i take my clones at any size really, at present i'm taking them at about 9" in my DWC it takes about 2 weeks to root, i think they could probably manage to do it faster in a prop

cheers m8 thats wot i wanted to hear, you always see people in vids an that takin 2" cuts to clone an i wasnt sure if it was becouse big cuts didnt root i wanted to do about 10"
if thay take 2 weeks to root properly an then i wanna veg for 2 weeks after that il have to flower for 8 - 10 weeks thats a total of 12 - 14 weeks so il add an extra week just incase so i should be lookin at 13 - 15 weeks start to finish so if i grow 4 clones every 3 1/2 weeks thatll be a max of 16 plants at any one time (the mother plant is gonna be at a friends) an im hopeing on 2 oz a plant which shouldnt be to hard so thats 8 oz every 3 1/2 weeks, that sounds good to me

Cheers for the heads up on the bushmaster Dura but i'm as broke as the ten commandments untill next friday, i think i can pluck any more nanners as quick as the plants can produce them (i hope) so i'm just gonna ride it and keep my fingers crossed.
The bushmaster stuff does sound very promising though i think i'll grab some at some point and experiment with it myself, i have a mate in the army who's out in Afghanistan at the moment and i'm getting him to send me a shitload of beans home for my very own breeding project (hell yeah!), the only problem is all he can find so far are fields and fields of bloody opium poppys, i'm a pothead not a smackhead!
If anybody has suggestions on a really dank 'put you in a coma' indica i can cross the afghan with to create the mother of all indicas then i'm open to candidates, i was thinking Rhino/pure Afghan to sort some 'White Kush'.
sorry but i don't do sativas, a creative cerebral high is just not my bag i'm more of a 'baked to a crisp,drooling into the sofa' kind of guy.

Morning everyone - as a first time (albeit 3rd attempt from seed) grower ... I thought it time to join others in the quest for personal homegrown, cost effective and self gratification of cannabis production!
I have growing Skunk #1 (one feminised plant only) indoors which seems to be doing ok. I have now learnt the lessons of good potting mix and ph values. I have recently added some organic fertiliser in the form of chicken manure, which seems to doing a good job. Recent issues have been a lack of nitrogen, so I added a little in the form of J. Arthur bowers - seems to have done the trick with the ph value being now at 6.9. I have just upgraded my grow cupboard to extract the heat because the 400w light was increasing temp to 30c...although I wish I had bought the better quality fan from the grow shop, it seems to be helping. Yesterday I noticed a little purplish tinge to the leaves, and after reading on the forum around 20 minutes ago that it may be a little low in phosphorus - I added a little of the J. Arthur-bowers potash and watered in. Which I am praying will help the old girl as the purchase of smoke here is £140/oz and is very infrequent.
Any tips for this strain guys?
Have fun and happy smoking!!!

its worth the risk imo, better than payin £160-£200 for an oz, even if u get caught as long as you dont have a stupid amount of plants you should be fine. just a slap on the wrists and a fine.

I love skunk#1 its my fave. Cheese is a sk#1 and i grow cheese mainly. The purple is it on the stems and leaf stalks? The cheese displays purple striping on the stems and is quite normal. Shes a hungry plant ive found and takes more than the reconmendedf dose of coco nutes as i grow in coco. I find a good all round addiutive such as bat gauano tea will help keep every thing green and healthy. Street weed round here is utter pants and not worth half the money they ask for it.

ooh thanks - I have noticed the purplish tinge to the stalks and i assumed that would be normal (being a gardener and having seen it in loads of plants) but it was sort of a grey/purpley tinge to the leaves. The bottom 2 leaves (3 leaf) are dying off - although the rest looks ok. I must admit - I kept it under the flourescent lights around 2 weeks too long because i needed to do some major remedial work on the grow cupboard (old water tank cupboard), which took me 4 hours last night and involved brick removal, woodworking and beer drinking (only 2 bottles of Heineken I hasten to add). Very satisfying to sit down and have a little smoke and watch her grow when I had made her comfortable in her new home.
She is now 5 weeks old and is 12" tall, I hope the new environment will encourage increased growth.

have just taken some pics but I can#t find the transfer lead to pc 
I'm growing in acidic potting compost, worm casts, home made premix (which may not have been enough), pearlite and sand. the last 2 times I have grown - i have fed too much so I'm wary of over feeding at the moment. I think it is time to start with feeding but I'm unsure of the best stuff to use....

just checked my grow, ran out of biobloom so i gave them double of biobloom and chucked 1 large teaspoon/per litre of treacle and sum epsom salts. this was two days ago i did this and this was me just checking.HOLY FUCKING CHRIST THEYVE FUCKIN EXPLODED. the fuckers have shot about 4" in height and the main colas swollen like my bell end when i see carol vorderman. now you gotta remember that im almost 6 weeks into flower so all the up ward growth had stopped, i can honestly say i've never seen a growth spurt like it this far into flower. i'll remember this for my next grow, maybe it was some sorta fluke but its all nine of my plants.

Hi guys im new to the site, been looking in for a while snd thought id take the plunge lol.
iv got 8 plants all doing quite well in my greenhouse, im unsure of the strains as i just used seeds iv collected out of bud iv bought but 2 maybe 3 are deffo looking like sativa and the rest indica im guessing (only by height n leaf shape at this stage).
one of the sativa's? is showing female already, i used the advice of a friend which was to transfer to 'big' pots asap after sprouting and roots were established. i used this method a couple of years ago with 'random' seeds and had 100% success rate (all female) im not sure if it was a fluke tbh...
il post some pics soon and you can help me identify if possible!
enjoy the sun like my ladie(s) are!
