hi and welcome to my page so a lil bit bout myself im a 50yr ole grand dad lives on my own so nobody to get in the way of my gardens and have the full run of the house lol
how i got into growing mmmm I had always wanted to do a grow and i split from my mrs the tail end of last year, so i spoke to an old friend who i new had an old lamp and extractor and knowledge we agreed to set up a home made growroom in my spare bedroom so off we wnt to B&Q and got sum wood for the frame and sum ground sheets from a builders yard , got 15 cuttings from a blue cheese and sum nutes. the general idea was for my m8 to pop round 2-3 times a week tell me wat im to do and basically show me and because it was in my house and i taking the riskos we agreed to split 50/50. All was good the first couple of weeks then my m8 stopped calling round excuse excuse excuse. I had been reading and searching watching you tube videos so thought dont need ya I can do this ive got all the kit as such and it is going fine. Anyways it was all going great i was learning how to LST and otheer things like topping, fimmimg ,scrogging, sog i was even puttting some of the LST techniches into place all was great or so i thought!!!! then BOOM NUTE LOCKED with about 14days to go till HARVEST MMMM well I didnt kno did I its only wen i went away for 2nights and came back and they were all (50%) a yakki horrible golden yellow colour so i because i had read aa lil about nute burn and lockout i spent 6hrs putting them all in the Bath 1 at a time and poured about 5gallons of straight water through them all then got em back under the light, i then carried on just watering daily till harvest, I lost 3 plants they didnt pick back up at all the other 12 didnt really pick back up but i managed to get about 12 oz from that garden . i gave my m8 a couple of oz and told him to get his gear and sling his hook. i then found out wat I had done wrong instead of water , feed, water , feed , all i had ever done was feed feed feed feed feed oh well a STEEP LEARNING CURVE WAS LEARNT !!!! i sold a couple oz and went and bought me a 1.2 black Orchard set up with a 600 hps and got me some Auto BEANS and now im 4weeks into this all going well
So thats basically my story feel free to jump in on any of my threads AND JOURNALS I will always read comments and take onboard wen needed
 
here are my babies i dont kno how old they are lol there day28 from germ, day25 from popping through surface in 0.5l pots and day22 from going in their final 11l pots, there in verve compost(B&Q) 125l £7 only straight water till flower stage and ive got plant magic flower bloom 600hps 24/0
these pics are today after 2nd set of LST
 
hi guys hope ya all had a GOOD EASTER. I had a blast had the grand kids anyway enuff of the chit chat
lol.gif
, the ladies are 32Days old now and are thriving I cANT BELIEVE HOW SIMPLE THESE autos ARE
lol.gif
Anyway they have there 2nd feed today they were bone dry i thought i would let them dry out properly and let them roots do some of the work themselves. so I gave them 500ml straight water each to wet them and get them sucking up the moisture then 30 mins after I gave them the initial 500ml I then gave them a further 2L with 0.5 ml pl pm Grow (hopefully last time with the grow nute) and i gave them 0.5ml pl of pm Bloom and 1ml pl of calmag (i put the calmag in the water first before the grow then the bloom.

Lady C the baby that I broke the other day is thriving she doesnt even look like she has been damaged also the top part of her I put into some root gel and threw it in a pot on its own hoping for it to root out again and give me another cola of bud mmm there is 3 tops on this cutting i will post pics of her later on .

If you guys remember the other week i was struggling with the temps and i ended up having to keep the tent door open a little bit or the temps were hitting 30 -31 but since they have started to grow and bloom out the temps have gotten rock steady, some of the ladies are looking a little wilted because i was letting them dry right out before I watered again, and these pics were taken just before feeding some are of other times to
