Hello Bill , Ah well Bill an evening curled up on the sofa alone though love

Only kidding Bill most of the time there's always someone wanting something from me, being it a family member or a work. So to get an evening just doing my own thing is like a little piece of heaven for me
Just to be able to relax with a little homegrown a little drop a the old vodka (Smirnoff ), a great big bar of my favourite chocy whilst watching the "African Queen" is pure unadultrated bliss


Hmmm I think I'm going of the subject of growing cannabis a little.................never mind . When I started this journal and the plants were growing better than I have ever seen before I thought "oh great looks like a absolutely fantastic grow to make a little journal off", but it looks like it's going to end up being just a very mediocore type grow .
However never mind like I always say as long as there is enough for me and it's cheaper than buying it, well that's all that matters
Now if I could just learn how to distill my own vodka, I'd have it made

Always so lovely to hear from you Bill................by the way I haven't got a clue what to do with those bloody Ants

nice to see ur plants are growing along nicely, I hope your still on when i start my

grow Mand which should be in a week or so?

[BILL THICK]

Perhaps the grow may not be going well from your vantage point but it looks pretty good to me. And be it good or mediocre your journal is useful to everyone who reads it. we learn by trial and error and < though unfortunate> we probably learn more by mistakes so if we can learn by others it can be nothing less than useful. So I don't think anyones grow journal can be anything less than appreciated. So now what??LOL

Distilling Smirnoff.......hmmmmm what a thought, grow room and distillary both running under the same CO2 bottle, what a concept :stoned:

Oh and the ants ..... been a full on war, the buggers are wearing flack vest lol. tried spraying them with dish soap . Seemed to ward them off for a lil while but when i watered all the buckets started bubbling over with suds from the dishsoap LMAO so anyway seems first rounds been a draw, I mean waht can ya say when four thousand ants are rolling on the floor laughing at cha? TOO FUNNY!

Peace(with everybody but the ants )
Bill

[mand]

Oh dear Bill That made has made my morning just the thought of soap suds every where and the ants probably wondering "what's this guy up too" , while having a chuckle about it all
Hey do you think I should check out any sites on how to "distill you're own",.................. eeerrr then again that does sound technical think I'll just stick to the odd "booze cruise" for it


Hello BDA I should be still here, I hope I'm still here..................unless the police are reading this and decide to pay me a little vist
Yes do a little grow log I look forward to that



Ok an update ...........Well for a start I got the numbers wrong , there aren't ten females, there's nine.................my fault I just can't count ..........sorry

Anyway there still under the MH, I'm just not sure if the HPS is faulty or if there are other conditions making the plant's react badly to it
The flowering is coming along slowly and the resin production is starting to come along even slower. Mind you there's still away to go yet, I think a harvest around Christmas time.

I'll just add a few pics from this morning

Mand i recieved all my supplies for my 1st grow. I just need to set up my closet Im planning to grow 4 - 6 plants but i wanna know how do you germ ur seeds? and I have 10 seeds whats the ratio for all those guys to hatch from ur experience

[mand]

Hello B I find that the best way to germinate seeds is the paper towel method.
Put about four or five sheets of kicthen roll on a plate and give them a sprinkling of water but drain off all the excess. Put the seeds on the damp sheets and cover with another four or five layersand damp them. Just remember you want them damp not with pools of water on them. You can use toilet roll but it kinda disintergrates, kitchen roll is better

Then just put them out the way somewhere, an "airing cupboard"/"hot water tank cupboard" is fine, it's dark and the tempreture is nice and even. However it's really not too important were they are put, I'm just telling you my favourite place
Remember to check them now and again and make sure they don't dry out. As soon as the sprout appears put it in the soil, with the sprout end pointing downards.................just remember "pointy end down"................and that's it


Oh dear B it's really immpossible to tell how many will germinate, on my first ever try none at all germinated, but I always use Sensi Seeds now and the germination rate is usually 100%, there is the odd time that one or two might fail. It just really depends on the seeds you have, there age and just their quality. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you .............good luck

Glad I could make you smile, it looks like the war with the ants is over I got some stuff that had skull and cross bones all over it. Sprayed around grow area but not on plants, next day only a few ant beach towels and beach balls remained lol.

Your plants are looking up aye mand? hope so!

I use paper towels or just a wash cloth folded over for germinating seeds. Why do you use like five layers of towels top and bottom?

Tried ole Harddons hash oil method with some trimmings , water leaves and added a few buds for good measure and got a small amount of oil but it is definitely good :smokin: Considering it was made with what is otherwise normally useless leavesand all it's pretty good. Certainly worth the effort and it is really very easy to do. Noticed you kept the recipe, ya ought to give it a whirl.

The "African Queen" aye???
ya think they have a site on how to distill Vodka?? If not you could always start one lol

talk at ya later sexy,
Bill

[BukDatAss]

Thanks Mand. about how long do they take to sprout?

[mand]

Hello B again it depends on the seeds and the variety to some degree, but normally they should germinate within just a couple of days.........usually two days



Hello Bill yep the Skull and crossbones ones always seem to do the trick

Oh the paper towels, well I always like a few good layers so they retain the moisture and don't dry out so easily................I usually only have to dampen them the once at the begining

I don't think I'll bother with the still just yet Bill, blimey if the authorities come around here I'll be in enough trouble as it is now, with a still as well they would throw away the key

I may just try the "Hash Oil", when I have time , I've heard of it before and have been told it's really rather good


Oh yes I like most of the old films especailly the soppy ones but then again I don't think you can beat a good horror film. I like to watch them when alone with all the lights out..........scare myself silly, it's ok I'm still a little girl at heart





Hmmm the plants ..........well they are flowering (slowly) but the resin is starting to show now.
However the tempreture is dropping at night, there has been a few frosts, so this will slow down the plants metobolic rate a bit.


Here's just a few pics but there's not too much happening
