I just posted this in another thread but it has some good information in it so I thought I'd make a thread for people looking for some solid information. This is from an interview with Adam from T.H. Seeds.
Your preferred growing method? For personal use go for a good bio soil follow the nutrient guidelines of that particular company, In Europe most particularly Holland there are hundreds of different nutrient companies promising bigger this, better that, more yield etc. I recommend giving them a try but sticking with them for that crop rather than mixing this with that. As to my preferred growing method for production, go for coco, coco slabs, to me I find using the slabs a lot more controllable.
Finally, any tips for our green fingered U.K. readers? Great question. If a plant is healthy from the beginning, has vigorous growth and is bug free, then the need for extra nutrients/boosters isn't necessary, and you will find the natural balance of your garden. Companies are always offering better results, promises of better yield etc. but how are you going to tell if you don't know how your garden grows with little or no aid from extra nutrients or boosters? Also, before you put your garden into flowering from 18 to 12 hours, give the plants 36 hours of darkness; by doing this it, will reset the plants natural body clock. After 36 hours (or anything between 24 and 40 hours) the plant will go straight into flowering rather than adjusting from 18 to 12 which in some strains can mean an extra few weeks. When the plant is finished give it another 36 hours, this will reset the body clock again this time the plant knows it is finished and will push out all remaining energy into its last trichome production try it. There is so much different advice or tips that the only thing I can recommend is that you visit us here at Hempworks the next time you come to Amsterdam: we are on the Nieuwendijk to the left of central station. Here you will find a great selection of Hemp wear, seeds and great glass ware as well as a good hit of sage! See you soon.
