Stop panicking, she has poked her head up and she is just getting a grip with her roots before she starts her thing. Growing weed is real easy. Chill out......and there is no such thing as being root bound. Just need to water more often. My m8 is growing 5ft trees in 5l pots

Everything is going wrong at work :D Which is great, because it means i've bugger all to cook and lots of time to fart around listening to music and having cigarettes :D If it's the same tomorrow, i'm gonna experiment making fresh stuffed butternut squash pasta :D

That is the extent of my life, work. Although i just found out that i might not have to pay much if any tax at all. Tax is paid on profit made, and after i've paid off the appropriate phone bills and rent bills etc required for me to do my work, then there's not much profit to try and tax :D

Good day yaself?

and billy, therre is most certaily a thing such as being root bound. It doesn't kill your plant but it will certainly have an effect on it's potential size.

auxins, a plant hormone, are produced in significant quantities in the upper growth regions of plants, promoting cell elongation. Auxins travel from the shoot tip to the base when the plant is actively growing. It plays a key role in the formation of plant roots.

And at the same time cytokinins, another hormone, are produced in the plant’s roots and move upwards through the plant to the growing tips. As the roots system grows larger, it produces more cytokinins, which in turn, signals the plant to grow and branch more. As the plant continues to grow and branch, it produces more auxin in the growing points and auxins influences root development, so the plant grows more roots, producing more cytokinin to stimulate more growth.

So if you limit root space, like most growers do, to an area that is to small it keeps the plants from being capable of creating the various hormones needed to get full growth and full production.
Certainly not 7 days from seed though as suggested :lol:

Thats it TTT. COOK THE BOOKS. Never make anything over 7400 and no tax paid. Thats why I have 4 seperate companies and if you go limited you can pay tax free divi's at the end of every year. Just kidding if the HMRC are reading.lol

I ent cooking the books for shit, all legit :D The majority of my expenses can be written off as business costs. I cannot do my work without renting my flat, i cannot do my work without my phone contract, i cannot do my work without adequet nutrition, that essentially writes off 60-70% of my money. I'd keep roughly £3500 a year profit, the rest is invested back into my business requirements :D, no tax to be paid on £3500 now :) Got a new lass at work who does all the taxes for her husband and is and old hand at it so is a good person for me to know :)

haha, nah, no credits for me, i'd refuse them anyway.

All i need to do is convince the tax amn that my flat is wholly and purely for business purposes :D Should be easy enough to do. Define business, i'm self employed, life is business :p

You've got no chance of putting your flat down as a business expense. Do that and they WILL audit u. Get an accountant. When I was a sole trader my accountant cost me 200 a year and that is tax deductable

My colleague and neighbour state that they do it just fine. It's a while till tax returns, i'll just have to read up and see what's what. Besides, maybe it is a business expense, i pay for the use of a kitchen in someones house to cook in, there happens to be a spare room that i'm allowed to sleep in when i like :p if only the tax man were that easy to dupe :D

It appears that the hydro shop fellow's are rather retarded. Was in need for some flowering nutes so texted a friend the list of what i needed including a bottle of ph down, first funny thing was he went into the store and was too paranoid to ask so couldn't find anything, he doesn't even grow, but then when he showed em the text, they informed him there would be no need for using ph down as the nutrient buffer it. Sigh. No, it clearly states on the bottle that they buffer or such after the initial setting, so now i've lots of nutes and i'm not in the mood to start experimnenting with lemon and limes. Lost emselves a fiver the silly sods.

Interestingly though, i read the back of the canna aqua line propperly, whoops, meant to continue with flowering weeks for 3 weeks of 12/12 or there abouts, i just give em nothing but flower from first day fo 12/12 :D we'll see what happens.

Lookin just dandy there trand. Nice work! I've always tended to scrog rather than LST, although i've always had a feeling that LSTing prior to putting the screen in, could be a really good thing.

Only 32 posts and i've alreayd got to spread rep before giving it again, you're doing well :D
