Hi all, first post on here, im a newbie with my first grow on the go (8 northern lights), still vegging atm as they are grown from cuttings and 3 plants arrived 2-3 weeks before the other 5 so got to wait for the lil`uns to catch up a bit, they are in soil(from a growbag) to get me up and running but eventually will choose a more efficient method.
down here in deepest darkest essex amongst the XR3i`s and white stilleto`s(according to everyone thats never been here lol) prices are roughly £25 for anywhere between 2.6-3.5g of absolute s**t(hence why im growing my own), ounces are £160+ and your lucky to get 27g for that( yup told you it was bad) if you can get hold of any in the first place which is an extreme rarity these days.
My plants have started going a bit yellow which apparently is either a magnesium or sulphur deficiency so ive jus started them on an epsom salts solution (magnesium sulphate) to try and sort this out, but hey its my first grow so something was bound to go not according to plan lol.
Before i go away and stop boring you just wanted to share a couple of extremely useful links ive found during my `net trawling, 1st one is a nutrient deficiency table which tells you whats wrong with your plants and why (yellow leaves, brown edges etc) and how to correct it.
2nd on is a company ive found in the UK that supplies fans/ducting/carbon filters etc a lot cheaper than ive found in head shops or on ebay so hope these help someone at some point.

chances are it's not made any different stuff you find on the street, only thiers will actually use quality bud and trim as opposed to just bunging whatever is around into it
not a massive fan of hash but it has a lovely smell when you burn it

alrite dragon, yeah i dunno what them spots are either but they dont seem too harmful? i liked the idea of changing dirty money up in a casino never thought about it but when i read that i thought yeah 1000s must do that hay, good idea.
and u only got 5 in that tent witha 600hps and you dont think your gonna yield much? it must be the strain? or cause its from seed? cause my m8 has 2 tents the same size 1 400hps 1 600hps both with 4 bb clones in each they are 7wks into flower and comparing with the 19oz from 4 crop recently hes gonna beat that easily i have grown 2 bb clones in the same size tent with a 600hps and the final yield from the 2 was 13oz!
that 13oz harvest has been the best from the bb so far but i think that can be beaten too cause i didnt have great airflow or the bio-bizz heaven, my 2 biggest i got at the mo i really think will yield 7oz+ each, i topped 1 of the big 1's and it has 13 top main budsites.
i have only ever grown 1 other strain than the blueberry and that was from seed it was purple1 i ended up with 1oz a plant! but since the BB clones ive not grown or seen anything less than 4oz a plant.
oh yeah and also my friend has been doing a test with bio-bizz heaven hes given it to 2 of the 8 and them 2 are definatly the 2 best looking/biggest girls its fucking expensive but definatly worth it.

i wish mine were like that mate i'll put a pic in my sig about ten past nine after the lights go on should i take them with the hps off? i think i should have just had the 3 in there mate they seem to be crowding each other the 1 in the middle is just a cola and a couple of branches with bud but it has dissapeared for the most part you'll see what i mean in a bit any suggestions for this pic to help you get a better idea?

wait outside the tent with cam ready then just as the lights go on you should be able to take a pic without them lines on the pic, u gotta be quick tho m8 cause once the light heat up and changes colur then your av lines in the pic.
either that or just take a plant outa the tent and take the pic away from the hps. look 4ward to seeing em m8 another fing dragon nxt time m8 might be an idea to have the lights on daytime that way ya neibors aint wondering what that fan noise is at 3am lol i got mine 8pm off 8am on.

just hold a piece of carboard infront of the light don seems to take his photo's lights on by simply placing some white card behind the plant.
io pull mine out so i can get the best angle
