The Irish Growers Thread!

yeah it feels lie the latter the first time you do it, like you have a plant thats say 3/4 feet tall at say 7 or 8 nodes then you chop her at the 5th one, but when you see the results you will use the technique again, and again and ......

super cropping is also good and its as simple as pinching the branch to "open up" the canopy allowing the light to get to the lower bud sites and upping the yeild a few grams, and after all the time you put into them every gram counts right!!!!

best ting about topping tho is you get a couple of colas instead of just one....

hahahahaha has created a few of them hahahaha, get that girl into a bigger pot, should go hempy with it, its simple, get say an old paint pot, you now the 20 liter plastic ones and drill hole 2 inchs from bottom, fill to hole level with stone, can use pea stone, aquarium stone hell even stones from about the garden this creates a little res, sprinkle a little soil over it, place plant in center and fill around it and up to the base of growth, it don`t matter if the plant doesn`t reach the top of the pot, you can fill it to the top once it gets up over it, the idea behind it is the roots have constant food/water, you can flush easy and it gives great growth rates too, saves going hydro if you like the soil like me....

 

[ae86 grower]

right so lads, i`m out, catch you lot tomorrow...

 

[Jay_normous]

Welcome back AE..!

 

[ae86 grower]

thanks jay, how all your end? you got any gardening on the go....??? you planning any outdoor this year..

 

[Jay_normous]

All good my end, finally got rid of my spider mites (I think)

Have a small perpetual grow consisting of 2 mothers.. OG Dead head and Liberty Haze.
I have a couple of Pure Power Plants that are finishing off to..

Ill try and put up a few pics... Really miss scroging..

think ill be buying some auto seeds soon for the summer..

 

[ae86 grower]

sorry about the quality i`m no photographer thats for sure....

as you can see we have proper ventilation this time round with the addition of a chimney, the type used for oil burners has a cowel on top and all so no or very very little weather gets in, had to drill a hole in the roof and hit the mesh so it needs a little tidying on one edge but it worked out fairly neat, have to paint and tidy up a little but shes almost there, re shuttering the roof was the right thing to do in the end its snug as a bug now so should be the last time the condensation is like rain indoors...

end week 2 of 12/12 tomorrow and we have pistils shooting out on the tallest bubba, hard to tell from pic`s but one of the two is half the size and is useing about half the watering of the big sucker....

bastard on the mites jay, thank god i`ve never had them and hope i never do, how did you go about sorting them? did you have to clear out the grow spot completely or could you wor around it with neem oil....?

If you're in flower, you're fucked, you can't spray any of that stuff onto buds.

You can drench them in veg tho.

 

[ae86 grower]

thank fuck i`ve never had to deal with them har, can only imagine it would be a nightmare... how you been, long time since you been about..

I'm doing good AE thanks for asking. My run is doing ok, out of six I think only two maybe three will make it. Glad the bubba 76 is working out so well for you hope it rocks your ass when it comes down and cures! They look very healthy from the pics and judging from the skinny leaves on the bubba looks like you might have a sativa dominant one on your hands!

I will throw some pics up this weekend they are sleeping right now and I want to take the dying ones out before I take some pics.

Alright lads, day 53 of 12/12. So far all seems well enough. Had a little bit of heat stress so have the lights raised to the top.
The two Laughing Buddhas are the first 4 pics and the rest are the Northern Lights
Good to have you back ae, anything on the go in your garden

Man looks like white strains with all the frost and white coming through the pic, good job man!

 

[ae86 grower]

Yeah its daylight for a couple more hours my kids will wake up in a few minutes, I have them awake under the light for mostly night time.

Oh the co-op is going great, got about 8oz off the last one and this one should be the same, more chernobyl and one green crack and they are tall looking like giraffes. the patients are happy so that is all that matters. my buddy who runs the co-op is an expert grower and is sitting on about 18oz all together but he makes caramels with the butter he makes, I help sometimes when his family isn't around, I just hate trimming all the bud when its done but i get my fair share out of the deal an oz is my payment for helping.

check out this new davinci vaporizer, its expensive but damn is it revolutionary. Me myself I have the arizer solo portable and I love it and it is all I use. here is the link to the davinci http://www.davincivaporizer.com/ascentvaporizer--stealth/

here is the youtube link to the davinci ascent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfoc5-wfhnU

 

[ae86 grower]

i`ll be aiming for 6 to 8 oz myself with this grow, 20 litre hempys with a month veg should sort that out.. as for vapes well i`m strictly a three skin man, has to be rolled for me to enjoy it, as howard marks says....

speaking of which have you ever seen the movie "mr nice" its a uk film about one of the biggest importers of his time..

 

[mdjenks]

I have not seen mr nice but will check it out for sure. To bad your not into portable vaporizers I can get about 15 hits off a small bowl like looking thing at the end.

this is what I have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72gxdADBGNE

 

[Jay_normous]

Looking in to a vape myself... It's just which way am I going to get the concentrate....??
