The UK Growers Thread!

Hello Guys, Please could someone give me some advise, I am very new to this, below are three pics of my bubblegum plant at 3 weeks old, she is in a bubbleponics system alone with three air pumps and a drip-feed system, a week ago I cleaned the system and replaced the water (starting veg state) with 4 gallons of filtered tap water, using HGE Micro and bloom nutrients at 32ml micro and 65ml Bloom, (I originaly calculated this for 5 gallons but it didnt seem strong enough) ph balanced to apprx 5.7, I am also intensively LS training her to move the big leaves and top away from the lower new branches and allow them to grow, at first glance she looks beautifull however if you look closser the lower old leaves are a darker green and have yellow spots and dead holes, having researched I am guessing that the problem may be one of three things, either I have physicaly damaged her, over nuted her or possibly she is recovering from what i beleived to be a lack of nutrients in the first place. Can anyone advise please as I don't want to make a rash decision and damage her further.

Thank you all in advance.

Looks and sounds like a MG deficiency to me.

Buy some MG Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) Buy one specifically designed for plants.

For fast results water & spray the foliage with a 2 percent solution. (2 tea-spoons per gallon, which is per 5 Litre ). If you are going to, then ensure you dont over salt it because you dont want MG toxicity.

Hope this helps! :weed:

Cheers Sambo,some great stuff there,where you find the mags??
they are given away free at most grow shops, my local one always runs out of em fast tho thats why i just read it online, in the 2009 issues at the end of each issue is about 5-6 pages of various busts around the country and there sentances.

made me fill alot better reading of cases like 150plants,£1500,scales/baggies n still no jail time or another i remember from the mag is a guy caught with a kilo of dry gear n 20-30plants no jail time again.

yeah ive got a couple of indoors don using up the last of the blueberry clones finally got threw to me m8s that the strain aint wortha cup of coldpiss and we killed the mother n also got ppp which seems a whole lot better, blueberry is all ive grown for nearly 2yrs mainly cause im a lazy twat n couldnt be arsed with seeds n also ive only really been researchin hard for 8-9months so didnt really no how crap she is compared to others it aint so much the smoke cause that is lovely n go's for 180-200oz no probs its just shes so unstable.

as for speedy new site ive hada look but i dont like the idea of talking bout growing on a site that also has all my contact details cause i may have brought seeds there??? seems pretty dodge to me and also speedy was sending far too many pm's asking for exchanges and also talking about exchanges he had made, i hear you dont flush ya gear so good don and ya weed taste of chemicals lol

yeah i did have a lil larf when he said that, aint tasted ya grn but seen the pics youve posted n if your growin buds like that then im pretty shore you no to flush properly.

i see you just made a comment on honey oil have you ever made it? if so whats the best butune i can buy overhear i no the yanks use calibra or something like that but never seen it in england do ya no if standard ronson is clean enough? chopping 11 on sat and ordering my honeybee extractor on monday so should be good to go once the trim is dry am gonna chuck a half ounce in with the trim, also gonna try turn the honey oil into budder it dont seem that hard.

to be honest in coco you dont really need to flush that much a couple of days and your good to go. shit ive taken stuff down without flushing and its been fine. the thing with coco tho you cant flush with just water or you lose all the micro organisms youve spent 34 months building up so you have to flush with a mild nute solution anyway (if your re using the coco)

yeah ive made it a few times and i really wouldnt bother putting good bud into it youll get more than enough from 11 plants worth of trim.

top tips.

whizz your dry trim through a blender first
use a container with rounded corners pyrex dish is perfect
sit the container in a larger dish ( i use a roasting tin ) of water out the kettle thats nearly boiling but not boiling, helps evap the butane better

as for the butane its up to you just make sure you let it dry properly and it should all evaporate, youll know its hit that point when it doesnt smell of gas, funny that haha. it should be waxy by this point.

i used ronson but you can use any really the test is squeezing some out on a mirror any white residue and its got contaminates, wont kill you but taints the smoke a little. just dont buy camping gas that shit has stuff in that stinks so you know youve left the gas on.

you can re cook the oil to make sure youve got all the butane out just be careful, use an electric heat source ;)

if you can go to a cash n carry for the tins of gas or youll look like spotty teenager down the corner shop buyin a tin every day cos they wont sell you a box full, thinkin your huffin it out the back.

as far as i know making budder requires machinery?! whats the tech for churning it without a machine?
