The Irish Growers Thread!

thanks guys, not been much of a cloner in the past, I tend to buy seeds, but tonight I'm taking maybe 4 clones off my Trainwrecks and want to make sure they got the best chance. I got a heated propagator tray with the dome, I got some Klonex gel type hormone, I got some rochgrow cube thingys, so all I need is a razor blade or something to make sure I get a clean cut, we'll see how it goes, thanks for the help guys, much obliged.

Good luck Bilbo! With any luck you may reduce or eliminate your seed orders, keep your keeper(s) going at all times

Earwigging this discussion guys, good stuff, What light do you put the clones under during rooting ????

something fairly week, I used one single florescent light that was 75w and it was enough to keep the clone alive and develope roots but not start to really grow until I got that bitch under an MH or HPS 450w bulb than it was like hell yeah lets do this!

watching "the libertine".... its actually a craking film, period piece but once you get past that its quite enjoyable....

went with a friend earlier to ride out his horse after he broke his collar bone, "ride out he said .. be no bother he said".... hahahahaha was intresting lets just say that....

on a plant related note, i`ve done very little after filling the res on friday morning so i`m going to give them a day or two to wick and dry out, i find it a good indicator as to how much there actually drinking, the fucker that leaped up is still stretching and its becomeing bothersome now, and if it packs on the colas (like i`m hopeing) then its defo going to need to be tied up or macguiever`d some how...

thats if i`m lucky enough to have iam`s problem and have so much bud it snaps the branchs ....

Morning men, hows the form? Fucking slugs or summit must have eaten my bean seedlings overnight, they were about 3/4 nodes high and now there is nothing but the stems. Growing outdoors is not great in this country compared to other sunnier ones, we are always fighting against something. Got the res changed out this morning and tied down the scrog again. I am going to flip to 12/12 tonight, I have left it too long I thing and it's really starting to stretch. The res is dropping from 6.0 to 5.0 in 12 hours at the moment, shes sucking up a lot of water and nutrients at the moment and the large volume of air is adding a lot of co2 to the res dropping the PH further. I am going to have to start adding some liquid silicon to raise the Ph from now on. One thing is guaranteed, lots of colas, I pulled down about 50/60 heads under the screen. And the bulb is still only on 300w since the start, trying to keep the leccy bill low as possible, after I stop training though it will be on 600w all the way to the end.

Sorry to read about your seedlings,if it was slugs you probably would see the slime trails all over the place.where I am there's goats and they can be hard to deter as well.
Your plant there is looking good,what are you hoping to yield from her roughly?

 

[Bilbo Baggins]

Must be some nicely chilled out goats you got over there man.

 

[Jay_normous]

I think your timing is perfect Iam, looking forward to the next 8 weeks or so...

Yeah it may have been something else, not far enough out in the stick to be seeing goats lol. Hoping to see at least 10 from her,maybe closer to 12 depending on pheno

Well it will be going at least 10, so a bit longer usual, hopefully she doesn't stretch too much, I'm not working with much headroom hence the scrog to keep the height down lol

Story of my life mate, check my journal, had a crazy day thus far, going to be a crazy couple of weeks between getting my gear back online with the personal grow, and 2 OG18 harvests (18 plants each) from the factory, one intended for ice/water hash (a couple hours of labour) and the other for drying/curing process. Ugh .. the life of a happy, exhausted urban farmer ...

[ae86 grower]

same here, i had a spot that was all sorted painted and wired for power doors hung and a seperate veg cab but personal circumstances changed and now i`ve to start all over again, at least were wired for power now so that to me is the big thing, once i get this grow under my belt and some weed in stoc then its onwards and upwards again..

 

[ae86 grower]

recorded rocky 1 2 and 3 with 4 and 5 being on wednesday evening on tcm....

love them, ever since i was a kid.... and now my kid is getting into them i have no bother`s watching them all over again, kinda cool, he`s just finished the starwars saga and next is either back to the future or the rocky`s...

 

[tontoboy]

i vote alien franchise next















and all arnold schwarzenegger films

 

[ae86 grower]

yeah both great choices, but hes a bit small just yet for some of the bits in alien, and predator.. the last one of which i tought was good, the hunting planet one..

 

[tontoboy]

but hes a bit small just yet for some of the bits in alien, and predator

but arnolds the perfect role model

 

[ae86 grower]

bahahahaha.... the 90`s has alot to answer for... hahahaha...

of course i`ll force him to watch all the clint eastwood westerns just so i can watch them again myself...

 

[tontoboy]

hmmm all these film choices will result in a mini supervillain, better throw in some john wayne to correct the moral compass and ensure good walking posture

 

[ae86 grower]

hahahaha, thats a given, can`t have one without the other.. will throw in the monty pythons to lighten it up a bit for him, some of there stuff is hilarious some of it crap, but when its good its real good...
