the things with drugs is anyone call sell, and they weigh it upto whatever they want and chrage whatever they want and they will always have custom.

im going to get high allday, start reading the howard marks book and germ one of the critical+ later.

ha ha ha i havent played that game in years

Yeah man, and they all work on the assumptionn that you don't own a set of scales and work on bag appeal (where's frollitup when you need him haha). Each time i get a deal i weigh it up (or did until i mated my scales with a pint of stella) and then get straight on the horn to the guy. Normally end up with a "alright mate, i'll chuck a gram on next time around" or "mate, your scales must be wrong, mine say that a 2p weighs 7g, what about yours?" "7g.."

He's a sound guy though, just chatted and it's all been drying out nicely overnight so i'm gonna pop over and have a goosey at it.

And yes, worms is great, although playing against the coputer while sober can get dull quick.

has anybody used the pant feeds called biobizz? just wondering if it is any good and if anybody got good results? anybody got any good ideas when i should turn my plants there all at about 15 inches tall so far also im looking for good yield so i dont want to turn them to big or to small the strain im growing is diesel, ice and superskunk thanks ppl

Biobizz is a great organic product, i got some really impressive results from my first grow, was expecting failure but got well over 2 ounces a plant to my surprise. Your plants will oduble or tripple in height during flowering so switch to 12/12 in accordance with your available height. Should they get too tall you can use certain techniques such as tying down, supercropping etc to keep them at a desired height.

ha ha ha i know what you mean man.

my mates just been to see his mate who grows for his own smoke but does a couple of plants to knock out, it dried on friday so iv just scored some, i shouldnt of really because i still have shit loads from last night but its lovely and cured, 3.2g bag of bubble cheese

i use to have worms armagedon on my old phone use to love playing it when i was in the work van

heights not an issue with growing ive got plenty height but not great width would it be ok to tie my branches closer to the main stem so there going straight up instead of sticking out a little bit , also im using 2 250watt lights for growing 5 plants is this enough lighting for them or do i need something bigger , both lights are dual spectrum . i grew 3 plants under just 1 250 watt on my last grow but only got about an oz each plant wich im aimingfor more yield this time round but the strain was unknown i got the seeds given , this time i bought my seeds so i know what im growing there looking great so far really healthy.ill try and put some pics on when i figure out how to lol.

 

[gazza0312]

heres a pic of my current grow let me know what yous think this is my second grow diesel superskunk and ice its about 5-6weeks of veg maybe 7 ive lost count lol , also i grew these from seed

Never had one die, but from experience with fans (i have a vague understanding of the eletrical hoohar but not enough to pen it out) they will simply fail, rather than drop in their efficiency until dying. It's one of those things i have realised i should keep a backup of, suhc as a spare bulb for the HPS etc.

not such a bad idea running 2 low powered at same time when lights are on then and switch 1 off during lights out, might save a fire.

heres my cheesus at day 44 of veg.. View attachment 1178471let me know what ya think peeps??????

Nah, i mean literally have 2, use one, and keep one in it's packaging. It would take me about an hour to get out and get a replacement extractor fan, that#'s a pretty big window of opportunity for all the smellies to break loose. As it is, my extractor has been going wellover a year now without any issue, even being in the attic during summer where it was reaching 40-45 degrees.

That's a healthy healhty looking plant there lefreq good work!

 

[del66666]

so what if you dont notice its stopped working, would it cause a fire, i been running a 4 and 5 inch together for the last 6 months but only when lights are on. wouldnt want to have a fire when im asleep

 

[lefreq]

cheers ttt i have another 6 pretty much exactly the same

 

[dropdubs]

Hey guys,

From the UK too, well...an Island thats part of the UK. Let's just say Curtis Warren had the right idea trying to bring a load of weed in!

When I started smoking a few years ago, price was normally £20 an 8th with the occasional bit of "good" weed for £10 a gram. But I haven't been offered anything for £20 an 8th lately. Everything seems to be £10 a gram no matter the quality. Most shit over here is soap bar and we never ever get bud for some reason. Had some good hash lately though.

