The Irish Growers Thread!

[thefirstgrow]

hi
the have all the diffrent strains on there sight, but only send out one strain! Same as there feminized has half males in it, as they do not reply to emails unless your asking how to pay, you could say is a rip off.
Lots people paid and got nothing, I bought white widow, himalian gold, and super silver haze all feminized. Half of them was male, at the price i woulnd not have worried, but was my first grow and was just lucky I did no what a male looks like or would have rounded my whole crop.
They have been going for 3 months and i do have some flowers after 5 weeks of 12/12 but they are the size of a thinger tip. Also all look exactly the same strain, just hope in few weeks they will be finished and will be worth my time and energy spent I would strongly advice people to buy from a good well nowon name, this was wast of 3 months

Also they have no name address or phone number on there sight, so should have seen was a scam. But I got there details up by googling (who is domain name)anyone wanting therightstrains.co.uk aka cannabisseeds.com just message me and i will give you there full address and phone number, and name of the owner

all best and keep growing

hi guys
thanks for the replies in regard to me worrying over silly little things but at this stage i just dont want anything going wrong, i have had the plants on 12/12 for about 5 days now but now showing any signs yet . i think what i will do is leave the plants on 24 hr light and then switch to 12/12 so they are warm enough during the day. that way as you (jack angel! and che paddy!) pointed out i will be saving money and the plants will be warm. i am going up to get a fan today for them as i have not had one yet. they dont need it for the stems because they are very strong, some of the plants you see on here do be very kind of thin but the ones i am growing are very chunky which i hope is a good sign.
i hope after all this they are not males!. i am using a very small bit of nutes now, the only thing is it does not have any trace elements so is there one which you guys can recommend which i can buy in banq or woodies?
i must upload some pics today, 2 of the plants are coming along very well but 1 of them is a bit droopy. dont know what the story is cos i treat it the same as others, i dont have any favourites.
do you think that a fan is very important because my stems are strong or is it really for making the plants feel they are in the wild, i read somewhere that its for getting rid of waste off the leaves is that right?
sorry for going on so long i always never know when to shut up.
thanks again for all your help fellas.
ps. i see the guards got a few plants seized today, why is it all the little scumbags are grassing up people growing a bit of weed and then the people selling smack and coke are allowed to get on with business as usual, all grassers should have there nuts shoved up there ass, there legs tied behind there nutless corpse and then fired from a clown cannon into a cement wall with nails sticking out of it! and thst too good for em.

hope everything turns out ok for you man, i am ordering some soon, i asked on her where to get my seeds which is always best to do. then you know if people have had good experience or not, thanks for letting us know that they are shit anyway, at least i know one place not to try anyway. its disgusting you only got one strain and then thay wont do anything for you is a joke. hopefully you get something out of it and next time you order you should have better luck going with one of the sellers these guys on here recommend as they really know what they are on about on here. you cant put a price on experience.

Hey buddy

Id always advise a fan for air circulation. Doesn't matter how thick the stems are its always good to have a fan blowing across them. Keeps air circulating so they can get more Co2 in through the leaves. Whole idea of indoors is recreating a perfect enviroment and there is wind in nature so you need it in the cab. Regarding the droopyness that can happy. Shes probably just having a bad day like most women. Regarding the nutes I'd advise using a cannabis specific nute. I understand woodies or B+Q nutes probably have the same stuff inside I just prefer using stuff from a hydro show where you can get feeding schedules and also see other people experience. I use Canna Nutes for my present grow but have Fox Farm nutes ordered from America for my next go. Not sure where your based but should be a hydro shop not too far from you.

Saw those raids up in Meath yesterday. Not nice to see anyone getting raided but those were 3 full grow houses set up for commercially growing and making profit for a Vietnamese gangs. There was over a thousand plants through 3 houses. Id prefer to see everybody growing at home than criminals making money off stoners. Vietnamese will probably just add a load of sand to add weight and make money. Funny reading the paper though and the bullshit propaganda they print

I bought a second hand fan today, thing is way to strong and noisey, even on No 1,
Wonder would I be able to fit a light dimmer switch on it...? Any sparkeys out there...??

