I feel like cartman waiting for the nintendo wii to come out (anyone who dosen't watch south park wont get that),
Pics are the best I can get of flowering so far, roughly 3 or 4 weeks in flower.
i know what you mean about cartman/wii.when i start my thread you'll see how similar our plants r,thank f*%k my others r nearly there!!
yeah my deal*rs just got back from a stag do in spain and his supply has f%$ked up so I'm even more impatient.Have you seen SP episode (Major Boobage) because I've got a cat, do you reckon it'll work.lolQuote:

Later Friend.
Wow the sun's out for a change , just a few more pic's.
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.
was not my plan,but may end up that way.i tried to start it last night,wrote a paragraph-cut a long story short i f*%ked up an lost it.do you use pc suite with ur N95,for pics???:jointsmile:Quote:

(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.
Good Growin.
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.Quote:

Other pic is my clone which I did start to cover but hasn't started to flower yet.
thats a great looking eye loupe:thumbsup:i can spend hours looking at my plant through the loupe it's like i'm in a differant world lol.:D
it's good you take the cover off as much as possible that moisture on the plastic will invite the mold to set in, you could cut holes in the plastic to help ventilate it:jointsmile:
keep up the good work mate, i'll be following your progress:thumbsup:
looking good cant say the same for my bag seeds i planted
:jointsmile:Quote:

I'm not that much of a techi but you should have a file somewhere in your pc with them Adobe files in it , so when you click on 'attachments'(the paper clip symbol) when posting a message choose that file to download from.Quote:

First pic is my clone 5 minutes before I maimed her and the rest are my main plant.
looking good,sorry to hear about your clone,i hope she's ok!!
Wow it was cold last night UKer's,
I'm just going to give my plant water from now on as the weather is getting very autumnal and we had a lawn frost last night ,so harvest could come at any time , even though I need a good month at least.
My clone is showing no drooping so far after I snapped her,
hey mate long time. i updated my page, your girls looking very nice! wealther is shite orrr what! raining/windy here, for next year im going to pay for my seeds myself so i know what im growing, indica strain next year! alot better than my sativa strain, my indica plant has alot better high! soo indica all the way.
catch up wid you soon! :jointsmile:
[quote=dmcefc]Wow it was cold last night UKer's,
I'm just going to give my plant water from now on as the weather is getting very autumnal and we had a lawn frost last night ,QUOTE]
you had a light frost, i take it you must be up north, down on the south coast we've had alot of rain over the last few days and definately a drop in temp at night but not cold enough for a frost yet thank god but the weather isn't good had to cut another branch off today because of mold, but luckily my buds have started to bulk nicely and looks like i'm not too far from harvest probally another 2 weeks. this weather doesn't help us out one bit:(
alrite weedmaster , soz to here about the rot ,
Yes I'm in the north-west and its just heavy cloud most of the time then it magically goes clear of the night which makes the temps drop even lower,
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'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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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:
yoo dmc ima let my page die now :) its done its job, i'll start a new one up in feb about my new grow! :D hahaha hope your girls finish by xmas! be very cold! but hey you get a xmas smoke :D
l8a on mate ill keep in touch!

C U later mate.:thumbsup:
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.Quote:

The best I can do at the moment is CHEESE on toast,lol , sick of handing money over to my d£$ler.
Later mate.
happy birthday mate,have a good one!!
Cheer's mate, getting stoned as we speak ,I'm not a big drinker so having a spliff and watching match with my mates.Quote:

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.
But whatever it's getting smoked anyway.
Oh and my clone started flowering a few days ago.
She's lookin good man, nice 'n healthy! She's still got some time on her tho, and she'll only reward ya!:thumbsup:
Hope it goes well. BTW hope ya had a good b'day with a good one of these! :jointsmile:
Nice 1 mate, weekend is a blur,Quote:

lookin good dmcefc!are you seeing trichomes yet?i'm not,but you are ahead of me cos you covered her up!!
Yes , I think if you zoom in on pics you can just about make them out , but they are all over the small leaves and buds. I don't see clear one's but they seem to start cloudy.Quote:

A few different shots today ,I'm boring you with top of buds ,as you can see they're fattening up now, oh and my new guard dog who may or may not be a help protecting my plant (real clumsy pup at the moment).
Good Growin All.
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),Quote:

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.
