Yikes - I'm right on the edge of being busted!!!

[deadfrog]

Hi bud fans, I just joined up today after a search for Irish based MJ forums.

Now onto my issue:

I've been growing some plants outdoors over the summer and I must say they are doing rather well. Over 6 feet tall and very bushy. 9 plants in total, 1 in the ground and the other 8 in pots.

What's the problem? well I've just been spotted by some workmen that are rebuilding the roof next door. They had to access the front of my garden to put up some scaffolding and about an hour later I saw 5 of them gathered around my lovelies admiring them... my heart sank, I knew they knew exactly what they were. I was hoping to get away with "Mexican peppers" or "Spanish tomatoes" or some such but these lads were smiling away. Damn and double damn... what to do... what to do...

Any advice?

How'd Deadfrog

What could anyone say they ll tell someone id bet but who knows ?. Good question. Id feel preet y paranoid if i where you so what do you intend to do leave there?, lets face it like i said they ll probly tell somebody else so expect ur garden to be raid maybe not by the police but by somebody wholl want what you have. thats the risk you take with growing in a built up area. all i can say if it was me id be shiting for a number of reasons you dont know for sure if they tell someone wholl try and stael them or maybe one of em would ring the cops on you because there jealous that they havnt got any themselves where they young guys ???. if so id watch ur Ass


what else can be said either way id say ur in trouble!!!
in ur situation id get ride because someone bound to try and break in....

By the way is it ur house or ur folks whats the story there i wouldnt like to take that risk why didnt u grow rem indoors for gods sake u would nt have this problem never grow in built up areas because even if a kid lobs there ball into ur garden someone would find out


Bad luck mate

I'm not in a city or town but I do have a few neighbors on my country lane. I'm renting and I don't think I would be here too much longer if my landlord heard the big bad "D" word. I wouldn't be too concerned about my landlord or neighbours actually seeing the plants as I grow a lot of other stuff in my garden such as flowers and veggies and they would easily buy the "Mexican peppers" story.

Actually I hadn't really intended growing any plants, I just popped a few seeds in pots to see how they would do outside in the Irish climate. Well it's been a very good summer by Irish standards so the plants have been doing great. I should have pruned them to keep them short and that may have helped to keep them hidden.

They won't start flowering till sometime in September and harvest would probably be early October. This is too long too have that sickly paranoid feeling.

So I've got to move them on. After talking to a mate that lives in the area, he has offered me a spot in his garden. I'm going to move them later tonight under the cover of darkness and thank feck he has a van.

I'll have to pop over to his place about twice a week to take care of them. Pity I really enjoy coming out in the morning and seeing them. At least I don't have to end their lives early!

Very nice plants there Head

Did you feed em anything?. It goes to shoe how the outdoors can have some real advantages over indoors. There beautiful and happy looking you deff have a green finger/hand there mate best of luck with the move. Its the only way to handle the situation. Im sure those guys would have or will tell somebody about those. i hope theres enough good weather left to finish them. If your mate has a shed start puting them indoors for 12 hours at least that way you can force them early the only problem with Ireland is our winter sets in pretty quickly and from what ive heard Mold outdoors can be a problem given our high Humidity climate but again wonderful JOb. Well done so far

I wish you all the Best. D

I feed them alright but nothing particularly special. I believe in keeping it simple and cheap though a bit of the right type of care and MJ flies. Watch how it uses water and give it just enough that it's never ever waterlogged. Watch the leafs and respond with nutrients, about the only special precaution is magnesium as it really likes this and in Ireland there is a lot of hard water which can block mg takeup in the plant.

I thought my main problem outdoors would be bugs and other then bites on the leaves there has been no real problem. I was expecting the greenfly to go a bit mad as there has been loads around this year, the feckers like my veggies though.

It's a pity that flowering and harvesting is so late outdoors in Ireland, mold is a real worry and I've seen the devastating effects it can have on late fruiting veg, it knocked out my pumpkins last year. The spot I had to move my plants to is a bit damp as it is close to a river. Would love to get them going 12/12 but I just don't have that option, though I do want to see how they do over a full cycle outdoors in Ireland.

Ye, Cool i ajust my water with phos acid, ive a meter and test each time i water usually comes out of the tap 7,5 to 9ish which is too high indeed so by adding the acid it brings it right down. i water mine at 6,8 ish so that takes care of that for me. well as said they are lovly and green im still getting to grips with the hole feeding thing even do ive been threw it a good few grows now depending on the strain i either over feed or under feed, ah sure its all a learning experence

take it handy D

Nice one Bredrin,nice one!

Someonethat knows their herb.They'er looking mighty fine.I like your motto "simple and cheap" and if I had a spot like that I would do the same.my water stays at about 7 but I always have probs with chlorosis freaks me out but never seem to get mould although I expect it cause its gets severe sometimes.I've had a suspicion that it might be the water even though its 7.Reason being its looks like mg def.

Is there any chance you might move them inside?

but to see them go full cycle... woooow yeh baby!big buds.
