here a better reading of Rising and setting times for the Sun mine are 12/12 but was thinking of leaving them in green house 24/7 well for 3 a least as they be ready in 2 weeks
I would carry on what you are doing, You'd be surprised how much the light cycle will interfer at this stage of flowering..

Yay another girly grower to keep me company!!! Any particular reason why you think they need nutes? I was using plagron terra, plagron enzymes and blackstrap molasses to feed the trannies during veg, only coz they were recommended by the growshop. Didn't have any problems except not giving them enough at first, but do start them off on 1/4 strength and work your way up. Didn't get to use the flowering nutes (plagron bloom) as they turned out male. There are cheaper alternatives out there, but the more experienced fellas can help with that. I do recommend you get a good grow guide (Ed Rosenthal, Jorge Cervantes etc) and read them again and again, also reading other people's journals will really help you learn.

I have a book by both of those guys... Nearly have read the print off the pages at this time... both books are great reads..

As for flowering feeds, I've used Bio Bizz and thought that was good.. although your buds are only going to be as good as the strain.

Q.Q = Anybody know if the wild ferns that grow on mountains have died back yet..??

Alot of people don't think of growing weed as a hobbie, mostly because its illegal over here, but the simple fact is there are much worst crimes being comitted each hour of each day in this country.... By me growing a couple of plants for my own consumption then I could actually be doing the law a favour as I can't remember when I went to a dealer last.. (years ago)

Everyone knows that the weed on the street is shite, so why buy it...?, So much easier growing it and the satisfaction you get from finally smoking it, Plus my wife knows where i am if im missing for a hour (In the shed staring at my plants)

I don't think you're crazy, Infact you are like us now, the inteligent ones...!!

Here is a great grow guide... Might be a bit of a long read and some parts don't need reading unless your some sort of scientist but covers pretty much everything....

yea hopefully i'll get reading it later!!
well to be honest my partner had a serious drink problem & decided to go cold turkey from drink & fags & the only thing that kept him sane was a wee pipe of grass every now & then & i no he cant do with out it now but id rather a calm chilled out man than a drunk man out recking the place recking my cars & house!
now im fed up with paying that type of money for good smoke & its not always available!
i cant work due to a disease i have so im always here anyway! all i hear is bad reports about cannabis but drink is the god dam devil it should be banned & smoke legalised!

Funny that the drink should be mentioned...

I'm just fresh back from London (Newmarket races) where I drank so much that as I type now, I've large amounts of skin missing from either knee and elbow, a huge graze down my back, a bit of a black eye, a bruise cheek and a sore jaw bone.. so much so that Im unble to eat properly...
That was from 2 falls outside of a weatherspoons....I hit my head against a parking sign on the way down..
£2 a pint of Magners and £1 a shot of Jagermister...!! I just went over board with and needless to say i'm off drink for a long time and not going to drink that amount again...

Just another example why weed is safer...!! Besides how many people do you see in the A & E late on a Saturday night from smoking weed...???

Had a walk up to my outdoor grow today..


Not looking good at all....


Also, I took this picture at 1pm and the sun had already gone behind trees..





I wasn't really expecting much from these plants, I have learnt many things from this lesson...

Don't think I'll bother, they're not getting much of sunlight anyway...

Although is there anything cheap and instant with added "N" in it that I could give them.. I hate seeing anything not well...

Yeap, so long as you've enough light and don't let it freeze its tits off.. Sure look at me, I done a outdoor shed grow in the depths of our mini ice age we had last year... I don't recommend it though.. took forever to grow..
