The Irish Growers Thread!

love them cali strains but there going a bit mental with there hybrids i feel... lots of hermi and self pollination etc but when there good there really good i guess..

not that the breeder really a factor for me, the plant stats are my thing if there about where i need them to be i give them a go...

that said, phillips bulb in the lamp, not pleased with it at all, 600w but meh not feeling it... had a cheap ass one for ages cant remember the brand.. best bulb ever... should have got 3 but at the time i tought its only a temp till i get a good one in the grow shop..

recommendations...??? swithing back to the dimmable ballast aswell, going fire in a mh for a veg period.. meant to fire up at 18/6 today but the egg hunt went on forever...
Stop, the flavours coming out of LA are ridiculous now! Yeah, I guess as they get released it's a process of stabilising them that takes time to develop. I've heard a lot of Gorilla Glue crosses hermi, but that's because the original GG#4 was a herm.

Hmmm bulbs aren't my forte tbh, I've only ever grown with Panel LED's and Cob. Small space means HPS cooks them for me. I use to sell a lot of them though, the Lumii Black Lamps, for the price are meant to be serious though. That'd be what I'd look at anyway.

@mofo dont know how i missed the post on the males, cuntish when they go that way but regs have to be tried, you get some absolute stunners out of them....

have a few ballasts and bulbs, some way too old but i`m a hoarder that way cant part witht them, have a few ballasts going to start these off under the dimmable then light a lumi one for flower , both are 600w, just wasnt happy with the phillips bulb, nugs are fine but not as compact as you`d like, small complaint i know, could be down to more than just the bulb aswell, but for my concience to be at ease i place the bllame squarely on the bulb...

even tho i did neglect them too much, got stretch to the max, late potting up, late watering ..list goes on hahahaha..

whats the plans for the day lads??? would love to chill but family duty calls again, and even tho this girl scout cookie will get me through... lovely daytime smoke...

Im prob gonna pop one outside, maybe the auto critical + 2.0 from dinafem.
Neighbours got a couple autos planted too, red poison, green poison, quick one, white widow and northern lights.
I reckon nows the time to start autos, they'll do the majority of their flowering in june and july best chance of decent weather

Just what I was thinking myself. Dutch passion have a 2 for one deal going atm so I went with them. I have been looking at some of the dinafem stuff too. There xxl strains. Though I do have a bag seed going I dont think Im going to bother with normal plants anymore over here, September October are waaay to unpredictable and cold ha. The summer months are just as fucked but at least your getting the 16-18 hours of daylight. Planning on transplanting them into 40l pots when there a few couple of weeks old.

Yea a couple places had 420 sales on, id already stocked up tho lol.
Ive a dinafem auto amnesia xxl in the veg tent, 16 days old and off to a flying start. After mr canucks results I had to give it a go!
Popped the critical + 2.0 in some soil yesterday, gonna let it sprout and then pop it in the nighbours greenhouse. Clocked 32c in there yesterday.
I dunno if 40l is overkill for an auto? The amnesia xxl I have is recommended between 15-30l. Depends on the Strain and setup tho

As far as I know they can grow a meter or so tall, bigger the better I think. Bigger root mass, bigger plant. On the dutch passion site they say use 20+. Might as well double it.

Best making some oil with your kief first if you want to make a vape juice. I have tried to make some vape juice with an oil i made using leaf and bud using the QWISO method to extract and couldnt get a good infusion between the two. I read also that a micro filter or winterisation should be used to remove lipids and waxes from the extract as they mess up vaporizers.

I did a dry ice shake with a 180 micron bag

I have about 100g of kief from buds. I made some hash out of it. It was very heavy and body stoned.

So from what I've been reading and confirming is

Wash is with isopropyl alcohol the filter it through coffee filters

The evaporate the alcohol

I gave a two litre juggs if 50/50 vg pg so I'll pour that in to the jar put a lid on it and put it a pot with slow boiling water for about three hours to decarb it and I should get something I can vape. There's a lot of should so I'll let ye know how It works out. By my calculations I should get a litre of juice that should be pretty strong

Growing auto northern lights from nirvana this year, also have Ice and cookies kush which I'm a bit reluctant to grow outdoors with the climate we have. Any tips and tricks for growing northern lights outdoors in Ireland ?

I have a tunnel got. I have 5 seeds do you think I'm better of to grow them close together or apart. Also off the top of your head how long will it take from seed to harvest and roughly how much would my yield be?
