All right lu , Took your advise and went for the 250W HPS today Hopefully have in week 1/2 and get these two into flower. Normally how far would you need to keep HPS away from the plants trying to see will I let them veg for another few weeks they are already at 14 inches tall ,

Did you pre-germinate them in water or whatever? Or just hoof it into the dirt?

jingle dont worry some seeds take a lot longer to pop than others, did all the seeds have a little tail when you put them in the soil. also make sure you dont put the seeds too deep in the soil. i bury the seed about 2-3 mm down and then crumble some soil between your fingers over the top.
harrekin they are looking sweet as, its mad how the plants take up every inch of the space in the tent. i had five in but ive had to flower one seperately because the tent was not big enough for five.
willoco try to keep the light about 12 inches or at least thats what i do, but if you have really good ventelation you can try get a bit closer. the plants look very fresh and im sure they will be a nice size once they go into flower, a nice crop ahead fella!
jack jones if there is no alternative then you will have to super crop, this means bending the top of the plant about 10 inch down and folding it over, it looks harsh and make sure you dont break it completely. its like bending a pipe 90 degrees. the plant can still give the buds what they need.its a nightmare when they overgrow space, i have a skunk trying to touch the ceiling aswell, ill break his back before that happens.
ooh yes harrekin i was looking up the air pots which look sweet but what would they be like if you got hit by bugs, the little shits would swarm those pots.
i topped all my new ladies last night, i was going to fim but i think that toipping is more reliable, also i wanted to stall the grow a bit until the next five bfore them can go in the flower room. its a bollox when you get greedy and dont have the room.lol!

They're all Snow White but that one at the back is clearly a sativa dominant phenotype but it has the bud structure of an indica (perfect mix!), I reckon Ill be keeping that one as "Special Reserve". Hope I get shiteloads of trim off them all too, wanna give my Bubblebags a spin!

Im baked and was thinking, it would be seriously cool if this was legalised. Id love to see all of you guys grows up close and show mine off aswell, trade clones, seeds, etc. We could start a chain of coffeeshops spread across the country too, so we could share the love to everyone (and clearly get rich at the same time aswell,one has to be fairly renumerated for their work!)...that'd be the day I finally got a bit of faith back in our political system.

EDIT: And Lucifer, Ill be getting those Airpots next month for my next grow, so we'll see how they do soon enough.
 
well luciferateme only seen that now thanks yeah have to get a bit of fishing wire or sumting to bend it over ..yeah deff gona super crop my next batch get way more...

Hey every one, not sure if this the right place to post.I was hoping some Irish growers could give me some tips on where they sourced their lights and other bits of kit needed and generaly any tips on how to build a good stealthy grow room.

pat hat, your best bet is to get online and source ur stuff online, seamus-grow are one of the cheapest, otherwise grotek in the uk are very cheap aswell. if its a stealth grow you are doing your you will let us know what size? you could probs get all you need for about €200-250 and that will grow you about 4 plants. let me know your budget/space and ill see whats best for ur needs.
harrekin those air pots look cool, where are you sourcing from? i had to go buy 4 new 11l pots today. also picked up a clip on fan for €18 from dig. quite cheap i thought, just a shame a lot of there other stuff is so dear, asked about a extractor fan €125!!!!! u can get the same one on ebay with all fittings,ducting and carbon filter for about 80 delivered. so pat hat, dig in tallaght is ok for nutes,pots and clip on fans!lol!
ill be defo doing a sog grow next time, been looking into it and makes most sense. i think with the couple of grow areas i could squuze twenty plants in. did you look into it harrekin.
just noticed doiremick hasnt been on in a while, hope everythings ok with his grow after he posted that link?
