don, is that 4ml per litre yeh?

aye 4 ml A and 4 ml Bive gone higher but came to realise its better to go lower. i use 5litre bottles when i make the feed up and usually go with 4 x 4ml not 5 x 4 so i can get a bit more P/K in or whatevers going in.

not got any of the bio-bizz left but got some tomato food and some general purpose veg nutes of there any good? leftovers from my veg garden last year, there only pound shop jobbies tho

so at what kind of plant age do you up your nutes to 4ml? all mine seem to be very nute sensitive, anything over 3-4ml per litre an they burn to shit an thats in flower, in veg they dont even like 2ml

 

[supersillybilly]

I think you water is pish m8. That could b the prob with your seeds. I use 7ml per litre. Mind ive got good water up here

pretty much as soon as i flip them 12/12 they might get 1-2 waterings at 3/4 strength but then i feed my veg girls just about half strength. or do you mean the pk? i reckon its your water im up north so it medium to hard. if your soft water id think about one of those filter things forget what they call them now, they go in your fridge

 

[Saerimmner]

yeah i think you may be right, so now its a case of either go back to soil and know i wont have these problems or start learning about P.H. and all that shite which i really have no interest in,, hmmmm soil FTW methinks, better start looking at some, im going to do a coco/soil/perlite mix to use up all of this coco ive got laying about, can i still use the A+B coco nutes ya reckon?
Any suggestions on soils? I used to use tomato growbags emptied into a pot since i had ready cheap access to them at the time but this time im actually going to have to buy some proper soil i think

ive tried numerous ways since growing in coco, tap water/bottled/rainwater/filtered water and the end result is the same no matter what, everything gets burnt to shit even at low doses

ya carnt grow wrong with soil sae.... (good soil) yeah you can mix this and that and be a cheap arse lol but saves alot of time/hassle just getting bio-bizz allmix

i always think bout hydro,coco but then fink if aint broken why fix it soil can be a pain in the arse but its just too easy.

 

[Saerimmner]

thats settled it then back to soil we go, any reccommendations? potting soil? with or without peat/compost/bark etc

 

[sambo020482]

for the sake of 12.50 per 50ltr bag just go for the bio-bizz, yeah ur get a shitload of replys get john innes mix it with this or that will save ya 4quid per 50ltr or some shit like that, just grab some bio-bizz with some bb grow n bloom, topmax is ya can afford it.

bio-bizz allmix with the grow n bloom if ya carnt get a healthy plant/yield with that give up geezer lol

 

[del66666]

just go get a cheap ph tester kit from a pet shop and a bottle of ph down, its all i use, it aint rocket science.

 

[supersillybilly]

Why not go hydro sae. This wilma dripper i have is easy as fuck

 

[Griffta]

I've got canna nutes so I went with a bag of canna soil, dunno what it's like yet as I haven't repotted em but it's supposed to be good

mr nice mango haze, anybody smoked or grown this? got the super lemon haze want to add another daytime fruity flavour.

 

[Saerimmner]

hydro has never massively interested me, i just prefer growing in soil, its what im used to, going over to coco was just an experiment and one that i jus cant afford to prolong ending if i keep getting these results.
Im going to take a wander down to wilkinsons tomorrow and pick up some perlite and see what kind of soils they sell in there as its a lot easier buying from there for me atm and i think im going to run out my canna nutes and then go back to bio-bizz nutes as they never failed me before.

Hi all,

I need to get a new 200w 6500k cfl and am having second thoughts about ordering from a from hydro store online.

I never grow more than 2 plants at any one time so my guess is I would just end up with a caution if caught ( simple soil grow, nothing 'sophisticated' - fuck I hate that term)

I monitor Google news regularly (keyword 'cannabis') as a way to keep up to date with what is going on and the number of people getting busted these days for relatively small grows just seems phenomenal. I mean really.... are there that many stupid people??

This got me thinking about the possibility of the rozzas monitoring grow shops by means of the following :

1) standard surveillance of the shop... writing down car regs etc.
2) Internet monitoring of the store's website traffic (tracing online purchases)
3) Monitoring of the financial transactions to trace back to the purchaser. While this is not evidence alone it might be enough for them to pay a little attention to your property in the event or whatever


In your opinion guys, how likely do you think it is that the above 3 methods are used?


Feel free to call me paranoid but in a lot of these cases the reason most cited for the bust is usually along the lines of some thing like 'it was bough to our attention by the public'. Do that many people really give a rats arse?

sorry m8 but that just weed paranoia, if that happend at hydro shops online or not how long do you think they would stay in business???

ex partners, ex friends etc bust more grows than any flir cams or police surrvalence on hydro shops imo.
