Eyup! Hello from across the pond.

I'm bout 7-8 week into my 1st grow.
Like most folk I just threw a few bag seed in & 1 fem Nthn Lgts (purchased on line)
They all germinated no problem.
5 healthy plants
Managed to ID a 'chap' so bout 2 WK into flower I commited execution 😢
However , 3 female sativa & 1 Nthn Lgts 😊

My little harem is stretching away like Big Bird.


I was fortunate to be in a position where the only costs I've incurred :

energy, obvs. Not sure yet as still ongoing.
Compost £5.00
Ossilating fan £4.00 (car boot/garage sale)
Nutrients I already had ( not specialised canna products, just household feeds)
Lights. Given to me by a lighting engineer I know. Top quality.
400 W HID with Phillips Lamp (sodium)
Seed £5.00

My plants are stunning & seriously... I cannot understand how or why it is made to be sooo! over complicated by 'experienced growers'

(Watch my girls collapse & die now I've said that)


I will qualify my comment by saying I am a landscape gardener 30 odd years and find very similar characteristics to some shrubs & trees.e.g. the buds grow just like buddleia (butterfly bush) & is as invasive.
Also the techniques employed training cannabis plants reminds me of 'Hedgelaying' with ancient hawthorn hedgerows in order to manage growth & keep trim.
(Chop out all bushy growth then cut the main trunk almost through but not quite, the hedge is ' layed' down & staked, then woven between stakes .)
Same , nearly , as main linning or LST ( incidently employed this method in addition to topping, fimming ,super cropping, defoliation & I even pushed a pencil through the trunk of one to encourage a skism. Which worked but turned out to be a geezer ) also did selective trim when accidentally dropped heavy fan on top of one ........whilst it was spinning away......😨

I wonder if any geneticists out there are developing climbing strains in order to espelier the colas against a hot wall ?
