I ordered the same stuff. Well the non amended one (Dippin my toes in some mycological studies lol), the NPK looks good for veg, but ya may need to amend it depending on how long you veg and will Def need to bump the PK come flower. I will say the consistency is great though! No long strands or big chunks like ya find in the cheap coco blocksTill may yikes where did ya hear that from.

What did you order yours have ya link please and what do i need for flowering? Dunno how long the NPK stays in coco but it's high in N 20 (P 5 K 5.)

https://www.thegardenshop.ie/peat-free-growing-medium/ this is the one I got, but it's got no NPK so I'd say the one you linked would work better. As for flower, if ya want bottled nutes I'd go for plagrons alga bloom. If ya want dry top dressings then fruithill farm in Cork do rock phosphate and raw potassium (and loads of other organic additives)

Last lot of the defoliating done for this round, it's a pain but in such a small space it's gotta be done.
Also have my next round topped to fuck to make the most of the scrog net.
And I fear I may have murdered my prize alien rift mother (hopefully not but i have clones to start a new mom if needed)
Ooh and worm piss! The plants love it! Throw it in my bubbley bucket with some mollasses and water, and in 2 days I've got microbial rich goodness!

Worm piss you say. Tell me more, where do I buy it? Also, how much molasses do you put in? I put in about a teaspoon per litre. I also use this stuff mixed in with the soil at the start of a grow. Anyone else have any experience with it? Other than water and molasses and this stuff should I be using anything else?

I was thinking of making a 1m x 1m 4” thick insulation board box out of kingspan or similar. It’d be a bit of an investment to make (that stuff ain’t cheap) but I think in the long run it’d lower the leccy bills and I could put more plants in. Having said that, it’d have a much bigger foot print in the shed and is a lot less stealthy. Thoughts from shed growers?
I appreciate everyone’s help, I know I always come here with tons of questions!

Well technically its worm leachate, I get it from my worm farm (really easy to make and ya just feed em kitchen and garden scraps), but any microbe rich substance will work as an inoclant for your brew. Compost and milk are good options, and 1tsp of mollasses per litre is bang on.Worm piss you say. Tell me more, where do I buy it? Also, how much molasses do you put in?

Finally, what sort of spaces are you all growing in? I have a 70 x 70 tent in the shed which I finally have the climate dialled in inside but it’s sucking the leccy something fierce. I currently only have 2 plants growing in there with the seedlings coming up behind them. I dunno if there’s space there really for 3 or 4 proper plants.Easy Boost Organic Nutrition - Royal Queen Seeds

I've never used that stuff but reading through it looks like it's a well rounded top dressing. Ya could add a lil bat guano and seaweed meal but they're not 'essential'.
As for the tent situation, I flower 4 at a time in an 80x80 (it's tight but with some defol and lolliopping totally doable). I rigged my old hps up to beat the cold, exhaust hooked into veg, and veg is hooked into mother/clone. I also invested in some tubular greenhouse heaters, perfect for keeping the chill away when l lights are off.
What are you using to keep em warm at the moment?

Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated! I’m thankful to get so much help from you all. I’ll look into the worms, I’ll get the kids involved too! Yeah I bought two 40w thermostatic tube heaters a few months ago and covered the tent in attic tank insulating material (which I think did fuck all to be honest) I recently got a third heater to fill in the gap due to the weather we’re having. They work great actually but I leave them on full blast 24/7 hence me looking at an insulated box. Lidl are doing those Mylar type material windshield protectors so I bought 6 of them the other day for when I build the box- I got some funny looks from people walking around the shop with my hands full of them. Good to know you can fit 4 plants in, if I make the box 1m squared I should be able to get 3-4 in easily with the baby replacements coming up behind them. Nice one again man!

Deadly. Good to know. I measured the 1x 1 space out on the kitchen floor earlier with gaffa tape. Yeah 4 look like they’d fit nicely in there!

I bought the same windshield protectors in lidl i have 6, have poles for a 90 x 90 x 180 tent but no cover! Doing a test with seedlings in my sitting room but the light gets through very easily.

Gas, great minds eh?! Good to know they leak light but I should be fine cos I’ll have all that insulation to buffer it.
