Any reports, good or bad from last years attempts?
Yeah I'm interested too. I'm growing outdoors this year actually, first grow, im so shocked at how easy it is. I'm getting a Dslr in a week so i can start posting a few pics. My babies are 14 days old from seed and about 2/3 inches high, that fast or slow ?
I'll get a mini greenhouse on Friday for my balcony, should hide it from prying eyes.
Anyone else growing outside this year ?
Heres my grow diary
http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...ndow-grow.html
I lobed about 30 seeds into a germinator last week and they all sprouted ! usually you lose like 30% that don't so i got loads of tiny sprouts..... Going to giving some away to mates but i have a perfect place to grow at the end of my back garden it's south facing so looking at throwing a couple down there will stick the other few up in the attic which i have just converted should be fun!
I??m a first time grower, bought 5 feminised white widow seeds and started them off in small pots on my windowsill. I germinated all 5 in tissue paper in the hot press but only 2 grew out.
I transplanted them into larger pots and placed them into this cheapo mini-plastic greenhouse. I??m finding the growth rate slow enough so I added a slow release fertilizer pellet containing mostly nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. As they stand now (after topping the centre shoot) they??re 18? and 15?.
Unfortunately I didn??t keep track of any dates of germination, planting or when I put them outside so I dont really know where I'm at?
Nice Ronnie, are you vegging or flowering ?
Still in vegatative state but the plants don't seem to be growing that over fast.I suppose I'm happy enough with the overall development with height, stem thickness and side branching.I think topping has shocked the plants so their growth willl be stunted for a few days.
After harvesting the buds I was wondering will the plants live on for another crop next year?
Was researching this myself, it seems you could (don't know about outside) but many ppl suggest its not worth the effort to get the plant to re-veggitate. They are an annual plant, they make their seed n die :(
I might try to clone the plants and then do my best to keep the alive indoors over the winter.I suppose when it comes to flowering I just have to wait and let nature take its course.I'm not sure but from reading around I'll probably be looking at a Sept/Oct harvest and the plants have another 2 months to grow big.As a novice grower I find waiting for the result the hardest especially smoking that soap bar shit.
Thank god for the good sunny weather hope it keeps up for the rest of the summer to maximize the potential crop
ya the weather is great down south, the plants are lapping it up. had 1 of my plants the other day grew an inch in one day, incredible.
I stared 12/12 on Monday, porting them to our 2nd bathroom (100% light proof) come 20:30. hopefully i will see some small buds in about 2 weeks, they defiantly smell allot more planty then before. I plan to crop at end of august and cure over September.
Are you not covering them for 12/12 or you simply letting natural do its course ?
Fairplay Axlcinema an inch in one day-thats class
As you said I had planned on simply letting mother nature take its course but now that you mentioned it I could do 12/12.It never even occured to me but i've an old dis-used block boiler house its roughly the same size as my crappy plastic green house and it would most definitely facilitate the darkness required. I just wonder are my plants ready their 18" and 15".If you wouldn't mind checking out the photos I posted above and let me know what you think I'd appreciate it?
Well I'm only a first time grower myself here's my log: http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...ndow-grow.html
You can go 12/12 any time after 6 weeks veg really, I've read cases of ppl going 12/12 from germination but obviously the bigger the plant is the bigger the yields are. Mine are a little over a foot now, a bit higher then I'd like really, but I'm not complaining. I'm thinking you should start flowering, if you carry on vegging you run the risk of flowering into autumn, I'm no expert and you should probably ask around first but i don't trust our weather i just wouldn't want them to be sitting in a coldframe come September you know.
That??s a well put together log I wish I'd put more thought into things and kept a record from the start.
Flowering into autumn would be a disaster I'd end up with a lethal combination of mould, fungus and bad weather. Thats it I??m gonna go 12/12 from tonight on.
Just a thought but If you have to keep your plants under a foot for detection reasons why not attempt topping them? You get a smaller bushier more inconspicuous plant and allegedly more buds!win win situation really
That's true, I've only read a small bit on topping, ill need to study this if i'm going to make any chops though. Does it cause the plant stress ?
From what I've read it slows growth for a few days while the plant recovers but I can say from my experience it was a success I topped mine last week and I measured my plants last night and i've still gaining 2inches in height?(thier now 17" and 21").
They say topping is not recommended in the flowering stage so its probably too late for your babies.
I've started 12/12 last night so roll on flowering
Ok, the plants are growing at a seriously rapid rate now. Don't what to do, don't really want to top them esp in flowering.
I've been looking into bending, but I need a guide. Is really as simple as watering, and then pull the stem down with a string ?
I will get some photos up either today or Sunday. If they actually grow 2-3 times higher then when you started flowing, I'm expecting plants around 2-3' high.
God Help Me.
Anyone have any advice please ?
Hi Hi hows trix. Im a new member. I started my own gurilla grow for the first time. Iv planted 5 big bang and 5 nl5xhaze i put them straight in 10litre pots they are doing well. Iv been using baby bio for nutes every second water. If anyone has any advice. THANKS
I've moved to 12/12 for flowering in the last 4 or 5 days and my plants are yellow at the tips.From what I've read its normal for new growth to be lighter than the old, but if they grow out and stay this colour something is wrong.
Anyone any thoughts?
