Mand's low tech set up...........

[mand]

Thankyou G, nice of you to say so


How long have they been flowering ?...........well I don't really keep track of dates, I just tend to go on how they look but I've had a look at my previous threads/post and I think it's around 3-4 weeks. I'm guessing at prehaps another 4-6 weeks before I harvest the first one.
I think that I have a tendancy to harvest too soon, so this time I'm going to try and leave them a little longer than I usally do

You're right when you say that there's not many women who grow, I've met plenty who smoke but never met another that grows That actually made me a little nervous about posting on here but I had to start because I really needed help with my bulbs. It's just that I thought to myself one day why should I keep buying when I can grow it myself so I had one attempt to germinate some seeds I ordered out of a magazine and all failed to germinate.
After that I bought a little book on how to grow, bought some outdoor sensi seeds from local market stall, and grew a sucsesfull outdoor crop.
That made me very nervous though because of the police helicopter.
So I bought a growlamp and moved indoors. That was about 6 years ago now

I'm from the Midlands love, where dinner time is at dinner time and tea time is were it's susposed to be common as muck we are round here you know

bye for now G .............love mand xxx

I've read more growing reports from females lately on this site and others. I think it is becoming more popular. Certainly that is a good thing I like your simple setup.

I think leaving them a lil longer is the way to go looking at harddon's results. But I can imagine you can't wait to harvest once flowering progresses

My 1st germination attempt also failed. I tried again & only one sprouted. I'm using this grow as a bit of an experiment to make things better for my next grow.

I get very scared of those police choppers too - they fly over my house, sometimes circling, prob once or twice a week - paranoia sets in

I lived in Rushden for over a year, but now back in my home of London. BTW, for me lunch is lunch (12-3ish), dinner is the evening meal you have, & tea is something you drink

Oh yeah, what sort of results did you get in your previous grows?

[mand]

Hello Lemonboy thats good, well to be honest if I can grow then anyone can grow, and thats the truth
What I've found is that most girls/women who smoke weed, will usually have a husband or boyfriend that maybe does the growing or he will buy it. In my case I ethier have to go out and buy it or grow it myself, and theres no chance of me buying it when I can grow myself.



Hello Ganjamania the previous grows have been fine except the last one, my bulbs were just too old and worn out. The plants started ok and after a while they just gave up and died very quickly.
I usually do two grows a year, prehaps 3 sometimes when the third grow is staggered into the next year.
I can't complain about any of the previous grows though, I really can't tell you how much in weight, but I'll be sure to post some pics of the final results of this one.

I must admit though the waiting game is difficult with this crop because of my last crop failing I've been dry here for quite a while .

Little confession now .............just before the lights went off at 6pm this evening I went in to check how they were doing and I spotted a couple of small but very nice looking little buds, I couldn't resist taking them and now I'm gently force drying them, hopefully ready for this weekend
Well one of my sons is off on his holidays to Ibiza tommorow and my other son is staying at his girlfriends whilst her parents are on holiday (he claims there housesitting ) and my daughter is going to her partners parents house for the weekend.
I've got the place all to myself for the weekend, and now prehaps enough for 3-4 spiffys as well
If any family ring me then I'm not in

your 1 cool lady mand. you keep these threads alive, when you see that the threads are getting boring just start a new one to spice it up, all ur threads are not only informative but also fun. So how many grows have you had?

[mand]

Hello Star and B it's really kind of you both to say such nice words.............Thankyou
Affraid I've been struggling to find time this last few days to come on line but I've just put a little update on my present grow thread and I copied a post I did the other day to answer you're question B .....................

Hello B , On my first ever attempt the seeds failed to germinate, I had sent off for them from an advert in a magazine. Not one of them sprouted .
On my second grow I grew outdoors and everything went fine, I grew a few mexican stavia and some rudrails/indica both were from sensi seeds.
To say we only have a shortish growing season and not a deal of sunshine (we didn't that year) over here they grew pretty well

In 1998 I bought the lamp for indoor growing and since then I have grown 2 or 3 crops a year. I did have a crop fail a while ago because the light bulbs were just worn out with age ..................http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=22341

So I've probably grown somewhere around 17+/- indoor crops over the last 7 years.

Your a champ. Where do you get ur seeds from? did you ever grow white widow?

[mand]

Hello B I always use Sensi seeds..................

http://www.sensiseeds.com/ml/shop.asp?MainLev=3

I buy them off a stall at the local Sunday market, the guy who sells them knows me quite well now and I know that his seeds are always fresh.


I have never grown White widow................yet My usual is Skunk#1, but I have grown Sensi skunk, Mexican stavia, Rudderails x Indica, Afghani, Northern lights, Super skunk and a few more that I have had given me of unknown variety
Maybe next summer I'll consider something different but during this winter I'll stick with the Skunk#1, a very good growing and a hardy plant which does produce a quite potent little bud
