im so proud ov the family u bin raising ur a proper family man.. Cn i b the god father.. ? Ow ur weekend sexc? X

You alright jungle. Havent checked in on your thread for a while but got to say your plants look real nice and healthy. Only thing i can say was when i fimmed i cut just where was reccomemded but i only have 2 tops. So i topped it but i didnt cut enough for a top but it turned out a top ! Could have been that i flowered soon after so it didnt have time to develop but that wouldnt happen in your case cos you gotta a while till flower i think :S

Anyway keep up the good work, will try chek in a bit more regularly in the future !

okay so i fimmed 7 of 9 of my plants and left the other 17 to do there thing (which at the moment are suffering frm the attack of the slugs so i NEED to get sum repellant!!) i duno if i dun it right but at the end of the day if i havent ill still end up with 2 tops, which i can then fim agen???(can i??):jointsmile:

cheers sticky left a comment for u on ur thread.

greenthumb gd to hear from ya man hows ur garden of green coming along?

busy cheers man have u got a grow up and going yet?

@ mrgreenthumb i know i am the real dappa family man, ye babe u can be da godfather if u want.. there waiting for you to come and visit, seeing as ur da godfather u shud be getting sum bud of the end:D:jointsmile: weekends been alrite cheers mate just seen the REAL family and that england game was shocking!!!! i did better with southampton on fifa lol 5-1 agenst arsenal in the league cup final yeyeye:jointsmile: ow wuz ur weekend?

charbud cheers man ye i think i myt dun it rong too lol ye i got a few months til flower so well see what happens, the worst that can happen is ill have 2 tops so im not too bovvad, hows work and tings?

i got a quick question i didnt feed them there nutes yesterday as it rained friday night and all day saturday and they looked pretty drooped from the watering, so i didnt wanna add more fluid to the soil, shall i...

a) wait til the soil drys out (probably tmo (tuesday)) and then feed them there nutes that were due on sunday, and from then on feed on tuesdays?

or

b) just water them through til next sunday and then feed them nutes on sunday, as not to break the weekly cycle?

I don't think adding nutes 2 days late would hurt, nor would leaving it till sunday. I would as a little less nutes on the tuesday as she misses two days or getting it, so little less than usual so she uses it up ready for sunday

tis gud 2 hear frm u dear.. Yea man wen i c u i bring sum presents 4 em.. Flower fertiliser.. U get ne piks ov u fimming em? I no dat england game woz wel poor.. We ent gna do it.. Lol u joka wif fifa.. u doin management mode?. Yea my weekend woz ok gt shity work 2moz wt bout u? anuv shit weatha day.. Put salt dwn amd get a slug stik it on a crucifix gowj its eyes out and stik it in front ov the otha plants.. Dat stop da cumts frm getin ur babys.. Leave em u dnt want 2 ova water em x

ah jungle sounds good where the pics man i wanna see how good your ladies are doing

i agree with charbud,give say 1/3rd less nutes tuesday,then carry on with sunday feeds!

well it rained today agen so i cant give them nutes agen so im just gunna wait til sunday...

i took couple pics today there duin alrite i spose...


i havent taken pics of my fimming but i fink i fucked it lol i can send u a link of da page dats got gud info

ye on management mode with southampton lol got work tmo init but its kl i love working so i dnt give a fuk

The only way to mess up a fim is to take too much, so that would be topped:thumbsup:.

Just go into the very top and cut only the new growth tips and leave the rest. So your going to end up with two mm size pieces of leaf tips.

Hope this helps as my first fim grew 7 tops and you could get more or less:thumbsup:

Good luck, i think you will like the method:rasta:

cheers letsseeya i dont think i chopped enough off....

also is there a way of measuring how much sunlight a certain area of land gets per day? is there an instrument u can leave out?:jointsmile:

Get a big bag of weed and go and sit at your grow site.

I like to squash a few bugs on the plant and if any more come wandering bye they might think twice about making it their home.

Man ya really don't need the 12 hours a day everyone will say, thats all about indoor. I grew a plant 4' in a gallon milk jug in the shade till about 6, so it got about 2 direct light. But, of course the more the better. Its a good idea to go out and check out the seen. When you get there just mark where the sun is at the time with a stick in the ground. Then go out at 6pm and you will have a idea where things are. Mark this with a stick, then the middle should be your best spot.

