I know that, running out of money wont be an issue, I'd much rather go into the seed shop and have a bit of chat about a few things with the staff though, knowledge gives strength to the buds, I'm sure that's how the saying goes ;-)

I promise you I'm not ...

Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey is the same as the question

"How did the mouse eat the mountain of cheese? A peice at a time"

Similar to saying don't do too much at once, great things can be accomplished one step at a time.

and knowledge gives strength to the arm is an old, old one ... I have more too, although alot of them are Tsun Zu :lol: :lol:

gone WAY off topic, but this is my favourite;
For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the supreme of excellence. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the supreme excellence
with this a close second;
If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.
Anyways... seeds.... ;-)

Ended up buying Caramella from Homegrown Fantaseeds on the guy in the shop's recommendation. The plant looks lovely from the pictures, the guy says it's very easy to grow and we will be most pleased with the results. Has anybody got any experience of this plant? Not so much the growing, but the end product?

Neldo,
If you want to keep your plants small you should try pruning. If done right you can keep them low and extra bushy.
Bending is also good as it keeps the plant profile low too.

[quote="Neldo"]a nice easy seed to grow for a newbie, pref small plants with dense buds... we only have a small cupboard and hydro kit for approx 6 plants, but I don't want them growing too high, as I say, small in height, dense buds with a good yield and obviously the stronger the better. It's for our own consumption only and we much prefer Indica, although I'm sure I read somewhere these are harder to grow? If that's the case we'll start Sativa. Can anyone confirm this for me?

If any growers can point me in the right direction I'd be much obliged, I'll be over in 'dam in less than 2 weeks and was hoping to bring pack a pack of seeds and end this vicious circle of me eating beans on toast all month so I can afford to smoke to good stuff ;-) :lol:

Yer thoughts please...

firstly sativas are the hardest to grow and least producers(great smoke none the less)indicas produce more,secondly if your a new grower i would recommend not using hydro system as very hard to keep on top even if your an experienced grower.talking from experiences,not just mine but associates also.
your first question relates to my previous answers,most indica plants are basically child proof to grow and can take a lot of damage and still recover if grown in a medium(soil) ,small squaty plant,dense with good yield.
so my choice would be "pot of gold" mainly indica ,very sweet taste smooth smoke,easy to grow with great yields with a flowering period of 8-10 weeks(depending on your preferience high or heavy stone)
i,ve been growing for several years now and have a list of my favs so hope this helps your choice but i must emphasis if your a first time grower do not use a hydro set up unless your 100% sure of what to do its a real headache at times.(thats my humble opinion)
1.ak-47
2.el nino
3.big bud(heavy buds,need to be supported 3-4wks into flowering or might snap)
4.NORTHERN LIGHTS (probably the easiest to grow and good blo for begginers,)
ps. careful where you get your seeds shady shops in the dam,go to the cannabis college and you will get a discount across the road where i just purchased my latest seed j.herer
well bud hope this helps you a little everyone has there own opinion but you will be growing succesfully in no time,all the best.
MAINLY INDICA IS WHAT YOUR AFTER......................................peace............................
