    The UK Growers Thread!

    I've read that the 'Chem 91 s1' seeds give you very close to the original clone in a small hunt. I've never tried the originals (being grower for almost two decades I haven't bought any smoke years) but I'm currently running 'Chem D s1'. I'm not playing, I only popped 1 of them and it's awesome...

    Too many cuts to choose,please help!!

    Oh man, you don't realise how lucky you guys are. I'm UK and if I could get that Exodus Cheese cut which I used to smoke on back in late 2000's, I'd be a very happy person. It was such an amazing loud smell and taste and I miss it so much. You just knew someone had lit one up at the other end of...

    RDWC With not som much "R"

    Hi, I've never done RDWC just regular DWC however I have just read in another thread that someone said they use a cheese cloth to patch the holes. I'm assuming maybe a cheese cloth is too strong to let roots get through but allow the water to. Not speaking from me it's just something I just read...

    What could possibly be wrong here?

    Also I have just looked up what AquaSafe is and I dunno man. Is your water really so bad to need it? Seems a little fishy to me (pun probably intended). I'm no expert on it by any means but it doesn't seem good to me (for plants anyway).

    What could possibly be wrong here?

    Just want to add also that seedlings as small of those for sure don't need that much light on them. I'd say a 450w led running at 45% is still 200w of light at only 2ft away. Seems a little intense for me. I have seedlings that size or new cuts, under barely 50w of led and they never look like...

    Seeds slow to germinate.

    Have you introduced any heating to the tray yet? Where are you leaving them while waiting for Germ?

    Res is growing brown stuff, clouding up, not sure wtf is going on

    Have you checked if the Res lid is truly light proof? Sometime you don't realise how much light can pass through a lot of lighter coloured plastics. Light is usually a culprit for slime growth if you already know your temps are ok.

    Is this just bad genetics?

    That plant looks like it has another month-ish to go. I wouldn't be too quick to toss it. I've had plants before that look like this at this point but by the end they're covered. I'd wait man you could regret it.

    Would you harvest now?

    What do you do for the drying process? The problem you're having I think... is drying too fast. If it's drier in less than 4-5 days I'd say it's too fast. Or if you're aiming a fan directly at them,it might not be enough to speed dry them but still enough so that it's hitting the outside of the...

    Just need some reassurance about something.

    That's what I was hoping to hear anyway. I've also had this in the past too so not sure why I am being concerned. Just kind of all in with this one so do need a good return from it. Also being first grow in over a year has got me returning with more meticulous care.... as the last one I did I...

    Just need some reassurance about something.

    Hi, not a newb grower here but this is just a safe place to vent about something. I know there isn't much you could say but hopefully some off you have had something similiar happen with no issues which would give me some reassurance. I think the only reason i'm being more critical is I had a...

    Nine x Stardawg fem + three freebees fem (my first led grow)

    Hi mate, was just about to say lovely fat nugs however, I really hate to be the bearer of bad news but you got a major case of spider mites. Look at picture 7 and 8. Your buds are covered in webbing and you can see them all over the webbing also. You'll have to get it sorted or get that 1 plant...

    "We got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depended on it." -Michelle Obama

    For the first time ever on this site, in years of using it, I clicked the politics section. I am amazed, it might as well be called CNN.

    My first grow DWC problems. HELP!!!

    Thanks for the extra info. I can't think what secret they discovered to make the plant uptake nutrients out of their Ph sweet spot, if this is how the nutes are supposed to work. Once the Ph goes above 6.0 - 6.1 the plant will just lockout required nutrients. Hell, have you seen how long a...

    My first grow DWC problems. HELP!!!

    Going back to your first post, you say that you have to adjust the Ph every other day. For your Ph to be rising this much within a day seems to be the issue. Just from my experience, which is growing DWC exclusively for over a decade now. When ever I have had plants that start to look like yours...
