The Irish Growers Thread!

[ae86 grower]

think the coppers an an phoist are too bang wide too the clone thing, so er mail possibly turn blind eye or something!!!!


can only tell you i don`t know many irish growers that swap clones, seeds are a more secure way of getting strains around...

 

[ae86 grower]

kang any update on your girl.. any improvement!! hope shes getting better, have you sourced the root of the problem or fine tuned where it is or???

 

[ae86 grower]

haveing fun planing and plotting my grow room, i won`t stop until its done, even though it may take a week or so to complete and the flowering stage is along ways away as we have to still find a female then clone from her and then 70% fill the scrog net... god sounds awful when i read it back, but for decent yeild i`ll plod on as i have too...

also gives me the lee way to get the whole thing together and bullet proof, think i have my perpetual problem sorted but i`ll have to do a run to be 100% on it...


still mad to hear estimates or actual harvests from 600w hps, i`d love to have enough after this run to make butter and a bit of hash..

They say led require only 30% of the nutes compared to hps lighting and with aireated water only ive been giving the cobra the leaf damage has stopped and its looking healthy again, i have it under both the blackstar leds now without any cfl, the seedling on the other hand is not doing good at all, so i put it in a cupboard under a 125w cfl and the plain water is not helping it at all so i just gave her a light feed at 0.6 ec so it will either recover or die but looks hungry under the cfl.

Theres an irish vendor on SR now from ireland selling to ireland and the eu, he has amnesia haze should anyone have cash and be interested lol next day post!

got alot going on here and birthdays every fuckin week am abit stressed out, bought a 50 bag yesterday and it was one bud about 1.8 grams and full of seeds lol still gets me stoned tho but looks like ill be going clean for a while til the bud production picks up on the cobra

 

[ae86 grower]

same here, well on the going clean for a bit, smokeing way too much and the shine inda goes off the stone if that makes sence to you guys..

the tray of seedlingsa has now popped above soil and comeing along nice and uniformed, the three seedlings a week ahead are at the first true node, so couple weeks now and we should have 2 mothers to clone from and our garden can really get going, nutil then its the waiting game....

think i need a new timer too, there seems to be a discrapency of 30 mins in lights on and off, can`t get the thing to time right, think one of the little switchs is damaged or broen, so will invest in a contact strip with timer a 6k one i think so it can run the 600w when time comes...

also exhaust fans... recomendations lads? something quiet and good enough to pull air off two 600w.. no cooltubes have been warned off them so won`t use them..

 

[ae86 grower]

watched about an hour and ten mins of that film ted, with mark whalberg.... its ok some giggles but watch it on-line you`d kick yourself if you payed to see it...

 

[Mastergrow]

I've 3 600w light in a room with an 8" td silent exhaust fan, pretty expensive but sucks a lotta air and is pretty quite too lad.

And don't be asking what yeild I'm gettin cos unfortunately there's nothing in the room yet, waitin to get 2 9 big pot wilma systems, should be goin in about two weeks, lovely!

 

[billy2011]

Clones can be shipped. Light sticks are used to maintain light. Up to 7 days is possible with right packing and light source, but plant will start to stretch after a couple of days, not reallt a problem. Tissue culture is the way to ship. Both parties would need the technology.
In regards to An Post, once its packaged correctly I don't see a problem. I get weed sent over from canada every 2 weeks and have never had an issue. Ive sent numerous dodgy items throughout ireland and never had a problem. Just think of the amount of mail that is floating around.

 

[ae86 grower]

yeah its not impossible billy, just don`t think its the done thing here like....

and it would be a great way to share strains lads we may pull the finger out, i`d be up for it anyways...

still looking for 600w estimates a plant, i now veg and all counts but throw it out there anyway, am i mad looking for 3 to 5 oz a plant...

 

[billy2011]

Yes, you are mad!

that sucks eggs kang... man your not getting it handy atall...

birthdays i can relate too, seems like its one after the other, and her bro got engaged at weekend and on invite to engagement party it reads " no presents please, just a cheque to cash or leave cash with geraldine"... cheeky bastard, then theres a wedding in august.. and the list goes on, honestly you would have to be growing money to keep up. hahahahaha....

whats your line of thining on where these are going wrong ? by now tho you must have just about tried everything!!!

 

[ae86 grower]

Yes, you are mad!

mental capacity aside tho, how far off am i....

run down of how it will go down:

clones under scrog net, in 10 litre pots, hempy type...

veg under mh, until sreen 70% filled, screen will measure 1m wide by 1 and half long so 6 plants....

flower under dual 600w....


yeild estimates please....

I reckon u can get 3 per plant easy enuf m8, when I get my wilmas up and running, first run I know for a fact I'll get 2 per plant and after that once I've got the feel of it I'll be disappointed with less than 3

 

[Mastergrow]

I've run a couple of Scrooges, the best yet bein 2 bluewidows in a 1mx1m scrogg which yielded 16 o dry, and that was under a 400w

same line of thinking as me...

managed fine got 1 a plant would be disapointed with less this time, and again let me stress that its not a grow to sell, i want to make some hash and edibles for my own pleasure. the wilma system is savage and eventually i`ll manage to be able to invest in other mediums and the like, but for now i`ll upgrade my lights and work down to the bubble buckets or a simular 4 pot system..

how long did it take to get the screen filled? did you veg under the 400w mh bulb?

 

[Mastergrow]

Didn't really keep track of time m8, I'm sure it was around 5 or 6 weeks, didn't take long with the bluewidows, def the best I've tried for scrogging so far. I vegged under the 400w hps and flowered under it too, this was in a big4pot wilma, they are the job. If ur scrogging m8 def give the bluewidows ago at some stage

 

[ae86 grower]

first shot at a scrog this time, should help with the height issues and yeild a little bit...

5 to 6 weeks isn`t too bad and with the expected growth spurt when roots hit the res in the hempys so all in harvest time shouldn`t be too long...

yeild estimates please....

I was only joking bro. I just guessed by the fact you were asking the ques you prob wouldn't be hitting 5 per plant. At this stage in your growing career I would be more concerned with quality over quanity.
I didn't realise you were scrogging. Dont know to much about it tbh. Is 6 plants not alot for the space you are using?
Your growing from clones, I presume you have grown out the mothers already?? What type of yeilders were they?

 

[ae86 grower]

ah yeah dude, took it as a joke, haven`t grown mothers yets, have just popped the seeds looking for female from reg seeds thanks to a donor from on here, so when we get one i`ll clone from her...


asking as i only grew with cfl`s and have no idea what to expect from a hps bulb, the difference is supposed to be awesome, and from looking at smokey and har to name but a few i`m going big


i was thinking 6 plants as it would cut down on screen filling.. don`t know much about scrog myself bill...hahahahaha....
