    tallicagolf: Thats useful, thanks for posting. Rep+ tyke1973: I grew Dutch Passion Blueberry a few years ago when I could still afford those prices!!! :-) I was a big fan of DP seeds, still am really despite the high price. I think in the case of DP seeds you get what you pay for in terms of...

    UK: Jointsmiths Perpeptual Grow

    Those look great, heading for a heavy harvest :-) Could you explain what you mean by 'Hempy style (sort of)' ? Are you keeping a 2" res at bottom as in Hempy? I'd be intersted to know your method.

    I can't see much wrong with those at all, nothing I'd be too worried about anyway! Are you refering to the slight varigation in the leaf colouring? happens sometimes. Test PH, under a fiver for a reliable manual test kit, takes seconds and accurate enough for soil. I find 2 drops of PH down...

    Bit of Hempy info copied below. 'Runoff' being the main issue this method and others have said that. But its not a big deal. Credit to 'nothumb' of IC forum for this post. ********************************* With my first successful grow 10 days away from being done, it's time to thank the...

    A lot of people are still getting amazing results the old 'hempy bucket' method of passive hydro. Very simple, perlite/verm only, 10mm hole a couple of inches up from the bottom of the bucket which creates the res. When you water (daily) it replenishes/flushed the res. Simple as it gets but I've...

    The UK Growers Thread!

    Thats a powerful message. Its a victimless 'crime', we grow a few plants in the privacy of our own homes as a means of social relaxation and we're persecuted endlessly...... when I was arrested last year the PC booking me in with the custody officer said "small cannabis grow, hardly crime of the...

    Am i f@#ked?

    Keep your timer, get a contactor. I posted this in another thread earlier today, I keep reading about 'failed' timers :-) And I'd give them some dark period, natures way etc. ***************************** Very often cheap timer failure can be prevented by using a contactor, so many of...

    5 Weeks flowered, are they behind? bagseed & crystal (HID)

    Nothing wrong at all with those, just right for 5 weeks flowering and very healthy. Good luck with them.

    revegging a buded plant?

    Revegging works very well and subsequent harvests can be heavier AND every bit as good as the first. I've been doing for many years, some do it as a matter of course. I have two revegged plants on flowering no.2 in my thread now. I know a guy whos been happily smoking off the same 2 plants for...

    Timer Messed up light cycle, 1 day OK?

    Very often cheap timer failure can be prevented by using a contactor, so many of those timers fail to switch grow lights. For reliabilty and peace of mind, use a contactor :-) http://www.seaofgreen.co.uk/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=125&strPageHistory=cat Hope its OK to post the link for information.

    Hi dimebagdan, thanks for contributing, I always think its about what works for the individual in this hobby. I did not mean to put down those autos btw, I know they are really popular atm. I like that heavy couchlock stone and thats another reason for me to reveg, when I smoke those dark...

    Some info copied from 'Gritweed Awareness Campaign". Its everywhere in the UK, almost everyone I know has been sold a bit! Some is sprayed on before the harvest so the buds grow and disguise it to the naked eye almost. Worth a read: ************************************ The first reports of...

    Should i transplant dry or watered?

    Too dry and the rootball can fall apart. I pot up day after watering and just gently squeeze and let it slide out into my hands (as the actress said to the Bishop :-) ). No shock whatsoever if done carefully. I don't personally 'water in' if the fresh soil is moist from the bag and the roots...

    Another UK member here :-) Nice idea! Last year I found myself without homegrown for the first time in 11 years. Had a gifted Q of UK Cheese from a good mate and made it last a month! Refused to buy the crap available locally, tried a Q of local soapbar for £15 and binned it, no taste, no...

    3 pot perpetual!

    I'd rather not discuss that here :-) Regarding reveg, what you get is a far more mature plant. Take those autos you grow for example, they never get the chance to reach full maturity as they flower so fast. When you see a 3rd/4th time reveg you will see what I mean, heavy swollen calyx's (sp?)...
