I save my compost for my veggies. Much more forgiving than dope. Always gave me unstable Ph
Stable ph is a necessity
Tend to split the compost heaps. I leave onions, garlic etc out of the the dope one. Been threatening to go down the worm farm route forever but will actually be doing it this year.

Hi Lads;
I'm ex post nuptially Irish and living in Canada. I have the expired red passport to prove it!
I just started my first project. May I play with my former brothers?
Oh, and I'm probably older than most of you. :)

Calculating your CFM is needed and then add some.
Buy in a grow shop, they will tell you the right size fan for your setup.
Its going to cost a lot more than 30 for a good un.

Put 'em your mouth and suck 'em.

So I just started my first grow. Always wanted to do this.
So I bought s kit:
2x4x5 tent
600w hps/mh kit.
Filter etc.
I've started with 5 auto candy cane in 10L pots.

All legal then?
10L maybe small for autos? im no expert on autos.
Over 50 club?
You may be right. The guru at my hydroponics store said I should be ok. It's a done deal anyway as you can't transplant them.
Over 50 club, yup. You? I lived in Blackrock for a few years in the late 90's. Worked in stillorgan.
Back then I never saw any weed, only hash.
Anyway are you growing indoors or out? I'm in a condo. Lol
And the legal thing. Right now in Canada it is legal for a card carrying medical user to grow. The govt has to revise the original legislation but until then it is legal.
I had a medical thing happen to me a few years ago and cannabis was suggested for various symptoms. I found some kid that I was making donations to and then some goof tried to rob him and shot him in the head. This happened around the corner from where I grew up. Upper middle class neighborhood.
The kid is ok and they arrested the moron after he did the same thing to someone else for a cell phone minus the shooting.
I'm a father, a professional, and so that woke me up. All for a 1/2 oz of a plant. Ridiculous.
Also, and more importantly, I need to know what's going into my body. I would hope today's mass growers take pride in their work but I think organic is the way for me. The only way I can certify that is if I do it myself. When they legalize I'm sure that will be an option at purchase.

50+ o yes and getting older but not wiser. Learned growing way before all this newfangled internet thingy.
Indoor mostly.
For health reasons and flavor i would recommend getting a vaporizer.
I try to avoid busy places, too many scumbags watching. Gangs of little fuckers just watching and signaling each other for a target.

Yep. Its just not worth the hastle of buying on the open market. Didnt bother me too much when I was younger. The thoughts of having to go down that road now...shudder.

Thanks for this tip. The more I thought of it the more it makes sense. I have been fighting symptoms all this time and not the root cause.....literally not the root cause. Thanks bud.

My brother-in-law was driving his friend's car around downtown Dublin during rush hour and stuck in traffic. Some little shit runs up to the car and signals the guy to roll it down. He says, "see my friend over there?" He points to a boy holding a board with a if nail in the tip of it. "He'll do your car unless you give me 20 quid. My brother-in-law paid.
Sorry off topic but a good knacker story none-the-less.

I travel up to Dublin from the country a lot. Just a different culture. Country town in Ireland are just soo much more chilled out. Its not perfect but a lot less stressfull than living in the "Capital".
