man i wish i could grow again i have to get my own place :( :( i grew a couple of times first time was a 1 bagseed 1 white widow and 1 lemon skunk under 600 watt hps had everything i needed, the bagseed died but my white and lemon skunk trived got half oz off the white widow was only small because i never transplanted it into a big bucket but i didnt mind cause it was my first time and plus i had a stinky 5 and a half foot lemon skunk with big ass buds got 350 grams (wet) from it which got me bout 100 grams dry give or take was so happy with the outcome it was 1 of the best weeds iv ever smoked and strongest and lemoniest :) the main cola weighted 26.5 when dry was huge and the white widow was nice very indica buzz real spicey/herby taste with lilttle bit of musksiness could have left it longer tho, i have pics but i dont no how to dowload them from fone to laptop :( since i was so happy with my first time, i grew again started 2 white widow and 3 ak's which got infested white white mite's was so unhappy so then grew agian with 5 lowryder#2 which were `100% femized but got 2 hermi's from them which is a complete joke but other 3 went strong grew to about 3 foot some nice sticky kushy/skunky buds got about half oz from each but alot longer than 8weeks stated more like 12 weeks :( ahh but was lovely smoke with them 3 lowryders i grew 2 NYCD plants i was a little bit worried at start because of the 80/20 sativa dominament or some say 70/30 but its defo a grower but they came out well i had 2 of them they were about 3 foot into growth nd i wanted to expriment on topping which i heard was good form of it, so i top 1 of them and left the other to see how different,. well at the end of it i compared them the topped 1 was about 4 and a half foot while the 1 not topped stood at 5 foot and had 1 long ass main bud, it was about 2 foot in height the main bud and nice dence and sticky an smelly ummmm exotic grape fruit/fuely deisely skunky aroma ummm anyway :P the topped 1 came out great aswell instead of havin 1 main bud site it had 2 which were full with bud but i reakon if i had left the topped 1 for another 2 weeks growing it would have been a much better way of growing it than just leaving it all in all the bud tasted the same from the both 2 plants so i was left with 3 lowryders whic were lovely smoke and 2 big ass nycd which in my oppionion is 1 of the best tasting and soaring high, weeds iv smoked even better then amsterdam :o anyway got about 2 oz's each from the 2 nycd's i just thought since im irish id share my exprience of growing the best plant on the earth with my fellow irish cannabis lovers if i get a way of posting the pics i have i will do :-) hope some1 reads this big ass message which took me ages as im high on some local smoke which would be power plant the good version, sticky nice smell good head high smooth smoke not the power plant everybody says its power plant and then u get it and its like dry lil tiny ass (nugs not even nugs) that taste like crap, also i have some chinesse as some irish know it as cabbage vietnesse or chinesse grown in ireland or england im sure...... and the finale big buddah chesse ooooo the taste lingere's hope some replys and tells me there expirence or even just what there smoking or have smoked recently :-)

early harvest doesnt always mean no mold, but it helps especially our with usual rainy octobers and the dropping temps

havent grown them myself but a fair load of uk growers are growing them this year ,all have a great rep

8.6 thc for the durban poison is very weak aint it ?

yes but a good yielder, would love to grow this one out myself, there are dud thc phenos and monster phenos

not sure what site your ordering from but on attiude dp mix and picks are all roughly around 9 euro and up,


instead you could grab a ten seed pack of kc brains 33/36

http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/kc-brains/cat_54.html

or two fem easy sativa

start keeping an eye out now for fox tails, make a tea out of them for flower and it does an amazing job for keeping mold away

Ok guys, i harvested my flower power last night, will put pics up later. Not a great yeild, i didnt bother weighing it wet, but the buds do look nice. Id say if i get 18- 20gr ill be lucky. The smell in the house this morning is yummy...

And was up in the attic last night and there is a major smell from the amnesia lemon already at 3 weeks. The cheese is looking great. Will take a couple of pics later.

Been looking at a few strains for my next grow. I already have a barneys blue cheese but think i am going to get 2 chocolopes from DNA, has any had any experience with them??

Begosh, begorra and howya! :-) Irish grower here from the south, newbie to both growing and the forum! I haven't read through this thread yet but I hope I'll find a lot of like minded neighbours :-)

I got 5 fem Short Rider autoflower seeds from Nirvana at the start of the month and my plan was to grow 2, 2, 1 (for personal use) & try my hand at cloning. That plan did not go accordingly. The first 2 didn't pop (via germination kit), the second 2 did (paper towel) but died a few days after. I have no idea why. I germed my final seed on April 13th - all's going well except her stem is quite weak so I've just this evening topped up the soil to just under her first set of leaves. I'm using a 125w dual spec (red/blue) CFL bulb. My guess is she was stretching as the bulb was about a foot above her but I've readjusted to a few inches above now.

My only concern is the temp - that close to the plant the temp is near 30oc. Is that ok? I know I need to invest in a small oscillating fan to mimic wind, my thinking is that will help with temp too?

you need to get the light as close to the plant as you can and get a small oscillating plant on your seedling to strengthen the stem, if its not able to hold its own weight then use a small stake and gently tie it too it. it should be fine then. wont be 30 with a small fan, also try to get a it of fresh air in.
dont know why your others died on you, as soon as you saw a quarter inch root from the seed did you plant in seedling soil about 3mm below the top soil?
welcome to the forum and good look with the one you have now.
picked up some barneys laughing buddha and sweet tooth today, both look nice plants only downside is flowering time on the buddha, but ill say it will be worth it. skunk is finished now so im going to chop it! got a big yield off that one.
later

jingle you should get into head shop, those two packs of feminized only cost me 50, proper bargain but i think they are selling out, most of the stuff is goin.
