UK Outdoor Grow Journal

[jamesm6]

This is my first UK Grow Journal consisting of 9 Lemon Venom, 1 Mong U Mental, 1 Ice Breaker, 1 Critical Kush and 1 Cookie Kush.
I decided to do this because you don`t see many UK guerrilla grow journals on the web and wanted to share mine with you until the October harvest.
Thy were just planted in the ground at 5 weeks old, all of them have been topped bar 2 because of the suns direction.
This is what I have done leading up to now.
The paper towel germination method was used and had a 100% success rate.
They were placed in a heated propagator using Terra Professional soil and under a 250w red CFL worked great, I used this because it was just lying around and the 125 blue CFL was not strong enough.
After just 1 week I placed them all under a 600w HPS and they loved it.
I did not use any nutrients up until week 3/4 from which I used Big Bud and CX Growth Enhancer using just half the suggested dose.
I will be posting updates once a month and depending on the changes the plants undergo it may be more.
Week 5:

Here they all are, need to buy some insecticide though some little critters keep chomping on my leaves but its all good. Lemon 6 is a bit of a runt compared to all of them, this is because I did not top this or bend the lower branches and the main stem out to the side, a form of LST I guess you can call it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What do you use to keep pests from eating ur leaves any advice

 

[ManyManySpliffs]

Use a home brew with various hot peppers slow boiled and then cooled. Spray on plants. Use chilli, jalapeno, ghost, habanero, garlic, etc..

 

[steasy88]

Thanks for the advice going to get the ingredients now gonna kill those little fuckers lol

 

[ManyManySpliffs]

That natural homebrew won't kill them, but it'll run them away real good. lol You'll have to re-spray every few days and especially after it rains.

 

[steasy88]

Thanks alot that's keeping them away from eating all my leaves

In the past week they've stretched like crazy because there hasn't been much sun, but roll on the next few days of glorious sunshine.
