Thanks for the welcome back Jay, what happened to the bouncy boobies lol.
Finally got a chance to have a good look at the 2 older ladies today. Quite a few red/brown pistils, not sure if you can see them in the pics, I know they're not great, need to find my phone to take better macro pics. At the moment, I've been dragged into a situation that has the gards involved, just imagine the world almost falling out of my arse when I got home last night to a message on the answering machine 'This is Garda XXX please can you return my call'. Jesus heartfailure!!! Weird Al Yankowitz should do a parody of Coldplay's Paradise .. para para PARANOID!! So there is no way I can bring them inside at the moment without any kind of containment and they're really not in an ideal place in the shed, too cold. I have since found out that they were kept inside in front of a south facing window, so that's all the light they've been getting. I'm thinking it's time to cut and dry these 2.
The third one is in a pot that is way to small so the buds are tiny and the pistils are just starting to turn red. Not sure if it'll be worth even repotting it at this stage.
Not sure what to do, it's been so long since I took a serious interest in growing that I'm pretty much back at the beginning. Opinions...

got some real canna coco plus and repotted the small seedling after passing 15 liters of 5.8 ph food through it and run-off is 5.8 so i hope things get alot better, as for the plant already in trouble i dont know weather to try repotting it as i might destroy the roots, ill see as i go
newbi and no experi wit regulars but will try a few soon.one that springs straight into my head its feminised but ex cheese from green house is amazingmy 3 autos are 4 an a half weeks now so i goin ta put 2 regular plants in now an when the autos are finished it b time for the 2 regulars ta start flowering.anyone recommend a good potent strain for first time grower

what yea got running emerald craic looks dank
I waS Thinking of putting my 1500w heater on a timmer 15 minutes on the hour
15minutes x 24hrs = 3.6hrs
so thats on 25.2 hours a week and cost me around €22 a month
will do some experiments at the weekend

It'll be on 6 hours Rory. Think about 43.20 per 30 days
Damn right about shit from the dealers though, last time I got a 50 bag I swore never again

Ya there's Soap bar going around in the form of slabs of Pollen. (100g). Im a right snob when it comes to smoking and norm wouldn't touch it but i smoked a j the other day with a bloke that had some and it just reminded me of the stuff i used to smoke as a kid, clean soap bar.(even though their claiming its pollen) For the price its going for, depending who ur getting it off it aint bad at all, and it seems fairly clean. Tbh I rather smoke it compared to all the chemically commercial imported stuff thats floating around, That shit is just bad for ya!!Thankfully I'm smoking none of the above
. It's gas the way it still commands the same money compared to top grade stuff that was coming in only a few months back!! Off to watch another episode of 'Breaking Bad'....I've been seriously impressed!! Thanks guys for talking about it so much and making me watch it!!

Guys we need to start growing bigger plants with less numbers, there are not enough 1 pound plants making the rounds nowadays and it has been a lifelong goal of mine to grow one, and now all Irish growers will follow in these footsteps. To obtain a 1 pound plant we must scrog the plant until almost full then flip. This will grow trees, and it should be impossible to fuck up as long as we keep res temps under 20c.
What I used to build this system:
2X20 litre buckets
1 Mc320 water pump (320lph)
Airline tubing and airline splitter
1 net pot
4X16mm grommets
1X16mm T splitter
16mm flexi tubing
Reflective tape to lightproof buckets+keep res temps down
All this cost me less than 60 quid from thebigshop+free shipping, I still have not got the airpump and airstones but this can be built for less than 100 and water is free, so you dont need to be buying bulky bags of soil or clay pebbles anymore. And with 30 litres of solution flowing when full, you can get away with only checking it once a day, even in full flower!
I meant to do a build step by step but I forgot and it's built now so too late for that. But you want to drill 19mm holes for the 16mm grommets to fit through, 1 near the top of the bucket, 1 as close and you can get it to the bottom.
Grow bucket on left, control/res bucket on right. You can see where I have drilled the holes for the tubing
Here you can see the working of the buckets, water is pumped from the control bucket into the grow bucket where it is waterfalled for lots of dissolved oxygen, it then returns through the return tube. Working it this way we never need to touch the grow bucket, we simply top up/drain from the control bucket.
Waterpump located in control bucket
Here we can see the waterpump and where the airline tubing enters, both buckets will have airstones attached to the airline when the buckets are in the tent.
Top down view
The T which will waterfall the solution into the bucket and keep the PH/PPM constant in both buckets
Airline splitter so that you can run both buckets off 1 pump, I will use a 100lph rena pump, any less and you are gimping yourself.

when filling the screen tho iam, is it still not better to 70% fill. just with the last bit of strech in flower isn`t there a risk of "over growing " the screen??

Depends on how much the plant stretches, I should have said "fill it as much as you can depending on the stretch".
