[stj2006]

Ch@appers m8 that balck haze looks to die for, super nice. Do you have any going this season would love to see some pics of that when it begins flowering, well thats if it was grown outdoors.
lovely

wow chaappers ...those webbed indica autos is like if someone came and offered me a hybrid of salma hayek and jessica alba...more specifically - exactly the thing I've been looking for my whole life

I could literally hide hundreds of those like 100metres from my house

please continue this project and never let the seedline go, ever, ever!

greetings from Norway. Big up to what all of you UK growers are doing, you have really burst the scene in the last few years...always appreciate to see growers from the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Finland which never have been considered fertile grounds for outdoor cannabis (well maybe except Denmark that got some 50 year + IBL's going) having really burst into the scene in full force the last 3-4 years, we are now about the most active ones in the outdoor grow section, who would have figured 10 years ago with our shitty conditions huh?

well, anyways..keep up what you are doing...and never loose that nettle-ninja auto of yours, hear me!

ps: Ever thought about Wallys Ducksfoot? an Auto Ducksfoot crossed to an Auto Webbed Indica could make for a super stealthy sat\ind hybrid...just a thought

harold , it looks like your using chain link fencing & yes a little darling bunny will be able to hop in & out whenever it feels like it . Rabbits are like mice , if the head goes through so can the body , rabbit proof fencing on tree plantations estates etc is always buried 18ins deep to prevent the b*****ds digging under & its never more than 1 -1/2in mesh . Twice b4 i mentioned a link to Primrose animal repellants , you can buy some stuff that will scat them , if you can`t be arsed to do that then think about some good chicken wire cages wrapped around your plants & peg um down with something .

thanks, damn i hauled in that fence for nothing then. its the chain link fence like you mentioned.... i will look into the repellants now, before they munch them all. A harsh lesson learned.

 

[harold]

they like to dig underneath the fencing to get in. from what ive experienced, its the little rabbits doing it, so the gaps only need to be 2-3inches. what about doing an L shape of fencing around your existing fencing?

thanks smokey, i think they are getting through the holes not underneath, it must be the baby rabbits........... i hope they got really stoned and then eaten by a fox!

And I've left my most exciting post for last...

This is the culmination of 5 years of work. I've heard it said that it couldn't be done or that it was simply too difficult...

Well it was difficult but as you can see, it is possible and as far as I'm aware, these are the only ones of their kind in the world...

It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you all...

The Autoflowering Hawaiian Webbed Indica!

I actually had my first Auto Webbed Indica in May of 2009 but this is the first generation that I can honestly say is 100% auto and 100% webbed.

Ch@ppers

Must have seeds.
I've got a hostage
My hostage is an old bag seed plant.
If I am not given instructions on how to get seeds I will cut the old bag seeds top off.
Dont involve the police or the bag seed plant gets it.

Who is gonna wind up selling this strain? I would love to plant 30 of them in my shop

How long are they taking to finish? 9 weeks?

What is the "nettle" yall have been talking about.

Currently have Onyx and Auto Assassin in seed starter.

 

[minime]

sorry to hear that harold nice pics all---i have not been to any of my plots yet dreading it realy its just so hot and no rain---o well
have a good week end all stay safe

TPS! Hey brother!

I haven't seen your plants yet but I'm sure they look great like always...what you growing?

Scrogerman, it's a little long winded but here's what I've found...

Over the years I've grown literally thousands of autos from the original Lowryder to Auto AK47 to stuff that I've developed which nobody has even seen yet and I've experimented with all light schedules and here's what I've found.

1: Contrary to the hype, Autos DO like a darkness period. Autos are the same as any other marijuana plant in that they do most of their cell building (growing) during the darkness period. That was an easy experiment to do and it was instantly conclusive.

2: The longer an auto takes to bud (the longer the veg period) then the more it yields but the longer it takes to finish from seed. An auto started on 12/12 can finish in 50 days or less from seed but yields are much less than one grown on 18/6 or whatever.

3: Autos are not worth growing indoors as a single crop. As I mentioned, the yield on 12/12 is poor so to grow them indoors effectively you need to have a longer light period. this means more electricity (especially if growing on 24/0 or 20/4) Indoors you may as well grow a standard strain from 12/12 because they will yield as much, if not more than autos would on a 20/4 schedule in the same time. Growing autos indoors is a waste of money and electricity.

4: I used 16/8 to mimic midsummer in the UK and it works brilliantly. There was no difference in yield compared to 18/6 or 20/4 and they finished in roughly the same time.

If you MUST grow autos indoors (seedrun during the off-season) then 16/8 is the way to go. If you are not doing a seedrun then autos are not worth growing indoors, watt for watt, £ for £ and gram for gram, standard 12/12 strains are far more economical.

