I have never been issued a contract(most of the staff havent, the staff that have been issued them nothing in regards to this is mentioned) but there is nothing about it in my Statement of particulars or the company staff handbook, also there is no information/ notices to staff my line manager can provide to me that mentions the subject either way

If you have a staff handbook and a statement of particulars then that combination is what forms your contract, I had the same at the casino.

Also we are supllied with mapreaders so if anything surely it should be THEIR responsibility to provide maps/sat-nav if not the companies as they are supposedly responsible for all navigation

Dude what's a mapreader when it's at home?

I can read a map but have never heard of one.

i know the photo on the web has been edited but was only asking what temps would make berry bomb or blue type breeds turn a blue colour as i believe this to be possible, ive grown blueberry before and it never turned anything like a blue colour. so are you saying its the temp at root level that affects colour? i thought it would of been the temp inside the room/tent that would affect this?

anyway thanks all the same for the input will look into the ice thing, its not something i need to happen but would make the end product a bit more attractive.

i think u can make em go red with cold temps,, how many grows u done lad>? i hope yourexperianced to be trying this typo shit

 

[rollajoint]

Not every plant is going to turn colour at cold temps which pheno will determine a lot weather it will change colour . Yea cold temps will help but if it ain't the rite pheno it won't .

basically a Drivers mate, but the company calls them mapreaders

 

[neckpod]

don't really know how many grows i done but been growing for about 8 years now, Only basic shit though no hydro just do in compost, i did try canna cocco i think it's called but never got a good crop from it so went back to compost.

sorry about some of my typo shit like i said before new to all this so please be understanding.

not to bothered about them turning blue it just interested me that's all! I'd much rather get quality bud than fuck it up trying to change to colour.

will dropping the temps stunt growth or stress the plants?

oh and in work so reply's may take a while. Fucking work!!!

Purple is genetic, blueberry isn't necessarily blue tho. So your not guaranteed purple or blue.

Livers or blues has that deep greeny blue most of the year. Tho cold will make it purple.

id doubt many people would have actually tested at what precise temp a sometimes purple strain shows colour to be honest.

For a start if you want to make 'Blueberry' turn Blue/Purple you need to make sure you have proper Blueberry not just some randomer label but......

"Other than green, purple is the most common color in living marijuana. Triggered by seasonal temperature changes (just as trees change color in the fall), the vibrant hues of the mature pot plant are also the result of genetics and the creativity of the cultivator or breeder.

Indoors and outdoors, color can be influenced by deficiencies as well as by temperature. The intense green of chlorophyll usually overpowers other colors, such as red, orange and the coveted purple. Chlorophyll tends to break down late in the season, and a pigment known as anthocyanin is unmasked and allowed to show through.

For purple color to develop upon maturation, a strain must have the genetic potential to produce anthocyanin pigments. However, the color might never be shown if environmental conditions don’t cause chlorophyll breakdown. Colombian and Hindu Kush strains tend to develop purple coloration when subjected to low night temperatures during the end of their life cycles. Purple Orangutan, originally from Afghanistan with heavy traits of the Hindu Kush, produces some of the darkest purple and blue tones found in any marijuana strain.

Another pigment called carotenoid is largely responsible for the yellow, orange, red and brown colors of marijuana. These colors begin to show in the leaves and calyxes of certain strains as the green chlorophyll color fades. Gold strains reveal underlying yellow and orange pigments as they mature. Red strains are usually closer to reddish brown in color, though certain carotenoid and anthocyanin pigments are nearly red, and streaks of these colors occasionally appear in the petioles (the slender stems supporting the leaflets) in ripe flowers. The red color in pressed, low-grade tops often consists of masses of reddish-brown dried pistils."

Purple is genetic

I think I have underestimated the smelly fingerez Don.

The bottom half is still putting out white pistils at 10 weeks today, fucking slowly mind but it's still going as is the other little one (weeks left).

As`all the pistils on the tops had gone orange and the trichs where all cloudy white I cut the feed and let the plant die back a bit before chopping the tops.
After observing the bottom I've had to feed it up again so that it can finish properly, I think that it is actually a lot longer finisher than I thought and that the trichs would actually take ages to maybe degrade.

The other little one has a very sativa bud structure, small buds but made up huge airy calyx that are really frosty. Some of the calyx are as big as peas, it's got ages left.

I think I'm going to have to reassess the situation this next time round, don't feed as heavy and cut later so it finishes when it should.

Isn't "proper" blueberry a lime green and more about blueberry as in the fruit flavour n smell, than it is a blue colour lol

Not that I think the real mcoy is still about nowdays, even dj shorts seeds have been taking a slating for a longtime.

As for dp blueberry well I won't waste me fingers txting bout that shite.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

It should have a greyish tinge to it, not exactly blue but not green either.

There's shitload's of crosses stemming from DP's though and that's why I mentioned proper, like you said it's unlikely.

Afternoon guys,

@sae, I was self employed for a number of years and travelled all over the UK with the locations changing daily, we supplied our own sat-navs but they were responsible for supplying the A-Z's if needed, we tried getting them to pay for our sat-navs but they wouldn't have it mate, their reason was simply an A-Z will last years, won't break down and won't charge them for updates lol I also have a sneaky feeling that they were thinking that the passenger should be doing something as they were paying for our travel time so why not get some work out of the passenger.
I tried the whole why should I be buying maps in the arse end of nowhere and the response was simple- we'll print off directions leading you to the door so you don't have to stop, but the truth of it is they just don't want to have to rely on something that's easily broken/stolen and will charge them every 12months to update, Bottom line mate A-Z's are cheap and last years doesn't come with maintenance costs and also if you screw up you can't blame it on faulty electronics, A-Z's don't breakdown.

[Don Gin and Ton]

Yorkie 10+ Weeks flower must come from SLH side the smelly cherry is 8-9 tops. Throwbacks from hazes I like. Tho good phenos are seemingly harder to find in my experience. See what comes of the 3 I've just put in. I'll probably pollinate with smelly cherry again.

I'm well sick, went all over town trying to find bits n bobs to do my dwc bucket and come away with a packet of markers my lass wanted. 2 plumbers merchants had no heatproof metal tape. The home brew shops closed down.

Pure waste of an afternoon off.
