Irish man's first grow.

[kushhound187]

You guys are freaking awesome! And I managed to pick up a timer today pure lucky for €3.50! Gonna put em on 12/12 this Sunday! I think it's time!! Preflowers you say?? And thanks again!

Now its time to start brewing batshit tea. stir it once a day for sure. use organic teas once every 2-4 weeks. ph you tea too. dont forget that. with organics, you are feeding the soil, and therefor last much longer.

but when your buds ash is.bone white, tastes amazing, it will be worth the extra work. organic is highly rewarding, and you cant really overfeed with manure. that said, using to much is wasteful, and products containig rock dust can burn the fuck outta plants.

anyway feed with a tea every couple weeks, than ro or filtered water for the rest of the time. this flushes the plant naturally. some say you can feed right up to the last water with organics. a)no need.if you organize your feeding weeks on a callendar proper, you should stop feedin at about 2 weeks before harves. i typically feed indicas 2-3 times in flower. plus a extra handful of worm shittys halfway thru flower. and b) if you feed right up to the end, you will taste it. to get the purest flavour of bud, you must not feed within the last 2 weeks.

worm castings would be the only last week feed, i would say would be ok. but its unnecacerry. organics last long in soil, and you want to flush salts at the end.

Just set up the timer to 12/12! and made sure that my grow area is lightproof! so in a week or two we should be seeing some awesomeness!

 

[Bilbo Baggins]

looking forward to that cloudy.

 

[Cloudiology]

me too. I've also got exams every day this week so it's gonna be a busy one!

 

[kushhound187]

Ádh mór

good luck cloudy. lol, even if you dont speak irish, i still like to use what little i know

hope you're exams go well

 

[Cloudiology]

cheers man! me too! hopefully i'll be fully Comptia A+ certified!! I'm pretty damn confident though.. me and computers go together like bread and butter!

 

[kushhound187]

I fucking hate em. they are only good for a few things for me. music, videos, and when i get a hardline, this forum. but that would be it. i hate typing with my phone. its hurting.

but im glad theres folks out there that can resist the urge to smash them when they dont work. and i have even more respect for those who work with them.

i fucking hate em tho. to complicated to work when i get really lit of some killer bud. makes me dizzy just thinking about how much i hate computers

 

[ae86 grower]

yeah they can get frustrating at times, i like how you can watch pretty much any tv show and movie tho, so its a valueable tool in this house...

and riu of course..


cloudy any updates? they must be starting to fill out now? and the dawgs forgot to mention when you flip they will stretch a fair bit so manageing your lights might get tricky in the next little while..

 

[Cloudiology]

I'm on the way home now! I'll throw up some photos! And I readjusted the height incase they started stretching! They we're looking great yersterday!

 

[Cloudiology]

here they are. 1 day of 12/12 so not much going on. except very nice growth. and the big top dawg looks kinda scruffy but i assure you she's happy as a daisy!


My Cheese auto are looking fine. no complaints or troubles.. they're just doing their thing.


so yeah. they're all looking good. i think that trimming or something should maybe done to the scruffy looking big one but i think i'll leave that for my next grow..

if they get super stretchy it's ok. got another 6 40w 2600k bulbs for the sides to handle it. gonna build 2 vertical fixing for them to stick to the sides. that should be enough for this grow

 

[KushCanuck]

Looking really nice there Cloudi, glad to have a seat for this one. And you said you were newer to growing ... ?

KC

 

[Cloudiology]

newer to growing?? gotta be prepared right! i'm just gonna take it as a compliment! 8p and thanks man. really love growing! and the smell... omnomnom!

 

[KushCanuck]

Was meant as a compliment brother, glad you take it that way . Doing great, keep it up. The rewards are endless man, why I`m into aquaponics as a career now, and will likely be growing (all things) for the rest of my days. Welcome to the good life man, enjoy your stay

[Cloudiology]

aquaponics? daaaymmnn quite a few levels above me! one day though!

 

[KushCanuck]

My few goes at hydro gave me enough and learned the rest as I go. Aquaponics is recirculating nutrients from fish tank to grow medium and the plants grow hydroponically either DWC or Flood and Drain. All you do is feed the fish, their waste (through chemical process in the water) is turned into usable plant nutrients. Water comes out clean after plants use what they need for the fish to live in again. Sustainable source of vegies for me and talapia to boot. Once I`m finished schooling I want to open a few nurseries that cater to high-end chefs, already have a few interested and just in the business plan stages

when i was down in the local grow shop buying biobizz soil, i saw a fully functioning aquaponics system. fish looking happy as the plants did! looked awesome. but pricey.. still though. it's amazing the amount of ways there are to grow a plant...

That is one hell of a hippy concept, growing weed from the waste products of an aquarium, shows how green I am that I never heard of that before, amazing.

 

[Cloudiology]

day 2 of 12/12! absolutely nothing of interest has happened! yes they grew a little but it's hardly worth shouting about! *eats sandwich*

 

[kushhound187]

You wont see shit happen until day 7 or around there. some sativas dont declare sex until day 20.

and why eat sandwich? whats wrong with boxty or stew? im actually really craving a good stew right now lol.

probably how ill spent tomorrow. i just killed a sheep yesterday. maybe its stew time.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm stew...
