ladies and others ..mainly ladies .. welcome aboard the superfast express diary courtesy of yours truly .. we will be taking a few weeks to gain altitude ..but once at cruising speed it should be a short ride ..for this diary i have chosen two fast autos ...and probably one of the nicest tasting autos ive come across .. the pots ..well ..ive used two baskets which always produce well ,three 3 litre round pots and two of me trademark wellington boots . in the boots will be +speed auto (hence speedy boots) in the baskets will be the gelatos and the pots will be the black creams . the medium is a mix of jacks magic with coco coir ,neem and other beneficials added ..the nutrients being used for the autos come courtesy of @Intense Nutrients and their organix range . the light will be provided by @diyleduk and their scope v1 ..currenty turned right down on the speedo to minimum output . this is also the first time in years ive cleared me tent out ..it was washed down with worm castings (see thrip thread) and then sterlised ..its at this point i noticed all the bottom bars of the tent have rusted away .. maybe there will be enough points this year to replace said tent ..who knows .. so folks ..the seeds have all been sown directly into the medium .temps are sitting tidy at 21 deg steady day and night for the time being .

Black cherry punch mac 1 from @buddy13 I saw someone say it's the best bud they've ever smoked and I was thinking yh hes over hyping it but yh hes not joking this strain is mad. I haven't even cured it yet and I gotta keep putting down the spliff. Glad I subbed for these.

A couple of the Animal Biscuits f2 at around 3-4 weeks

I have just chopped my second run of the beautiful purple Pheno bang on 9 weeks, it’s drying as we speak. I have put another one in flower a few days ago but she is in a bigger 11 litre pot and has been topped multiple times in veg. I am going to chop the other lanky Pheno today or tomorrow so will get some photos. Disco Biscuit (purple cut) @ day 63

I had one of my black macs throw out a few pollen sacks (my fault) A couple months later my mrs cracks open a bud and out pops a lovely dark striped seed. For a laugh she stuck it in a bit o compost and grew it out.. not a single nana in sight from her or the clones and still hands down some of the best smoke iv had Shes now a mother. I still have 4 of the original seeds in the stash. Couple cured buds from the first lot of cuts.. And a bit of sticky dry sift PsychoBadger fusilli. Hope yer all high and well

@Dr feelgoods Zombie Kush x Disco Biscuit x Gorilla Glue 4 twins at 63 days I think.

old pictures....learned a lot since those days.....

because as I've already explained, you deleted the message from your end, but a copy remains in the recipients inbox until they delete it not so clever as one might think one is eh no I'm sure you didn't expect your blatant lie to revealed

I deserve one because in the words of the lovely Tammy Wynette... Sometimes it's hard to be a Woman (on this testosterone and THC fuelled site) and also I've got the tits to fill that t-shirt.

Purple,just been to a plot to totally tidy it, the popcorn we left on stalks is still trying and smells beautiful.

Seed photo image to say thank you to @Vicfirth12 for his talent and time. Thanks also to @Joolz for getting them to me.

I made the f2s from hazydaze's f1s.. Dont let him see you said that They're worth popping mate, if you like ridiculously pungent, sweet and very potent smoke? Easy to grow, 9/10 weeks in a good enviro. Old school stench like!! HazyDaze did all the hard work i must stress.. Here's the mums i used. One smooth very traditional old skool funk, the other potent skunky strawberry flavours gann on. Strong but functional high to them. Cpt

Some Psychosis x Animal Stomper flowers, seeds created by @Vicfirth12. Subbie seeds for the win . Stunning plant. .

I agree. Although I was at better odds than 50/50. Some bullet proof phenos and some phenos prone to mold. As is the case with almost every strain I've grown outdoors tho tbf. Def gettin much better results over the last few years tho.. next year is gunna be more numbers, out later (smaller in size and easier to maintain) which will result in a lot less stress! Big 13ft tall n 8ft wide trees are really nice to grow in some ways, but a ballache to support and inspect. Smaller plants more spread out will help wit the mold too..peace

