LOL! no the BBC is Big Buddha Cheese. Well the bloke in the shop said to use the green sensation all the way through veg and bloom. And the terra bloom and PK 13/14 in flowering. He also said to only use the PK 13/14 in week 5 of flower?
I use pk13/14 in week 4........and use overdrive for the duration but just recently I used Ripen and Ripen alone for the last 10 days or so....once the shits dry, Ill see if its improved taste

Week 4, or 5, give or take. And if you have green sensation then cool, use it. I just found I was sweet with the Bloom only from Plagron. But my medium also had some goodies in it as well which helped me thinks.
I have used PK13/14 in both incremental way, I have previously added 0.1ml / litre and upped that each week until at 1ml/litre over a 7 week feed regime. Also worked perfectly. I am not quite sure why plants will all of a sudden want massive amounts of pk. Canna also advocate doing the pk13/14 for one week only. Personally I don't use it anymore.

Is that a rhetorical question....with water of course! lol.

Seriously, it's a piece of piss. There are two big plants at the door. They get moved out of the way for watering. Then I just reach in an water individually.

Let's put it this way, you find a way, lol.

actually, it's a tad easier with the pots up on shelves. It's really only the ground floor which can be a bit of a pain. And if you don't mind the odd trickle of water running down your sleave then the upper shelves are easy too. What I can pull out of this 1.2m squared cab is a no brainer as far as style of growing. Vertical all the way. Who cares about g/watt. Where I come from its g/m squared.

Can be a number of things, normally means a Nitrogen deficiency, if it continues look for something with a decent N value. Or you can buy N in nute form. However, here is the tricky things with plants, when they show a deficiency it can actually be due to something else. So do an MOT, check PH of medium, give leaves a check out (underside as well (for critters). Give a foliar spray, a good water with asomething that helps with the uptake of nutrients and helps leaves start photosynthesising....stuff like Iron, Zinc, Molybedenum, Magnesium, Calcium, trace elements that are 100% essential for nutrient uptake and plant development.

Alternatively, pull the yellow leaf off. Give the plant a bit of scran/food and monitor.....

Personally I am with Bill, I would do the 2nd option I suggested (fuck all really, lol). But then if you are new to growing, it's always good to go through these exercises. Good luck.