Good luck man:rasta:

A long time grower told me the one most important things is to get good holes and keep em for ever. So, if they do well make sure ya fill em next year too.

And your plants look good. They luv the rain man, just give em some time and in the next week il bet ya get 4-5'' of growth, measure em and tell me if im wrong:hippy:


:rasta:

cleared an area gunna go buy sum soil now and dig sum holes but the bigguns in them only got 3 that need to go in the ground at the mo...

worked out i think it gets bout 4-5 hours of sun but ill go back and check in a min but 4-5 shouldnt be a problem they might just get a bit lanky and not as big as i hoped

after the work i took sum pics ill upload em now....:thumbsup:

more :D.........:jointsmile:

first 2 pics are da skunk 1 (smallest in shot) and retard which has recovered amazingly from only having one leaf on its first two sets and from the frost


3rd shot is the 2 most feminly looking ones that i repotted and

the nest 2 shots are each of them :jointsmile:

and sum more:D:D:jointsmile:

just the skunk 1:jointsmile: (especially for busy:thumbsup::thumbsup:)

the leaves are quite indica looking i thought sk 1 was like 75% sativa?

This plant last year got 4 or less hours and turned out nice as you can see. No top, or fim used as you can tell, nice cola tho, with a few lower good ones too. After they are in the ground awhile you will not believe the bud growth even without the direct sun. They will build good bud, just not get as tall:hippy:i put my cigs on it for size, if you want to see one that only had about 2 hours of direct light at sun set, let me know il post the 2 of them.

Try an get em in the ground asap, to get their roots to spread out now, so nature will fill them up later:D

:rasta:

If that is ferts ya got laying on top the soil id get rid of it, it will just burn em up. But, when ya plant, dig about 5'' to deep add a bit of unmixed ferts and then the rain will fert the soil for you. So, the roots will grow into it and bang your going to see big time growth:thumbsup:

ye dat plant looks nice ok u just officially re kindled my hope of an at least average harvest my new guestimate of sunlight after just checking its still there i rekun they gt another 1h and half in the sun today so that goes from about 1130am-430pm to be safe so thats 5hrs of the hottest sun as its middle of the day so im happy agen:D:jointsmile:

nice one for the info ill get them in the ground asap more holes lol ill waiit til they get bout 2 footers in the pots so they get good rootball then ill transfer to the ground what u rekun is good spacing for plants my area is roughly 2m by 5 i rekun i can get em all in there cuz after ill have to weed the males out anyway which will give more space....

fuk it lets just go with it and see what happens as long as i leave like 3ft in between them theyll be fine wont they?

right off to bye sum soil and a sprayer bottle KILL THE CRITTERS i jst dnt want anything eating my side branching lol will spraying soapy water on during flower affect the finished product?

check out my pics^^^^^ :D feedback would be great :D:jointsmile::thumbsup:

there slug repellers :thumbsup: i dug down bout half a foot below where the bottom of the rootball is gunna finish im gunna add good soil and then unmixed ferts? i was gunna mix sum up and then water that soil with it?:jointsmile:

You shouldnt need any bug protection in bud as after the get to about 3feet the bugs arnt your issue, its bigger animals. Here we got deer, rabits and woodchucks. Ya got deer there? im clueless, lol.

Sure you can do that, im not sure how the soil is where your growing, but if its ok id just skip the soil, cuz in a couple weeks it should have grown through it and into the soil thats around the soil you plan to add. A 20 year grower told me about sprinkling the ferts below the roots for them to grow into after there roots begin to explore the ground. He grows 10-15 footers too, so i did a couple this way and a few my way to see what happens:) Il be posting whats happening with them.

:rasta:

jungle my man they look great good job cant wait to see all of them all budded out :thumbsup::thumbsup::jointsmile:

Hi jungle ,hows things going.

I used to work for a firm that made them very same flags (pure back breaking work),they had a good technique of laying on a sand cement mix levelled off, then pour a watery brick mix between the gaps.(easy). I've been watchin my next door neighbour doing his garden for 2 weeks(I could of done it in 2 days). He was using a small angle grinder with a huge blade to cut the flags.lol.(damn cement dust all over my girls).

Good Growin Mate.:thumbsup:
