Good job Scobbie.
That is a very good result Scobbie :)
I would be very happy with that ;) I honestly can't say what the weight is of my average harvest because I never bother weighing them, also it does vary from grow to grow, it's all very inconsistent :o .
The last grow was very poor quantity wise, the one before that was kinda average and have have the feeling that this one is going to be nothing to shout about.
Well out of sixteen seeds, three failed to germinate and three are just "no how" they will end up being thrown away because they are just refusing to grow right, so that leaves me with ten and by the time the boys have been sorted I'll probably have five or six girls.
However this is just a kinda "stop gap" grow, I'll put more effort into the next one which will be a Spring grow, they usually turn out the best grows because the tempreture is better for the plants ;)
Anyway Scobbie I think that you have done very very well with the Widows :)
love mand xxx :)
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: new grow lookin good mand ,do another journal i learned a lot with your other one keep teaching your flock take care pal :thumbsup: :stoned: :D :D :dance: :thumbsup:
Hi Mand! Sorry I haven't been in touch lately. Mother board on the ol' technological wonder took a crap. Am using a backup right now. Old Dell 266. Wicked slow compared to the other but at least it allows me to do a few things. Send me an e-mail if ya want as I lost all addresses when Momma went away.
New grow looks good and isn't it true that you've been 'threatening' to do a smaller number grow and really let them go the distance instead of hacking them down too early like you say you always do? I think you'd be hooked with the results and it sounds as if you've got plenty to last you till this new grow matures and the trichs turns nice and cloudy/amber! Don't ya just love me? :dance:
Hello Scobbie :) You know after I posted the last pics I thought to myself "what am I doing, I said I wasn't going to do another journal for quite a while".
I'm affraid it's with being off work this last few days, I have too much time on my hands, so whenever I have a coffee I usually just log on here for a while and then I end up posting stuff :o
Now the problem is I am back at work for a few hours tomorrow but I feel really "run down" I think I have a touch of flu coming on :(
It would be just so nice to have the rest of the week off and curl up on the sofa with a hot water bottle and just watch a few of the old "weepy films" :)
Ah well such is life :rolleyes: ;)
Hello Marc :) well Marc it didn't snow for Christmas day :( but it did a few days afterwards ...................... blimey Marc I forgot how cold and wet the stuff really is :eek:
Hey what do reckon, there's just no suiting me is there :o :)
As for this grow love, it really is just a little thing to keep the "stash" stocked up ;) I want it "done and dusted" for the end of March/ begining of April ..............it really isn't the most ideal tempreture in my (state of the art ;) ) growroom this time of year.
I'm going to see how it goes and I think I'll induce flowering whilst they are still small and I may give "pinching" them a miss as well.
Just a very simple little grow ....................... I hope :o
Well Marc I'm off to my bed now, I really am starting to feel quite achey and a bit on the hot side ................ Hmmm might get me a few days off work ;)
If it's ok with you love I'll send you my Addy tomorrow ;)
love mand xxx :)
Hope you feel better Mand.
Nice to see more of your grows... :)
So, the math is as follows: It took me from September to aprox. April for one crop. But you're doing TWO grows in the same time... ???? So much for the high-tech fancy stuff I've invested in...
Best wishes Mand,
-turtle420 :cool:
wow mand, thank you so much for posting that pic ^^^ now i know where to top plants at, THANKS!!! I'm a new growe but i plan on growing for years to come, thanks for helping me learn
nice to see you alive...Quote:

Hello Turtle :) Oh dear love I'm feeling worse :o mind you I'm not even going to try to go into work tomorrow I'm just aching all over :(
You know I hate being off and on the sick when I feel ill, it's much better to go on sick when you feel ok ;)
Tell you what though it got me out of cooking dinner tonight, my oldest son told me to go and put my feet up and he would see to it :eek:
Mind you his idea of "seeing to it" was to phone for a "take away" to be delivered :rolleyes:
Anyway don't worry about how long it takes on a grow, you will most probably produce more on the one grow than I do on the two ;)
Hello Josh :) I see you are on the 12/12 cycle love, that is probably the best thing given the height of you're plant, I'll definetely keep my fingers crossed for you that it's a girl.
