i'm almost ready to start a dwc experiment myself buddy and im kinda thinkin of going for the canna range or general hydroponics range of nutes, try googlig growell or greens horticulture for u.k suppliers, or even ebay.

only thing about the lucas formular is to be aware that during the plants life, let's say week A, the plant might gobble up all off everything but K or whatever it may be, but as such, your ppm/ec will still read a good number, so when youtop it up, you are just adding more of K or whatever it may be, that it already had enough of and surplus. it works fine, you've just got to keep your eye out and be prepared to refill from fresh. salt buildups and such inside the tote might also want cleaning out periodically.

TIP TOP you were talkin abpout tents an stuff these metal cabinets are excellent if you have a garage or even a spare room as its lockable so no one can mess with ur shit an its easy to blend in in certain rooms like an office or garage

Man: Im a bit kinky. Was wondering what you could do for me?
Woman: Well it depends, what kind of kinky?
Man: I like to be totally dominated, degraded and humiliated
Woman: Yea, no problem. It will cost you £40
Man: Great, what do I get for that?
Woman: A celtic top...

howdy peoples, hope every1 is good.

av been on the clone hunt these last few wks 100% had enough of blueberry now, so far have managed to get PPP,bubblegum,chronic,echeese,psycosis,white widow,northan soul and acopolco gold. 3 of them are from seed but i wont get em until they r clones. got 1 more run of blueberry then i think im gonna go with the ppp and echeese.

would highly recommend that northan soul as a cash crop its a cross of skunk#1 and northan lights very hardy strain see a few growing at the wkend n they looked BIG!

nice going sambo mate! that's quite a haul you've found.

and dura, i would personally either clone her out, or find another seed. i've read up on switching them over and it seems that it is VERY hit and miss as to whether you'll suceed in killing it or not :lol: that gaffa tape you mention? what type, namely because 1. i've never found light proof gaffa tape other than the really heavy black duck tape, and 2. if you resorted to a dark colour your res is more than likely going to heat up as it absorbs everything, aluminium tape is normally reccomended, it keeps light and heat out and as such encourages healthy roots (i sound like a fucking infomercial)

its just the standard grey/silver coloured gaffa tape and yeah i noticed it wasn't totally light proof i think i might stick sum cardboard on each surface just to cut down the light pentration, ithink i'll just got with a seed. do i just pop it in to a presoaked rockwool cube and add a little a water or do i paper towel germinate and take it from there. i always do the paper towel method for my soil grows and then put them into a heated propogator and keep my humidity high. give me run down on your method buddy if you dont mind.

i've yet to try rockwool without a constant water source. rockwool dries out fairly rapidly as far as i can tell, and as such i think if i tried with just rockwool in a heated propgator, i'd be too lazy to make sure it was always moist etc. i'd reccomend germinating and then putting in the cube i guess.

what sorta cube do you mean if u dont mean rockwool, a jiffy plug or what? like i said i only ever use the towel and then striaght into soil with a dribble of water.

nah, i mean rockwool, but i root my clones out in my DWC bucket, so the bubles keep the rockwool a constant wetness, as opposed to if i just wet a rockwool cube, chucked clone into it, popeped into prop, i'd constantly be forgetting to give it a little water as it dries up etc. no reason you can't do it as normal, just i've not tried so wouldn't want to cock it up :lol:
