Welcome. Your in great hands with bateo and dan. I too grow under a few 600 watt hps lights.

As for your question some genes just grow quicker than others. Maybe post up some pics in the faq's thread.

greetings from the north , i grew dutch passion #1 in the north , they did will , wet days i put them in green house , you can buy poly tunnels very cheap now they would do on the bad days

why not try some autos , at least they be done in time , thats my plan along with a couple of 12/12 grows

 

[downey]

cheers guys hoping to get better at this computer stuff hope this photo come out ok ,,here goes !
critical kush 5 weeks into flower

 

[NuttyProfessor]

looks good man , we get shit weather here in ireland lol.. rain rain and more rain , get a poly tunnel for the wet days , was that an auto ??

 

[downey]

no mate not an auto ,never tried the autos, gonna get a polly tunnel but im wondering am i alright using and keepin them in pots for the whole life cycle , bigger the better ya ?
when you reckon i should start them and when should i have them outdoors ?
was thinking of starting them inside under flourecents try to keep the costs down " as this current grow is already dragging on a bit " would that be ok
oh and what strain would you reccomend
lots of questions i know but im glad to be talkin to a fellow paddy that knows how crazy our weather can be
cheers

mate id start them end of march , they harvest from seed from 60/90 days , im growing 3 strains at the mo , blue amnesia xxl , bubba cheese and lemon haze , have to say the lemon haze is my fav , the blue amnesia didnt like to be topped , threw out nanners , the bubba cheese is still early days

ill add some pictures of the lemon haze from emerald triangle seeds ( bought from herbies )

check my jorunal below , ( paddy goes auto for the winter )


this is about day 50/52 not 100 percent but defo in early 50s from they sprouted

 

[NuttyProfessor]

ill be using cfl also 2 blue 2 red 300 w , think about 8p an hour to run , i have my blues ready , just waiting to get reds down the line

like these i put one on with my 600w hps just to give dual spectrum

 

[downey]

what are nanners ??? hps would give u much denser buds than cfl though huh ,,im trying to get big yeilders so i can keep the plant count down ,,so any anwers to the above questions lol nice plants btw

 

[downey]

really enjoyed lookin through that "paddy goes outo flower for the winter"
whats the yeild like from them though ????

 

[NuttyProfessor]

nanners are when a plant gets stress and pollinates its self, grows a little banana shape pollen sack , some strains do it lots, near the end of flower you have to keep checking them , , theres a girl on here sweet sue , she grew with cfl did ok well more than ok , had some nice buds , made a real good soil though , thats the ticket , i will grab the link for you mate

 

[NuttyProfessor]
