Here’s some pics of Chronic on day of harvest. Grown under a 400 watt bulb in an auto pot. It’s amazing what you can do on a budget. Keep up your cool paper, it’s a brilliant read with loads of usefull info!

I truly appreciate your magazine and what you guys offer, very informative. Sorry I couldn’t get a naked chick, but Im working on it for my outdoor crop. Anyway, here is my Grapefruit grow, done solely with compact floro’s (for my small space floros were the way to go), but I’ll be moving and getting some HPS lights soon, hope you enjoy the pics - I know I enjoy the smoke.

Check out these little Beauties! White Widow X Big Bud (Female Seeds X Line) from “Charlies Thai Silks” . Germinated them in rockwool under fluorescent light with a pH of 5.8. Planted 10 seeds & got 10 virgins two days later, vegged for 4 weeks x 24hrs at pH of 6.2 using a 4 tube Bright Wing Cool White. They were then transplanted into 15 ltr pots of Canna Coco & using Canna Aqua Flores & B’cuzz Coco Bloom. I only ever use Vinegar to pH down & now that they are 6 weeks into flowering, I also add 10ml of Oxy-Plus with every feed, as this really does improve the size & weight of the final yield. Growing space is a 1m x 1.50m x 2.0m with 600 watt HPS + 250 watt Mh both used with one Adjust-A-Shade. Using both spectrums of light stops the plant from stretching & keeps the internodes short and tight, Basically MORE BUDS ! Ps What do you think of my Bird’s Buds? Not bad for a more Mature Mother Plant!

Just thought I would share some pics of what makes me happiest in this world. But the missus insisted on gettin in on the action. Tried to run before I could walk with these though, by trying hydro. Had a few overfeeding problems but managed to get some ok bud. I am going to go back to soil for the next grow.

I’ve just harvested my Big Buddah Cheese which I grew from cutting in compost using Formulex and Dr Hornby’s Big Bud during flowering. Everything went well during the grow but I could only flower 1 plant off due to lack of space. Your paper is the bollox and I’ve learnt loads from you and fellow growers. Just gotta big up my mate Matt T who helped me a lot and sorted me the cutting. Respect and Peace to all!

Thanx for a great paper guyz.... Hope you find a spot for my favourite, Artic Sun (fd) x Jock Horror (n), breeder Baklobi. Bloomed under 600w in coir with Canna nutes range, picture at day 53. Kind regards.

I just wanted to send a photo for your magazine…and hoping to get a pack of seeds for my efforts. I have severe pain issues and appetite problems, so if you happen to have a strain that is potent for use as medical herb, that would certainly be appreciated.

Hmmm… I ummmed n ahhhhed.. over sending these.. as I have top idea for another photo shoot.. involving body paints.. black lite.. n spots to illuminate me buds. But well, they is chopped down now.. Maybe next time?? They (the pics) are a bit middle of the road (as is the bod, some might say), but I was well pleased with me buds – off some Blueberry seeds you sent me a good while back now, in the good ole days of 3 packs of seeds for pics – now the challenge is to get Ed’s pic o’the month! I may accept the gauntlet. Cheers for the excellent read.. top mag!

These are my Sensi Star girls, just harvested on day 60. They were grown in an aqua farm, using House and Garden nutrients and under a 600w HPS. Great smell, excellent smoke!

Here are a few pictures of my plants, harvested after just seven weeks. They are Hindu Kush and were grown from seed, in rockwool cubes, then transplanted into an NFT 424 system for flowering using Bcuzz nutrients under a 600w HPS. Hope you like the pics!
C from Hull
Excellent read your paper! Here are the results of my second harvest! This time I had 1 cloned Grapefruit, 4 Neville’s Haze, 3 Hash Plants, and 4 White Widows from my last crop, and now I’m waiting for 7 Jack Herer to flower from some Black Label seeds you sent me, and I must say that they look very good and strong plants. I also send you this photo of this lovely unexpected visitor that somehow got up in to my loft! I’ve had my ladies under 600w HPS and have been feeding them House & Garden nutrients as well as a bit of extra CO2 from a method I found on the internet that contains sugar and yeast. The two big buds came from one of my Hash Plants and it’s a seriously crazy smoke! Now I want to try and grow a top quality breed that will be short to medium height, to have a quick flowering period, to be good for Sea of Green growing and have the best yield possible. Out of the B.L seeds I think Ole 47 is the one that meets all the criteria. If you have a better breed for the job please send it!

Ad like to thank me ma me da and all me mates coz a could’nt of done this without them, No.1 x Big Bud, 4 weeks grow 11 weeks flower. Yours since’ sticky pussy.

I thought readers might like to check out one of my favourite varieties...Citral x Skunk cross. It is the favourite for flavour and effect (quite heavy) with my friends, it is not fussy, grows well, and stops when put into flower, and forms sticky medium sized buds from the top down to the very bottom, whether you are flowering a huge bush or a 6 inch sprig...no air buds. It is a delight to grow and harvest. I would marry this variety. I don’t ever want to be without it.

What u reckon to my fat buds and hot tits? Here we got 4 Hash Plants grown in water with an airstone bubbling away under a 600w light, 5” extractor and filter, these were grown for 3 weeks then flowered for just under 11 week, the system was fully emptied on 7 week and filled back up with good old plain water to flush the babies. Hash Plant gets some serious fat buds and so can easily get mould so a decent dehumidifier was used for the final 4 weeks and it worked, no mould! My top tip is to wash your hands in vegetable oil to get rid of the sticky fingers.

Here’s a few pics of my lovely girlfriend modeling my mate’s harvest. Some fancy outdoor plants that were self sown. Everything kept totally natural and so is my missus. Hope you enjoy the nips as well as the buds!

I took this picture while I still have a copy of SS to do it with as someone always steals it from my house. The plant is a Lowryder, the seeds came from UK grown Lowryders, out of 4 seeds only this one has actually stayed true to the LR gene of height, the others are more than double the size of this one and have not got as much bud just yet. My plants are growing under a standard 400w HPS in a cubicle a little less than a meter square in soil/vermiculite mix and have been fed with a little concoction of my own up till flowering and since flowering started I have been using Ionic Bloom.

I’m inserting 1 picture of my (SuperSkunk number 1) crop for you to see! I love your paper and it’s contents as it’s really interesting. Can’t wait to get the seeds though! I’m just about to crop again, and know it’ll be a good one as alway’s! Which babies do you like better, my boobs, or the plants? Keep up the good work Soft Secrets... xxx
I’ve finally plucked up the courage to send u piccies of my last years outdoor & indoor Cheese x Psychosis (I think) crop along with my wifes aging, but firm, fair-skinned Gaelic body. I was intrigued by your article on Top44 x Skunk Special. 1 variety that has stunned me this year is Sweettooth, which was given 1 six-hour night during its 24hour (constant light) growth cycle at around 4 weeks. It then decided to flower & despite my best efforts to stop it/ slow it down, it continued to produce some small but lovely well-knuckled-up buds under 24hour lighting . Even after 8 weeks of continuous light it did not go back to veg, so I decided to plant it out (after summer solstice) with my other varieties hoping that the buds would just keep getting bigger & better, whereupon it decided to go back to veg growth. Some 8 weeks later now it is well into producing new buds. Has anyone come across this behavior before? Is this a characteristic of Ruderalis? As it flowers under 24 hour does this mean that it will produce the same results but twice as fast?