Trim piling up so time have some fun with ice again. I wanted to take my IWE game right back to the fundamentals, as I aways get a good return but wanted to focus on quality and purity - definite room for improvement in that respect. I took plenty of notes from any Frenchy lectures and workshops I could find, and identified where I might improve my technique: Less ice: to reduce breaking down of green matter through grinding, leading to contaminants. Sound should be 'clink clink clink' rather than grinding ice. Less material: I'm always tempted to chuck it all in at once to save time, but it's a false economy. Less agitation! Idea is to let the current of water gently do the work. In the past when I've not used a machine, I've resorted to a wooden spoon in a cordless drill. Gets a fantastic return of very green, impure hash Based on Frenchy's method, I went with just three all-mesh bags; 190, 160 and 45µ. 190 as the work bag, 160 to catch anything particularly interesting of that size (if none, use as work bag instead of 190), with just the 45 for collection. I worked in a separate 25 litre bucket, running it five times (mixed with a wooden spoon). 1st time stir for one minute, 2nd time for two minutes and so on... Each time tipping it out into 5 gallon bucket with the bags. It was my first time using a hose to wash down the sides of the bags in situ, getting the resin nicely collected in the centre for easy scraping. This alone is a game changer! As expected, the return was less from each run but clearly the quality was way above what I've produced before. I got a fairly equal amount from each run and probably could have ran it three more times, but alas, I ran out of ice and time. The patties were in the freezer for 24h, then planed and dried for another 48h. Then came the real test of quality: the Frenchy hot bottle press. Good result with very little pressure! All but one of the balls got wrapped for ageing. I greedily tucked into the loose one and went to bed half an hour later First press... Excuse the random hair Combined trim from a HSO run was used for this. OGKZ, The New and Bubba's Gift. The trim was fresh frozen, packed super tight into small smell-proof bags. For my next batch I've got a load of unfrozen, dried and cured trim from my last grow. I'll keep the method the same and see which kind of trim I prefer. Will try and take some more photos of the process and workflow next time too.

subbies. I got this one out of my 1st pack . only germed half of them

So harvest season has finished but mushroom season started back in September . I went back to my hidden spot and picked for a few hours at the weekend for 4 weekends in a row. I have a agreement with the local farmer. He allows me to pick this field as long as i don't tell anyone about this gold mine ( Fine with me ) I've been picking at this place for years and i take care of it . I think that the weather is about to turn really cold so i'll have one or two more picks before they die off.

That's right, we are giving away a UK420 T-shirt and a pack of subby beans to 5 lucky winners to be in with a chance of winning just post in this thread and tell us why you deserve to win one Usual UK420 comps rules apply, it's open to all members who register before today Life time subbies get three goes, annual subbies get two goes, every body else gets one go each posting more than your allowed amount will mean disqualification!

sorry but you are a liar you may think that because you have deleted the pms from your end they are gone, that's not the case, they still remain in the recipients inbox until they delete it I've seen the message from you, and it was responded to a couple of times and replacements were offered which you never responded to

Dirty Larry day 25 ish That’s it for now till next time take it easy..

finished yesterday

Blues x OGKZ by @zabz day 60 Lovely skunky aroma

PAR+ 465 PRO. Everything about it is overkill and probably not needed but with your spider farmers and other cheap plate board lights about it had to be done.. 1.5mm core wire throughout, steel fixings, remote mounted HLG-480 driver, 3384 leds per board. All the wiring, testing and QC is done by me and Craig so you know every lights been through our hands and done to comply with LVD standards. RRP is £679.95 This was made to replicate a 600w hps in not just PPF output but also the photon density. Testers are needed but i need to click your profile and see many years of consistent growing without having to dig for the odd diary here and there.

Kids these days

You are probably more of a troll than a lefty tbh

@hazy daze still just a seed maker. We're working lines and testing one off f1s that could be a viable release. No official company name or owt like that yet. Still building.

I did another run of fresh frozen footloose today.... It should finish the dry cycle in the freeze dryer sometime tomorrow afternoon, then I’ll pull it out, sieve it, bag it and press it on the rosin press. I’ll try to get some more pics when I do.

