Feck all man... Still just trying to grow and learn a few things on the way...
Would love a whole room dedicated to a grow room... Look forward to your next grow..

Well lads! I'm still in the planning/research phase of my first grow but I signed up here after seeing this thread, it's great to see so many Irish with green fingers out there. I've been reading through this thread over the last few days and I'm well impressed. Decided on growing after getting back from the states, where my mates could call up their dealer and he'd list of what strains he had on the go! I've never heard of hook-ups like that over here so I decided to get the green finger out and give it a lash. I'm looking at either AK-48 or Northern Lights Auto from Nirvana seeds, but I won't be ordering for another while - I'm going to sort out a grow space and the like first.

Anyways, just said I'd pop in and say well! Props to the lot of ye!

Welcome along.. Nice to see your doing your homework before starting growing.. unlike me that does all things arse ways..!

Looks like the roots are suffocating, maybe not enought drainage in the compost, is there any perlite in there or sand of something for drainage. Could be a pythium problem if the roots havent been getting enough oxygen. If its peat based compost, it often a problem.

I would repot them in a mix of 1/4 perlite and good John innes no.2.
Can't give a better answer than this, you may want to do this asap to jingle before it gets any worse..

when i changed the pots the last time a few bits of root broke and the other half threw them into the soil mix, now theres a new shoot in with the bigger of my plants, it looks like a seedling(2 round leaves) and is the same size as these were when they broke through soil. is it possible for a peice of root to grow into a new plant? anyone know. or is it just a peice of cress.

i dont know if someone is taking the piss but i would not smoke your weed if you piss on it!
just get the results of your ph up and then if thats ok you can go on to the next step, either too much nutes or not enough, i personally would always say its a case of the later, early on in my grow i had to flush the plants and they picked up again within a day.
guys what is the best nutes i can get over here for my plants that are all in flowering stage now because there getting a bit deficient in a couple of things.
cheers

hi jingle
i took each plant to the bath and poured through about 10 litres of water, leave them in the pots and really you want to soak them, totally washing out the soil, dont let the water sit on the top and roll off down the sides, make sure it goes down and out the bottom, you will feel like you are drowning them but dont worry they will be ok. make sure the water is nice and clean, i filled a bucket myself and let it stand overnight. when you have finished and all the water has drained through(usually have to wait about an hour for water to run completely through) take your plants back to nice warm area(which u have,i didnt!) and then just leave them too it. dont water for a while after because they will have enough. i was a bit too keen with nutes but i learned my lesson and now only use a tiny bit every second watering. the device from b and q i tiold you about is great.
good luck jingle and if you need owt give me a shout!
dont worry

Just realised I didn't even put up the pics lastnight, I was in a bad way after the j I smoked, put green and nice fluffy hash in it mmmmm

Anyway here's the auto's I can't remember which ones I've put up and which I haven't as the folder is all mixed up, also I think I got 2 different gene pools of them one is big and light green the other is dark and half the size but the same height, you'll see here.

Here's a few pics of eve, before and after she got a haircut...all the fan leaves for some reason died a horrible death but they didn't discolour or anything they just shrivelled up and dried out, I think it was stress as I bent her over a bit to get more light, that worked out ok as the budds the whole way down turned to the light and started growing that way, she's taking up nutrients like nothing normal so I think I was right about the growth spurt thing, you can see the false seed pods I was on about on one of the pics at the top.

hi fella
they are looking very nice indeed, very fresh looking, how many have you got going at once?. on your big plant did you just go mad and cut all the old leaves off, cos a few of my old ones need trimming i think. also are you going to start a journal with this bunch as it would be easier to follow if one of us needs any advice on an auto grow.
looking well nice though
good luck with them

Thank for the support man, I have 2 autos and 2 strains I don't know but their indica. Yeah I went a bit mad with the fan leaves but after a while you don't really need the big ones as the budds grow their own little fan leaves to reflect light into them. Trim off the bottom half of them if you feel they need it man it'll not affect them too much and if you want to do the rest whip them off when the budds get bigger, maybe halfway through or close to the end of flowering.

Gonna do a journal no problem but I'm gonna wait until I have them finished and harvested before I do, from here on in I'll have a constant grow of auto's, I have 3 more ak seeds to grow and next I'm gonna do the ak/blueberries, lowlife released them in the last few weeks and my 2 fav greens are ak and bubblegum, that would be the closest to them.