What you want to do Josh is to use this grow as a learning experience, also keep looking and reading all the different grows on these boards, and I can promise that you will get better and better grows everytime ;)
It's good to hear from you Josh, the best of luck with you're plant :)
Hello Latewood, it's nice to see you :) ...................... you know I daren't tell Marc I have no idea what a "Mother Board" or a "Dell 266" is :o
Hmmmm I think that I will give Amsterdam a miss for now, have you ever been there at this time of year, it's absolutely freezing :o Anyway the other's wouldn't be intrested :(
Tell you what though love it's getting to be a real epic task trying to book an holiday. We all agreed on a little place in Lanzarote, couldn't get the dates.
We tried to book a few others online no luck so we're planning to go into town this weekend and let the travel agent sort it out.
This booking online really isn't as good has they make it out to be, there was one place and it said £129 each for seven nights, anyway we went through all the motions of getting it priced up and it was going to cost well over £300 each with all the extras :eek:
Anyway you dissappeared just long enough for a short spell in the "nick" are you sure you were just having a break from posting :confused: ................................... only kidding love, it's really super to see you back here :)
love mand xxx :)
Hello Mand I hope your feeling a lot better ;) I just got over a 2week old bad cold :( But hopefully it doesnt return. I hope you really do have a chance to book a vacation that would be a good start for the New Year :thumbsup: Just dont take it that long cause you'll be missed :( Only kidding have fun and hear from you soon. Oh yea by the way my grows doing really well and from what I see yours is looking :thumbsup:
Hello B :) well I've just dragged myself off the sofa to water the plants, post on you're thread and now I'm going to get back to being comfy again :) .................... I think I may make this flu thing last for a few more days yet ;) :)
love mand xxx :)
I am in the middle of having pink eye and the flu.So right now I am eating bananas foster and drinking lemongrass tea
~waves to mand's baby plants..hello babies~
Damn it is the season
Mand their so cute at that stage but then again I was saying hurry up grow faster grow faster :D :thumbsup:

Hello Starchild :) oh this flu thing has been a real nusiance, it's very rare that I am ill but this time it really has "knocked me down" :(
I'm affraid my remedy was to add a little more orange juice to my vodka .................... for the vitamin C ;)
Hello B :) How is you're grow progressing ? .................. I bet there filling you're growroom up ;)
Not to worry though B, you are doing a super job and I'm sure you will be looking at a very nice harvest :)
Hello Bonsaiguy :) Just the flu love, but I'm starting to feel a little better today. Still I think a few more days of work will be inorder, just to make sure I don't spread any germs around ;) :)
Well what can I say about the plants ?
They are growing but very slowly, however that is normal for growing this time of year, it's the cold :o
I was hoping to be switching to 12/12 in about three weeeks time but I think that maybe a little too ambitious ...................... I'll just have to wait and see what happens ;)
I was hoping to be saying "Bye all" for a while very soon and go on holiday with a couple of girls from work but I've had people looking for me to find any "late deals". However there aren't any, the companies seem to be selling them well enough at full price this time of year, so I think we are going to wait a little while and then see what available then.
A little confession :o ................... I wish that I was going on my own. The others are talking about going to bars, clubs and resturants, and that really isn't "my scene". I prefer a more "laid back" type of holiday, travel light, go cheap, hire a jeep and spend days on the out of the way beaches................ just relax and get away from the day to day humdrum at home ;)
love mand xxx :)
sorry i'm not complaining, but i thought you said you wern't gonna do a journal this time.
they look great!!
Hello D :) I know I did :o but I kinda got writting and then one thing lead to another ........................ Oh you know how it is :o
I really must stop because it was nothing but stress last time and if this lot goes all wrong then it will be double stress :eek:
love mand xxx :)
Mand dont stop :mad: Thats y know one mentioned it we all knew but we didnt want to run you off so dont leave :o keep writting. As for my grow its ok I just had the little hermie but hopefully I find out what to do with it. By the way what do you do with a Hermie do you ever consider keeping it or do you just throw it out no questions asked?
somebody kill dreadydrug!
mand....
i love you!