This is absolutely gold. So not only is @Nervous a gobshite who derails threads and contributes the grand sum of fuck all to the site - he's a bare faced liar, and its even better because all of this regarding his replacement was spoke about in the mod section a good week or two ago, with the *same* PMs being offered as proof by @VRG - and as much respect for VRG that I do have, I don't think he's got godlike powers and can edit PMs and plant false evidence weeks before Nervous throws a shit fit out of the blue Bit of egg on your face there @Nervous

A fresh reproduction of ot1 haze for the subbie if all goes well. Grown by a friend these plants are from the very first breeding i did with ot1 haze. pictured Outdoors up north.

04/11/2020 - Day 50 Of Flower What up fellow farmers? Another week has passed by already - don't time fly when your having fun eh?! So been a lovely week so far with winning photo of the month last month.... Many thanks again to the crewdem @diyleduk , @Diyleduk Craig & @tokenroll! This last week has been keeping up with the diligence of pest control mostly to be honest. The plants are growing themselves with proper watering. I have noticed the 50,000 Amblyseius Andersoni have been super effective at stopping visible leaf damage from spider mites, however.. I could still see some of the little fuckers retreating to corners of the tent, hiding under fans and in the led heatsinks etc... Well I wasn't having any of that! So I have decided to add 2000 Phytoseiulus Persimilis into the tent to aid the Andersoni. The combination of both these spider mite predators will mean, and I am talking (@FarmerPalmersNT & @blackpoolbouncer may agree) in highly biological scientific terms here: "Proper Fucked". Anyway, I can't see any spider mites now be it damage or on fans and underside.... Good luck to them in week 8 now acting sharply. Now on to the usual diary info bits: Lights on temp: 27.9c Lights on humidity: 51% Lights off temp: 12c Lights off humidity: 60% Wattage: 620w hung around 14 inches away I have really made an effort to take photos in manuel mode this update. I have been using Aperture Priority Mode prior. I would like to thank my new native Mr @Budelaire for spending some time explaining clever photography things to me like exposure triangles, hyperfocal distance and general information about DSLR's I had no clue about to push me to try taking pics in manuel mode and manuel focus. As such, I am particularly happy with these photos as they are shot in manuel mode and not pure blurry darkness like if I had tried prior (If they are indeed wank, feel free to comment as I am all for constructive criticism to improve!): Here are some of the flower shots, the purples are coming out beautifully now which is awesome to see: Take care everyone, catch you for the week 8 update early next week

Hi all! Recently I got my hands on the Magical Butter Machine with the Decarbox and the Filter, today I had some time to get acquainted and make some infused coconut oil. Got a big block of Coconut Oil (refined) from the bay of e and melted some down until I had 1 litre I had 80 grams of some Amnesia that wasn't getting vaped and I topped that off with 20 grams of popcorn and trim There were a few guides around so I settled on 100 grams to 1000ml and went for 2 hours in the machine after decarbing the material, I had to do it in 2 lots so it took an hour (30 mins at 120C in the Decarbox) after that I put the decarbed weed in the machine and poured the melted coconut oil on top, at this point I should have smushed everything down (and added lecithin powder mr. eager bollocks here was keen to crack on as he was also in the middle of a camshaft replacement) and made sure it was mixed somewhat as I just put the lid on and let it do it's thing, when I came back 2 hours later there was bud still above the blender so I smushed that down and gave it another hour. Success After straining through the filter into a large bowl I filled 3 jars easily with a ladle Looking forward to doing some baking, the missus will readily help me and she loves doing stuff together so I can score some points there, I will carry on the thread as we cook with cannabis and continue using the Magical Butter Machine

I have a few subbies strains running at the moment, I have 3 Oldtimers Lot# Evolution in veg, they are 7 weeks old now and are showing no signs of any preflowers, they look a bit ropey as they have long out grown those 1 litre pots Lot#5 Evolutions I also have one each of the Wonder Kush crosses that I did, I am not going to lie these have been a bit of a challenge, both plants ended up with calmag issues, looked like when I used to over feed and the plants would lock out. I have only fed them average amounts so anyone who is growing these out be careful with feeding. That said both plants reek like the mums I used in the crosses. I have photos of the Pineapple Skunk x Wonder Kush, I will get some of the Fruitbowl cross tomorrow. Pineapple Skunk x Wonder Kush

