i have heard ocean fox farm is very good but cant seem to find it here in the uk?

 

[brock]

man i doesnt really matter what medium you use to grow, just remeber if your using nutes to make sure you pH balance everything.

when i grow soil, i just go for the cheapest and use water

 

[123petey999]

yea mate if ur lights to far away from ur plant it will just turn out a thin tall lanky thing with less yield bro!

 

[brock]

true, i can always lower it when its getting bigger.

im vegging for 14 days then flowering/budding for 57 days, but still want to try and keep it quiet small but make it compact.

@whitewidow2

bro you dont wantthe garden centre soil, you wil regret it. you will have problems like, pest, seedlings dieing, and loads more, i made the same mistake as you and there was no one to worn me, you will alwais need sterelised soil! remember that! if your to worried to go to the hydro store then make some one for you and you pick it up from them next day or somet. ill tell you what i do, when i go get my shit from the hydro store i keep a good eye out and dont go straight home go shopin and then to a mates house make lods of U turn middle of the road so you know if some ones follwing and take some one els's car some ones who doesnt live at ur adress. i wuld recomend for canna coco pro soil for you, with all the canna nuts you will love it,

and your going to have to go to the hydrostore or order online at some point, when you need some equipmint like ph meters ect ect ect ect stuf that you cant get from garden centers

they dont do fox farm here in the uk, most uk boys growers use canna coco pro and all they range nutes. let me know if u need help on any thing

 

[24kgeez]

Hi guys, was wondering which seeds/plants would be the best for a pc grow box? Would the cheese strain be good for this?

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

a pc grow box probably a short stout indica or an auto flowering strain.

Agreed, i ust makes sure i don't buy huge items from the store unless i can help it, but even then i'm not doing anything on any scale large enough to turn a possible suspicion into being tailed or watched etc. If just going to the hydro store is getting you paranoid, you wait till there's a FLIR chopper hovering over your house panick mode

Nas, surely if they are following you, they'll have run your plates , meaning they'll have the cars registered address?

 

[brock]

before i went to bed i took peteys advice and put another box under the system to get the plant closer to the light.

here some pics i just took.



im glad i bought this power plant system, the plant seems to love it

 

[lefreq]

you wait till there's a FLIR chopper hovering over your house panick mode

i live right near a lil airport and the amount of things that fly over my house used to have me shitting it every time, the worst one is when ya actually in ya loft when you hear one lol..... i have even learnt to tell the diff between a chopper and a small plane without even looking out the window i get something fly over litterally evey 15 mins 20 percent of that being police choppers. im rather relaxed about it now as if i didnt get raided in the middle of summer while i was on 18/6 then i dont think im going to!

Hi guys, been meaning to introduce myself on here for a while, but with 996 pages I was put off with the lack of time on line recently, anyway. I’m from the uk, and in the Northwest, I’m not a manc nor a scouser or plastic either. I have recently started growing due to the crap 2.2g £20 bags and also sick of the “heavy shit” sellers market.

So I have decided to grow my own, which are the tastier, uplifting and energizing affects (more on the strains another time). I don’t consider myself a beginner or an expert though I did have some fun when I was younger (17 years ago). I do have a few friends that grow on a regular basis were we like to do swaps, lends etc.

I’m currently growing Autos with a couple of photoperiod types due to freebie and seed company mix ups. I’m using a 400w Sunmaster in a low bay industrial hood in a small door less closet painted white, using soil|Diahydro mix while I finnish building my homemade stealth grow box.

I would like to point out a few things so that other people can steer clear of the problems I’ve ran into, which are the following

1: Westland compost with added John Innes and +west, 2 for 1 at B+Q. DO NOT USE (5.5ph soil that burns and locks up nutes)

2: Magic Grow general compost EVEN WORSE (ph 4.7 runoff with same ph 7.2 water)

3. Cheap PH meters on ebay don’t last a week (square yellow ones!)

4: Samsara Kiss Dragon On The attitude, Isn’t Autoflowering

5: Nirvana auto seeds have been pulled from there website, but not from other seed banks

6. Ionic nuts are very confusing as bottle, website and chart have all different values

7. Don’t use to much Diahydro on the surface of the soil as it soaks up your water and nutes to only then let it evaporate back out the pot

Kindest regards

Mr Tweed
