im not a 7 day a week drinker but im a full on binger, will go for days using lots of white just to keep me standing, ahll be the guy tapping his foot outside the pub at 2 mins to openin time and ahll be the last man out at closing, then when im either totally skint or completely physically destroyed i'll lie in bed for 2,3 sumtimes 4 days sweating and feeling suicidal. this is not a good way of life over a prolonged period of time. so i think this is it lads, im not stopping growing weed becoz i truly love watching the growing of a plant and knowing that i'm the guy that 'created' it (sorry god but i'm taking the fuckin credit!!) but im giving up the white and those fuckin crazy blue pills!! i know im gonna drink again, ive already got festival tickets booked so i WILL be gettin wasted at that but i need to break the cycle before it breaks me. just need to get my head and body a little more balanced....as a few of you who have read my posts will know i'm a sorta boom or bust kinda guy ...last week it all went tits up so i think i got a hefty wake up call.....from the fuckin cops when they dragged me oot the front seat, mite also have been done wi dangerous driving as well( according to my local newspaper although they got a few other facts wrong and they are prone to crap reporting), dunno yet, checkin wi ma lawyer maybe tomorrow or early next week.

i veg for how ever long i flower for because i got two rooms so if i got a 9 weeker in flower than my plants vegging get the same as soon as the flowerings finished on 1 crop the next lot goes in.

thought you lost the lot mate?
no mate, just the tent i had in my flat. i usually bring on seedlings and clones in my flat then move them when i can, i was trying to establish a kinda perpetual thing. i was busted with 7 clones around 18"(1 had died) and was waiting on chop n crop this week b4 shifting them. i like to be close when their young but after there in full veg or flower i just check them a a cpl of times a week.

speak to del, he does 12/12 from seed! no veg involved. It'll start to pick up the pace after about the 3rd set of new leaves. The main setup is that if you have more plants, you do a shorter veg, but if you have less plants then you have a longer veg to fill out the space more. Patience is a virtue my friend, cliche but so true.

Edit: fuckin hell del, snuck in there didnt ya!

Ah fair, shouldn't be that much trouble for 7 clones then. You can at least get your harvest done and get that financial monkey off yer back.

del wot are rooted clones like when threw straight into veg? have you tried it?
only ever done them under enviro, started at 6 inches and ended up with 12 inch pants, think its best maybe to give them a week cause as they are already adult they would switch to flower quickly without tlme to grow, unlike seeds. when i used enviros i used to flower clones at 12 inches.......guess it could be completey different ball game with hps.....i think you best give it a try and let us see.....would be interesting.