And thats why I am growing my own

It certainly shouldn't cause a fire. The worst that will happen will be your grow cab will ump to say 100 degrees and your plants will all die. If you're not around your cab as much as i am (don't work much atm haha) then it would possbily be an idea to think about a failsafe as opposed to simply a spare unit. My fan is just a budget PKR or something unit that came with a kit, not high end or expensive, not failed though, they're kinda made to last due to what they're normally used for

hello peeps my ladies are fattenin right up i looked at the triches and nearly all are cloudy! started flushing today with vitalink flush never used it so hope its good shit lol! i cant wait to see what they yield i think it will be well over a G a watt and im diein to smoke this shit it stinks lol!

 

[tip top toker]

Well over a gram a watt? DAmnnnnnn

That is just a fantastic sight, i think my heart would flutter each time i took a peek haha. What light are you using on those? (sorry if i've missed all the info in the past, what can i say, i'm quite often drunk or stoned haha)

haha lmao im the same man a 600w hps bro there goin f_ckin mental lmao ill post piks in a few days your ladies are lookin good bro what light you usein ect?

 

[tip top toker]

I'm just on a 400w hps which could probably do with a new bulb, my 600w arrives tomorrow they'll get the last 2 weeks under that one, see fi anything visibly changes. Hopefully my failed scrog will get me about 6-8 ounces off the 400w It's looking really promising atm, just wish i had the penetration power (lol ) to flower out the crap further down. That stuff isn't even going to be viable for hash come harvest time. Once i get the light though, it all pretty much kicks off from there, i'll finally start getting a selection of strains to smoke, i've gotten to the point with my cheese that a thin why not joint for me, is a put you to sleep on my bathroom floor joint for others, 10 months of nothing but cheese and i've gotten a bit of a tolerance it seems (plus i'm bored of it now, that's why i quickly chucked a sweettooth in a small DWC tub and got her flowering, just something, anything to spice it up a bit ).

yea mate hopefully you should see some changes with a 600w theres alot more penertration as you said they will love it lol an i find that if u smoke the same smoke for a while ur body gets use to it will you be usein a 400w and a 600w or just the 600w on its own lol?

 

[tip top toker]

Only one cooltube right now, but i will most probably be making some kind of use from it, even if it's to get a big strawberry tent going haha. Just recieved my bill for elecy for 3 months use since my flatmate arrived, £170 for 3 months, that is a 400w hps, 125w CFL, 42" tv, 32" tv, couple of high end computers, 500w sound system, 600w dj system, well pleased, so don't think i can not have it all running at those prices (Also gives me a small amount of protection should a warrant be aproved as a result of heat etc (which it wont )). As it is though, my cab is 55cm wide, but 2 meters deep (or deep and long, same thing eh) so it would be really beneficial for me to get the 400w hanging on the end of the 600w, as it is, the 600w will be for 2 plants at a time haha,

 

[lefreq]

hey ttt you dont need to worry about a 170 a quater bill when ya hittin a gram+ a watt lol

i notice dj system in there what music u mixin man?

 

[tip top toker]

I'm not hitting anywhere near a gram a watt myself, and sell pretty much none so for me in the growing game, money out is not recuperated (although i guess you could say it is indirectly recuperated)

As you say though, £170/2 a quater, damn, i'll spend that £80 in a weekend on booze food and drugs haha.

As to the DJ kit, it's the flatmates, graduated from a top university with a VERY good degree that could have gotten him to any and many places, so he turns around and decides he's going to be a drum and base dj/producer. Certainly not my kind of music but i can tell he is very veyr good at what he does, and good god does he have patience, he'll create a sound, a 1 second sound, and sit there for literally 4 hours fine tuning and tweaking this second long sound. MAdness, i'd have thrown the gear out of the window 30 minutes in
