Hi guys im new to the site, been looking in for a while snd thought id take the plunge lol.

iv got 8 plants all doing quite well in my greenhouse, im unsure of the strains as i just used seeds iv collected out of bud iv bought but 2 maybe 3 are deffo looking like sativa and the rest indica im guessing (only by height n leaf shape at this stage).

one of the sativa's? is showing female already, i used the advice of a friend which was to transfer to 'big' pots asap after sprouting and roots were established. i used this method a couple of years ago with 'random' seeds and had 100% success rate (all female) im not sure if it was a fluke tbh...

il post some pics soon and you can help me identify if possible!

enjoy the sun like my ladie(s) are!

im an organic soil grower and i use the biobizz range, its about a tenner a litre and i have great results with it mate. i just use the two basic products; biogrow and bio bloom, i also use treacle as an additive and epsom salts twice thru flowering, there are other alternatives but im gonna stick with this stuff for my org/soil stuff.
 
i need to get some bloom nutes i dont want to add any more nutes yet as the capsules i put in last up to 60 days, so by the time they run out they should be stsarting to flower so should i just use bloom?

personally i continue using grow nutes all the way thru my plants life , although at a reduced rate during flower, 2ml per litre as opposed to 4 or 5 ml, it keeps the leaves much greener and healthier lookin. i dont know anything about capsule foods though buddy, i always use liquids becoz there much easier to control the amounts and if u get nute burn u can halt it straight away.
 
cool thanks for the advice i think the best thing i can do it to wait untill the end of the 60 day period, then feed liquid nutes and bloom to avoid over feeding...

have you got an outdoor or indoor setup?
 
i only used half the recommended amoutnt just in case any way, the plants seem heathy enough to me at the minute tho...

what strains have you got on the go?

as dura said id also advise against the capsuels i had nute burn not that long back an found it really hard to control as i had pellet nutrients mixd with the soil (coco noir) as well as the liquid nutes i was adding, it really cuts down how much control you have
how old are thos girls iv found my greenhouse plants arnt even half the size of my indoor gals

i need to get some bloom nutes i dont want to add any more nutes yet as the capsules i put in last up to 60 days, so by the time they run out they should be stsarting to flower so should i just use bloom?
if you only use bloom nutes you might wanna add sum nitrogen a couple of times to stop the leaves yellowing or once every 2 weeks add a mild veg feed to your mix

im tryin to decide wot nutes to use for my next grow as this time round iv just used wot i had lyin around
miracle-gro eracacious 8.2.2 for veg and phostrogen 14.10.27 for flower there both shite and very chemically
il either use canna vega and flores or biogrow and biobloom, is the biobizz simple to follow ? its organic aswell int it ? i want organic just cos its hard to burn plants with oganic
i guess il go with which ever is cheapest of the 2 as iv heard there both very good

very nice! you seem to know what ur on with mate! all that for personal?

as dura said id also advise against the capsuels i had nute burn not that long back an found it really hard to control as i had pellet nutrients mixd with the soil (coco noir) as well as the liquid nutes i was adding, it really cuts down how much control you havehow old are thos girls iv found my greenhouse plants arnt even half the size of my indoor gals
il definitely bare that in mind for next time, i only gave them one pellet each (half the recommended) so i think they'll be fine...

they are roughly 6-8 weeks some i kept in smaller for a little to long so i think a couple may be a bit root bound! one of the taller ones is showing sex already (female) so fingers crossed for the rest!

thanks for the tips guys much appreciated

btw i cant get hold of any weed 2day, gutter on a day like today pfft.
:peace:

yes bud its all for personal, i only sell it to people i personally know,... no mate im a trader in societys needs, im the guy that takes the risks for very little profit.
@ buds, yes mate it fuckin idiot proof( thats why i stared using it..and continue to do so)and biobizz is organic. i start with 2ml per litre of the grow building up 1ml per litre each week(max of 5ml but i never go that high, i keep to 4ml) then drop to 2ml all the way through flower. the blooms the same but when u peak at 5ml per litre bring it back down 1ml per litre per week until the last week. u can flush if u want but its not really neccesary coz its organic, that of course is just my way, my mates all do the same though and we dont really have any problems. only problems we've ever encounterd as a group was mould growth and that was due to a fan braking down. we dont do anything fancy, we just do basic organic and we do it right, thats not arrogant its just based on our yeilds.
 
i really need to get in with a decent grower iv been paying 50 on a Q for way too long its depressing!

the other week i got some that looked an smelt like dutch but when you blaze it it made my lungs go all tight and had trouble breathing,i thouht mould at first but i wouldn't be suprised if it had been sprayed with some toxic chemicals! gritweed,sugar blasted,glass powder...what the fuck?!

iv found the wider the pot is then the wider the canopy will be, i guess its to do with the fact that in nature the foliage has to be wider than the root area to keep it shaded
