The UK Growers Thread!

I cant remember what I read about this excactly but ill try

If a plant is not showing signs of both sex (herm) at 2-3 wekk 12/12 then the plant is either a male or female genetically.

A female plant can produce nanners as a self preservation thing to protect the species when under stress. I thinks its the only plant found to do this that we know of

one seed company uses the nanners to produce fem seeds

I dont know if bad breeding can make a strain to produce nannars excessivly but a few nanners have never hurt me
oh i get you now! just not down with the 'lingo' yet lol

finally got some weed:blsmoke: its not amazing but theyre nice chunky buds and im rather lean so cant be too bad i suppose:joint:

basicly greenhouse dont cross and then back cross properly to breed out bad traits
its like yanks, when a yank sleeps with his sister an has kids there genes are damaged, then when that kid sleeps with his sister an she has kids there genes are even more fuckd up, so every time you bread bad genes with bad genes your gonna get bad genes.
the original owner of greenhouse left the company and took all his mother plants and seed strains with him so arjan the cock rushd the breeding process so they would have something to sell.
im kinda baked so this explantion is a bit shite but check it out on you tube theres a vid sumthin like "the truth about greenhouse seeds"
I seas I been growin plants that have three teeth a wobbly eye and a serious genetic problem

read that story about GHS and arjan etc......black widow white widow fuck nose, GHS are commercial so I would'nt be suprised of crap breeding

Before I heard any of this hermie prob with GHS there was never really a prob with my tomato's and still aint one now, might get some nannars mid-late flower say week 6-8 but not excsesively

you always get good and bad with all seed producers but if ya gonna buy seeds you might aswell do a bit of homework on the strain and company so as least you know wot your in for

out of your seed choice i like the look of the, nyc diesel & jack herer & might try the pineapple chunk in a grow or 3 as they do look good even tho there barneys

gotta agree with you on that point, I have grown tomatos from seed was a crap grow.

most turned out male, some herms and shit fems.

the enviroment was poor and cost more to run than to buy the tomatos from a green grocer ( temps n vents shit)

I have made my own seeds before and lowered the light cycle a hour a night till 12/12 outa about 40 tomato plants 2-4 where male.

I'm growing greenhouse fems, 3 Rhino 2 widow.
Thursday will be the start of week 12 (week 8 flower), last week i found naners on all 5 plant's no stress at all.
I thought i had done my research and thought i was buying from the best (greenhouse), bollocks to that i now think greenhouse are just in it for the money. Look at the packs for there seeds, pure marketing strategy (i should know my girlfriend has a masters in marketing).
Their white widow is shit, i have yet to smoke it as mine are not quite done yet but i'll tell you what, it aint fucking white! very very little resin production, smells lush but not white. The Rhino is frosty as hell though exactly what i expected, i will be getting some of Shantibaba's Black Widow from Mr Nice Seeds at a later date to prove the point to myself (the origional widow, cup winner), Arjan at greenhouse has won the right's to the name (if you pay attention to their website all GH strains are registerd trademarks!), which is a marketing strategy again. GH are the only guys that are legally allowed to call their shit 'White Widow'.
i heard on here somewhere that it takes 6 years of backcrossing to make a strain stable, that would explain the problems with newer crosses having genetic problems, GH Cheese clone for example came from Big Buddha in 2004 by the end of the year they had crossed it with skunk #1 and they were selling fem seeds,BOLLOCKS!
now think about how long their lemon skunk has been on sale and now think about their auto 'greenomatic', webbed feet and six toes me thinks!
If half of what GH do with new strains is possible then i would be banging out new hybrids like crazy.

BUT! they do have one thing in their favour, all GH seeds are guaranteed viable (100% germination rates) they have a policy that states if you germ your beans just like they tell you and they dont sprout you get a replacement!

like ya said its all about the money with greenhouse he,s done every marketing trick in the book the guys a prick, fuking king of cannabis wot a joke
i think you will be pleasently suprised with Shantibaba's Black Widow from Mr Nice Seeds this guy knows wot hes doing and does it properly i really wanna try a few of his original strains when i get room
as for greenhouses 1 redeming feature thats shite aswell i waited 2 1/2 months for a replacement of 5 fem cheese an as an apology thay sent me 2 of there advertisement patches an one of those was a second lol wot a bunch of jokers
id love to go to the dam just to giv that twat a smak in the mouth for everyone who,s had bad beans

Fucking fuckers, sorry to hear that man...that would be enough to get me worried.

I read you can make slow realsing nute cubes (paper cubes packed with nutes that disolve slowly)...also training than so they grow wide and bushy instead of bit fuck off ganja plants haha!

Have you been growing outside for a while? Any tips (watering esp)

anybody that has grown a lot of green outside in the uk, can you post up some pics (i dont really know how to pick a good location)...ie near streams? Or will there be enough mositure in the ground already?

snapped or eaten? :)

good monday UK! what a fucking cracker of a weekend eh? sunburnt as you like and LOVING it! went out for a bbq yesterday, lots of stellas, ciders, a bunch of blunts and joints (this bbq was half "funded" by my dealer, we're all kinda a big family) and then 2 bottles of jack daniels were produced, it alllllllllll went wrong. the very last thing i recall was 6:30, or maybe it was 6:24, someone said 6:24, next thing i know i'm staring a the cieling at home at 4am wide awake. i somehow covered a city on public transport, walked the 3 miles up the hill, sorted the flat out, had a bath by the look of it, got glasses of water, got changed, and went to bed. without recalling a second of this. i thought someone had driven me home and taken care of me, apparently i was thrown onto a bus and that was that.

i couldn't pull off a shaved head, i'd look a tit, but damned if i need a haircut, 5" hibbit curls, it's HOT

snapped for sure or the other 2 wouldnt have been intact if it was deer or rabbits. there were fresh footprints from about a week ago. god knows how he didnt spot the other 2!?!?

@imanoob this is my first effort outdoors. i used slow release nute pellet things from morrisons, watering is the tricky bit unless you want to be going back every few days, a stream near by is essential.

Time to get all Columbo man :D Booby traps n shit haha! I will check out my local morrisons for these slow release pellets you speak of...thanks for that!

Can you (be bothered?) to post up some pics of your outside grow...i dont want to steal your green honest haha! Just want to see somebodys setup so i can get an idea!
