The Irish Growers Thread!

[ae86 grower]

hello everyone. i have been reading this thread for a while now. i am sick of buying 50euros for 2.5 grams.The last time i bought was sprayed with chemical it is really harsh to smoke so even though its expensive i just throw it in the bin . i realized the only option for me is to grow for my own sadly i cant grow indoor bec. i dont want to argue with my mrs about the electric bill LOL. I know that its not too expensive on electric but i find it hard to explain her. I'm glad that she did'nt mind when i planted outdoor. I'm a newbie so any advise about growing in your own experience would be appreciated.Below are my two wss skunk that i planted from seed,its now about 40+ days

The soil i used was canna terra whih i bought from the shop.i top this two plants so it would not grow tall and dont want to attract attention to my neighbors .

they look dry. and have you given them any liquid nutes since they went into the big pots?

 

[alfisti]

I have been feeding them miracle grow and tomato feed but i stop for a while bec i noticed some burn on the side of the leaf

 

[ae86 grower]

they look good dude, have you an idea what ratio mix the nutes were? full strenght can do damage but so can none atall... they look like they could do with a bit so mix a batch at say third strenght ratio and work it up slowly as she grows....

Evening lads long time..

fuckin problems with slime i was having is only now sorted, heres the short story,

advanced nutrients ph perfect line has wet betty added into it which is organic and can cause savage slime outbreaks in dwc, even when i brewed tea to kill the slime is wasent doing anything, i switched to cheap GH nutes and ran lucas formula with the tea (earthworm castings - aquashield - zho powder - molasses) brewed with airstones for 48 hours, shit that tea works fuckin wonders my roots were eat away with slime and now slime is gone and new roots exploding everywhere, pity plant was so far into flower, but i will be well prepared for next grow, 2 weeks or so should finish this plant which is packing on bud at last!

hope everyone is well i have not been around and dident want to read back 100 pages!

no more advanced nutrients for me and tea all the way, my ph is stable for the first time ever, infact i have not adjusted it in a full week!

They don't look too bad at all, hard to tell but your ph may be off a little.
You should do whatever bit of reading you can and you will learn a lot of do and don'ts etc and best of luck with them.

Thanks ae86 grower . i gave it full ratio mix from what it said on the tin. Does anybody know what is the law here in ireland if they caught you have two plants in pocession??

 

[fr3d12]

no such option fred... or i just missing it, right click on these new vaios is shit, as is the touch pad they don`t really work right but that aside i`m not seeing a stop seeding thing.. how long will they seed for?what is seeding?

Highlight the torrent and then right click it and you will see the following, "open containing folder", click that and it will bring you straight to the file location, if you have stopped downloading or seeding you can move it to wherever you want.

Two plants would probably qualify as personal use and I think it's 800euro fine per plant

I'm looking for a pH reader. does anyone has link so i could have a look. the ph that i'm using right now was from ebay that cost me about 10euros it sucks i know it not good

800euros per plant. jaysus thats shayt. i wish they leave us alone as we are quiet when we are stoned compared to drunk people

The cheap ebay ones are no good and it depends on your budget.
I haven't used these but the cheaper hanna meters are supposed to be not too bad.
You could probably get some kind of test kit from the hydro shop for a few euro that would give you approximate readings.

Theres no set fine, they value each plant at 800 euro regardless if its worth 50 cent or 800 euro, you could expect a trip to court and your name in the paper with maybe 100 fine to charity and or community service, you wont not do time unless you were well known and they wanted you away,

as for a ph meter theres no point buying one for a tenner its just a waste of cash you will need to get a better one alfisti like a essentials ph meter, remember to buy both 4 and 7 ph buffer as you will need to calabrate the meter every week or so to keep it working correct, best to buy from a grow shop where you can add buffer to your order, thebigshop is a good shop and free fast shipping

Good to hear you are back on track kang, shame as you say it's into flower. You should give dutch pro nutes a go. I'm using them in dwc this round, no slime or any problems almost at the end of a long grow.

I use the hortilab and have it about a month and am happy enough with it.

These are a good deal cheaper but like anything you should do a little research before buying.

Yeah man thanks, if i had to buy nutes again id get dutch masters as ive heard great things over on the slime thread about them nutes, cant get them around here tho just hydro shops in the uk but could be done, i cant tell you how shite advanced nutrients is i am really gutted after the price of that shit!


Ae sorry about the lights coming down on ya buddie! i had that happen two different grows on me broke my plant both times but with duck tape they both healed and came back to life after a week, i was there to see it happen tho and they dident get burned up, from now on i make sure its impossible anything can fall on my girls!

At least you got it sorted so better late than never and all that.
Fair play you did your research and came up with a great formula to get rid of the slime.

Of course, how else would you get a record if breaking the law dident give you a record!! lol dont worry to much or the stress will freak you out, listen well to this and i mean very well, tell nobody!! not even the best friend you think you can trust with your life, keep the smell down by any means necessary and dont blab and drop hints
