How shite is this weather quick question when growing outside will the lady's still grow even tho there's f all sun?
It is horrible weather for May and although not ideal the Sun's rays will still penetrate through the clouds. Have you got your plants out?
There in my greenhouse the wind was mental last night actually got up to check if it was still there and didn't blow away ha was just wondering I didn't even think you could grow weed in Ireland till only recently thought you needed tropic conditions how wrong was I lol

yeah I think the plants I'm referring to in my greenhouse in the 80s were sativa's they hit the roof of the greenhouse. it was 85, one of the dullest wettest summers on record, they smoked not bad but that was mostly the leaves. It's autos you got growing in the greenhouse ?

Plants of all kinds love the greenhouse. My girls are still growing away inside under a cfl waiting for the weather to improve so I can put them out,I have insulated ducting coming this weekend so by Monday will break out the not so big big guns(250mh). I got two hygrometers/thermometers,one mechanical and one digital with a probe,they both display the same temp reading,give or take a degree but the RH readings are different by 10%,it would be more practical to go with the higher reading,what you guys think?

so i`m at the stage where there`s nothing to do but keep the res sorted, this means only really a weekly visit to the plants, although i stick my head in to check humidity and temp etc generally just to make sure everything is as it should be every evening theres nothing to do with the girls, did have the small job of re-potting the og but apart from that all`s quiet....

breaking bad tonight....;)

A friend of mine gave me some tomato feed he said would work I haven't tried it yet I was gonna buy decent stuff but the the NPK value says ( UK 10-7-14) ROI (10-3-11) Also has micronutrients of iron, manganese, and zinc this be ok for veg?

yeah tomatoe food can be used, if you go to a garden centre/ hardware shop you will see in the feed isle`s baby bio its a small black bottle with yellow writeing on it, cost like 3 euro a bottle and you`ll get three or four grows from one bottle, its great stuff, been useing it years and have never had any problems....

just gave them there last dose of the big bud, i know i said it wasn`t doing a thing but i could have been premature on that...

the last week has seen major bloomage on all three, and there not thin blooms either, nice chunky growths with lots of pistils and frosting up a treat so i`ll hold off judgement just yet on it and might do a side by side with an og as a bit of fun next run...

so remember the other day when i understood the noobs desire to feed/overfeed their plants in a vain attempt to promote growth but did the smart thing and stuck to the schedule of of less is more! and safe! weeeeeeeeeeellll i found some bottom leaves yellowing... a lot. so i fed them a full dose of the flowering nutes! aaaaand they fucking loved it! got extra lush! a shit load more growth over night with pistils flying up eeeeverywhere! i'd say in a week, proper forming buds will be all over the gaff!

most newbies deliberatly feed to often or to much thinking the more she eats the fatter they will get. lol worst choice people can make.

what you did was fed a hungry plant. good work cloudy.

bottom is only a worry if it spreads up the plant cloudy, then its a problem or def of some description, sometimes if theres not enough light or from pouring feed over them the bottoms will die out but 99% of the time its nothing to worry about...

we start off the nutes at a low mix as its easier to feed more than take away if you get me, like the measure twice cut once thing only plant re-lated hahahahaha....

how many 2700k you got on them? do you have a little 6500k in there aswell, it helps them along a bit and in my experience keeps them a bit greener until late flower...
