You'll have maybe 4 weeks of about 12 hours daylight give or take 30 mins. I'd say your girl will reveg eventually unless you start putting it inside in the afternoon (or dont put it outside till late in the morning)...try and give it the same amount of light as ita s getting now :)

Sweet, OK I get what you are saying. but if its 12.5 hours a day will that make a big change.? Or will it be ok in-tell the end of September. Any ways I think i might go with that, Just would hate to lug a few around every morning / night aghhhhhhhh. or would the extra sun slash warm weather help them finish in the remaining 30 days or so. ????. being that it is only a half hour extra ????

Already starting to prep my plots I dug and filled in the first hole today I also have a much better spots then my last grow with nearly all day sun!
Im using compost, the top soil that was there, dolomite lime, some dusty sheep manure which is just all round NPK and general purpose potting mix for soil aeration.
Closer to the time ill probably add more compost then add some water crystals and bat guano to my mix and get some molasses through the soil to get the microbes all worked up and tidy up the area. Its a fucking mission digging becasue the soil is rocky and crap because its an old river plain that must have had the top silty soil washed of and deposited somewhere else but itl be worth the work, one hole down 5 or more to go lol

How wide and deep do you guys dig your holes? Amongst the gorse and bush is the way to go.

Also I ended up throwing the two crappy looking plants away becasue they just got stunted and didnt grow much at all and threw the male out aswell because I dont wanna risk having them on the property. Kept the best female though and suppercropped her because I wanna keep her short if I can.

12.5 hrs a day will still finish it off mate, as the days get longer though it will start to reveg and go all whispy, hence bringing it inside :) good luck mate, hope it works out ok!

Has anyone grown in gorse before? I'm thinking about doing it as it'll help camo and keeping animals away, also heard that gorse has similar soil preferences

Hey guys,
New NZ north island grower here. Have done some previous grows over in BC Canada, indoor hydro stuff, usually Durban Poison or northern lights.

Just coming on here to say a big hello to the community :)

How the hell you'd smell proof an outdoor greenhouse just defeats me - can't see it happening without an extractor fan and negative pressure. Or sealing really fucken tight and cooking on hot days.

There are a bunch of low/er odour strains out there - maybe worth considering? Pain in the arse if you're trying to grow a strain for a specific effect.


Here's a regular reminder for us all to take care: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/10477503/Nude-awakening-in-drug-den
An alleged drug grower was surprised in the nude this morning by police raiding his home in Porirua, Wellington.

Cannabis worth tens of thousands of dollars was removed from the house on Herewini St, Titahi Bay, along with pipes, growing equipment and an air gun.

A 38-year-old man has been arrested and charged with cannabis possession, and will appear in Porirua District Court next week.

The man, an IT worker who had rented the house for six years, had used a blacked-out bedroom to grow cannabis plants, and also had dried cannabis and cannabis oil in the house, detective Kelvyn Parry of Porirua police said. Six mature plants were seized, and 20 seedlings.
Six fucken plants man :( And now he's fucked with charges for "tens of thousands" dollars worth of cannabis.



Hey, sorry to be that dick who posts it, but Imma gonna remind yall that the election is coming up. NZ desperately needs drug reform. Please enrol and vote, and then check with your skeggy mates - pester them to enrol and vote too. Early voting is open now.

The two parties that support drug reform in Parliament are Greens and Internet-Mana.

nah its not legal yet for medicinal, but GP approves, and gotta be better than Class B opiates that I currently have for pain. Others have suggested Ozone generators and Carbon filters with a decent fan, creates negative pressure, all air exiting the greenhouse filtered with a carbon filter, like the indoor grows. Ozone kills smell pretty well too, as well as mould etc. just wondering if anyone has had any experience with that.

Supper cropped and topped her to keep it a bit lower. Amazing how even a few degrees can help the plant shes looking much less droopy now! Just worried she might be another he/she.
Weathers getting better aswell, heres a picture from a couple of days ago
