i just be worried about the plastic covering mand heat etc defo getting one for next april cant wait to try outdoors again

take the plastic off and just use the insulation, i have a smaller one of them lined with shiney rapping paper lol and it works great ,i did take the cover of coz it raised humidity like crazy,,got a roll of that stuff in lidl meself but wen i unraveled it had all faded patches on it, so much that its not worth using so ill hav to change it

hey, yeh i never finished that thread ,nobody really checked it out so i didnt bother, its a very good plant for a auto buds where massive as u can see from the pic, nice to smoke from the min it dried,,took a 2 week cure to taste the caramel but was just a hint,more like a diesal taste and very nice, chopped at 9 week and it had a happy high,

nice crop mand

thanks trek, i was really pleased with it for my first go.. i hav had better weed but it tasted nice and had a nice stone even after chopping a little early "because ive no patience lol" and i enjoyed it more because i grew it meself like it was my own creation, im a proper smoker and have been for over 14 years, it what i do its who i am, and im so glad i started growing my own, i cant beleave i didnt do it sooner, im sick of the crazy prices for meedeoker weed and thats all it is even the so called amniesia hase is only ok compared to the dam and that only costs 11.50 a gram.. it makes sence to home grow,, the weed is just as good or if not better than street shit,, and i luv growing now, its a whole new happy journey for me. how long u got now?

wer about the same situation as u but our bills were always this high for last 2 years,,yeh we tried to be careful unpluging shit and all that but no difference, one thing thow, i always have the wasing machine on nearly 24hr a day and the oven allot with shithead making gourmet munchies at all hours of the night,but still it seems high, ill defo look into it, even if it droped by 50 ever 2 month ide be happy,, very hard to get by now a days and prob another cut next budget so every bit will help

 

[silvermandy]

anyone still here???

 

[budsahoi]

to keep up temps try putting a big water tank/resevoir will heat up when lights are on and radiate heat at night. takes up alot of room though.

 

[iamaaror]

By fuck it's colder than a nun's tit out there.

orderd my beans over a week ago now from herbies still waitin hope there here tomorrow.anyone thats growing and worried about there electric bill id advise ta get the pay as ya go meter since i got it ive nearly halved the cost.our bill used ta b about 200e every 2 months now that im able ta see what were usein we never use more than 15e a week.its just a keypad that plugs into any socket in the house so nobody knows i have it.great job cant praise it enough.

might look into it marley, i`ve lights on day time so the leccey is that bit dearer in the day, just our friendly neighbourhood chopper likes to come here in the evening and nighttime....

 

[ae86 grower]

jaysus the one night i`m not aout the thread takes off, bloody vomiting bug got me...

there some cracking ideas mand, i`ll be in aldi later looking for that silver stuff, had a bad morning here, after getting the place tidy, sat at lappy then heard a crash...

the missus only dropped a tray of seedlings i had in the window, so ten small plants dead.. saved 5 off the floor but roots are pretty much smashed so doubtful they`ll live.

have to go out today and get the veg box sorted so i can have lights on and no leaks in to the flower room, can`t leave them 12/12 or they`ll flip to flower too soon, although that might be an idea.. a 12/12 from seed....uuuummmmmm....

so another ten seeds down now to make up for it but either way its batch one and two again now which is something i wanted to avoid its going to screw the canopy management all over again..

 

[marley321]

i had that vomitin bug meself the other night i was in bits an me askin can adults get it lol.thats a bummer with your seeds 86 mine still didn come im ragein.the pay as ya go meter is exact same rate as the bill jus that ya know exacly what your usein and theres no meter readings and the big plus is no big ass bill every two months

 

[ae86 grower]

yeah the pay as you go thing would suit me as you said you know whats going on with it, no hugh bills comeing in, that bug got me good, was grand watching eastenders, hour later was pukeing the ring up, slept like a child until 11am....


i`m livid about the seeds, there only reg`s thats why so many but they germed 100% and flew out of the soil so i had it in my head that there was a good chance of fems in the bunch`...

when did you order the seeds marley? if it was close to weekend i`d give it a day or two, the ould post can be slow here... theres not many bad reports about herbies so they can`t be that bad..

 

[marley321]

ye its probally cause of halloween or that hopefully they be here monday.i think that thing in amsterdam got dropped tourists can smoke away happy days.

 

[ae86 grower]

dropped, fuck i tought it was ready to pass, but then i didn`t really keep track of what was going on over there..

i was never intrested in the weed thing until a few years ago, i mean we had all we could handle here, if you wanted smoke or blow or coke you made a call and got it, but when the shit hit the fan i supposed it all changed, shit got scarce here so i started growing, some difference in smoke you grow and stuff you buy, so i now "appriciated" the difference and the dam started to look good for a visit....


i`ll get there soon too, think once i get christmas over and done with i can start saveing to go, so prob some time in april or may...

 

[budsahoi]

86 if theres any root atal left on the seedlings, lightly cover roots with compost and mist and they will take of again. thats why its called weed.

Plumb101 if your only using a 150 watt hps you wont need to worry about heat infact youll probably need to worry more about cold lol there wont be much heat i use a 250 watt hps inside a wardrobe and i dont have heat issues i dont have any venting either, you could grow strains low in smell if your worried about that. flash seeds cobra is a strain thats very low odour and a plug-in air freshener is all you need in the house

 

[budbell]

well bud im also in shed lost all this time last year due to frost,anything under 10 degrees in my view destroys crop, iv spent a fortune on insulation and it helps. i run my lights at night 1000w so no probs there problem is lights out during day iv been alright to know 26/28 lights on 15/16 lights out but last few days im down to 12/13 and its defo slowin um down im sickened shoud be ready in next week or so [ex cheese greenhouse] but no where near the 3 zips approx i pulled off same strain during summer per plant, looks like im givin up on shed idea iv 3 lovely cheese plants vegging under afluro in house and no way im puttin them into cold shed lost my bollox on insulation
but i gonna look into a tent and bring show into house its jus much easyier in shed but i cant contniue in there well sick

Little joke

A man came to visit his grandparents, and he noticed his grandfather sitting on the porch, in the rocking chair, wearing only a shirt, with nothing on from the waist down.

'Grandpa, what are you doing? Your weenie is out in the wind for everyone to see!' he exclaimed.

The old man looked off in the distance without answering.

'Grandpa, what are you doing sitting out here with nothing on below the waist?' he asked again.

The old man slowly looked at him and said,

'Well....last week I sat out here with no shirt on, and I got a stiff neck.
This is your grandma's idea.