Hello Buk :) I know I usually just say B, but I've read others call you "Buk" and I think it sounds better ;)
I had no intention of doing record of this grow, I didn't want to do one :o
However have you ever known a woman who doesn't change her mind ;) :)
Also I try not to constrict myself with to many self impossed rules, I like to just "play thing's by ear" and see how they turn out ;)
If I was truely honest I could describe this grow has a total unmitigated disaster, beause to be honest 10 plants out of 16 seeds is not very good :o
Anyway I'm hoping to get to the market soon so I will have a little complain about the seeds and if I smile alot whilst complaining ........... who knows I might get some free ones ;)
Yes you're hermmie :( , well ignore what I said on you're thread and get rid of the dam thing. I was thinking about what I would do after I posted, and to be truthfull after having problems on my last grow with them, I would now "chuck it away" ;)
Plus Buk, you are a little tight for space so getting rid will be benifical to the rest of the girls :)
Hello BkSkillz :) Thankyou love, a great big love too you as well ........................... :)
Dreadydrug was right, he made me realise that I was doing something that I said I wouldn't :o .................. but will I take any notice of my realisation ...........I doubt it ;)
Thankyou guys ...................... love mand xxx :)
"I prefer a more "laid back" type of holiday, travel light, go cheap, hire a jeep and spend days on the out of the way beaches................ just relax and get away from the day to day humdrum at home"
Hey Mand! Fly over here! I've got a Jeep and some nice frozen beaches on the banks of the Mississippi River. We can go ice fishing and smoke Amanda till we're goofy! And I'll even make you a couple of those wicked cheesecakes!! Promise you a good time and a relaxed stay.
HI MAND!! :D
Hello Marc :) I tried to reply to you're post yesterday but ever time I at atempted too, I had nothing but interuptions.
A very kind offer Marc I might just hold you that sometime ;)
As for the moment the flights have been booked and we are going to Lanzarote next Wednesday. One of the girls from work knows some who knows someone else, who has a villa over there, so we have "acquired it" for the week :)
By the way Marc I thought I sent you my "addy" but I just been on my E mails and realised I didn't :o , I'll send it after this post ;)
An update on a grow that I'm not really doing a journal about :) ............Out of the ten plants there are two that are bellow the usual average condition, however they are growing.
Growth is also slow compared to Spring or Summer but that's "normal" for this time of year.
One of the packet of seeds is no good but due to the earlier mix up I don't know which one.
I was hoping to start flowering at the end of January/begining of Febuary but I think it may be a little later.
I'll add a few pics ;)
love mand xxx :)
hey mand , i see u r back at it again, lookin good. have u ever seen plant leafs that looked like this, white widow
Hi Mand, Thanks for the reply. Hope you have a great time on your vacation! Sounds like fun. :dance:
As far as your plants it looks like they're more than ready for the big transplant! Better go find a few piles of poop and get at 'er. :D Looking good as always. :thumbsup:
lookin good mand :thumbsup: what kind of lights you use again :thumbsup:
Hello Mobay :) those leaves look absolutely super love ;)
There babies that's how there supposed to look :)
You know I was reading you're Hydro grow journal amd I think that we are going to see a real "good un" :), I'm looking forward to reading you're update's :)
Hello Marc :) You shouldn't be spending time on here, you should be painting that deer ............................. ;) :)
I am ready for a bit of an holiday, but your's sounds more fun :)
Hmmm ice fishing, sounds intresting. My grandad once tried to teach me how to fly fish for salmon many many years ago. All I managed to do was get the line in a right old tangle :o
Oh the plants, I think I will have to re-pot them before I go away. Do you know when I go away, I have to still have to ring my lads to remind them to water them for me ................. Hmmmm Kids :rolleyes:
Hello Scobbie :) Can I just ask you a question ;)
Am I entitled to still wear a Tartan, because my Mother was full Scottish, but my Father was full English ?
My brothers say yes I am, but they would tell me anything :rolleyes:
I ask because I know you're from Scotland :)
The lights, I use a 400 watt MH for vegitive growth and HPS for flowering ................... the ballast can accomodate both bulbs ;)
Thanks guys....................... love mand xxx :)
yes you have the blood , you are intitled to were it with pride, enjoy the experience
thanks mand, go to the post TC WHERE ARE U
YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHH Mand :clap: :clap: I thats cool about ur vacation hope u have tons of fun ;) I need one of those really soon hopefully in like 2 months I can go to Vegas I never been over their and always wanted to go? Hey anyone know any hotspots? but anyway I love to see the grow and u got good with the camera :D I remember ur 1st pics u said u really didnt know how to use it and now ur a expert ;) ok mand talk to u soon :dance:
Hello Scobbie :) It's strange how I value my Scottish ancestory much more than my English one. I think it was because my Mum was such a strong willed woman. She really was an true example of a real Scots Lassie, Red hair and a temprement to go with it ;)
I'm affraid I only have one item of the family Tartan, my mothers shawl, and I only wear it on special occasions .................... Talking of which it's Burns Night on the day I get back from holiday, so I will be wearing it then :)
Hello Mobay :) , Well love I have only read "bits and pieces" about TC (affraid I have struggled to find time to vist here just lately), but is it certain he has been "conning" people ?.
