What kind of yeild did you get with 2?
Im going for the Auto AK47. Plenty of space for them to grow.

Just a quick question, would it be better to build an actual grow box or not? I have no need to conceal the plants I was only thinking of using a box to keep the heat a bit more regulated, even in summer, the uk has cold nights.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

If I lived in the dam, I would simply be a vegtable. I would not be able to muster the strength to type this ;)
I live in the UK been the Cup last year, was amazing I wanna go this year but its either the Cannabis Cup or Growing some, I have to grow this year. The only good thing about living in the Uk is flights to and back from amsterdam cost under $152! So I make trips there when I can.

If you havent been before checkout flyingpig.nl Really cheap smoker friendly hostel.
Just down the road is a coffee shop called freeworld think there websites freeworld.nl or something along them lines, Its really good priced top quality bud, and its a nice place to relax, no pushy sales :)

Peace

Lol yeah can't save enough cash these days that's for damn sure lol.


This was my first documented harvest on this site lol, 2 plants both under 2 feet tall. Not SoG style, just super cropped and slight LST. Never got the full weight but when I was done I had almost 4 full jars. Don't know exact weights because well, I think I lost my scale or broke it or something, had to order a new one and well I got impatient lol. However I can usually fit about an ounce per mason jar.




Yummy yummy yum dude, looooove fruity strains :weed::hump: (Lol the hump guy looks like it's violating the licking one, totally didn't mean to do it but it's funny so I'll leave it lol.).

right on doobs look like it was some decent smoke!
thats all i usually get is a couple mason jars full with some methods.. i think SOG or SCROG best bet with 250w ive tried them all ways and i think i like these the best!

What temp should the grow area be during day and its night time?
Being in the uk the average temp is reasonably low, I imagine a 250w HPS would give off enough heat to deal with that?

Temps are around 9°C at most nights, getting warmer tho, Was thinking with it being an auto flower the lights will be on 20/4 so I could make the "dark" time in the day as the temp will be warmer?

Anyone?

Thanks for the compliment Wretched, yeah that stuff got me pretty ripped, I gave my friend some and he said "I smoked some, then when I was riding my bike (Crotch rocket) home it was like I was in Toonville.", I took it as a compliment lol.

Oh yeah for sure, SCRoG is awesome, and hands down by far is the best grow method I've seen.

Kind of freaking out about my SCRoG at the moment, we applied for another place, but the move in (If approved) will be around June 5th - 15th, so I'm having to keep my plants in Veg lol. The screen is almost all full which isn't too much of a concern really, because my grow space will be much bigger when we move (Huge Double Closet), and I can just get another screen and blah blah. Anyway the point is SCRoG is exciting even in veg and I love it lol.

Maybe I'll see you there lol, girl, her best friend (I got plans heh, wink wink :twisted:) and I are trying to make it to the Dam this year.

As far as the autoflower thing, my friend has some autoflowers going, and from what I've noticed is that the hybrids tend to grow out a little bit bigger than just the conventional lowryder. It's not the auto ak though (This time around anyway), it's the BB (Dj Short) crossed with Ak. The other one is BB (Again Dj Short) crossed with lowryder. He grew out some of the other strains too, like the White dwarf, Lowryder 1 & 2, and those didn't seem to have the gusto in growth that the Ak or BB crosses had.

Those WB's make me green with envy Mind, really nice buds dude. That new camera takes some crazy nice shots too. This grow I'm going to try to buy a 30-40 dollar kid's toy, but it's a microscope that has a preview screen, up to 400x zoom and takes pictures/video lol. Gonna try to get some good trichome shots, this time around.

Looks like you and Wretched have been taking care of questions, so I'll just sit back and smoke a doober, no need to repeat info consistantly lol.

Doobs,
The WB will be starting wk 7 monday.It is a 7/8 weeker i have read.The trichs today are about 70/30 clear/cloudy
I think i will start flushing her starting monday,what do you think...:peace:
Click to expand...
WB is a hybrid that leans more towards the indica side if I remember correctly, so I'd say 10 weeks then harvest. Start the flush on week 8 or if your first couple of amber trichomes show (If hydro is like soil and takes 2 weeks to flush). 10 weeks will get you a pretty heavy stone, especially with an indica hybrid.

This is my preference because I like a heavier stone, if you like a more clear and up high you might want to shorten down that time to like 9 weeks.

Hope this helps Mind, I know you're at the "pacing" point of the grow lol.
