New Grower What seeds to choose?

[Notaclue]

Is right!! I'm happy all things considered, it's a proper ghetto style grow haha.. Super stealthy though which I'm happy with. In fairness, going back to my original posts of what I wanted out of seeds/grow/equipment before I started this grow I am proud of my efforts so far. Would like quicker growth but that's a trade off in buying cheaper lights.

Just want something smoke from them now!!

I go away on the 18th and decided to leave them on 20/4 and get a mate around to water them. Should be ready bang on the time I get back (31st) - happy days!

Would it be unrealistic to hope to get 5g dry from each main head? I've got about 30/35, what I would describe as, flower tops with growth starting lower down the branches - if I get 5g dry off each one I'll be growing autos forever!

Just dropped my f**KING lights ontop of my plants. Last time I try and mess around with something while ive got a blunt in my mouth. Doesn't look too bad tho, nothings broken just very bendy now. Will add some pics on see if I need cut anything off

What do you all think?

@pop22 @mohawk warrior @Sleeveofauto @trailanimal @bubblenut

.... and anyone else!

I'm giving them (to share!) between 2-4ltr of water every time the surface feels dry. Diesel is drinking up the most!
Giving them bio-bizz bloom and old timers pk 4-8 each feed & then once a week a drop of Sensi cal mag

Took the advice on here and went with what felt right !!

Mate they be looking really healthy! Keep up the good werk, and as u can see, Training is a must for big bushy girls!!!!!

worst case scenario........ for me atleast
you will get an ounce.... and that's leaving it outside and doing nothing.. I may break that record this year with a far better set up lmao... soil was hot (stupid pro-mix) and I think it was a runt.. may not even finish .. poor lil thing ...

but yours is proper... don't worry.. let it stack

I know yeah, I'm lucky the plants are still sound after dropping lights... Bent a branch on two plants but they look alright, not snapped.. Just going defo stress the plant haha...
Dropped the joint out my mouth and couldn't decide what to save first, being safety conscious I grabbed the spliff off the floor then the lights haha... Never done it before!!

My mate has a Walter White I started off for 30 days and he's got it in a 98x98cm garden tent trying to get something off it. It's August and we've had nothing but rain the last 2 weeks haha

Ive check on my plants again today, they look okay but I can see signs of damage... That I've not see before.

The base of the branch that's bent has actually kind of exploded, not snapped but the stringy build up is showing and where is has 'popped' on the stem is gone a bit brown. Then on the flower tops, that are fresh as seen in pics below (just a bit bigger now) have gone brown -to what colour they should be when ready- but only 4/5 pistills on each one...

Should I leave it or do something? I gave them a bigger feed than usual yesterday because of it

some people do that intentionally.. should be fine, you could have fashioned a splint, thinking may be too late now..
you could maybe build a "stand" to help support the weight of branch while it heals..
maybe even give it a protective gauze wrapping ..
or cut it right off .. its up to you..

I dunno if giving it more nutrients is the answer.. i'd stay course and try not to shock it any more.. give it some b vitamins .. I forget what number it is, but that stuff does wonders for shock

Sorry for no update. Will get some pics on when back with my babies in 10 days.

I tried to germinate a seed before I left and found out it hasnt worked

you wont be sad with DP..
what type of seed did you try to germ?
sativa or heavy sativa dom.. and older seeds may take 2-3 times longer than regular... never give up on it until its fuzzy.. even then let it go and see if it takes lmao.
for now record the batch number and contact the seller.. give them the number and ask them how old they are.. if its fresh, you may have got a dud it happens..
if they all are feck'd its bad batch or they are old as shit and seller is lying, contact breeder and give same batch number to confirm
and even before all of that check your germination method...

So im back and I am happy as fuck!!

One WW is ready . Looks and smells amazing.. unreal amount of frost on there and the buds have thickened up nicely!! It's now being flushed for a week and then getting chopped!

The diesel has a load of buds on it but not much thc, it's still 2 weeks away and just nothing special at all... Although (and you'll see from the pictures I put up soon) it's got loads of buds on it. Since ones ready, it's now got its own light completely over it; instead of being shared so I'm hoping it kicks on. I can't moan at it considering it was a freebie & in a 5ltr pot.

And the trained WW is looking really nice, just very slow flowering growth. 2 weeks away I think. But happy with my LST certainly going to give close to 3Oz when finished. So leaving it to do what it needs to do now - ones virtually ready so I'll have some smoke soon enough. And the others can keep going.

I bought 3 DP auto Ultimate seeds
I'm germinating only 1, in a 20litre grow sack using bio bizz light mix soil. Going into a small pot for a week inside the current tent (while others are finishing off) then into the big sack...Maybe I will do that a week after the baby leafs pop.

Lights......... Whoever said my lights suck. . You are right! They were great for veg but shit for flower... As proof in my slow slow growth! I'm going to sell them, and I'm just getting COB LED like I should of in the beginning.

I need help picking LED COB lights.
My tent size is 80x 80 x 160cm

I'm thinking 400w - I need it to be very quiet as the 2 viparspectra 225w ufo led lights I use now are louder than I thought they would be although not THAT bad.

But I'm only going to grow one a time, then when it hits the end of flowering put a baby in there to keep a cycle going. Looking to grow some little monsters with LST and a net. I'm happy with my first auto grow so going with my gut instinct and grow one big one a time.. So I picked auto ultimate

Anyway,

The brands I'm interested in are

Prakasa 200w cob led
Roleadro 400w cob led

And I need any suggestions..

Price up to maximum 250£

Cheers for any advice!
