First time grow - Greenhouse - Need some help

I ended up getting about 40 grams of really good bud and then a good bit more of mids. I would of had a much greater yield but I made a number of mistakes.
Firstly the pots I used were much to small for the height the girls eventualy grew too. This led to them becoming root bound and resulting nutrient problems. As well as that my green house was too small for the 3 girls and a lot of the buds didn't get enough light to fully develop.

Finally one of the girls ended up getting powdery mildew which I thought at first was THC crystals lol! So I didn't get much from that at all.

All in all I got 40grams from one girl and am hoping to make some good bubble hash from the other girl!

Best of luck.

Oh and click new thread on the top left corner of the page on a thread list page!

thanks for the up dated page irishsniper i will be looking forward to your
next grow pic's. Id say it will be bumper now that you have the experience.;)

Not bad outdoor grow for your first time my man i will look forward to your next crop. Been thinking about doing a outdoor one for a while now after seen a few on the forum. So with a bit of luck il get one going this summer.;)

Were did you get the seeds mate if you dont mind me asking? And how much too?

Sorry for the late reply. I got them in Nirvana on Capel St. before it was burnt down! They are relocated to the south-side now. It were about â?¬40 for 5 feminised seeds. I have started getting more seeds now for this year, I'll keep updating this topic with the progress!

Heres a pic of my overall yeild as well as some nice ice hash I made from the trim! Strong stuff!

Thanks Irish sniper great info . Ihave bought a 6' X 6' greenhouse myself. Not soley for weed. Will but a few tomatoes and other fruit in it also. I have two questions myself as a first time grower. First at what age can you spot the males. Second how important Is light / darkness ratio. I would like to germinate my seeds straight away. So in theory I could be budding in June/ July where you only have maybe 8/ 9 hrs darkness. It's not practical to cover the greenhouse like sniper did. Any one any suggestions or do I need to do anything at all. All advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

this last one is handy for any1 in the world to know the day light hours

september the 1st is when we in ireland get 13.5 hours of light this is when alot of plants start to flower.
and they will be ready end of october if they have a 8 week flowering time
so thats what ya really want in a plant here.
they wouldnt start budding in june july with 8/9 hours of dark as they will have 16/17 hours of light.
you would have to cover them to get that to happen in july

any more questions fire away:hippy:

Hi Spamsandwich,
I just started germinating my seeds today, this year I am growing Low Ryder #2, Northern Light x Big Bud, AMS, Big Bud and Church.

For the first time I would recommend you choose feminised seeds, then you won't have the trouble of trying to identify the males and you won't be wasting valuable space in your greenhouse growing males!

In regards to flowering time, you won't need to cover your greenhouse. Last year I grew super lemon haze which has a very long flowering period, usually ending around November. I wanted to make sure it finished before the bad weather and frost set in to try and prevent mold. With the aid of the covering I was able to get the 3 girls to finish about the 3 week in October and I could harvest and dry them perfectly! If you want to make sure they finish pick a more indica dominant strain or possibly an autoflowering strain.

Best of luck with your grow, its definatly worthwhile!

what kind of greenhouse and how did you cover it , any pics? to get super lemon haze done is inspirational , was looking at a haze stain sshxmango, that can do well with the right pheno. have you tried the bigbug and ams before? ams has a rep for being mold prone.

Cheers loststix and irish sniper,
I have already bought seeds off the net. Probably did not do enough reserch, I bought an "outdoor premium mix", "White Widow, plus Indica and sativa hybrids." They have arrived today and are not individually labled ( also mixed gender). I am working over the weekend and intend to start germinate on monday. Lads should I go ahead with these or go for an easier option for a first time grower.
