Growin' chillies by the window....in scotland

[thedaz]

right anyway im going to head off to the gym and my local grow shop to see if they can source me a 150 watt hps

 

[ElectricPineapple]

haha well ill be putting more pics up tomorrow. i wish i hadnt of burned my kaya 47 like that but all is good. ill still get a good yield i think. i think 4 zips. its a very high yielding strain. i will recommend it 100% when i smoke it but so far, just on yielding capabilities i do recommend it.

but the SLH is great tasting. smells just like juicy fruit and taste like it too

4 ounces is loads for 1 plant , how long did you vege her vege for? My grow shop said that they'll try and get me a 150 watt hps but i was looking at the 200 watt envirolites aswell today so im tied between them .The 200 watt will be cheaper to buy and im on a budget

 

[PinchedNerve]

I would go with the 150 personally Daz think of it as a choice between dence and fluffy buds. Well no pics cuz I told my buddy he was acting like a girl and he got real pissed, but I will do some searching for my camera.

I almost choked on my cuppa when i read you kept seeds in the fridge Daz , im not at all sure thats a good place.Like EP says , its got to be kept absolutey dry and airtite if possible.Dont think its a huge hassle , ive kept seeds for 3 years now from my first couple scores here(seeds in pot are extremely rare here now) and id say 80% of them grow when planted.Ive kept them in an old 35mm canister.I didnt get much of a yield but all thats going to change this summer with the new lights.

Just seems damp in a fridge , its like the quandry of can pot be frozen , like put in the freezer for a while to smoke later.Some say yes and others say no.I missed the bus on the june freebies Daz , ill be marking out my order to attitude today.Im scouring the forum for tips on "seeds for dummies" so i can be sure ill get some measure of success.
I believe that puts AK-47 at the top of the list , id appreciate any tips on which seeds i should be looking at.I reckon ill put a $100 limit on my purchase,but that should get me well and truly started.

oooh cool , well their july offer is gonna start soon mind
well what type do you want , like indica or sativa? or a mix?
i always like indicas, couch lock , relaxing and they have quite short flowering times compared to sativas

 

[PinchedNerve]

Either way would be the way to go, My first plant was super special automatic bagseed seems lucky, but it did great under 6 23watt bulbs and I added a 68 later on. I let it flower for 80 days and I still don't think it was done and I could see through my lower buds and the main cola got snapped off around day 50 of flower. My sis smoked with me last night and the shit she had tasted like peppermint and there was a seed in there.

 

[OhGr]

right guys im gonna get some more picks up. Also i forgot to mention i picked up some more seeds from a friend who didnt want them super thai skunk and another pineapple express how long can seeds stay viable for? because if im only gonna grow 2 at a time , all these seeds ive got will last me through like 8 grows ive got them in the fridge for the mean time

Some people will say freeze them but by freezing them and from the slight defrosting and freezing that you can get from a fridge, it lets moisture in. I agree with ElectricPineapple Keep them somewhere dry and in good conditions and they can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years.

 

[Fullmoon kid]

Twas me waffling about freezing OhGr , not seeds but the pot itself.

 

[PinchedNerve]

I can't find anything about minty ganj, prolly just laced with listerine. But the seed is germin.

 

[OhGr]

I've never tried it or thought of it. To think, I've had this mini-fridge with me this whole time.

hi there daz, nice to see some Scottish lads getting with nature. I did start to read the journal but felt a little like I was butting in on a nice private conversation, so I'll just tag in from here....if ye dinny mind eh. Love the chillies, I think I may start some n'all, got a greenhouse this year and so far having a right old giggle with it, some ups, some downs. Anyway, take it easy and good luck with it all.

It was a chick down in Fla that told me her friends freeze their stash.Ive never tried it either because ..well..obvious reasons , id hate to ruin a good bud.Ive froze ciggies before by the pack and they light straight from the freezer..weird.

[thedaz]

Im thinking whatever is going to be ready the quickest initially , i sorely need some stash.Whats the difference between feminized seeds and female seeds ? Ive also wondered what an autoflowering means...they all flower after all.
Once i have some stash to smoke ill relax and get into it as a fine art.

cool yeah feminized means there wont be any males , so thats good shit auto flowering means they flower during anylight cycle, ie you could just have the lights on for 20 hours till harvest , where as a normal plant youd have to switch to 12/12
if you wanting quick finnishers, my mate grew early widdow by advanced seeds that finnished pretty fast . But autos also finnish quite fast
