (being careful not to disturb the hash on the bottom), or like me use a syringe until you get near the bottom them scrape out the hash and put on paper to dry.

It's basically the bubble method without bags ,

There is another method where you put plant matter into jars with water and keep shaking them every now and again ,you will get the same results but you have to scoop out the plant matter from the jar (I think there is a 3 part video on you tube if you type in "make hash without bubble bags" you should find it).

Soz if I've missed anything ,I've got to go

Later Friend's.

yes ,it reminds me of the times I've left "rocky(soapbar)" in my clothes when I've put them in the washer and this is what it looks like when it comes out ,because in the washing machine it gets rid of all the shit and leaves you with the best hash with a hint of soap powder.lol
