I'm hoping they are done by Friday because I'll have the house free for a week so I can leave the pots inside the window to provide a nice gentle environment to get them started in. The first little leaves should be up after that week then it's off to the great outdoors.

I have four remaining seeds from the current packets too I'm going to do the water soaking method on tommorow. Just let them soak in a cup of water for 24 hours and it does the business apparently.

Yep, you're friend is bang on. The cling film isin't entirely necessary but is worthwhile if it's in heavy sunlight because moving from a dark germination area into direct sun rays could cook the plants and shock the poor buggers to death.

I can't wait until it's done. I'll be both rich and I'll never have to pay for smoke again.

Yeah it would be pretty good, how long does it take from seed > maturity? I'm thinking about if it's worth my trying on a very small personal scale or if I'll be moving around to much over the next 6 months making it more hassle than it's worth.

Another friend of mine who lives down stairs studies some kind of chemistry and they make all of there own sorts of acids. I've never really done any chemically ones so don't know much about it, but I've been in their bathroom and it's all stained where something went wrong :joker: They made like a grands worth last summer, but didn't sell any of it, must have been a crazy few weeks.

You'd be talking about 8 weeks indoors, maybe 10-11 outdoors from germination to harvest. This is autoflowers, mind you. Autoflowering varieties are the best to go for. You'll only get about an ounce off each plant because they only grow a foot high but they are very easy to do in our climate and nobody will spot them provided you're not leaving them on open roads or something like that. Although I have known of people who have managed to do everything from White Widow to Northern Lights and Church and stuff outdoors. They just take a full summer to harvest because they run on natural timespans. Autoflowers basically force themselves to bud within two months.

I'm torn between thinking it's easy and thinking it's hard. People who say the first three days are the hardest are full of ****. It's grand actually quitting them because you have momentum. It's a month later and you think of them and feel like popping over to the shop with a fiver in your hand is where I can see how it's hard.

I'm dying for one now :bawling:.

I'm really on for trying growing it, my house rent begins in a month and we have a big garden, but I guess I would have had to sow it by now to plant it out then? Also does it need rich soil and stuff outside?

Yeah I know what you mean Stu, especially a month in or something when you are a bus stop or something and someone offers... and just the smell of it, it's so easy to give in.

Normally I'm B&H if I'm buying as I can never be faffed to roll when I'm in a rush somewhere.
