Finn'SCRog - Trainwreck & Mystery Sativa

[bigtopsfinn]

Looks great! Wanted to ask you (as i live in Finland too and want to grow my first lowryder2 plant) what if I just order all the stuff (beside seeds) from internet and do not plant, will i get something if they find all the equipment? Or should i just bring stuff from Holland on holiday trip?

Sorry for a hijack, i was reading your first grow log before this

Hey dude no problem :jointsmile:

My friend ordered all his grow equipment from Germany, and his seeds from Greenhouse Seeds in the Netherlands, but never put anything together. Two months later the cops showed up at his door with a dog and search warrant (he believes it because of the greenhouse seeds), but no charges were brought up and they didn't take anything either.

However, as I understand the law, even the intent to grow is against the law, so that can be understood in different ways.

Suomen huumausainelainsäädäntö
Joka tehdäkseen 1 §:n 1-3 kohdassa tarkoitetun rikoksen valmistaa, tuo maahan, hankkii tai vastaanottaa tällaisen rikoksen tekemiseen soveltuvan välineen, tarvikkeen tai aineen, on tuomittava huumausainerikoksen valmistelusta sakkoon tai vankeuteen enintään kahdeksi vuodeksi.

My suggestion would be to order everything to a trustworthy friend's house, who can say he sold it all to some unknown person who paid cash. This trustworthy person, however, should not have anything illegal in their home, because the police will most likely come knocking one day.

Or, grow some chilli with your setup, wait for the cops, and when they do come, file a complaint like everyone else: Police Raids of Home Gardens Spark Controversy | News | YLE Uutiset | yle.fi

You might want to ask around on the local Finnish "hamppuforuum" for better advice

Finn,
Your first trainwreck growlog was fantastic and inspired me to LST. Maybe after keeping up with this one I might dabble in Scrog. Good luck, and update religiously! For I shall be following in the exact same manner.

Looking forward to following and learning from this one. *subscribed*

It's my wife's old pantyhose that I cut to size for my passive intake Acts as a filter for dust and helps to light proof.

Nice to have you along PhatJay, MerryPrankstr and purplekush :jointsmile: Hope I don't disappoint :rastasmoke:

Kiitos!!, that helped a lot actually. Still leaves me wonder, if all those companies use stealth delivery and boxes are not opened - how customs know whats inside. This year i got seeds from UPS courier straight to the door(over 800â?¬ box for friends that grow in Russia), sealed box and all.... he left me two lowryder 2 seeds to try...i guess ill wait for cops to arrive first :hippy:

I believe they X-ray or somehow scan everything :abduct: With stealth packaging you might be OK, but at least greenhouse seeds don't stealth package, they brand package and send a nice big seed catalog. My friend thinks this is the reason they came to his house.

I think it also depends a little on which city or town you are in... the customs may report it, but sometimes the police have better things to do than run around trying to bust growers... sometimes :wtf:

Thanks Gare :jointsmile:

I'm still learning, but try to help others where I can.

Unfortunately I'm in an uphill battle right now. They have all been growing very slowly IMO. Reasons for this:
1. I've had the old hps on them (this light has been used for almost 3000 hours)
2. Low humidity
3. Not enough nutrients
4. Possibly the soil sucks, it's the cheaper stuff. Next repot I'll probably just use the more expensive one if problems persist.

Yesterday I decided to change the 400w hps bulb, and transplanted the younger ones into 1 liter containers.

Been misting them with water.

Plants are yellowing due to what I believe is a Nitrogen deficiency. TW and MS1 (the 2 older plants) are already recovering from this, but now the 4 younger MS's are having the same problem. I have given them all a 1/3 dose of the Canna Veg nutes plus about 1/3 dose of seaweed extract. Hopefully the younger ones recover in the next couple days like the older ones did.

This is one of the drawbacks of growing in soil. You never know what exactly you're getting with soil, and it's difficult to fix problems with nutrients. I think I'll try coco next time.

Plans are also changing. I will probably have a visitor coming to my home in May, which means I need to be over and done with the grow by then. This means no cloning , no re-veg , and the MS's will have to start flowering next week . I'll let the TW veg for about another month.

22 days from breaking the soil for the TW and MS1. The other 4 MS are about a week younger.

Like I said in the previous post, they are starving for Nitrogen and are slowly getting better. The MS1 is looking the best, and the TW is not far behind. The other 4 MS's are slowly recovering. I increased the distance to the light to help in the recovery.

Also put in the carbon filter when I changed to the new 400w HPS light.

I'm having to guess at this point when my guest will arrive, sometime in the end of May, so I'm planning to flower all 5 MS's starting Feb 24, (11 more days of veg) to give them 12 weeks of flowering time if needed. The TW can wait until March 17 to flower, so if all goes well, it should be a pretty good sized scrog for the TW.

Here are some pics. In the first pic, front right is the TW, front left is the MS1. The other 4 in the taller containers are the other MS's.

MS1 is looking to be quite sativa dominant next to the TW. The other 4 MS's are showing some variations.

what's good finn? can't believe i haven't seen this grow before now. you know i'm along for the ride.

as far as soil, you pretty much get what you pay for. if you get a good soil you know exactly what you are getting. this go round i've been using bioterra from biocanna. it's about $25/1.5 cuft. bag, but it seems to work really well. i know biobizz soil rocks as well. the all-mix is pre-ferted, but it's all organic.

i think you will be very happy with the TW! i've seen first hand what beauts they can turn into. i've also been lucky enough to procure some cuttings from a few of them as well. (see attached pic!)

keep up the great work my friend! inspiring as always!

this pic is about 2 weeks old too! done with organics.
