Lets blow this joint wide open

Long time in the coming first set of five leafs :daisy:
Been watering once a week with the wet/dry method which is still probably too much judging by the down turned leafs temps around 60-72 which not helping, weather been ok but still more grey days then sunny in the uk.
due for repot on next watering time. looking very typically skunk with the wide stubby leafs.

 

If they get enough sun they can still turn out great I think!

 

Thanks
agree the heads look gagging for it.
must admit tempted to fizz em up under a light but wheres the fun in that lol

 

Here in the netherlands we get enough light but not always direct sunlight neither. But when put under the roof window they seem to get enough light so far. It often can get thrilling to the point of frustration when they don't come along good though so I understand the urge for a lamp too I've 2 friends who both grow a couple of plants inside without lamps, one of them is quite relaxed about it, they're some kind of auto flowering plant and are supposed to be finished in 8 to 9 weeks, while the other has less certainty for over let's say 3 months So yeah, some fun for the 'sport' is good to have :biggrin:

 

just a matter of waiting it out I think full summer still a few months away here in uk but looking about what's growing in people's gardens and stuff say everything a little behind this year. no above light here so I'm jealous only window light.

 

Just one similar to these:



It did the trick last summer! My friend with auto flowering plants is hoping to harvest at least 2 times this summer (he said he'd try to go for 3 since they're finished in about 9 weeks) But since his plants are already doing well I guess he could try!

 

Oh very nice indeed. found with auto some of em you can add a couple of weeks but that's under lights never done or seen in natural light. think half the battle is making the best of it all.


edit. nice coldest spring since 1979 they reckon.

 

Haha yes, same here across the pond! Coldest 23th may since 1911 or something

 

still may get a late summer which should be good for bloom. I'm kinda getting addicted to the weather forecast.

 

Isn't light the most important thing though, if you can keep the room temperature steady. Since the summer daylight months are still to come I'd have good hopes still even if the outside temps would dissappoint all summer.

 

yup agree on all counts and is early days so maybe I'm wishing for too much too soon. only been one sunny day in last week here.

 

:sunny:The sun is out let the growing begin

 

Quite amazing what a repot and a little bit of sun can do will be giving one away soon no prizes for which one thats staying.
The leaves tell no lies still not getting the watering quite right but been very little care just left to do there thing apart from been using a fan on a timer just to give em stir up every hour.
not a single sign of maturity though so must be growth rate not age under lights would of set in to bloom weeks ago.

 

The great summer swindle looking poor this year cold/cloudy but somethings can still make you smile.

:watchplantre flower

 

And then there was two..


Right been topped and 22 inches being a window grow all very one sided, have trimmed a few heads/branches from side facing away from window.

edited. bit more would of been nice by now

 

tired to stick at slight backwards angle get bit more light into plant

 

Well summer looking like its finally here getting some really nice sunny days now. Looking like they could do with a first feed so will be repotting next watering time into final pot size as I`d rather pot up then feed.
can see the effects of the topping alright now will soon be needing supports or something to grow against only front light so all growth is in one direction towards the light.

Ps give away is doing mighty fine too... share the wealth.

 

My repot kit....
cheap multi purpose, perlite, vermiculite, blood fish and bone, liquid seaweed, two big pot not a clue how much they hold but thats it all there be getting till finished.

 

Looking scruffy repot n spread.
need a quick trim of weak stems rubbish and anything shaded. fingers cross grow somemore decent heads :sunny::daisy:
will plant anything that looks clonable from the trim.
