i love a heavy flush!

Hi guys, I'm new to the forums. Stumbled into this thread and thought I should say hello! I've not grown for about 6 years, but I'm in the process of setting up a small cab. Got some Sensi Silver Haze & SOL SweetTooth#3 beans from before, so hopefully they'll be viable, and I can contribute some ganj porn soon!

Hey Snappler, more the merrier dude.

LLP, I'm betting that ain't a hashberry earlier you posted, grown a couple of packets out now and never had anything quite like that - no foxtailing at all, just tight round nuggets from skunk to lemon to berry but always tight and dense. Also, have been told white russian buds like a small AK and that looks real similar to my AK48. Best it smells better than my sausage AK tho

I'm with M@rg on the velvet buds dude, real plush.

 

[lovelightpower]

yes-i McSnappler, good to see you in the uk thread.
hopefully see you around..
siver haze is one of my favorite smokes, well bout 8 years ago it was. looking forward to seeing what you get. how old are your seeds?

thanks Ryu, M@rg, mutual respect bro's.

not sure the problem you had m@rg but me p.m. seems fine now, Ryu got through ok...

ST#3s must be from late 2001, the SH are probably from '02. They've been stored in breeder packs next to silica gel sachets, so fingers crossed!

There are a few tasty clones doing the rounds near me, but I was hoping to keep my endeavours totally stealthy, so will try to get back to a level of self sufficiency, before having to resort to alerting local herberts that I'm growing.

 

[lovelightpower]

hey McSnappler, those silver haze seeds sound like they are gonna be REAM, gold dust mate pure gold dust!

can't wait to see what they turn out like....

sup every1, new to these forums, been lurking for a few weeks tho...gonna be setting up a little cupboard grow n see how it goes...really wanna master this skill! i get obsessive about getting good at things sometimes and for some reasons ive really been motivated to get on the case..

used to be an overgrow years ago (thegreenfood i think tgf_uk my username might have been- only had a few hundred posts i think) when i was helpin a mate do his little cupboard grow every now and again...never really had the passion though which is why i couldn't be bothered learning too much about it. it came out alright a little too airy and not tight buds.

the uk hemp expo was one of the reasons i have decided to really follow this obsession and get really good at it. met lovelightpower(SUP! ) at the hemp expo who told me about this place and how it was full of knowledgable people ..so thought id get some advice on here. was asking some advice on something that happened to an acquintance of mine which i was sorta curious about on the security and legal board.

anyway...hopefully ill start getting my stuff together while doing some more research and see if i can grow somethin real ...nicceeeeee

 

[lovelightpower]

hey greenmunch good luck getting your tings together man.

[tricky]

wot pic's

 

[McSnappler]

My space is coming along nicely now, couple of days & i'll be ready. I've got a concern with ventilation, and wondered if any of you UK guys had any thoughts. Sorry to cross post, but if you don't ask.. http://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=109783

 

[lovelightpower]

i'd always buy a slightly bigger fan than needed...
sorry, i know this isn't very scientific.
but looking at the other thread you linked us too, looks like you've got enough science behind your workings out.

Would YOU hump jacqui smith to legalise weed?

Cheers LLP, all I can do is try I guess.

Hi McSnappler,

I think you got the venting sorted, give yourself a bit of breathing space when choosing and run it for 24 hours with no plants and check humidity and temps.

I got way caught up on this when setting up my first scanky attempt at a wardrobe, was worried one large 12cm fan would not pull enough air to cool a 150W behind glass. To cut a long story short, I put the fan on backwards somehow after messing with it so much and most of my first grow had the carbon filter pulling in! doh! funny as hell when I figured why the DIY carbon filter wasn't doing shit to the smell

Basically, try it and adjust. You gotta do something pretty funky to kill most plants, the rest is just optimizing your yield and environment, easy to get caught up in the theory.

I do like the sound of square ducting tho real clean.

Hope yo get some monsters in there dude.

Hey Stoner....I would but it would have to be doggy ways

Thanks dude, I appreciate your advice.

My first attempts in the early '00s went well in terms of plant growth, but every time, I stumbled on whatever area I had failed to prepare for in that attempt. I've had a bit of a break from it, but now my circumstances dictate I can get away with a tiny little cab. This is why I'm trying to plan everything to military precision, so I don't have to stop again, ever!

I've got a big old fan now, 5" xpelair industrial jobbie pushing 230ish CFM, and the total volume of all three chambers in the cab is only around 8 sq ft - I'm hoping I can run the fan quite slow to cut down on noise. I've come up with a bit of a compromise in terms of the flat ducting etc now, so when I've finished I'll whack up a couple of pics of the cab.

Don't forget that if your growing in soil in a small space, humidity will go up and temps down once you get ladies in there. I get a major shift in my wardrobe after heavy watering in full flower but my intake is too small to allow major flow.
If you can get away with the noise, slap it on full

Realized I ain't posted any pics for a while - My first CS feminized skunk #1 test subject. Wish I had given her a bigger pot, way more vigorous than the seeds I made em from. Is this normal?
