Paddy Goes Auto for the Winter

[MedFarmer]

At least you got some sighting lol if even you do have dots now.

I've been away for a bit (work stuff) but just caught up.

Thank you so much for sharing your growing experience.

I'm on my 4th grow (well, technically 3rd and 4th) and I have learned a lot here and elsewhere. Even my very first grow (I'm 100% hydro - DWC/Top Feed) was moderately successful. 2nd one, same thing, but during these grows I used information and/or techniques that I found here in great threads (Grow Journals) like this one.

OK, gotta go update my own journals now. Cheers paddy,

will pop over and get a nosey 3js

[NuttyProfessor]

cool , thanks peter , and thanks farmer also for the PM

 

[SweetSue]

Well done paddy. Well done.

I never worry about weight loss as they dry. The potency and flavors improve, so I figure it all balances out. Love the greenhouse too paddy.

Will you be doing another journal? I personally can't imagine growing without friends watching over my shoulder and offering support and advice.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

hi Sue yes i am getting an out side grow ready , i got 2 single wardrobes put them on their backs and filled them with some super soil , planing on 8 plants 4 in each
been busy last few days doing the needful lol

hope your well and every one else

I recommend that when it has rained late summer that you go and see your girls shortly afterwards but as safely as you can and give the plants a good shake to remove as much water as possible. You will get wet doing it but I'm sure you would rather that than have mould. Hopefully we have a scorching summer without much rain but we know that's wishful thinking mate.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i was thinking if its raining to put little sandwich bags over the buds lol clear ones

 

[NuttyProfessor]

was an idea but lol... its cool there is a high wall behind the location so i might be able to put up a shelter

 

[MedFarmer]

i was thinking if its raining to put little sandwich bags over the buds lol clear ones

NO. The bags will hold moisture and prevent evaporation of any moisture. You need the wind blowing through the plant including the bud to help clear the moisture.

 

[NuttyProfessor]

lol yeahh i thought that after a while , remember putting a bag over my metal detector and the condensation built up , i had to put the box in the airing cupboard to dry it

i can do a shelter

Can do what i can to help , lucky i have Medfarmer to support me also

 

[NuttyProfessor]

ok guys heres my guerilla style grow . 4 sprouts and waiting on four , 4 skunk haze and 4 Afghani all regulars so heres hoping females this time lol ( I know there's no pleasing me )
the nettles grow very high in this location, looks bare now but wont be ,

 

[SweetSue]

Nice paddy. Sunshine is the best lighting you can offer. I'm so glad you get to dabble. Remember - Safety first.

Those nettles - how high do they grow?

 

[NuttyProfessor]

over waist high they make nice tea also for the girls lol ohh its safe as houses

 

[SweetSue]

You can't get much better than a tea from nettles. I need to find a source after spring gets under way. They used to grow wild in my old garden and everyone thought of them as worthless weeds. LOL!

 

[NuttyProfessor]

ohh they are brill , best getting them young at that , good for veg , i can get my hands on good comfrey also ,oh and seaweed is only stone throw away .
hope your well Sue
