Had to tip out the bottom of my rolling tray an smoke it tonight :( got 2 spliffs out of it but still it's bad, and it looks like that's the last of the green for a while:(
 
Hi Thanks for your reply , and yes i do plan on vegging under a diff light otherwise id have to flower to many plants at once and i dont want get nicked for intent to supply when im just getting my own smoke.

Odour and electricity usage & heat are my worries although ive seen many use 400w 600w and 1000w light systems and seem to be ok and also how many more W are added off the other items needed , fans etc ?

Its all very confusing but i no it will be worthwile in the end .

Also id cure my weed as you said ..no point going to these lengths to get a average smoke for the sake of a week or two ....maybe for my 1st go id move to free weed a little early but could cure the other 3

carbon filters work juet great, but only if you set it up propperly :)

as to 2 months between grows, well i'#d seriously sit down and re-think that one. that was initial plan. grow 4 plants, harvest, re-plant, smoke harvest repeat. the 2 month wait after my first harvest was actually well, more lik 4-5 months. 1 month germination/vegging, 8-10 weeks flowering, week drying, month curing.

the cure is optional, but heavily advised unless you enjoy harsh hits.

you might want to consider having a second area for vegging your plants (if i plain didn't read you saying this just slapo me a few times) so you can be getting new plants ready for flowering while the flowering cabinet is in use. then you would cut it down to about 10 week harvests, and then you could also stagger it so the tent is only half full of fully flowering plants, and then half way through their flowering cycle you add another lot so you then have 5 week turnarounds. although that might be a little extreme for a first time.

you're first grow should be nothing more than finnishing the grow, yeild and quality be damned, it's about nothing more than the experience, the learning curve, and looking at how the plants grow. after that first grow you'll have a lot more insight into how to grow better palnts and generally improve on yourself. :)

good luck

i'll agree on the cure. admitedly due to bagseedhermiemaleFUCKINGCUSNTSHITBOLLOCKSTWATSTICARSEFACE genetics i've only had 3 propper harvests, and with each it's almost the difference betwen one night while curing that just hits you. 2 weeks in and it's okish. next day it's something else. i found it rahter peculiar :lol:

anywas, best call it a night and get to bed for work, but wait, due to a staff party i could switch shifts, so tomorrow, due to the magic rota of tip top sais, i get to have a go whenever you fucking please day. i plan to get up at 10 and have a really good spliff and chill before work. and fore now a bath, cus why not!
 
lozac why do you pay 350 euros if you in the uk ? im about to start my outdoor grow too. what you planting? are you starting them inside first? i pay 20 on the 8th usually. but alot of the time its £10 a g.

ok guys just had a possible brain wave (thats wot happens after 2 many lines an a shit load ov stress of the missis an endin up sleepin on the setee or not sleepin as is more the case)
anyway a friend has a couple of plants ready for the chop so i was thinkin why not use his roots an couple of inch of stem an slice the roots of one ov my younger plants an splice my top onto his roots so il have a well establishd root system on a 3 week old plant i know this is done on roses an shit like that a lot of nurserys grow easy to grow roses for root stock an then transplant harder to grow roses to the root stock do you think it would work ? would it help growth ? is it even worth tryin ? or am i just off my face still ?
gotta admit tho it sounds like a good idea to me at the moment
can you think of any other problems except for the whole fukin lot dyin an me havin to start again lol

Av heard the jamaicans do that with there plants the man who I am friends with his brother is a big grower back in Jamaica an they do that an also pin fake flowers to them not sure y they do that for the well established roots I think but the the plant is at risk of infection maybe worth a try with 1 plant an watch the growth compared to ur others.
I think I remember him saying they use the roots of a tomato plant to do this

Another couple of months mate! Our little seedlings are only a couple of weeks old. I've called everyone I can think of to try and just get an 8th for today or an oz. Me and the wife go thru an 8th a day unless it's a Saturday, which it is... And we finish work at 1 so we would usually go thru more.

Hey Im not growing at the moment but last year I attempted to grow some Durban poison simple because I can never get any sativa strains in this part of the country ( Oxford )
unfortunatly the grow didn't go very well cuz I had no choice but to grow outside and it died pretty quickly. Can anyone ever get sativa in this country? Or has anyone ever tried growing it?
