i think an auto on 12/12 is gonna be shitter than a normal auto...

i knw its gonna affect my yield but i need to switch the lighting for my BLT photoperiod plant so its a sacrifice im willing to make as i know i will pull more bud from the blt, and its my 1st auto so just seeing how it goes not too fussed about it

I can only imagine what Scotlands economy would be like if they had gained independance when oil was found. Even though the majority voted for independance the Govt ruled it out saying the turn out was not good enough, or %'s changed...bullshit. They didn't want to loose the oil. That being said, who owns the oil fields now and who is getting most of the money out of them?
Now, like Closet I am not aware of the fact well enough to make a judgement, but after studying Economics, I do believe there is a case where Smallism can work. There are increasingly too many diminshing returns within larger economies for them to be 100% efficient. Look at how rich the Scandinavian countries are for example. Anyway, off to get needles stuck into me. Laters alligators.

who owns the oil fields now and who is getting most of the money out of them?

The reserves, which generated £11 billion of tax revenue last year, are currently a UK asset and licenses for drilling are awarded by Whitehall. 90 per cent of the oil reserves geographically are just off the coast in Scottish waters.

Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, said a few weeks ago that future ownership of the oil is already the subject of argument but Scotland would certainly come out with “a major resource” if it voted for independence.

Although scaremongering UK ministers have previously carefully avoided giving any indication that most of the oil reserves would go to Scotland in the event of independence. Trust me it will.

Looks nice, the topped plant is going to be huge and bushy, i do this technique all the time, adda a few weeks to veg but well worth it in the long run, do you supercrop? well worth it too.

by all means I would trust you Budman, thing is, I don't trust politicans...period! Salmon is fuktard like the rest of them. They may all be full of idealistic views when they are down the student union living on a bag of cornflakes a week, but when they have bodyguards, top of the range limos and all the other crap that goes with being a leader, then their tiny little minds just canny handle it......and I am not saying I would be any different. It takes a life of smashing up rocks in jail to make people really idealistic, and unfortunately we don't have any Nelson Mandelas that I know of.

That being said, I would really hope that Scotland got the largest beenfit out of the oil reserves independance being reached, but I seriously doubt that will happen, even if "they" say it will. Westminster will come up with something to throw a spanner in the works on that front.

Anyway, who the fuk am I, I don't even live in Scotland anymore, lol. But my heart is still there. (living off a high fat deep fried diet!)

thanks mate, im switching to 12/12 tomorrow i know this will keep the plant smaller than it cud be but im trying to hurry this grow along so i can start my next one in my larger space with better strains, but need the lights from this grow for new cupboard.
as for supercropping ive never tried it not exactly sure what it entails,

 

[DST]

Supercropping is just another method of utlising apical dominance. You are bending the branch, or actually more like snapping it down with enough contact left not to kill the branch off. The method comes from tomato growers who use it to increase yield. Forefinger and thunb at the point you want to bend. Massage the branch until it starts to soften then gently bend (you will probably here a popping sound where part of the outter membrane of the plant tears and snaps, but providing it's still connected it should ideally (providing you also have a good medium) send more auxins to the branch to initally repair then the offshoot is you got a more level canopy and top bud sites receiving simlar amounts of energy from the roots. More big colas ultimately.

Hi folks, only been back into RIU for a month or so and made pals in the Irish thread, don't feel the UK growers thread is really a growers thread at all, just a chat thread, anyway nice to see a Scots thread and over time I'm sure it'll get plenty of regulars chipping in. Me , I'm an old hippy in my 50s , been smoking for over 30 years, without giving anything away I hail from the Lanarkshire/Hamilton/East Kilbride region and recently got back into growing and Its became quite an interesting hobby, I grow in a small bedroom closet, and only 4-5 at a time so that if PC Murdoch comes a chapping I wont get thrown in the nick, heres a couple of pics from my cupboard just now, Its 2 TRAINWRECK Clones and 4 Nirvana Northern Lights I got going just now, the NL are just over 30 days from seed and the Trainwrecks have been vegging for nearly 40 days and are going into flowering this weekend, after I take some clones, so its going to be a busy weekend.

They look nice bilbo, sativa like ones at the back will be huge! What lighting are you using, I have tried them all really over the years HPS 600w, CFL - best results i had was to put the huge ones vertical with no hood but the get hotter than most realize but i built a fan out of 5 pc fans and works amazing but i needed 3 CFL on a couple of plants but really love LED, best i have seen with 300w of LED power!