I believe so. Mine are getting yellower too. Still never got any pictures up last night I'll try again tonight. Wondering when we'll start seeing bud ?!
Nice one it'd be great to see some of your photos.I'm looking forward to seeing the start of a bud myself.
I share the same worry axlcinema with regards to eventual plant size.Mine are still growing very fast(both touching 2 feet now).I live in a terraced house with houses all around with medium sized back gardens with 6ft block walls dividing them.From upstairs in the house you get a perfect view of all the back gardens.I get on well with my neighbours.They are all older,retired and they all seem to be keen gardeners.So its only a matter of time before one of my neighbours ask what the two unusual looking massive plants that I give all the attention to are,in my otherwise barren garden!
Along to market real quick n fill out the space with some colour plants. Something to draw the eye, no ?
Yeah big time thats a nice idea pity i'm so broke ass.I'll try to get some sort of greenery and flowers.Something I can cut out of a hedge somewhere!
Welcome osama1bin
Ny pre-flowers Ronnie ?
Unfortunately I've had no joy
haven't been on to this forum in ages's, no one ever came about so i stopped coming on, doing an indoor grow myself, they are about 3 weeks away from flowering, was a late start. Getting the yellow leaves aswell but nothing to worry about from what i hear from others.
hey every1,
havnt been on here in a while.
does any1 growing in Ireland outdoors have any army helicopters flying near their grow area?
I have an ideal place in the middle of a big plantation of 10ft trees, and was thinking of running a ploythene plastic sheet between four of the trees on clear clothesline cable to hold it tight, just to keep rain off them.
would an army helicopter even be able to see them or the clear sheet?
Its rarely around. maybe at most once per week just flying past.
tink il b ok, though a little reassurance s always good lol:jointsmile:
Have no idea mate, might be a little late to start growing this year, but good luck if your gonna do it and keep us posted.
yea mate think im gona try it with around 8, not much to lose. and weathers meant to be decent so we'll see what happens.figure if i even get 7g a plant itl be cheaper than buying a couple o's and itll be better smoke than i buy thats for sure!
I've got my buds developing nicely-happy days.
Congratulations mate
nice plant there mate. I proceeded and threw up a quik polythene growhouse between trees using some twine and a few polythene sheets. its by no means a masterpiece but it keeps the rain at bay.
I went to attend to my little auto seedlings today and the tent if buzzing with flies.
Should I be worried about them or are they harmless?
ANY ideas how to keep the little buztards out?
cheers
How is your auto's doing? have some Cinnamon at home growing and waiting on my Lowryder 2 seeds so very curious on what i can expect.
hey mosh,
their only 9 days old now. going not too bad. Il keep you updated.Gettin the second set of leaves now.Im trying a few different auto flowering varieties, in soil, in around 5 litre pots. Not much to lose.
So far, all are growing the same.
Hows your cinnamon going?
is it the 'female seeds' brand?
Tried that before, nice weed and geat growth potental if conditions are right.
hey Derek, yeah its from femaleseeds.nl, got them in Red Star in Derry, coming along nicely (http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...m-i-doing.html), gonna do a scrog with them, so i hope it works out.
what varities of the auto did you get, was trying to get some dutchbreed seeds but for some reason my ip appartantly didnt make the credit cards country, very odd so ended up with lowryder2. since i'll be a few weeks behind you, you can give me tips :thumbsup: don't wanna ball's them up.

Too busy playing at being soldiers
hey mosh, had a quick look at your thread. everythings lookin great.
what went wrong first time?
just keep nice air supply and use proper nutrients. I used Hesi grow scedule.
though think im gna use a flood and drain table next under a 600w.
the auto strains im trying outdoors are:
royal queen x 4
dutch passion tundra x 4
lowryder#2 x ak47 x 5
lowryder#2 x 4
their all outdoors, under a tarpollan roof with some sides to keep heavy rain off(though there seems to be a lot of moisture inside in the mornings, might be a problem when budding, anyone have any ideas/solutions?)
il get pics when their 2 weeks old on monday. bit shit lookin now lol. just little seedlings.getting their second set of leaves.
Helicopter flew straight over at 1am and the paranoia kicked in lol. Though now I know they cant see it, either that or they know it would be a waste of their time to ever bother.
I plan to water without nutrients for 2.5 - 3 weeks, then using b cuzz nutrients.
Keep the updates coming on your 250w grow, and your autos.
i have been scouting out door locations for this year .found a nice one in the mountains. its among a nettle patch.to keep every one away...im going to transplant to it during the week.AS FOR NEUTS.. i find bio grow and bloom work well both in door and out..and they are easy to use...good seeds for irish climate are EARLY MISTY,SWISS MISS AND KC 33 XMASTER KUSH ... ADD SUPER BLOOM AT THE END OF AUGUST....happy GORILLA growing
hey fourkicks, are those autos your gonna transplant?
what strains?
is it possible to grow the strains you mentioned in your previous post outdoors without any cover/shelter?
I thought once September came and the weather starts getting very rainy that the buds would rot?
ive also read about tundra(something i shuda dun b4 buyin) :mad:
and a lot of people say the dont even fuckin autoflower!!
if they dont then Dutch Passion are false advertising and they can say bye bye to my custom :S4:
Some of the fan leaves on my plants have started turning yellow.I wonder do I need to feed them more nutrients or should I just leave them alone?