By the end of the season mate I am noseblind, I can't smell weed, plus my nose has been repeatedly broken so it's pretty much fucked sadly I am thinking of having rhinoplasty but that won't fix my sense of smell

Got a bargain on the Maxibrights. £300 including shipping. We've decided not to continue stocking maxibright daylight leds due to the higher RRP we have to sell them for compared to the attis. They are just sitting on the shelf so im clearing them. https://diyleduk.com/collections/maxibright-led-grow-lights/products/maxibright-daylight-300w-led-grow-light We haven't had one come back yet but warranties are always kept even if we no longer stock the item you bought. Enjoy

Welcome Amigos! As a sort of tradition by now, I'll start by thanking Sweet Seeds and their entire team for hosting another edition of the greatest comp in the weed net! You guys rock, especially in those "challenging" times! Now let's get to business... I received a few new strains and still had a few more in my stash box, just waiting for the comp to start. There will be two batches: one batch containing fast flowering strains (8 week flowering) and the other with regular speed strains (9 week flowering). I'll be growing 2 seeds of each strain. FV Batch (8 weeks) Gorilla Girl FV - I've grown the normal Gorilla Girl version a few times and enjoyed every time. Some strong and tasty smoke and wonder how the FV will compare. Crystal Candy FV - Same story the Gorilla Girl, done the normal version before... Green Poison - This is the first strain I ever grew during the first comp back in 2009. I remember it being a good smoke - looking forward to travel back in time. Sweet Cheese FV - One of my favorites from the catalogue. Never seems to disapoint. Normal Batch (9 weeks) Sweet Zenzation "Zkittlez" - First time growing this strain. I've just noticed the name change... are the original packs more valuable now? Red Hot Cookies - Hoping for some colourful phenos, but my first with her as well Psicodelicia - I think i've mentioned this strain a few times, but keeps returning to my grow room and for good reasons - I just love that strain! Black Jack - Actually, I wanted to get the CBD version for my gf... sadly, i did a mistake while ordering.... well, the normal Black Jack is still good in my books. Sorry Nutrients and Additives Biobizz All Mix Compost Grow - in use only during flowering Bloom - in use only after the 2nd week of flowering Fishmix - mixed into every other feed during flowering Topmax - mixed into every other feed during flowering Root Juice - mixed into every other feed during vegetation CaMg Boost - Mixed into every other feed during flowering from the 3rd week until end of 5th OG Granules - Only used during pot ups The way I germinate the seeds Always under the watchful eyes of my trusted accomplice. I place some Biobizz All Mix compost into a seedling tray. The compost is evenly spread and slightly compacted, not too much though. Water is sprinkled on the top of the tray and then small holes are made about 5mm deep. Seeds are then selected and placed into holes with the pointy side up! The holes are closed with a pinch of compost. Never forget to label! Tray with the lid is then placed onto a heated pad in the system. I actually left the light off during the first 24hrs. I also leave the vent holes closed until first seedlings appear of the ground in a few days hopefully. I plan to keep both batches in this system during vegetation and then seperate them when entering flowering. Possibly flowering the FV batch sooner then the "regular" batch. I might also only pot up the FV only twice while i will pot up the other batch 3 times. They will certainly be topped and cuts will also be taken... System used for vegetation Bonanza Box (110x78x160) CXM 320W LED light, courtesy of diyled - dimmed all the way down atm 125mm TD Silent with PK Carbon filter - passiv extraction The FV batch will remain in this system until the end of flowering, while the normal batch will move into another system. System used for flowering of the "normal" batch Darkbox 120 (120x120x200) 400-660w hps lumatek - mostly dual spectrum light bulb 125mm TD Silent with PK Carbon filter - passiv extraction All the seeds have been placed into the system just about 2 days ago and hope the first seedlings are going to appear soon. In the meanwhile, I wish all the contestants some good luck and for all to stay safe out there... AT

