hey.

good to be here. this place has been a real bonus for info

miles behind the techy knowledge of most people.

way i look at it is the stuff is a weed. you'd really have to funk it up to kill it!

ahhh, there is a whole thread, no board, on its own about what footy players get paid!

80m for a player is a feck load of cash. but, looking at it another way, lets say he is in the top 6 people in the entire world who can do what he can do. he's literally one in a billion! :-)

you guys grow from seeds or clones? is cloning as easy as it sounds? and you top, or FIM or nothing?

(see, told you i was getting addicted to this stuff - toooo much information!)

do you top?

if you top a plant after a couple of nodes, but with a couple of nodes above the cut as well, could you clone that?

seeds for new strains, clone the nice ones. cloning can be a bitch till you get it down. best advice is get a heated propagator! i top n pinch to maximise output.

The only time i messed up big was taken lots of clones from 1 plant ''big mistake'' i had 10 Blueberry growing and the one i took clones from was a male, the other 9 were fems, lol just bad luck, but i took all the clones from what was the best looking plant, just a lesson i guess, i used to know a swedish lad he was cool as fuck at growing, he done 15 plants one time they looked wicked, yipp 15 males lol nothing in this game is 100% unless you clone from a known female, we all learn, and you can never know to much.

I dont top, the 2 point that grow is not always going to give you more than the one that was growing, plus the plant has to repair and recover IMO, the only thing ill ever do is trim the lower down stuff if it looks like its not going to amount to anything, so if its not worth being on the tree i remove it. again its just my view, we all have diffrent ways in getting the best from our crops.

well, we have 8 seeds left, so might just use these up and get good at making the best of these - experiment with topping etc.

we have two on the go at the moment, A.M.S and lemon skunk. next time, i think we will just do one plant, but top it and see what happens.

also, think we might leave the plant to grow normally for a week or two, outside the grow tent, so as soon as we harvest the current crop we can whack the new one in.

as i say, i am very excited by all this....i feel like a kid with a new toy. just a new toy that takes months to put together. and isn't a crap jigsaw.

yeah, this is what i am getting from this place - there are no hard and fast rules.

i have been told to cut a few leaves from my AMS plant, but that sounds scary to me. they dont look great, but they are still pretty green and must be adding to the plant in some way.

but it's been suggested i cut them off to give the leaves below more light.

sounds scary to me!

Its all in what you read ive been at it almost 10 years and i still read daily, you cant beat the dutch for info those guys know their onions, and thats not just with weed, even flowers etc they are very good at what they do.
2 rules for you dude, tell no cunt what you do, if you get busted its because of you, yipp you told someone and so did they etc etc, its always you who starts it first, and youl be last one it comes back to to deal with it when it goes wrong,
And dont order seeds to same address you are growing, pc's do get removed these days for all the information they hold, you do go on mailing lists etc, and dont think for one minute seed companies dont have anything to do with growing weed, ''how do you think they got into selling seeds'' use your head ok, send them to a cool friends house where nothing is going on.

funk sending them anywhere....i'll just buy them in amsterdam. i usually go to a music festival a year, and often in belgium or holland.

i don't grow much, don't want to, so if i buy ten, twenty seeds, that'll do me a year probably! and if i clone them, hoping i won't need to order any again.

and as for telling people, agree 100%. tough thing is going to be when my mates who smoke ask me to get them some! this is for me and my two other mates - that is it!

wow. that looks good.

is that a normal plant, without topping etc? i am really a kid at this - been a consumer for the past 15yrs, never a producer!

me and my mates have been trying to work out how much to try and grow. we literally only want to grow enough to sustain us between grows. all this grams/sq meter thing is confusing. why don't people tell you roughly per plant? i am sure there are reasons, i don't understand them!

way we have been looking at it is this.

down our way, we haven't got a £20 bag that is more than 2.5 grams for ages and ages. if each plant manages 125 grams each, which i hope is underestimating things, that is 250 grams, which is about 100 deals, which is 33 each. even at more than one a week, that is half a year!

now, i am sure someone will turn around and say we are never going to get that much from our plants, but if i can get a bag of weed a week until the next lot, ideal.

if we get good at yields etc, we will just grow less.

i won't be dealing any! risk vs reward - it don't make sense to me.

i've not bought any for weeks, since we started the grow, and don't plan on it.

i have managed for this grow, so far, without needing any, so whatever we get at the end of this one will definitely do until the next lot. and like i said, if we get more than we thought, we just won't start the next grow.

to be honest, until i started reading all the stuff on here, we were making it up as we went along.
