So I thought I'd post a couple of updated pics of my bushes... They are either bushes or shrubs, I'm not sure. My mist pump went out on me a few days ago, and the ladies went without water for 12-18 hrs. Not sure. Threw a sump pump & some drippers in and hey recovered quickly. Lost about 50% of my fan leaves. You'd never know it though. I know some serious scrog dudes are gonna be like "dude, you're doing it wrong" I know. First try. Shit grew faster than I could attempt to train it. These bitches are 2 months old, 1 month into flower.
If somebody want to tell me how to make my photos big, that would be cool.

Thanks luciferateme i was thinking of doing an attic build after seeing one a member called Bryant288 did.He gave a very detailed account of what he did and posted some very handy photos By doing an attic build i would not really be limited by space but i dont want a very big operation if i was harvesting 20 plants on a regular bias i would be very happy.I have about 4 grand to spend on the building the room and the equipment i will need.There seems to be a very heated debate about leds against other lights i like the fact the leds are easy on the juice and give out very little heat what would be ur personal opinion.Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

hey guys, i havnt posted for a while. there was a rat in our area who gave d guards names of everyone that smokes the good stuff. so took a short holiday with my plant to a friends house, risky ya but better than getting caught! In the interest of all irish growers, i'm planing to do a few experiments with some strains to see what i can grow outdoors here, not just the usual hollands hope. i will try some more exotic strains. i know people will say this wont work but feck it i'll giv it a try! i've germed seeds indoors and when they're 6 weeks old i'll start hardening them off. i'll give posts and journals when i get everything sorted!!!

hi pat hat
i have the lighthouse 90w ufo(6 band veg) and it works great for veg, i left it on for flowering but if i am honest this version isnt really any good for flowering. some people swear by them but after uysing the led and mh/hps i would go mh/hps due to the fact that plants need heat and in this climate we dont have any heat. i found the plants seem to be doing really well under the hps after there veg. the most important things are the ventilation and not playing with the plants too much as some do!
you shouldnt need to spend anything like that sort of money, if you want to do 20 plants per grow then if i were you for starters i would by 2 large grow tents and do a sog grow. this means you grow lots of smaller plants in a tighter space. i would say to use a hardy plant, the white berry im doing now are fantastic and very quick to flower. personally if i were you just get one tent for now so you get a feel of things because there is a knack to growing these plants and better to learn on a small grow than on a larger one.
you can get a full set up cheap enough nowadays online so i think thats ur best way forward.
as for changing the attic its a good idea but make sure that you pad it well as the gadai are using thermal imaging to see where grows are and if your attic with no conversion glows in there camera u will be getting a knock!knock!
good luck with it.
lotus check out some of the magus genetic plants as they do well in colder climates! glad tosee your back and still growing.

The Great Smoke Off
By Shel Silverstein
In the laid back California town of sunny San Rafael
Lived a girl named Pearly Sweetcake, you probly knew her well.
Shed been stoned fifteen of her eighteen years and the story was widely told
That she could smoke 'em faster than anyone could roll.
Her legend finally reached New York, that Grove Street walk-up flat
Where dwelt The Calistoga Kid, a beatnik from the past
With long browned lightnin fingers he takes a cultured toke
And says, Hell, I can roll em faster, Jim, than any chick can smoke!
So a note gets sent to San Rafael, For the Championship of the World
The Kid demands a smoke off! "Well, bring him on!" says Pearl,
"I'll grind his fingers off his hands, he'll roll until he drops!"
Says Calistog, "I'll smoke that twist till she blows up and pops!
So they rent out Yankee Stadium and the word is quickly spread
"Come one, come all, who walk or crawl, price just two lids a head
And from every town and hamlet, over land and sea they speed
The world's greatest dopers, with the Worlds greatest weed
Hashishers from Morocco, hemp smokers from Peru
And the Shamnicks from Bagun who puff the deadly Pugaroo
And those who call it Light of Life and those that call it boo.
See the dealers and their ladies wearing turquoise, lace, and leather
See the narcos and the closet smokers puffin all together
From the teenies who smoke legal to the ones who've done some time
To the old man who smoked reefer back before it was a crime
And the grand old house that Ruth built is filled with the smoke and cries
Of fifty thousand screaming heads all stoned out of their minds.
And they play the national anthem and the crowd lets out a roar
As the spotlight hits The Kid and Pearl, ready for their smokin' war
At a table piled up high with grass, as high as a mountain peak
Just tops and buds of the rarest flowers, not one stem, branch or seed.
Maui Wowie, Panama Red and Acapulco Gold.
Kif from East Afghanistan and rare Alaskan Cold.
Sticks from Thailand, Ganja from the Islands, and Bangkok's Bloomin' Best.
And some of that wet imported shit that capsized off Key West.
Oaxacan tops and Kenya Bhang and Riviera Fleurs.
And that rare Manhatten Silver that grows down in the New York sewers.
And there's bubblin ice cold lemonade and sweet grapes by the bunches.
And there's Hersheys bars, and Oreos, case anybody gets the munchies.
And the Calistoga Kid, he sneers, and Pearly, she just grins.
And the drums roll low and the crowd yells GO! and the worlds first Smoke Off begins.
Kid flicks his magic fingers once and ZAP! that first joints rolled.
Pearl takes one drag with her mighty lungs and WOOSH! that roach is cold.
Then The Kid he rolls his Super Bomb thatd paralyze a moose.
And Pearley takes one super hit and SLURP! that bomb defused.
Then he rolls three in just ten seconds and she smokes 'em up in nine,
And everybody sits back and says, "This just might take some time."
See the blur of flyin fingers, see the red coal burnin bright
As the night turns into mornin and the mornin fades to night
And the autumn turns to summer and a whole damn year is gone
But the two still sit on that roach-filled stage, smokin' and rollin' on
With tremblin hands he rolls his jays with fingers blue and stiff
She coughs and stares with bloodshot gaze, and puffs through blistered lips.
And as she reaches out her hand for another stick of gold
The Kid he gasps, "Goddamn it, bitch, there's nothin' left to roll!"
"Nothin left to roll?", screams Pearl, "Is this some twisted joke?
I didn't come here to fuck around, man, I come here to SMOKE!"
And she reaches 'cross the table And grabs his bony sleeves
And she crumbles his body between her hands like dried and brittle leaves
Flickin' out his teeth and bones like useless stems and seeds
And then she rolls him in a Zig Zag and lights him like a roach.
And the fastest man with the fastest hands goes up in a puff of smoke.
In the laid-back California town of sunny San Rafael
Lives a girl named Pearly Sweetcake, you probly know her well.
Shes been stoned twenty-one of her twenty-four years, and the storys widely told.
How she still can smoke them faster than anyone can roll
While off in New York City on a street that has no name.
There's the hands of the Calistoga Kid in the Viper Hall of Fame
And underneath his fingers there's a little golden scroll
That says, Beware of Bein the Roller When There's Nothin Left to Roll.

thats good lotus, nice read.
tonto as you say theres a lot of hollands hope been tried and some good, lots bad. im planting a few outdoors this year but like a few people im not going with anything traditional that people normally plant. probably take a couple of strains suggested for the canada northern region as our climate is similar. ive put links below of where i got my info. maybe purple power and super nova due to mad thc levels and even if you get only a small yield it will still be worth its while.

bar 1 or 2, those are all shit strains and would be down to luck if they finished mold free, kcbrains, female seeds, dutch passion, esbes, lalandia(spelling?), smokealots and even the smaller private breeders are going to be way better.
this place is brilliant if anyones on a budget
