The cotoneaster is also doing well, i had to cut out the main shrub to get the fence out but it's away growing again just fine.

Normally on the last day of fishing season its keen frost/cauld af with trees bare, this year in the last week the trees were only getting their autumn colours.

The mild weather brings lots of humidity.

Ffs man listen dont let assholes push you off this board if i were you id message potroast and say to him he one of the admins and is a fair guy that sucks about the seeds i hope u get em in the end il warn you uk420 and icmag are stricter than here i been on most of the boards man i still browse a few others but theres a reason i post here over others i might not agree with everything on here but its the best of the bunch im afraid
I got "told off" on UK420 for suggesting that a site sponsor's price for something was over priced and for being anti flushing. It also moves slower than a glacier. I have a look at it about once a week.

I am leaving this site for uk420, I will meet you there with jondamon. I was done badly on this site and in this community and I was told that I would receive some free seeds on this site and when I paid for them to be delivered from America to the UK I was ignored by the seed sellers and the Admins here don't want to take responsibility. I paid 50 dollars to be told that I won't be getting the seeds and there's nothing they can do about it. People in the forums here want to attack me and call me a clown and a liar. I'm done with this website man. See you on the other side my dude :)
I'd listen to Conors advice and use the ignore feature, there's a handful of tools here for sure but the biggest majority of folks are regular people looking to grow some weed.

I'd agree with that. I am a member of several of the "grow forums" and UK420 is by far the worst. I have considered setting up my own UK forum, but it is a lot of work and would probably end up with your house being raided.

Recon it would be a nightmare haven to manage a forum with 1000s of stoners @ different levels of baked :bigjoint: seen some of the abuse mods get and it ain’t pretty …
There is discord groups that are supposed to be good but I don’t get that kinda shit I still use an abacus and send smoke signals. I went on a discord group a while back and ended up phoning people accidentally was so embarrassed so left the group and went fishing ….

I get how Discord works. I have considered setting up a server, but it is all the dicks that come with it, people that type shit like CU L8er.

Aye theres some good folks on uk420 but as mentioned they only want u to talk about there site sponsors now not all genetics in general i dont like that and as its already been said its more close knit and slower and icmag got some ok folks but if you disagree with there narrative or version of history for example then they tend to kick ya off there board on top of that theres lots of pretentious guys on there i find the only good thing vs here they got is subbies seeds on 420 and icmag allows something similiar besides the trading aspect heres better

The logic of only allowing discussion about site sponsors really annoys me, I am not sure I have ever bought from any of their sponsors. Although I do use Plant Magic Old Timers, which I believe was developed by one of their members.

Holy foxtail,s!!!

But pretty.

It's sister is on the direct opposite side but that's fine, all in its a different character to its sister one's more indica/sativa like than its sister, that can only be a good thing :-)
_20221128_114557.JPG
It's about 1" taller and has no foxtail,s, none of the others have foxtail,s so I'm not blaming light for them.

After i done that rearranging i realized days later I'd got some feed lines mixed up, maybe that was one that didn't get enough run off for a spell but I think that's unlikely?

Another time i could see something wasn't right so I checked the run off and Ph, the ph was down at 5.6 but again I don't think a short spell of low Ph would cause that that aside idk what else could cause it?

I've only ever used RIU until there was some drama a few years ago within the chuckers section and a dude called heisenbeans set up his own forum (chuckersparidise) which was going to have no rules ;)
Needless to say they ended up having rules and mods like any other forum pretty quickly, because you kind of need em.
Haven't been on for a long time but was one of the original members , last I checked it was still a good forum, lot of good guys left here for there.

I like this place best. Trolls don't bother me and I generally get on with most people.
There's a lot of solid humble growers on here always willing to share their knowledge while not trying to ram their methods down anyone's throat.
There's also some clicks with massive egos but fuck em , it's life isnt it.

Hey bud, i've read something about that stuff for stopping the stretch but I don't know anything about it.

My plants are coming along nicely after the re pot though the yeild is the real acid test.

Pic wednesday the day i re potted the last of them...
They'd already been flipped circa 10/12 days.
View attachment 5206119
And yesterday, that's only 2/3 days growth.
View attachment 5206120
Strains are,
2x Cheese dipz,
2x Swiss skunk,
2x Blueberry twist,
1x Star doggie (black domina x Ak47)
1xOg kush,
1x Glukies and 1x Bluchi.

It's more of a experimental thing/pheno hunt than an attempt at a good yeild it's just something I've wanted to try and circumstances gave me the opportunity.

Going on past experiences with flipping clones I'm fairly confident of a reasonable return, that said I've been wrong before lol.

Eta...If you want to check out the progress here's a link to the grow.
https://www.rollitup.org/t/cultiuana-ct-720-led-grow-light-review.1080760/

Eta....a note to myself to try keep track of what, when, where I've too much going on and it's difficult to keep track I'm depending on pics from my phone.

#1 day 15th then left for 4-11 days and I started re potting, so the week previous to the 28th August starting with the biggest plants 1st.

The cheese dipz had been flipped 16/18 days previously.
Sorry folks i don't want to keep posting the same pics but it's a follow up on a test/experiment.

Some of you might remember the daft idea of flipping seedlings then keeping them in 1ltr pots until 1/2-2/3rds through stretch?

It doesn't sound like a great recipe admittedly, well fk me!

That's the 4 seedlings in the quoted post above.

How could you not love growing!

Someone is seriously taking a victim side here.

Harry Childs is upset with rollitup because he went off rollitup and bought seeds somewhere and they have a credit processing system that takes a while to refund him.

now its apparently rollitups fault and i dont do my job, and he wants to threaten people with violence over it.
he went on a screaming rampage for 6 pages, others were involved.it isnt just them being trolls hes also taking out his frustrations out on everyone

and rollitup isnt at fault but according to him we are because he chose to go to a discord server and buy seeds which has nothing to do with us

He got banned for some unknown reason.

A loss to the UK thread and the forum overall.
Jondom was banned because of several TOS violations
just ask next time, sucks people cant follow basic rules he told to cool it

Fair doos sunni idk the story with that dude and his seeds i get its hassle you dont need regardless jondamon idk what violations he made but all i know is he was a good guy from all i seen and i spoke to him plenty i get rules are rules but as im sure you know plenty on here liked the guy and respected him myself included plus i have seen him go out of his way to help many a member with there problems the guys defo missed is all also i think cos your an admin maybe some folks would be reluctant to ask you stuff like that

Yes man it confuses me too i get like here has rules that make sense for payed sponsors like all forums but if you cannot just talk about cannabis genetics in general not even repping anyones seeds just talking then its no longer a forum thats too facist i feel uk420 went down that wrong road a bit and it will suffer for it

I am a member of a classic VW forum. It was the busiest in Europe. It always had advertisers and sponsors, but then it became "about" the advertisers and sponsors, it went down hill rapidly.

I had an old bug once, bought it for £50 , unfortunately i went halves with a mate and didn't have a drivers licence and we had very different ideas what we wanted to do with it.

Lost my workshop keys one day and by the time I'd found them he'd chopped the roof off and tried turning it into a baja or whatever.

My brother was big into VWs before his breakdown. Had a variant, splitty van and a lovely matt black split rear window beetle.

Had some amazing times in all those vehicles, most of them involved being incredibly high.

Anyhow, I know that's going off on a tangent.
But you never know you may have met my brother or me if you went to any of the meetings many moons ago.
