Getting a little crowded in here

Hello :) .....................just a little follow up to he "Thankyou Guys" thread I did a while back.

They have just started budding now so I thought I would do a couple of little pictures of them. Affraid that they are a bit short on space though, I was going to move them to a bigger grow room and I had my son paint it all out for me. Problem the electric supply to it was a bit "kaphut" :( , so till I can get it rewired up they are just going to have to stay in there little home :rolleyes:

Anyway I'll see how they turn out ;)

love mand xxx :)

very nice, mand, very nice...look forward to more progress reports.latewood

WOW :)

You did this all on your own?????

Awesum work.

You're good!

You ought to post more and post more often.

Dam woman they look as good as you.

Nice job.

Curssezz!!

Outperformed by a woman again.

Must be some kinda pinko troll plot.

Yeah!

That's what it is.

Pesky pinkos.

You can tell because her plants are so symetrical.

Latewood, Harddon, Zandor and Rezinator.
I really appreciate you're very kind comments, Thankyou :)

I was a little unsure of posting any more photos but I did promise to in the link above, so I had to ;)

To be honest I just grow as simply and as cheaply as possible. I use my own compost, don't buy the shop stuff. I have a compost heap in a corner of the garden and I put lawn cuttings in it, any dead flowers and plants out of the garden, also any vegatable peelings and the such out of the kitchen, anything that will rot down easily, oh and when I walk the dogs if I come across any horse manure that usually comes home with me for the heap ;)
Then when I need some compost I just dig it out from the bottom of the heap and riddle it out, then it's ready for use.
As for seeds I usually try and scrounge a few from friends, but if that fails I buy Sensi seeds from a local market stall.

The lighting, I run a 400 watt metal halide bulb for 19 hours when on the vegative growth, when they look about right I pinch the tops and after about 4-5 days start inducing on a 12 hour day with a 400 watt high pressure sodium bulb, gradually reducing to around 11 hours by the time of harvesting.
Just a little sprinkling of grow room tempreture water once a day, sometimes I add a pinch of Phostrogen plant food to the water.
Then just harvest when I think they look ready, always dry the buds naturally but I do tend to force dry the leaves.
Thats it really :)

Once again Thankyou guys, you're comments have made posting very worthwhile :)

Let me get this straight...

When you walk your dog, you actually come across horse shit?

And you carry with you a baggie and scooper?

Now that is dedication to the MAX :)

We love you too mand.........

Next time you hit the trail, show us some pics of your dog.... we like dogs too.... :)

Hello Harddon :) , It's not as bad as it sounds honest :o

I always take my dog walking handbag, just an old thing it is. Now I always have a couple of plastic bags in there as well, Just in case one of the dogs poo's where they shouldn't and if anyone is around I can kinda sorta pick it up.
Anyway lets put it this way, I quite often come back with horse crap in a plastic bag from my walks, I feel kinda silly now :o but it is excellent for going in with the compost..........................Honest ;)
Oh, you don't need a scooper for horse poo, it's nice dry stuff and I am a country girl at heart you know :)

Heres a little pic of my girls as well, Zoe she is 6 years and Ruby she is 5 years :)


love mand xxx :)

Mand, that's an awesome philosophy, KIS and Cheap as possible. I thought that was what I was going to do, but I have been wanting to build more efficient Hydro equipment; and that has taken time and money. I just got my 600gph pump...I'm almost done...If I win this light ballast kit at auction today, I will have everything I need in my AC'd temp controlled room. It is great chatting with you, please continue to post, again great looking plants
...later.peace

Hello Latewood :) ..............No worries love I'll keep posting, haven't got a clue what to say but thats never stopped me before ;)

I have to keep it simple because................well I'm hopeless with anything to technical :)

I have to say though I have been smoking for 25 years now and growing for the last 6 years and yet I never tire of the whole cannabis culture that goes with it. I couldn't imagane how many kilos I've smoked over the years but I still relish every time I light up a freshly rolled joint just as much now as when I first started :) .
As for growing I love the anticipation of what the end product is going to be like and I don't think you can beat the feeling of getting high on you're own homegrown :)

love mand xxx :)

Mand, growing has shown me that everyday there is another surprise...through my experience I have found that Pot is not addictive until you start growing it...glad your enjoying yourself...that's what it is all about.later.peace

Hello Guys :) ......................Now I no it's only been just under a week since my last pics but can I just load a few more because the buds are really starting to show now :)

Oh and can I just ask you to forgive me for my camera skills, I have tried my best but don't seem to be very good at photo taking :o

Thankyou .................

love mand xxx :)

Thanks Latewood :) ...................it's Harddon he's got me worried about the colour now...................only kidding they are looking healthy and starting to get quite sticky as well ;)


love mand xxx :)

hey, when they are growing that well, pretty buds and all, you're doing something right. I believe at this point you would have to do something radically stupid to mess them up. So, you're OK, right...I'm always jealous of the folks with nice little grows...
I decided to grow as much as I could for stash and then concentrate on smaller/quicker grows, and now that my clones are kicking butt, I don't think I will be found wanting, ever again!

Happy Day to you across the big pond!

Mand....

Your plants are just awesum.

Very pretty and will produce you some very good stones to remember...er....i mean forget....

At least I forgot all mine anyhow :)

BTW.....whay havent you joined the pics o'your breasts club?

puuuullleeeeeeeeze feel free :)

Or even a lil cleavage will do.

Oh dear Harddon it's a tempting thought but affraid I'll pass on it, I don't won't to scare people you see............it's a case of the older you get the more gravity takes over, my bra's need stronger elastic every year :o



Yeah I know this crop is on course for being quite ok, although I have a feeling that the buds won't be that big, they are starting to get quite numerous and they still have a long way to go yet but I've grown better.

The best ever plant I've grown was a beautiful Afghani. I was growing a crop of Sensi Super Skunk, which to be fair was very good. However I was given 3 baby Afghani's, so I grew them with the Skunk, well 2 turned out to be male but the third one grew in to my best ever plant. After pinching and inducing it had four main heads and I have never seen so many buds on one plant in my life. The end result was, the skunk was a really nice smoke with quite a serious high but my Afghani simply knocked you sidewards. It used to lay me out and it had the most lovely afterglow to it that went on for ages :)

Anyway as soon has this crop is finished I've already bought a couple of packets of Sensi Skunk NO.1...............I've got those because it will be getting in to Autum when I start them and I find them quite a hardy little plant, you see it does get a little cool in my growroom in Winter, so they are my favourite for Winter growing.


I'd best stop rabbiting :o ................love mand xxx :)

Just a little update :) it's not so crowded in there now, four of the bigger ones cut a little early because of a bit of seeding, but there's more room left for the others now ;)

The last pic is of a couple of the little runty one's, I have no idea what they are but they have a few buds on them :)

love mand xxx :)

Hey Mand, you have absolutely beautiful plants. I hope mine look half as good as yours, but i'venever grown before so it's unlikely lol. Still, many of my mates grow now and honestly i dont think many of them have had plants as beautiful as yours. Also you're a beautiful woman too so don't worry about gravity.(Least you won't lose all your hair one day...and then have it start growing in odd places.) Anyway, once again very wonderful setup andplants.

Lookin good. You and the plants that is, lol