That is such a shame love :(
Tell you what Mobay I used to make a living doing market stalls and I used to venture into the Antiques market a little, you know buying things as cheap as possible and selling for a profit. That buisness was full of people trying different "scams" to make a "few quid". However I never did, I "bought quality" and "sold quality" ..................... and in the long run I made more money through being honest than any of the "scammers" and I could sleep well at nights ;)
Have you ever heard the saying "what comes around goes around" ........ well it's true love ;) ................... if a person lives by "ripping off" others, then it will more than likely happen to them ;)
Hello Buk :) You know love I really like to read you're updates of you're grow love ...................... you seem so full of enthusiasim (don't think I spelled that right :o ) and you're grow reminds me so much of my own growing but I feel certain that you will definately produce much more than I ever could ...................... which is fabulous to see :)
Hmmmm Las Vegas :) , well I have talked to people who have been there and I don't think it's quite my "cup of tea", I'm kinda more the old fogie scene nowdays love ................. peace, quiet and a large Vodka ;)
Although I can have my moments :o ;)
Thankyou very much guys :) ............................love mand xxx :)
Hello :)
I might not have to much time to do another update for a while so I will just add a few pics now ;)
The ten remaining plants out of the sixteen seeds have been re-potted, some are looking ok and a few are looking "bellow average". I went to the market earlier today to buy some seeds for the next grow, I also had a good moan to the man on the stall about the failure of so many of the current grow.
I smiled a lot whilst complaining and he knocked off the price of the last seeds from the ones I bought today :)
I'm not going to let these plants grow to tall before inducing flowering and I don't think I will bother "pinching" them ethier, this is just a quick basic grow.
The next grow will be White Widows and I am going to try my upmost best to make that as good a grow as I am capable of doing :o
love mand xxx :)
White Widow... Mmm MMMMMM.... :)
That's what I'm growing :)
Your grows are great... simple, yet super effective.
The current plants, looking great mand :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-turtle420 :cool:
do you buy your seeds in the uk mand.
Hello Turtle :) Thankyou love :)
There are two or three of them I'm not all that happy with, they look a bit .................. well "not quite right" but we'll see how they go ;)
Hello Scobbie :) , yes I always buy them of the same chap at the Sunday market, he knows me quite well now ............. well I am a regular customer ;)
I actually was looking for some Durban Poision seeds but he didn't have any so I thought I would give the "widows" a try next time :)
love mand xxx :)
lookin good maND AND IM INTRESTED IN WHAT MARKET AS I WEOULD TRAVEL FOR THEM
Hello Scobbie :) Well there is Thoresby market in North Nottinghamshire and Castle Donnington market in Leicstershire. Both have one or two stalls that sell them. You can also find that alot of growshops will sell them as well.
For ordering online this is a good site ................ http://www.sensiseeds.com/ml/shop.asp?MainLev=0
Or try this one ............................. http://www.dutch-passion.nl/
Hope that is some help to you Scobbie :)
love mand xxx :)
thanks a lot mand yer a great help
Hey Mand,
Ya gotta feel pretty special with a thread that has the 2nd highest number of Views and the top number of Replies! Just think what would happen if you wrote a book! It'd be a best seller. Especially if you had photos of yourself with your shawl on as you were tending your crops as the grow progresses!! YEHAAA!!!! :dance: :thumbsup:
LOVE YA!! Marc
Hello Marc :) Special, not really Marc I reckon most of the replies are mine, I seem to have made an awful lot of them :o
I'm supposed to be doing a log of my growing but I'm affraid I do tend to wander "off track" now and again, if you notice most of my "wandering" tends to happen when it's the last thing at night here ............. hmmmm I wonder why that is ;) :stoned:
Well I can't really do an update because there isn't anything to tell you about :o . I can tell you that I'm really ready for a little break from homelife and work. I'm just looking out the window now and it's all grey skies, rain and cold, the main thing occupying my thoughts is in a few days time I'll hopefully be looking at blue skies, sunshine and a nice blue sea.
I'm still feeling a little "run down" from the cold/flu thingy I had last week, still don't feel as though I've recovered from it properly .............. I'm looking forward to a rest :)
Bye for now ............. love mand xxx :)
