The UK Growers Thread!

[Kushthemagictree]

Yeah I hear what you’re saying.

back in 2009 i started growing to be self sufficient.


well mission definitely accomplished. Lol.

I “help” a mate out each month too

Yeah man feels good to share some with those who appreciate some well grown weed. One of the best things i ever started doing.
I’ve took the whole organic thing in to the garden, plan on growing more veg next year also.

what you got growing at thr mo jadoman ? You still running that 1 plant hydro type grow?

At the minute mate I’ve got 3x BG41 clones that I took and recloned from last BG41 harvest.

I’ve just been ticking them along under the 24w T5 keeping them small and hydrated until I can be arsed doing the rework of the scrog frame. Too fucking hot for me to work in there for a few hours at night just yet. But with around 20oz or so (maybe more) sitting in my house I ain’t in no hurry lol.


As far as pests are concerned etc

i tend to do 1 neem spray during veg and a root drench of neem just before flower.

but I do have access to diatomaceous earth, Spinosad, Foggers, Pest off (starch based), Neem Repel, citric acid etc.

Hardly ever have to use anything though.

You aint doing shit with 20 O’s sitting there mate lol, good to keep it coming though,

i had quite a big gnat infestation, picked up some neem oil, some desi dust which i think is more or less the same as diatomaceous which i know contains silica so beneficial to plants, tbh i havnt needed the neem oil just yet.
I’m busy defoiliating every other day i would say this run has been the most enjoyable so far and i seem pretty much in tune with plants and what they need dont need.

also made a fermentation with some fruit and old leaves, i only add a little in to teas but plants pretty much on auto pilot and seem happy enough

You in the shetlands by anychance ?

Haha I'm not man, at the time I made this thread I was in Ireland, I've seen prices go up to as much as 600 during covid, but its calmed down a bit now. Fortunately I haven't seen sprayed stuff for absolutely ages now.

I love that weather it puts a spring in your step unfortunately we don't see too much of it, it's a nice day today but overcast 17c, through the night it was cold, as daylight was coming in the water temperature was warmer than the air temperature.

I didn't check the actual temperature until 6 (ish) and it was 8c

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Betty swollocks sir, me and the youngen keep cooling ourselves down with cold shower sprays lol, it takes your breath away but fuck it's nice after

What’s your temps indoors lads how’s everyone coping

What’s your temps indoors lads how’s everyone coping

I moved rooms to a cooler part of the house and I'm struggling when I close the tent I'm having to keep it open all day just to bring it down to 90 degrees ...... thinking of buyin an ac unit just for the future

 

[Star Dog]

Outside

My tent

Light on, all is well.

 

[jondamon]

Evaporative air cooler if you can use the humidity if not then AC but be careful as most cheaper units under £300 tend to have a hot hose out of the back that needs dealing with via ducting etc.

 

[Star Dog]

In my tent room just now.

The dehumidifiers keeping the night temps a bit warm but I've no option with the humidity.

In the last week I moved my timer forward by 2 hours so I can take advantage of the heat, normally it wouldn't be beneficial but with 300w i like t.
The ambient house temp 23c

 

[Mrbignugs]

Arrr that’s better Yh my ambient temps are around 25c atm love how low youguys are staying tho

My temps are normally stable but these heat waves and rapid rises are just fucking stuff up lately may just break down the grow and set up through the winter in future it's easier to kee a grow warm than to cool one down I find

 

[Star Dog]

I didn't realise there was such a temperature difference between outside and my grow area or I'd have moved my tent ages ago.

I originally set up for hid so the coolest area was the best choice but now with led its maybe time to re consider, had i known there was such a difference I'd have moved ages ago.

The room it's in is great with 650w or more but anything less i need to supply heat.

I’ve been lucky in the sense that I harvested in June and am just ticking some clones along under a 24w T5 until I can get my arse moving to clean down the main room lol.
