The Irish Growers Thread!

It's a 110w AE, but with postage would bring the cost to £67A better option would be http://www.grotec.co.uk/Lighting, if you scroll down a bit you should see a cuttings lamp with 2 55w bulbs for £40, and grotec will do shipping for cheap, I always use them for all my grow stuff, top notch service and much cheaper than buying from shops here.

evening har, hows the babys comeing along?

One of the skunks and the one AK look like runts, but the 3 Big Bud and 4 other Skunks are doing well tho, and maybe the runts will catch up.

 

[ae86 grower]

my runt never caught up, was going to put her outside but it was cold at night and i left it too long, shes showing hairs now soi`ll let her, go...

worried about light penetration to lower sites on two of the 4 big ones the other two have there sites on long stems raiseing up to the light, the two bushy ones have bud sites all down the stem and the lower ones i think will suffer, so its either loose one plant to make room or loose weight in the yeild off them all?


if that makes sence?

 

[Harrekin]

Plant numbers don't really matter as much as even coverage does, Id personally stick to approx 100w per plant. If you're still using CFLs I'd say bin the runt, it you have the space and the light then just grow them out...I'll have 1200w of flower power soon, so I'll be growing all of mine to the end

 

[ae86 grower]

i was hopeing you wern`t going to say that but yeah i think its best to sacrafice one for the good of the many....


its still a little cold at night so i might put her out and bring her in at night, i`ve been doing this for the summer crop, there in pots a week i think or little more haven`t the patience to go back through the pages and see, there only showing there first true set so long ways to go before there ready to have clones taken, might fire them inside for a week or so to bring them on a bit, need to have them healthy enough to have 10 clones taken from each in about 3 weeks....

1200w..... whats expected yeild?

i`m estimating a little over an oz dry from each girl... there or there abouts will do me fine.

Considering the Big Bud (ment to be unreal yielder) and the 4 others I'm hoping for about 20-30 ounces, should keep me going for a while cos I'll have to shut down the grow for a month or two after this spin...it's a pain in the arse but whatever.

EDIT: I'm planning on making hash with a chunk of it, hence the need for big yields.

 

[ae86 grower]

with a yeild like that could you not just use the keif for hash? must be some premo solid if you makeing it from buds?


raises a question, how much do you smoke, vape however you smoke? i`d go through a oz possibly oz in a week, thats an oz of the usual street bought, 2 grams of good homegrown would maybe last 3 days?

 

[Rory Gallagher]

really cant wait to harvest so i can smoke a oz a week also

send me a pm 86 & will sort out them seeds

 

[ae86 grower]

why do i watch stoner films when i have no weed, pick of destiny is on and its shit when not stoned...

I'd probably smoke about a zip a week too, if Iv homemade hash its far far less, and when you run your nugs through the bags you get about 10% - 15% max, so 10 ounces of bud would only get you an ounce to 1.5 zips of hash.

 

[ae86 grower]

think i`d keep the 10 oz of weed to be honest... but the again its been years since i had really good hash, love that heavy smoke off it, you know the kind you feel right at the top of your lungs..

Have you ever smoked full melt bubble hash? It's so pure it doesn't even leave a residue on your bong screen/ash in the ashtray. Roll up two strips in a joint like Squidgy and you're sorted.

The smoke is super heavy but still really smooth, especially if it's fully fully dried.

Honestly I'd recommend the cheap 1L bags off EBay (I think they were €23 shipped), they fit nicely in a small round bathroom bin and do about an ounce of trim at a time...even if you only get 2 or 3 grams a run it's still awesome stuff, it's like having a naggin bottle of Russian vodka versus Tesco Value Vodka when you compare weed to homemade hash.

read stories about lads makeing hash on the keif screen, and it still leaves the keif dry to be put back in the saleable bud bags....

The problem with the dry-sieve method is alot of tiny bits of leaf and other little green bits and pieces get through the screen, whereas because I use freshly frozen bud/trim and use the bubble bags my product initially comes out a nice silver/golden colour that gradually on the outsides turns brown whilst the inside stays a nice white/creamy colour.

Its truely the finest way to smoke and is pretty much a growers-only privilidge.

Lets just say if a friend wanted to buy some of mine (they wouldn't know I grew it), I'd want €100 a gram or I'm not selling it (which 99.9% of the time means people stop hassling you )
