smoking and usage

I am new to growing so am going with Purple Power(feminised seeds) in a greenhouse (Only options as I live in Ireland)

My plants are about 6 weeks on the go now, the four of them can be viewed below..

Am still not sure if they are female or male, any help with this from experienced growers with a keen eye would be greatly appreciated.

They look pretty healthy to me, am hoping to harvest early to mid august.

Any feedback on my plants would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Blindinglight

well you will be able to tell male from female when they start to flower. males will show two little balls coming from the stalk and the branches, females will show little white hairs. i suggest you cut the males right away so you dont pollenate the females. dont harvest until the white hairs on the bud turn to a orange redish colour, or probably purple in your case becasue of the strain.

Looks like you need to get some air moving around that greenhouse... Is it all closed off?

So I see. Pretty they are.

This is what really drew me into your thread.

Do you have some cunning plan to make this happen, or are you just hoping?

Hi BlindingLight, I'm in exactly the same boat as you, in the east of the country and judging from youir picture the exact same greenhouse as you.

They're very good for sun but not so good for air circulation.

I'm about 7 weeks into starting Purple Widow and am a complete novice so any tips welcome.

Best of luck and keep us posted...

nice to see some more outdoor irish growers.. the plants seem to be coming on very slow.. i have 3 kc33xmaster kush that are about 4 weeks old outdoors and their around the same height as any of yours.. are you feeding them yet? all the same, some nice plants

ekm5015 · #8 (**permalink**) 05-29-2007, 02:10 AM

are u sure thats puple power?? from experience puple power leaves are much more sativa looking than that (long and skinny fingers),but none the less they still look good. good luck with the grow.

Thanks folks, they look good but need to get more air around them but worried they might not be able to handle the wind in Ireland!

They're not purple power but purple widow, a mix of indica and sativa i think.

I feed them with nutrients every second feed, water for the other feed about once every 5-6 days.

I think the biggest one is showing the male 'balls', would it happen after about 7 weeks even in Irish weather??

best of luck to all the Irish outdoor growers, the odds seem to be against us slightly with the weather here....

yeah if their that old they should show signs of sex by now i think, my 3 oldest plants are showing early signs of being female and are outdoor.. all the plants i planted this year are holding up pretty well against the bad winds here

broc · #11 (**permalink**) 05-29-2007, 11:49 PM

Thanks kc33, think I definitely have two males at least outta my ten at this stage. I'm actually hoping I'm not too successful with the number of females as I don't think I could mange more than four!!

keep us posted on your progress and any tips are greatly appreciated...

Thanks for the Posts everyone, good to know there is other weed growers across Ireland...

I agree that it is tricky to get Air flow around the greenhouse, i am trying to leave the door open for an hour or so each day, although with the wind sometimes this is tricky!!

I have been watering my Plants every second day, and am gonna start using Miracle Grow once a week on them, can anyone advise if this is a good idea?

Was also wondering (as i am a complete noob at this) if i would be correct in thinking that if i just let the plants grow themselves, when the dark nights come in around September time, the plants will bud themselves??

All advise greatly appreciated!!!

kc33 · #13 (**permalink**) 05-30-2007, 03:12 PM

your better off getting some stuff actually designed for cannabis, like iguana juice, never failed me.. all miracle grow does is tell the plants roots to absorb as much water as possible, this will help your plant grow in short term but if you want long term sucess get some propper food (iguana juice is only €25 in hydrophonics shop in dublin) for potent healthy big buds

Guys

Below is some update pictures on my grow.

I personnally think that i have 4 females?? Advise on this greatly appreciated.

Any other comments greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi BlindingLight, yeahI can't see any of the 'balls' there, so it's looking good so far. I've isolated two that I'm 99% sure are males, they have the balls, I'll take some photos to show you them.

It's uncanny that we are using exactly the same Versatile Greenhose set-up...I'm leaving the door fully open these days for air, unless it's particularly windy. I also have stones/rocks around the edges to keep it down in bad weather.

I'll post hose pics soon and good luck.