I see the weather for the weekend is nice, think this will be the last hurrah for this year..

You can but it must be motor rated.

hey che paddy
i went up to buy a fan there yesterday and searched everywhere but they were all either sent back to the shop warehouses or not in stock. i am going to get one anyway, now that i know why they are needed thanks to your good self. i have had them on 12/12 for about a week and the biggest plant i have has shown 2 tiny white hairs so im crossing fingers shes a lady. they are only about 30 days old and the largest one is a foot and a half now so i was hoping she was a girl (grown very quick), the seeds came from a bag of blue cheese so im hoping thats what they are!
as for the commercial growers i thought it was a small time gang(one of our own), never even heard anything about the bloody vietnamese so your right in saying that they get what they deserve. only thing is the stuff we are buying over here seems to be getting smaller shitty bags of dirt. i dont even think they weigh it anymore, more a case of ohh that looks like it feels the tiny bag nice,not!
thanks for the info, hope yours are growing well and ill have to look into the nutes.
cheers

Theres a few nordies that stop by every now and again. Not shure if they are doing outdoor.

I do a bit ofthe outdoor in lenster. Doubt of theres much of a climite differnce between north and south. I would say go for it mate.

thanks mate theres no difference atall from north and south except all the arseholes up here lol and the cops more tricky. i do lve on the coast though and get alot of salty sea air so ill have to go inland a bit i think. have you ever grown autos outside? if so what sort of yield did you get per plant?

 

[Jay_normous]

Would the sea air be that bad?

 

[Jay_normous]

You can but it must be motor rated.

Thanks mate but not sure what you mean, the motor is 50w, I was just worried it might burn out.
I'm currently running 2 .. 120v fans off a dimmer, poor things have hardly stopped since 1985...!!!

Congratulations buddy. Light up a fat cigar. Your the daddy to a sweet little blue cheese girl. Sounds like we're not too far from each other cause there was a lot of blue cheese home grown floating around for a while. Those little hairs are what you want. They are the pistils that a female produce as opposed to a males balls. Starts to get exciting from here. They should now stretch like fuck and start piling on the hairs. Make sure to keep lights as close as possible so they dont stretch too much and you get nice close nodes for flowering. Obviously raise them as you need. Have you got a journal going? Id be interested in taking a look..

Most of those grow houses are now run by Vietnamese gangs. They rent 3 or 4 bedroom houses and kit them out completely. Then they paid asian guys a tiny amount to keep them. Seen it happen a good bit in England too. You right about the bags getting smaller too. Id nearly prefer not to smoke than buy some of the crap thats going around. Amazing when you give homegrown to someone who usually buys crap. Blows the head off them.

Thanks for the kind words on the grow. Do stop in and have a look. Links in my sig

I guess it work's fine on a dimmer so. You see with a motor it pulls a little higher wattage on start up, when its running the wattage is balanced out and it run's at normal rate.

 

[Richie LxP]

Right lads heres another few snaps of the hollands hope, purpling up nicely now

Im hopeing the weather keeps up as the calyx's are realy starting to bulge out at this stage. YaY!

Never smoked any purple shit so i cant wait to puff a few nugs of this shit up

Hope it smokes as good as it looks.

 

[luciferateme]

hey che paddy
yes i know what you mean about it getting exciting, me and the other half are always going up to check on them, the lady is a good bit further on than the other two but they were all planted on the same day (sep 8th). its funny because she seems to be getting bigger every day and the others are growing a bit slower. i did not do a journal because with it being my first grow i did not expect any results really, i thought it was going to be a good test run to see what mistakes i would make. but fingers crossed i seem to be doing things nearly good enough except for the fan bit, but that is put right now. i cant wait to see if the other two turn out to be females aswell, it would be great if they did.
i know what you mean about the blue cheese being abundant for a while so we must be near enough alright, i think on the next grow i will do a few things different. i will post pics up later so if you could have a look because i dont know if to put the plant back into veg or just let it flower. not sure what to do.
thanks again for all your help.
its good to know there are people there who have more experience willing to help.
cheers
