The Irish Growers Thread!

[Maulstrom]

Alright Maul, Wheres Leonards Corner..Ye the south anne st shop is a joke.I went in and asked a Q or two about seeds and the guy just didnt want to know..

It's between Harold's Cross bridge and Patricks cathedral. If you're heading out of town on Clanbrassil st it's on the right just before the turn for S. Circular Rd.

Here's my 6 footer, REPRESENT



Edit: Thats not the full plant, i took about 4 branches off around the middle section a few days ago because they had some aphids on them

Hanging the branches on strings or wires inside a large cardboard box works well, keep them in a dry, not too warm part of the house, box closed to keep the light out, takes about a week or 10 days for the largest buds. You know thyre done when the stalks snap rathr than bend, they don't have to break apart, just kind of snap. The buds might seem crispy then, but if you put them in jars or bags overnight, the moisture in the inside of the buds spreads throughout, and you should have smokable weed. If it's too damp still, lay the buds out in between layers of newspaper for another day or two, and that should finish them off.

Holy fuck blake thats some tree you've got!!! What strain is that?

Amnesia Lemon bagseed, flowered for 65 days

guys
how long does it take for a plant to stop flowering at different sites, my plant has been in flower now for about three weeks and theres loads more new growths of new flowers appearing, shes nearly five foot now and i think shes stopped growing height wise but the new flowering makes me think shell be in flower till next christmas!
i just hope its ready for christmas. i flushed all the plants yesterday and its made a huge difference in the plants, two were kind of stinted in growth and since the flush they grew an inch last night. could not believe it.
tip: if anyone buys one of the b and q ph testers and it keeps reading 7 for ph and the moisture seems to work then its because the plants are not wet enough. the soiul has to be quit damp for it to get a proper reading!, mine were reading 7 and then when i flushed them they went between 6.2-6.8. so im happy with that.

thinking about going to the head shop in tallaght, what are the seed prices like and are the strains any good?

 

[luciferateme]

blake that plant is the shit! nice one.

 

[blakerobinson]

Thanks Lucifer.

By the way if you walk into a head shop and ask for seeds they will probably nearly kick you out. Selling seeds is illegal in ireland now. There is a GROW shop in tallaght village but they're moving soon to an industrial estate nearby.

 

[luciferateme]

thanks blake
i went into the one in town and the only seeds they would sell were dutch passion, dont know about these too much so didnt buy them. they were mostly 5 seeds for 55 euro which i thought was steep and they were not autos which i would like to try next(if this one ever finishes). id say your gonna get some weight off that plant youve got, you must be very proud of that.

Yea thats the one, at the top by the quays. There used to be a small grow shop down stairs but they moved that over across the road in the lane. I strolled into the grow shop one day asking where you could bet beans after the nirvana got torched and they sent me over to ya man in the hemp shop.

 

[luciferateme]

cheers richie

Blake, thats a brilliant looking plant you got yourself there, love that top cola. Cant get over the tiny pot you grew it in too. Soil or coco or what, and what did you feed it? What strain?

+rep

 

[Professor Manali]

Nirvana in Sth annes st still selling a big selection of seeds, just not on display, so you ask for what you want. They have all the usuals, DP, GH, Barneys, HG fantasy, etc. If you get the small beardy italian bloke (he used to be in the Nirvana seed shop that was burnt down), he knows his shit. The bedreadlocked staff in there havent got a fucking clue, they just shite on at you like they know what theyre talking about but a couple of hard questions later, you realise.....

 

[DiggyMcDigg]

Well lads
So I went and bought a kit to start my first serious grow. I'd attempted a few outdoor grows in previous summers but never got to flowering.
Anyway, I shagged up on the old adage of measure twice and cut once. So I have a .8m x .8m x 1.8m Budda Box that won't and will never, ever fit in my shagging loft! It's the only place i'm going to do my growing and it's useless to me!
If anyone has any use for it give me a pm, a token donation and it's yours!

Cheers, i actually had it in a slightly smaller pot and transplanted during flower cause it got so big

I fed it biobizz nutes (bloom, grow, topmax) and it was in biobizz 70% lightmix and 30% allmix soil

The strain is amnesia lemon.

I thought selling seeds in Ireland is illegal now but maybe its just places now wanting to sell them cause its dodge

 

[Jingle]

has anyone else ordered from irishseedbank. Am hoping mine will arrive today, do they slip you the odd free bean aswell???

I am unable to P.M. you, I might be able to help you out plus take your tent for a few quid also..

Measure twice cut once.. I've had to use that rule a few times..

Nope, It's only illegal to grow them, I keep mine for souveniers

Will post up some pics of my grow soon, Plants only starting to look a bit healthy now from what they did look like...
Also, Im using the same strain for the last 3 years (clones/mothers) so time to move on.
Once this grow has finished (Mid Jan) I've 10 different Autos that will be going in and then after them the cold weather should of passed and then I can start my scrog grow again..
