The UK Growers Thread!

Hows things UK!!
Couple of things id like some opinions on if thats cool, gonna be starting my next op and i dont know what bloom fertz to get like canna or bio ect. i use growell.co.uk can anyone point me in the right direction in what wud be best as i havent really used advanced ferts bfore. Growing white russian in soil under a 400w hps.
Oh ye iv got this baby bio here what i used on my first grow and that turned out to be my best so far had excellent results so i take it this is a good nute for vegging with? http://www.dobbies.co.uk/acatalog/bayer-pbi608-baby-bio-original-plant-food.html
 
canna and bio both require you to use both parts A and B for flowering. just for ease of use i'd reccomend the Canna A+B, while i'm sure it is a super quality nute, it's just that little measuring thing that does it for me, so quick to use :D)

It would seem so, although the canna is for veg and flower, use part A and B equal quanities throughout, so you can dump the baby bio, unless it really is that good (you can do a comparison grow using canna if you like)

cheers for the link, i'll give it a read later. and that's exactly what was pissing me off, if he'd turned around, as i asked him to, and actiually schooled me on why his statements were actually the grail, or just tried to argue his point, i'd have been happy, but it was very much an "well you enjoy growing shit cus i grow trees my way" replies, and then linked me to a very dubious read of a thread.i mean he really believes that just because mother nature doesn't add nutes, that there aren't nutes in the ground, in the runoff from stream water etc, or that the plant doesn't check the ph....doesnt' mean it won't effect it. if i take the spedo off my car, i don't know whether i'm doing 30, the kid doesn't know if i'm doing 30, but when i hit the kid at 50, well i think they'll notice the difference!

it's like when you get someone with 95 posts who comes on and demands that he get's to write an FAQ, go awaaaaaaaaaaaay

Yeh i was just looking at the canna range and seems A is vega (grow) and B is Flores (bloom?)
If i was just to get them 2 and do away with the baby bio should i get maybe some canna PK 13/14 as well to feed in the late flowering stage?

inbetweeners is (was?) great. do you know if they axed it after 2 series or?

and my canna nutes state that it's 4ml of A and B throughout, no A for veg and B for flower, it's as simple as that :) and you simply squeeze the bottle to measure it up :)

Yeh it would if u over-do it i used it with a multipurpose soil and got brilliant results an thats without bloom fertz i just starting addng it about 4 weeks after sprouting, but to be honest i didnt have a clue back then lol
 
i take the baby bio yooz are all talkin about is the standard stuff from any garden shop little odd shaped blue or green bottles?
 
thats the stuff... to be fair, i got some decent plants with it.

was refering to using b&q as a grow shop more than not recomending the baby bio, the pre nuted soild compromised any oppinion i could have on the bio other than when i added it, it burned my plants....

i've swiched to the canna stuff simply because i can get it off the shelf locally, it was cheap enough and it was recomended by others.

I hear ya mate, b+q can be handy for alot things like rooting juice,cloning juice, pots ect, or anything like that but yeh wouldnt go by their soil.

i bought my miracle grow from bnq, i know a lotta people dont like it but ive never had any bother at all, but i didnt put in any nutes for about 5 weeks, i started from seed with bnq own brand potting soil and then onto miracle grow( i added perlite and vermiculite). my mate used westlands also from bnq. dont get me wrong though after listening to a lotta people on here i think i'm gonna go with a plagron soil although greens horti have a new rang i mite have a go at. i wouldnt get my nutes or that but i get my pots n shit from them though.
 
ok lads i havent decided on my nutes for my next grow yet and i dont want anything too fancy, 3 bottles at most. ive been using biobizz grow and bloom so far but lets hear all the recomendations? would like to keep the total under £30. i grow a basic old school organic set up. so lets here whats the best i can get in blighty.
