Just want Xmas out the way now tbh actually finally does feel like its Xmas time in my house. Be glad when things go back to normal. Xmas is only good when you got kids otherwise its just a glorified Sunday roast lol.

you are definately over doing things if you spend that much time feeding your girls gary. i spend about 2 hours a week watering my three gardens.

i can't understand the reasoning behind taking your plants to the bath or sink to water them, they don't need much water to stay healthy and it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a filter.

i used to spend a lot of time tending to my girls but i learned they love being left alone even more.

m8 i hand water all 9 plants with 2ltrs each every 2days and i make the feed up individually for each plant depending on its needs, i have to take mine out the tent and either in bath or on a large tray in my room as ive no space to get into the tent to water at the back and with the airpots it get a bit messy at times so easier to pull them out. i dont have a filter on at the minute as my 4"one is too small for my 6" fan i got so will need to get a new filter asap but money is too tight right now, i just have ona blocks near the air outtake and around my house, seems to be doing the job for now, only time i smell anything is in my grow room which isnt really a problem for me. apart from feeds they get left alone i might look in on them once a day but i dont mess about with them much especially after flipping the lights.

well you'd be fucked doing 9 different strains on a wilma then lol.

if you stick to one strain and fuck the airpots off you could get away with making one feed per week in a butt then splash a 2l jug over them and call it a day, minimal work.

the exo will make your growing life a hell of a lot easier i guarantee.

i like this one, what is it? would kick arse in an sog style grow
thats a Purple paralysis from Cream of the crop seeds, this is my 1st time growing it but it has a nice sativa structure to it i think, got a clone of it vegging away and another 4 cut in the prop just now rooting, so will be keeping it going.

i love plants that don't waste time growing horizontally, you could fit 40 of them under a light with a bit less veg.

then you would be having a breakdown watering lol

yeah these fuckers wont stop gettin taller ive only got about a foot left before my light hits the top of the tent so im hoping they stop now and start filling out more with bud instead, otherwise im gonna need to start bending the bitches.

and 40!!! fuck that most i ever have is 9 just to be safe, including the 2 in the clone tent, but i veg for a good while to get them as big as i can fit in my space

i think a supercrop wouldn't be too bad if you did it now, you'd be surprised how much more they will grow on you.

do u think they will get much bigger they are already on day 18 of 12/12 so im thinking they have just about finished their last stretch, dont wanna start fuckin with them now or do anything that might add time on to total grow as i want this one done asap, been a long time waiting since i last harvested due to last grow fucking up

Fuck me you got some love for them girls making each watering up depending on the plants needs. Couldn't be fucked with doing that but suppose you half got too if doing loads of different strains. Just run the same strain with the wilma makes life easier. Try get that filter though dont know how good the ona blocks are but the filter would come first for me just cause its te security of being able to grow more. Plants look well though I liked the look of that tall fucker be nice if gets long donkey dick colas lol.

yeah mate i will be getting a new filter asap i thought i cud use my old 4" filter with my new 6" fan with a size reducer but it made the fan lose too much suction so i took it back off again, will get one just after xmas, as for the onablocks they are excellent things u need to replace them every 4 weeks or so but theyeliminate pretty much all the smell. i use one even when i have my filter attached jut to take care of any stray odors,

haha cheers mate the carpet was here when i moved in, no point changing it the amount of nutes i spill on it is unreal. trust u to pick up on that u cunt lol !!
the PP is supposed to be a 10 week finisher so im hoping thats correct then i will chop they 2 pp down 2 weeks after the other girls.

and i lollipop anything that aint getting enough light so if the leaves/branches lower down are dying off due to lack of light they get snipped off, its all about the main cola growth to me

they just looked stretched ta fuk,, BUT if ther nto and they bd all ay up u got sum beasts on your hand,, But the bud formation does look qwite spaced, so u may end up with a shit load of popcorn, no mater, id rather have a little of grade than a hige amount of shite


crack on and good luck man

in fairness the spacing is a little further apart on one of the pp compared to all the other plants, but the rest look like i shud get some decent big buds from them, if i pull 2 oz off each plant dry then i'll be happy anymore and i'll be fucking delighted, unlike some of u lucky fuckers i dont normally have big masive yields, this is my biggest grow to date, i normally average 1-1 1/2 oz off a plant and that was with a 300w cfl grown one plant at a time, now i got 1000w of hps and 400w of cfls, so shud see a major increase this time, my last grow which was 1st with hps i got just under 2oz per plant so my target this time is simply to beat that,