The only time I'd ever suggest growing autos indoors when not doing a seedrun would simply be to fill in spaces in your growroom (that should be filled with 12/12 strains)

As I mentioned in point #2, the longer an auto stays in veg, the larger the ultimate yield will be...from what you said, I expect your friends ultimate yield to be larger than yours due to the simple fact that his has not yet started to properly bud whereas yours has.

Of course, other factors affect the total yield like pot size, availability of water and nutrients, quality of light etc. If he uses small pots and you use big ones, your yield will be higher, you get what I'm saying?

Ch@ppers

What I was trying to say but don't think I did so particularily well is that the quicker an auto grows/finishes the less it yields.

The biggest yielding plants I've grown (Auto Giant MTF, Auto Giant G13/Haze, Auto Haze) have all gone way past the 60 day point that people associate with autos.

People are far too quick to dismiss autos if they take longer than 60 days but they fail to comprehend that autos are not useful only because of the time they take from seed to harvest but the fact that they begin to flower long before any standard plant does.

60 days is great and if you're fortunate you'll yield up to an oz. But I've had certain autos go past 90 days and have yielded upwards of 3oz per plant...all harvested way before normal plants have even started to flower. I think an extra 50% (time-wise) is worth a 300% increase in yield!

Ch@ppers

indeed

Teaxas Monster, these are 'Nettles', otherwise known as 'Stinging Nettles' cause they sting you, and they often grow en mass in big patches but grow pretty mutch everywhere in the UK. The first pic is a young plant, but they can grow upto six foot tall sometimes.

Harold ... flippin bad news, it's aweful losing plants. One year i had two spots and was growing early queen, nigerian nightmare, shaman, purple widow, and some gifted seeds too. In one plot strangely a wildlife charity turned up and somehow chose my very spot to 'protect' as a lizard reserve! I found a little sighn they'd left and they had used a herbicide on my plants!! But get this ... i was actually donating money to that very charity at the time! And the other spot was a meadow of sorts and a tractor mowed down the lot. Of about 100 plants in all only 3 remained. Gutted. You just have to let it go and go and buy some bud!

These are real little bastard's for the uk guerrilla grower ..a real bad rash that sting's like a burn ... if you fall in them or worse grab one with your hand.. lord help you
And the antidote is a docan leaf which help's for 5 mins lol

You might end up losing your Autoflowering Hawaiian Webbed Indica's in all the nettle's lol

Thats funny right there. You can just tell from the tone of your "voice" that yall fear them. They must suck.

So, that auto the other guy had looks like them huh? So you could go stealth in a patch of "Nettles" and nobody would know or care cause they dont like nettles. Brilliant.

 

[rocket high]

hi tex
well we won't have to hide it anymore all you would need to do is find you nearest nettle patch and grow away well apart from getting stung with nettle's that is lol

 

[liquidlight]

Some wierdos flaggelate themselves with bundles of nettles, they think it's good for them or something. I think they're pervs.

And a friend of mine makes banana smoothies with nettles in! She's probably one too.

 

[harold]

its good for arthritis, the roots make a tonic good for the prostate.

thought that was some thing kinky till i looked it up,

btw when does female seeds gear like easy sativa, grape fruit and purple maroc finish in uk?

 

[smokeymacpot]

i like that auto webbed indica, wouldnt mind some of it myself
my leb27 turned into monsters, just over one month of veg and they've easily grown 3-4ft lool. tasgg3xdp are turning into monsters as well, they also stink like crazy, i have never met a strain as stinky as this... when they flower they will stink even more. 2-3weeks till they all start flowering, cant wait no camera flash, so no pics sorry

 

[smokeymacpot]

oh, and i found some red ants on some of the tasgg3xdp, not sure what they were doing, couldnt see aphids :S sprayed everything with pesticide and they soon ran away.
what do red ants eat ??

 

[liquidlight]

Tonto ... http://www.femaleseeds.nl/Engels/index.htm

I've been thinking about ordering some stuff from femaleseeds.nl ... very early and very good value for feminised. Outdoor Grapefruit sounds good.

Smokey ... nice to see some triple afghan slam genetics floating about ... i just spent the last 5 minutes trying to remember what TAS was lol.

 

[Bush Dr]

My personal experience of 'femaleseeds.nl' is that they are the only people to completely screw up NL#5 to the point where you get a different 'pheno' for every seed

I can recommend Big Buddha for their consistency, the 'Cheese' is a nice plant and finishes quickly indoors

I'm trying some of the Flash Seeds 'The One' and some BB 'Cheese', I put the 10" plants of each out a few feet apart at the end of May

According to the Flash seeds blurb it takes about 100 days, so 1st September I'll see if it's worked ..... solve a lot of problems if it did, do a bit of work of the winter and cross it with Mantanuska TF for a UK winner

 

[tricky]

whats a realy good auto for scotland ?
