The UK Growers Thread!

Little update.

Main room light is off now and I’m almost done harvesting the critical+.

as you can tell I fucking hate trimming lol.

Anyway.

here’s the blue gelato 41 after a small amount of training last night.

mutliple topping and some stripping of lower growth.

By the end of this weekend the room will be cleaned and back up and running with these 2 BG41’s up potted into 11L of coco/perlite (using perlite this time to stop the compression of the coco and allow quicker drainage)

Anyone see this electricity price rise from April? 50% increase from an already inflated price hike in October? This is a joke .

Do you really think we haven’t seen this lol.

we’ve been talking about it in here for months.

whatever your electricity is now expect another 50% on top.
So if your elec is £100 per month expect to pay £150 per month.

What’s this breaking news powers going up lol
robbing bastards least we get a £150 to ease the pain im going to put mine towards an electric bud trimmer and a new lighter for me new pipe

I'm going outdoors from now on after this grow - Free electric from trillions of Watts and a balanced stone with a rich deep flavour and aroma profile . Trees are good for the knees and you can't beat the sun for spectrum and intensity. 5 oz a plant east with a veg indoors under cheap fluorescents.

There's near 10 thousand pages to slog through to find info , and that's just on this thread.

You’ll get £150 off your council tax (probably will have to apply and then it will most likely be applied with an extra month for free in January etc)

The other is £200 off your energy bills to be paid back on your next 5 years of bills at £40 each year.

Lol. Yeah Great idea Rishi Sunak (who’s Mrs is probably the most richest woman in the world)

Yeah true but it’s been talked about plenty just in the last few pages.

personally I use a 300w LED and a 200w CFL and usually not together the whole time so I’ll just suck up the cost and carry on.

weed I grow for myself to save me dealing with kids in my area.

it’s not like I see it as a business etc it’s not.

i work full time and could afford to buy my weed usage each month but I don’t want to deal with the scum that live around my way and their 1.6g/£20 bags.

 

[Star Dog]

I was planning on cutting back to one or two bumper crops a year timed to coincide with the warmest months, i didn't plan on it being this year but if electricity prices double I'd need to reconsider my options, in flower it costs me +/- £25 a week

I don't sell any at all so I can't ease the cost but I can't cut back either until I find a pheno I'm happy with.
greedy bastards!

For later years I wouldn't mind a spur bypassing the meter but that's old story of trust, once someone knows they know and you can't take it back.

If it’s £25 a week now expect £38 a week

Same pal , I might just buy a top bin led and do one monster trained tree and downsize consumption, I blaze like fuck over an oz a week with my bird on half that as well. Sometimes those 1.6 s is fresh off the bat with no cure duration either. Outdoor is the way to go for cost with freebies and what not . These electric prices from April are a complete rip.

I didn't realize until recently but growing for me is way more than a smoke, growing outside would be great likes but having to give up the indoor side of it would be like losing an old friend.

Nowt wrong with fresh weed mate when it’s grown right and dried appropriately.

it’s like I say about when I make eliquid.

curing doesn’t turn a bad eliquid into a good one.

it just makes a good eliquid better!

Same for weed.
Curing doesn’t turn some garbage into primo A star bud.

it makes good bud better. IMO.

Absolutely 100% agree with that.

Curing does have an effect on the overall effects and tastes , I much prefer curing for 2 months plus , the trichomes go like brownish powder and the bud translucent. Each to their own I suppose . I cure for over 2 months before I experience the smoke.

That’s actually just evening out the moisture and allowing the trichomes to become brittle rather than sticky.

i still remain with the fact it won’t turn badly grown bud into primo bud but it will allow good bud to get better.

It's like curing a cheese or wine - definitely has a better overall quality and smoke.

Not disagreeing with you.

I’ve been an eliquid creator for around 7 years now making and cloning various recipes, taste testing for companies etc.

Anyone who says to me this juice is bad because it hasn’t been steeped aka “cured” I tell them to fuck off as it’s not gonna make a bad juice taste good regardless of how long it stays in the dark lmao.

The top dispensarys have curing bags for months at their facilities. Patience is a key factor for premium nuggets.
