Hi AE, My Trainwrecks ( remember them ) are flowering away in my boys ( hes 25 ) closet, apparently they are sprouting white hairs from everywhere at an impressive rate, probably because of the 50 day veg they got, Ive got 5 clones took, no signs of roots yet but leafs look nice, pointing upwards which is a good sign. My Northern Lights are going into 12/12 tomorrow, going to do some grow closet mods as well, got a cracking pair of battery rack all I do is liberate the good bits before it gets there.s from the work that I was told to dump in the skip ( No chance ) should fit in the closet allowing me to operate a veg at the bottom and flowering at the top system. Got a wee cabinet cooling fan as well and getting my Teflon hat on to try and design my own carbon filter to work along with it. I havnt stole this stuff, business I'm in you wouldn't believe the stuff they throw away, should be a busy day tomorrow, will post some pics of the Trainwrecks, My boy is a bit short of cash ( as they usually are ) to buy ferts for his new pastime, so guess who has to supply them ?, will take some pics when I'm up at his house later.

cool that you can share the experience and knowledge with the boy, wouldn`t be adverse to that myself...

how long did you clip the clones? normally anything between a week and three weeks for roots , well thats the theroy, i`ve not had luck cloneing as of yet but i put that down to my cloneing powder being shit...

yeah that tray you see in the pic, its a heated propagator, only 11W to run, has a clear plastic lid with a wee sliding hatch to open a bit if needed, they cost about £10 from garden centres, hopefully it'll do the job.

It could be man ive no real idea until i get my hands on a real ec meter, i am still using ro water, but sure i might aswell just guess ec as believe a false reading so half strength is what they are on but i cant wait to see true ec,

i think this strain took 10 weeks to flower for me in soil but i really dont know how she will go in hydro hopefully faster but its my first time so i wont say it will or it wont do anything just yet,

everything is prity good with me mate, ive had no good weather to get anything done outside yet hopefully the weather picks up next week

A great diy cloner is a tub with an aquarium heater, float a tray in there which u can place Ur cuttings or pots onto. perspex on top and done. set heater about 26degree c. 90% cloned so far.

Thanks everybody, the little co-op is 33 days, well 34 now, of 12/12. The purple one is the only green crack in the bunch. My two friends that are part of it along with me are the reason they always turn out so well I guess when you have someone handling it 24/7 you catch any problem plus we have been using a stellar line we came across cloning chernobyl. This is the 5th clone of the original and it has been getting better every time so those people that tell you clone of clones lose potency are full of shit! We came across this idea after doing some research and came across a guy who has been cloning the, forgot the strain, same strain for two years and he said it has lost no potency but has become more stable with each run and that is what we are seeing for our very selves. It is extremely potent, a good friend of ours smoked some one day when we were out in golden gate park and after a few hits he said he couldn't smoke anymore and described it as "blistering" and that it felt as if his ears were burning, ha! I guess the 3 of us running the little co-op (little co-op has of sorts become the name of it) have a tolerance to the strain but the patience all 3-4 of them love it and so do we. I wish we could share it with all of you!! Anyway happy growing and soon I will start my own personal run of 6 different strains, I just got burnt out after three bad episodes trying to figure what the F I was doing wrong but did my meter was way off but now that is fixed I expect/hope to have a good a run as the little co-op. Thanks again everyone and happy growing its F'ing spring and then summer I am looking to you true irish folks outdoor grows and I am glad some of you are having good luck with the beans I could donate to a few of you!!!!

hey AE I had read that when the leaves point up, which in my pics you see the same, that that means they like their environment and nute regiment, it's I guess a sign of healthy plants.

Yes md i agree with u there, i have always cloned from a clone picked the best clone and clone again. some say it dilutes the strain but i have not seen this. seeds worked a treat, popped up out of soil in less than 24 hrs, u have made Ireland a little greener and a happier place THX

that is great to hear, as it cures does it smell like citrus candy, we say starburst here in the states but I'm not sure if you have them over the pond. It was around here a lot a year ago and it smelled so nice like starburst and tasted sweet with a touch of pine and the high was uplifting like a skunk should be, would like to get my hands on some now talking about it!

this song reminds me of my dear friend who left this earth in 2007. Not sure if many of you know but I am originally from san antonio/austin texas and moved out to san francisco in 2000 but anyway when I am traveling I listen to this song and think of my dear friend who is no longer here.

this band really doesn't like san francisco or the bay area for that but it is a catchy song I must say

did I donate the acupulco gold to you? I had 12 of them at one time and gave a them all away as I had to many beans for myself and being a true sativa i didn't want the long flower time but would love to try some of it if it ever is around here.

by the way the zon has some nice new strains if any of you are interested.
