    The UK Growers Thread!

    3-4 ton... Argos had an advert today on telly, Nikon DSLR for £275 (didn't hear the model, probably D3000). Kit lens is good but a cheap macro on top wold push it to £400. A small lottery win and I could spend £15K on camera gear in an afternoon. Not online but in a shop (probably get a brew...

    The UK Growers Thread!

    If you're looking at a good bridge camera the Fujifilm series are very well regarded. Don't worry too much about pixel count. You can get good ones in cashconverters for about £80. The bridge cameras have many of the manual features of a DSLR, taking photo's of a plant under lights will always...

    I make a point of never having scales in my gaff. Looks good to me. Plants near/at fruition. Chop it! Another week or two won't make any difference. Drying/curing is the next test...

    Not being a spammer/troll, but I think this thread will disappear soon (now you're using HPs'n'junk) So: Here's 9mins of Santana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HXGTgNGUPw I'll try to take some photo's of my waifs and strays and post them. They serve me well. Almost forgot, making hashish is...

    Sorry about that :grin:. I've got lots of random clips while you're waiting. Here's the Clangers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HArUmqqiL0s At least a couple of weeks for me. I've trimmed the bottom few buds to smoke and to encourage the tops... Soapbar is the worst!!! I speed dried the fluffy...

    I sleep next to my plants and keep my dirty socks nearby so lots of carbon dioxide. Just a quick note: I'm in the UK (UT+1/BST) so... for me it's midnight. One of the main reasons I started growing is since the age of mobile (cell) phones, I don't want scallywags on bikes or gangsters in...

    A bit off topic but a mate had a hydroponics set up in a spare bedroom. One day he forgot to lock the door. His ten year old son took his friends to see the Doctor Who room!

    For a first grow, one of the best I've seen (although I've been away for a while and don't post much). I've read the whole thread (shame about the gap in the middle, these things happen). I know you've put a lot of time and effort into it and it's paid off. Not long now... I've been growing...

    48 hours of darkness.......

    Well... what I've heard is that the darkness and drop in temp tricks the plant into thinking it's the first frost of the Autumn. They produce more resin to stop the buds from freezing. I keep them in the dark for the last 48 hours, they don't catch fire or explode or anything, it seems quite safe.

    Girls are looking good! Thanks for the heads up on Tescos, a new shop opened near us recently so I got 15. Don't really need any more but over time they loose brightness and at 20p get 'em while you can. Don't know how others feel about this but I'm really lazy and neglect my plants, near...

    Hello, another cfl UK grower here. Those big cfl's look great and the girls look nice and bushy, good stuff. On my third grow now, I like my new hobby and it means dodgy scallywags on mountain bikes don't know where I live, if you know what I mean (AND their "skunk" is green, wet and crap). Pay...

    First time LED grow

    LED's are the future. Totally efficient, whatever "spectrum" you want (mix) and cheap (if you can be arsed soldering them together). Will be watching this one (I'm an Optics nut). Cheers.
