Hey All

This seems to be a really friendly community oozing with really good information, so just stopping by to say hello, im based in the UK, South Wales.

Long time smoker (25 years or so), but its getting increasingly more difficult to score, so thought its about time i pulled my finger out and give growing a try, so much good info on here for beginners, hopefully i have digested enough to get me going.

I don't have a designated grow room, after much convincing with the other half i have been allowed to convert a unused double wardrobe in the spare room into a mini-grow of one or two plants max, will stick to soil growing until i get the hang of things, starting with just one plant.

Things i have on order for a first time grow, hopefully without breaking the bank...

10 - Tangerine Dream AUTO Feminised Seeds
1 - White Widow Auto x Big Bud Feminised Seeds
COCO COIR PREMIUM MIX Soil
300w CFL Dual Spectrum (6400k+2700k) Grow & Flower Lamp
300W UFO LED Grow Light Lamp (Full Spectrum)
Rockwool Propagation Cubescon
Two small desktop fans
5Gal tubs for main planting

Hopefully the above will allow me to get going without too much hassle, if i have missed anything obvious please give me a shout back as appreciate any feedback from seasoned growers, as its my first grow im just feeling my way hence choosing Auto/Fem seeds, hopefully i have ordered enough to take into account any learning mistakes i make if i need to start again, i dont need to be too stealthy but the grow need to stay within the confines of the wardrobe, nearly 5ft wide by 3ft deep and around 6ft high, or my life wont be worth living :)

Cheers

Jon

Another JD in the world :0) Brilliant!

You mixed autos with photos but that is no problem....you will not be able
to take clones of the autos....and cloning will be important in time.

LOL, it was, in part, autos arrival that got me started. :0)

<Waves> from one JD to another :)

Both my Tangerine Dream & White Widow are Auto's (White Widow was the freebee seed), yep thats the trade off i guess at the moment, i just wanted something simplified due to lack of space and learning but will try Photos in time when i get a bit more experienced, whats your fav strain ?

  1. What's up Stoners and Growers. I'm the new kid on the block. This is my first time ever on/in a forum. Shouts out to all the positive vibes/people out there. I hope all is swell. Im here to post a review about a seed bank/company. I decided that I would buy one of my closest homies some beans for his Birthday. Also, thought about buying myself some, but i have never grown before. Also, i was not going to put all my eggs in one basket, so i decided just to buy some for my boi. He's in Cali and has a license to grow. Thought it would be a decent pre 4:20 gift. He's been growing for a while and has a lot plants and gets his beans are usually from Cali dispensaries. I thought I would get him some foreign( lol, I guess Canada is not foreign), dope exotic type shit. The only problem was finding a trustworthy bean site as close as possible, since American ones are bullshit from what I researched in the last 4weeks. I would have preferred to get them from my home country. Honestly, it didn't matter where the beans come from as long as they come, and were legit and not a finesse type of situation. I hate being finesse or played. I think everyone does. Especially, when it is your precious money involved. I researched and researched and after three weeks I decided to go with TNSB, specifically Canuk Seeds. I purchased A Auto Critical Mass Fem and a freebie White Widow Fem came with that purchase. I placed the order on Friday morning. I think it was The 23rd of march. The seeds came Monday afternoon. That would be the 26th. I payed via Debit Card. Perfect. I sent the seeds to my guy. No big deal. You have people sending pounds of coke and all type of shit through the mail and they making harmless weed seeds seem so damn bad. Fuck that won't stop me. I know weed is good for anyone. Back to the point, the seeds came extremely quick. Not sure about stealth. Was in bubble wrap inside a manilla envelope and inside the loc tite mini zip loc bags labeled separately and sealed. I was stoked. The very next day sent them to my boi through the mail. A day before his B Day. He opened them of course. He hit my line and we chopped it up and talked about bullshit. He didn' want to tell me but he had to. We men about the shit. He discredited the seeds immediately. I never got a chance to see the seeds. Only opened the envelope to make sure the product was there, and sent them off the next day to him. He said the seeds were very small and dark brownish white. He would not even waste his time trying to germ those he said. My boi was laughing and saying how could they do that once I told him where I got the seeds. I begged my boi to try to germ them and plant to see if I wasted my money. He didn' want to but he did. Turns out he was right. Both seeds were in a cup of water for 24 hours then transferred to paper towel method. (This is what he told me verbatim). He said the white widow fem root popped in 36 hours and the critical mass did not yet. He then, transferred the white widow into his soil medium. Put it under a 300 watt LED at 30 inches high. Made sure the soil was moist and all. Planted it a half an inch from top. It never pushed through or showed any signs of coming up. It has been a 10 days since it was planted. The critical mass never showed a root in decent seed germinating conditions. He planted it anyway after 5 days. Never showed any signs of coming up. My buddy knew this already and called me yesterday and said he gone throw the seeds out because they are definitely no good. He said you can look at the seeds and tell if they are legit most of the time. I'm not even going to waste my time speaking to TNSB/Canuk Seeds. We men about the shit. They know the product they sent out was bullshit. 45USD for stealth guaranteed shipping. That is the only part they fulfilled. Fast delivery. Not discreet at all, and bogus ass seeds. Would NEVER buy seeds from them again and would NEVER recommend anyone to spend their hard earned money with these guys. Especially, If you are a true growers or true seed buyer. This is a 100% real review and i just wanted to advise everyone about these guys. I checked on the website and they have 50% off Canuk Seeds from April 2 to April 14 or something. Bullshit do not buy into that. Everything is half off because their product is not legit. I hope i save a lot of people money, time, and energy in the future. If you hear anything about these guys; it not not what it seems. And Canuk Seeds had the nerves to go to a Cannabis Expo on YouTube and try to boost their exposure/notoriety by lying about the legitimacy of their product. Made me look like a fucking fool I'm front of the guys, and I didnt even look inside the package. That shit is not cool bro. Not at all. It is not about the money. It is about shitty businesses lying to rip customers, then having shitty disclosures like" We won't answer any questions relating to germination, growth", or whatever it says. That is contradictory what are you doing business for? If a customer cant talk about product bought. 58 USD can go a long way. That is why I only bought one seed and used a 20% off coupon and $7 dollar voucher off seed price before shipping and stealth price. So, I saved$11.46 cents from being finessed out of. This is the only good thing that came from this ordeal. I love you all. Stay stoned, happy, and healthy.

it' all about building experience from what I can gather.. this will be my 1st grow but after excessive research into a lot of work and ways to grow I feel quite confident.. CFLs or LEDs is the big question even for me lol haven' purchased a light yet just laying out the ground base

Oregon seed company never done me wrong almost 100% germ rate and the failures were probably my fault and the stealth shipping from them works they usually hide it in a t shirt or other things and use an innocuous shipping adress look em up.

I have the kind300 led light... I THOUGHT the grow closet package I was getting had a different generation of light where you can control the intensity, but alas I messed up and didn't really read the details. So far it seems to be doing ok.I'll let you know how I feel it does down the road. Are you thinking of doing soil or hydro? I am doing soil right now... but I really think that I'm going to switch over to hydro when I can fork out some more coins. I was worried at first that it would be too hard, but I think my clones are doing better than my mains right now because it's easier (and quicker) to adjust mess ups with water... I had a scare and had to do a crazy flush of soil because I think I over fertilized... which is probably a partial reason why my 3 plants are a little blah right now. Since I'm growing in 100% peat- I wonder if I am able to switch them to hydro? - Any expert opinions/info would be appreciated.

You can go soil to hydro just rinse all the dirt away from the roots
