Hello from the UK and here is a little on my grow...

Hi All,

New to this game so please bear with me....this is my first grow. I live in the Uk and as explained below, I have a legit back problem called ankylosing spondylitis, the UK gov won't give me the meds I need so I have taken matters into my own hands. Hopefully we can follow in the USA steps soon enough...

Here is a little info on my first grow... I have posted this elsewhere in the site so if you have seen then please ignore/

I started from seed 4 weeks ago, I have 3 going, OG kush and 2 easy Kush (UK strain I guess). I have a 200w CFL red light (the flowering one I think) and I've been using that the whole way. I planted the seeds into small 16 ounce cups and they quickly out-grew them....however, I didn't realise this until an entire week of slow growth. My watering shedule is a steady 3 days and the light is on 18/6. I noticed the roots were coming out the the bottom of the cup and transplanted them 10 days ago and they've been thriving ever since. I'm using bio bizz all mix and they have had 2 weeks on the bio bizz grow. I'm using a closet at the moment, I have no measure of temp or humidity but I think it stays (temp) at around 80 in there.

The plants seem small and bushy (well two do), I've topped one and its taking a while to recover. I think the bushy ones are showing pre flowers?? can anyone let me know?? I just need a general idea of how I'm doing and if there is anything I could be doing to help them? I was thinking about starting flowering next week but they do seem small to me? what you guys think?

Anyway - hopefully I can get a little advice. I have the major issue of odor control coming up soon and I would rather skip the whole carbon filter idea..the local grow shop seems to think they have something called Pro or something that will work but I'm not too sure.

Thanks for looking.

dont see any pre flowers yet. plants look real good though. i looked up your back prob. man i totally feel for you. my back is the bane of my existance. pain meds, injections. more pain meds, ice packs yada yada. so i hope it works out for you. cannabis only makes me relax at night. it never really helped my pain. but everyones perception of pain is different so i hope you get the relief you're searching for. here's some rep. it's all i got to give.

Cheers for the comments... The plants seem to be coming along well but I'm a month into the first grow so it's always good to have other opinions. I might put tthem into flower soon due to time resistrictions.

My back sucks dude, had it since age of 21. They give me codeine for the pain but that shit keeps me awake and makes me feel like shit for hours. I have 2 injections with steroids every yest plus the reg anti inflammatory pills I take. I find weed helps ease things without the shit feeling that codeine gives me. Im not selling.. Just want sum for personal use for the rest of the year.
