Been playing some football manager over the weekend, don't even follow football anymore but this game is addictive! Also went up to the allotment yesterday and there is a disaster. lettuce has bolted, peas are eaten, onions eaten. Whole place is overgrown with weeds the past 2 weeks..... Potatoes and beetroot are the only things worth a shite lol

getting big the spuds? earlys or mains i can`t remember? mine are main so a bit left yet, have not flowered as of yet but the stalks are growing with gusto, i expect a few bigùns..

pity about the rest of the veg, i`ve not had much luck there myself but thats more down to how and where i planted some drills, too much of one thing not enough of others aswell...

the hippys are flowering... some confirmed fems and what looks like two males but they need another day or two to confirm, so looks like the little 600w has its work cut out now, to flower off these little beautys...

i say little as they got only 12/12 from seed and under the 6500k cfl`s since then so the nodes are tight, like super tight.... that`ll change soon tho, the 2700k cfl`s go in this evening and the confirmed fems will go into final 10 litre pots tomorrow and onwards until there all in finals..

nets been off all day yesterday.... tell you its something you don`t miss until its gone...


where were we.. torrents.. right so i look for the ones with the coloured skulls as there the trusted uploaders, and look for decent file size to make sure its a movie not some installer of some kind, so once downloaded how do i go about saveing it in a file so it will play on the tv? do i need to compress/uncompress it to get it to play, do i need a seperate program to get them to play from there?

and remember dudes ..as you would explain to a child hee hee heee... sorry but this computer stuff doesn`t come easy to some of us..

Depending on your download allowance and speed bigger files usually mean better quality, such a HD etc.
I usually go for smaller file sizes because I have a download cap of 60GB a month and the speed is goddam awful.
As DG says the files are usually ready to go so it's basically plug and play.

Got mains going, they have started preflowering (if thats even a thing with potatoes) so should start any day now. The soil I am working with on the lot is so fertile, everything grows so lush and it breaks down like coffee in your hands, not compacted at all it's like a sponge. I'd love to get some big plants in there and flower them out, probably 2 or 3 pounds a plant.

Have you seen the Northern California 7 pounders on youtube?
They are more like a tree than a plant.

Yeah there's some amazing grows out there, and most of them we don't know about. What we could do with a climate like northern californias....

Having all the expertise in the world to grow to that extent is no good without the climate.
Some amazing grows is right, huge solar panels to run the pumps from the massive water tanks and then having to hire people for three months to trim the harvest.