Update to 25th November 2020 Sorry I didn't get any photos up last night, been real busy trying to get the last few bits 'n bobs completed so that we can get set for take off. First up is some photos of how things looked in the Homebox on the 15th of November. These next photos are from 4 days later I've started giving @Intense Nutrients Dirt Grow alternated with seaweed extract when watering to the Dinafem girls. The Gorilla Cream has been getting fed with 2ml/l BB fishmix. Next up are some photos of the vegging plants in the DR150w and nursery/veg cupboard And finally the reason behind the late updates, work in Bloom-room #1 is almost completed and should be ready to be inhabited very soon. It's trickier to get sand flat and level than you might think. Heater cable Thermostat cable So that's the floor done(it's not perfect but it's good enough for me. Inside an 8" CarboAir 60 Inside panel of AC Infinity Cloudline fan The black combo ducting will be removed as this is the old extractor ducting and will be replaced with 6" Phonic Trap ducting from the input fan. Drumroll please First piece taken into the groom for assembly Oops wrong way round, try again Which of the following ratchet ropes would you use? I went with the heavy duty ones My light hanging rail runs 90 degrees to how this light was meant to hang, so each end has 2 hangers to keep the fixture level. Just 25% to be able to take a photo of it Not much left to get done(for now) except to sort out the ducting for the incoming air and get the controller speaking to the AC Infinity fans, also finish wiring the underfloor heating and thermostat(and test), then duct tape up all of the holes where cables run into/out of the groom and cover the both ends of the ducting which connects the groom to the drobe with some cooker hood material to ensure light can't pollute the bloom-room from the nursery. Thanks for looking, until next time.

Totally forgot about this thread Made some bubble about this time last month all mixed trim (ugorg#1, honeybadger, lots of skittles, loktite f2, tree spirit, frozen Margy and bag seed) used around a third of a carrier bag. I went with the lazy man's technique of using a washing machine , still impressed with how it came out considering it's was my first run in years and the plant material was all dry but it was kept in the freezer. I used a 5 bag set 220,160,120,73 and 25. Only product from the 120,73 and 25 were kept. I ran it three times, first 2 runs were a good return for how little trim I used. Run 3 yielded next to nothing. The machine was only ran for 15 mins each cycle. 120u bag. This was the only one to be fully sieved, ran out patience with bits of hash flying around. Smelled of pineapples. 73u You could really smell the honeybadger in this bag. This was my favorite bag. Partially sieved. 25u bag. Probably my least favorite bag didn't really taste or smell of anything but hash but still had same effect. Also ordered a hash crucible for my storm sapphire vape and all I can say is wow. It's pretty shit for flower but then I prefer smoking flower in pure joints. But as far as hash consumption goes I've definitely found my new favorite way, really tasteful and hit like a train. Looks like the hash pipe is going into retirement. All was dried on cardboard for 3 days then jarred. Alas it's all gone now

Little 3 ft nothing discobiscuits plant chopped last night, if there's an ounce on it I'll be delighted very compact (small) buds but better than nothing at all. Not a speck of mould to be seen, surprisingly, considering it's been pissing down for the last month. Will be sitting watch with a shotgun while she dries

a few november pics

MOrning all, How are you all today? rough as a badgers or shining like a new pin? Anyway, with my usual bouts of stupidity , carelessness, neglect and just poor germination technique, ive ended up with 3 survivors. Luckily its one of each strain, here they are today it goes cream 47, sweet afghan and jack 47.. Its my own fault, i keep changing my germination technique around, i should really just stick with what works, but no, no, that would be too easy...... This time i tried coco/hydroton mix, at 0.4ec ph 5.8, in the little prop tray. Maybe i left them under it too long, maybe too hot, maybe im a doof, i dunno. ive got to say the cream 47 doesnt look all that great. i did think about germing /killing some more, but have decided that this was the deck ive been dealt so i'll just get on with it. if only one siurvives to bloom im gonna go massive with it, i hope the jack 47 does well, it looks healthiest of the bunch. APologies to Sweet for my germing failures, its no reflection on the genetics, more i reflection on my inability to keep seeds alive. Anyway ive passed the horrible germination stage so it should be plain sailing from here on eh?

Random picture for a random thread,,not much in size but the frostiness was nice, Early Maroc -philosopher seeds

Blues x OGKZ from @zabz day 66 Purple really starting to come through now.

A week before the chop ........

Royal Wedding at Day 50. Living soil, Atreum & Highlight combo at 600W - First real bash using Manual mode on my DSLR too, stoked
