Personly i think the man is a hero, its a real david verses golioth story.

I seriously doubt cannabis will be legalized in this state in the next 10 years especially after the brits went back on the whole class c molarkey.

ming will have nothing but an uphill fight, but if you look at the pros and cons then it makes sense to legalize. i was watching black market last night on tv three which is in regards to copied dvds, fake cigs and the such, all stuff which robs money of the government taxes. which has always been around. the thing that annoyed me is that next week its about the sale of grow tents and selling of marijuana seeds for cultivation, can someone tell me what that has to do with the black market. its not like we can go out and buy weed that has tax on it. or the black market work force doing the country in. i will watch next week and see whats its about, if they go on about big production fare enough but if they go on about small time growers then thats ridiculous. most of us on here mostly grow because we enjoy growing and we are dont have huge bunkers with 100`s` of plants so i think there is a difference. personally if it was legalized i would gladly pay for a growers pass or something to that effect. also by growing the stuff ourselves we are paying taxes on the grow equipment, seeds, tents and so on. also we are not filling the gangsters pockets with ill earned gains. its about time this government woke up and stopped wearing blinkers.
thats my 2p worth anyway.
jingle my plants showed much quicker and healthier growth under the 6500k so its not going to do you any harm it will only benefit you, next time use it right from the start. good luck fella.

sorry jack its the npk value of the nutes, yours has a very low phos value compared to bio bloom and i just wonder if that has to do with the size of the buds and growth rate. check out npk value of bio bloom and npk of plagron terra bloom and you will see the difference.
could be something to look into.
lu
i think yours has 1.6% phos and bio bloom has 6% phos. i could be wrong but if it is the case you should maybe try bio bloom next time. i bet that plagron sell another additive which has a high phos value. making you buy 2 products rather than one. any of the big guys on here know if that is the case?

 

[lozac123]

i think hes brilliant too, but everyones right,its gonna be a long time before its decriminalised or legalised. we can cross our fingers tho!

 

[jackjones6967]

hey lu got that info for you ....cannazym is npk 0-2-1 the terra bloom is well doesnt give me a npk scale but is says (in dutch ) 1,6% phos .....
thanks for the info again lu very helpful ...respect ...

for my first grow i only used those two same products for the last 4weeks and only used water that was it and had perlite in the compost that was it ...

Story lads?

Started on LST with the two bagseed plants I have on the go on two weeks ago, so I reckon I'l be starting into flowering in another two weeks and keep on the LST 'til then. Started feeding a small a bit as well, but they're not crying out for anything, I do have a pretty awesome soil mix!

I was wondering when the time is to start an outdoor grow here?
I'd be starting them inside and then transplanting them to the outdoor spot, so when would ye reccommend starting to germ and that?

I was set on Northern Lights, just purely because they're supposed to be hardy and noob friendly, but I was reading up on Master Kush from Nirvana and I really like what I'm reading! Anyone have experience with it?

 

[lotusfeet420]

i feel d same way about ming and i agree with lu, my friends and i were talking about this, and they all said they wud prefer to buy weed if it was legal, and the quality maintained at a high standard(no pun intended). It would also have a double effect of hitting all the dealers. Of personal experience i only know a few people who use drugs other than weed, therefore all the dealers wud be selling the other hard drugs to less people, so theyre profit would go down. My mates are increasingly annoyed at higher cost, and less quality. All sum1 needs to do is tell the people in the dail that it will make them some money and d greedy feckers would do it!!! Also, if u get raided, say well if a td can grow it and admit it to national press and not get prosecuted then why cant i?!!!

 

[tontoboy]

does ming say in the film what strains he's growing?


with all this publicity and support i wonder what would happen if he was arrested?

 

[lotusfeet420]

like most of the tds who break d law, probably get a slap on d wrist and told dat he's a naughty boy and not to do it again!!!! Unless enda doesnt want him in d dail!""

 

[luciferateme]

well hopefully the ball may start rolling and other people will start following his lead, its not like mst people in public serice are not on harder drugs than he is. by cannabis not being legalized the police are wasting there time busting small home grown operations when they should be out curbing the crack, heroin and now meth epidemics. then again its not the first time weve all been baffled by silly policies in this country.
kubla if your looking for something easy for a first time grow try the northern lights or personally you would be better trying a big bud for your first grow, i also heard skunk is a very good first time grow, i had 2 of my five survive but the seeds were very old, but the plants i have have turned out very well.
what kind of kit have u.
also about ming hes not done himself any favours by not giving up half his salary like he said he would if elected. he said he does not want it going to the banks, its ok for us to give to the banks but mings too good for that. he said hell give it to local charity but id like to see that happen, i bet hes regreting he ever opened his mouth about giving up half his wage. although 90,000 for a td is a bleeding joke, half the tradesmen in the country have got more qualifications and studied harder for there professions, they are getting paid not a thrid of what them assholes get.
hope all your grows are coming along nice.
heard its gonna snow again aswell, did any of you guys hear that.
lu

thanks JackJones i hope you get that sorted mate. it could be the answer to your woes.

Lu I've a really basic CFL set up at the moment. I had a rake of bagseed a few months ago so the result is I now have two healthy plants that I've started to LST. I don't know whether to start flowering next week or to continue on with a more thorough LST. If they turn out to be males I'll have wasted time that I could have spent starting the next lot of beans which I'll be buying, or I could have two females and have them heavily LSTd before flowering, which would make for a better yield. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to sink a week or two extra into LST, I mean even if they turn hermie or male I'll have gotten the experience, right?

My setup for outdoors is at a picture perfect location; discrete, great soil and light, and good drainage too. Once the two plants I have now are done I'm going to start germing seeds for outdoor, then I'll have the outdoor spot and run a few autos indoors. I'm really looking to pick up experience, rather than end up with an insane (but lucky) first time grow. I figure getting the know how now will even out the results in the long term.

 

[luciferateme]

call it a hunch but id say they are females if its bagseed you got from weed over here. just remember to add about an extra week veg because the lst will hold the plant back a bit, i topped and lstd a plant and its now maybe 1-2 weeks behind the others but has lots of budsites and hasnt anywhere near finished growing, as for the soil on your out door grow id buy some decent soil and dig a hole then fill it up. soil in the wild may be good or bad and you want to make sure the plant has a good start.
good luck
lu
