nice plants rob19791,why did you put them under cfls for half the time?

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

cheers Don I spray them every few days when lights go out...dunno if it does anything but it gives me peace of mind haha ;p
I upload vids everyweek so il stick my new ones on here....only 5 weeks until they are finished....i cant wait, this is my most ambitious grow...7 plants...they look considerably better than my last cheese plant.
My last grow was a shamble lol, had no carbon filter, was growing in a cupboard, and had kitchen fitters in lol. I live in a flat....the entire block STUNK of my cheese plant haha SERIOUSLY lucky not to get caught!!!!
Since then i have cleaned up my act so to speak lol
This grow already has buds bigger than what i yielded on my last grow...think the pure 12hr under a 600w HPS helps, last grow i put it under cfl's for 6 hours and 6 hours HPS....really not worth doing

hahah i think everyone started off in the ghettOOOOooooooo check the beginning of my journo i started out in an alcove painted white with a sheet over it using a home made liight setup screwed to a piece of chip board thing shocked me more than a few times haha

yeah cfl's are like candle light when you switch up to a 600 hps eh

Fish tank supplies are allways good

Hey! I'm new here, been stalking for a few weeks gathering research and stuff.

I'm an East London closet grower! Started my 1st grow on sunday 20th June, from seeds (bag seeds unfortunately for practice XD, also brought 2 critical mass and 1 white widow seed which im saving for when i know a bit more)

Currently running an NFT system, made entirely out of old fish tank pumps fittings etc. with 4, 45 watt plant growth fluorescents 'till i get paid and can buy some proper lights.

Any hints and tips would be very much appreciated!

[W Dragon]

hey sambo how's things mate?
that's a long time to be stoned sounds like a winning recipe lol
what you reckon on the ppp then mate is she a keeper? looks like i'm gonna need to get more beans the cloning thing didnt go to well i pet the light to close and they kept growing for the most part i dumped a load thinking they were dead and they had rooted so i left a few to see how they go but i think i'll be needing more, never mind lesson learned
also out of the 10 hdf looks like i got 3 females and i dumped a few of the chronic and only kept the best 6 so come up short there aswell lol

alrite dragon hows ya doing m8?

yeah that cake was the bollax, it messed me up lol the ppp i got seems really nice but she didnt yield very good just under 2oz n the buds werent all that big just loads n loads of little bits proper crappy to trim but she smokes lovely n i have barely even started to cure it, has a really nice slightly spicey flavour.

you only got 3 hdf fems out of a 10 pack? still ya only need 1 good 1 n clone from there, im gonna be needing to buy seeds soon had a major falling out with the person i get clones from but fuck it he aint got no strains i couldnt just buy online was just the easiness of it, am gonna just go for skunk#1 or northan lights something 7-8wk flower time n only stable established strains.

i'm good cheers mate not much happening my end it's been a quiet few days, yeah only 3 fems out of 8 i put 2 in the greenhouse because they were slower than the others i'm gonna take some clones off them 2mo and see if either of them are fem but i think it'll be an exercise for the sake of it coz even if they are female i'm not sure they'll be keepers they look lovely but they were slower out of the gate than the others so we'll have to see, i been looking at nl and skunk#1 aswell ceres seeds have some pretty big claims when it comes to gram per watt but i'll be trying them i'm thinking do away with seeds and look for that 1 good mother i'm also thinking sog rather than big plants and just aim for a load of top colas if i get a decent pheno out of the hdf i'll try it with that first to see how it goes,
also thought i had my hands on some exodus cheese a lad i buy green off swore his mate had it and offered to be the go between he said he wanted £20 each for them so i said crack on and get me a couple i went to meet him to have a look and it was obvious the guy was trying to pull a fast 1 looked and smelled nothing like it, it looked more like my hdf with massive leaves but no smell what so ever and the bud that was supposed to come from it was shit so had to send him back with them robbing little scrotes

I've never heard of UK cheese being in Wales. But if you do get any, I would be interested in buying some clones off you.

The thing with UK cheese is that because you can't buy the seeds from a reputable retailer, even if you think you have it, you don't know if you really do.

i know mate i already had those thoughts i was expecting to get shown some diff cheese like big buddahs or something along those lines but from what i can tell it has it's own look and smell i grew out big buddas so i'll know if i get shown that but at the mo it looks like another dead end it seems like for the most part every1s either growing shit or some type of kush down my way i suppose home growers change strains like the high st does fashion, to be honest mate i don't think i'll have a lot of luck down here because there's 2 many theiving little bastards that simply don't care what they grow or sell and the last lot i looked at was laughable i can just imagine some poor bastard thinking he got the original just to find out it's not even a cheese the really did look like my heavy duty fruity and the bud was awful safe to say i won't be arranging anything else with them, so the hunt continues
