Greetings! New grower here. Whoop whoop! Some advice if possible guys. I started my babies under a 600W HPS, but they got schorched to death within hours. Now I have restarted more seeds and lifted the light up higher to try and reduce the heat. They are looking ok now, but seem to be stretching like crazy, and flopping over. Used some string to keep them upright, but I don't think this si the way it is supposed to be... Any reason for this? Do I need a didfferent type of light for seedlings? I think I read somewhere about CLF's or something like that. Just got some equipment of my mate, so I am at a loss here. Are there any good books out there that will help me! I am a bit paranoid as to where I go and who sees me when I shop for things, so I might not want to go look in Easons or something like that...

Thanks guys (and potentially girls)

Welcome man loads people here give great advice, search the forum I found lot answers and wrecked people's head on here everyone is sound hope your grow goes well

What month do plants start flowering outside over here.? All i can remeber is when they finish ha.

 

[fxbane]

Without any forcing it happens August/September, that's why it is such a terrible country to grow outdoors in. Even before the plants are finishing flowering it's ball freezing and raining all the time.

 

[DublinGrower83]

Would it be too late to germ seeds now?

 

[fxbane]

That's a close call, I think you'd have to start them indoors just to get some size to them and put them outside towards end of August then hope for an indian summer.

*edit* meant to say start of August!

What about in a greenhouse?

 

[Smiffy2k9]

For outside no, im gonna start my fem seed for outside at the end of this month, then it will have around a month veg before flower. Now a month veg outside over here wont give you massive plants, but i grow for myself so huge yeilds arnt priority. I also have an auto started outside and am going to start another soon for 3 stagard outside harvests. I also have a vinilla kush(inside) thats going for the chop this weekend. Then ill be starting another inside woth major lst and topping. Stoned ramblings over ha

Well now, that's a different kettle of fish. I'd imagine you would just about get away with it, just don't be expecting 7 foot tall plants! If you start now I can imagine you taking something down mid to late October.

Yeah man I'm same some personal smoke I be happy cool we usually have good weather sept-Oct when the kids go back to school always seems to be sunny haha can't wait till I'm stoned

 

[Smiffy2k9]

Now if you want 7foot plus plants in a greenhouse you need to start them out no later than mid march start of april. No matter when iv harvested fem seeds outside, its always been the week before halloween when i have my first harvest

The girls have exploded with flowers, hope the sun comes back but she's flowering not long now =)

you haven't got any beans yet?

 

[mdjenks]

the little co-op came down and is almost done drying we guestimated the yield to be around 7oz but only about 1/2 oz of the very purple green crack.

now is that purple or what?

 

[fr3d12]

Looks great md,that sure is purple,looking forward to the smoke report

 

[iamaaror]

That purple looks beautiful, love coloured buds like that. Did you drop the temps or did the colour come out naturally?

Good stuff on the work front, any day is better than none at all.

[ae86 grower]

never needed it fred, or any ph up or down or any of that stuff, just soil and straight nutes, switching basic nutes as they get flipped etc.. i say basic as there just the standard bio bizz stuff, bio baby for veg and bio buzz for flower...
