My bro burnt a few buds coz the lights were a bit close, nothing major though. The smell is great and they are really starting to fatten up. Really, really sticky. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

i usually go 24/0 until they're around 3" tall( normally bout 2 weeks), then 18/6 until around 2.5' tall (normally about 4 weeks) then flower 12/12 ,between 7 to 9 weeks. thats old school organic growing using cfls for two weeks(various wattage, depends what ive got lying around), vegging and flowering just depends again , sumtimes 400mh for veg sumtimes 600 or 1000 hps. depends on space available and temperature control. water and feed 2 or 3 times a weeks, keep a close eye onthem fo hermies but in general just leave thefuckers in peace. most common problem with new growers(and we've ALL done it) is to fuck around and panic. dont run around buying expensive shit, nutrients, fancy lights, most of its crap sold by snake oil salesmen. if its ur first grow just watch and learn, ask any question u want even if u think its stupid, u will get an answer, the uk thread has a lot of very experienced guys covering almost all styles of growing. if ur using feminized seeds watch for hermies, if u really want to avoid this issue buy a product called 'Dutch Masters reverse'. costs around 30 quid and will stop any probs apart from that have fun and dont stress yourself. we tend to become like parents of newborns at first.
Cheers, thanks for the info, I'm using moss peat + perlite + vermiculite for the seedlings, then I was going to use potting compost + sharp sand for the big plants. For nutes I thought I'd go with bio buzz grow, bloom and top-max. I've got a 200W cfl for seedlings + veg then a 400W hps for flowering. Sound OK?

Man, i've been smoking like an ounce of it a week for the past 18 months, shit get's old! Been trying to get hold of an old dealer and trade cheese gram for gram with whatever he has, need to change it up, got potential seeds for the future, but everythings not going correctly, especially my plan of an october bugger off, might need to push that back till january.

Over to Canada for skiing, but me being me, only time i happen to ramp things up with breeding and alternative strains and i ponder plans to pack up shop possibly for a long time 4 month from now. Think mountain lifestyle for 6 months trumps growing right now though, although at the same time been offered just today a good increase in hours at work. Doh :D Crack open another bottle and think about it another day :D

sounds fine mate, i personally dont do anything complicated( im a fuckin lazy drunken scottish coke addict wi the attention span of a retarded gold fish), i start my seeds in basic pottin soil( i was using b n q own brand but had few fungus gnat issues) i add a little perlite too, then i when i pot up i use miracle grow (75%) perlite (20%) and vermiculite(5%), i also use the bio bizz grow and bloom and add a little treacle or mollasses over the last 3 or 4 weeks of flower.simples. if u decide to try miracle grow be VERY careful when feeding nutes as the soil already has them in iit, lotta people get there plants burnt....although its never happened to me....then again although im a lazy drunken scot etc..im not a fuckin spastic. throw ur 400 watt at them for veg as well mate, just wait till there about 8" tall and keep the 200cfl all thru flowering as well, as long as heat ,and of course the cost of running, isnt an issue the more light the better.

the best thing about shagging a transsexual from behind is if you reach around halfway through it feels like you've gone through them

I'm too drunk to advise :p wait till they're a good sizem like 6", then start feeding em as it sais on the bottle. If there are lots of roots in the water, it can generally take feed.

I've opened another beer and i'm decidedly less pickled! :)? does make sense but it feels so :D that's really as siple as hydroponics needs be though :) when i take clones with rockwool, i let them root, stick them in and give them water till they've a nice root system, and are a good size, 6" or so, then i feed them often full strength, they enjoy it (canna nutes). I've never bothered with my ec meter, certainly i could make good use of it, but it's not vital, i get by just by observation of water colour (deeper shade = higher concentration of nutes) and leaf health. Don't always suceed haha, but i give it a go :D Hydro in my opinion is simple as piss, or as omplicated as flying a submarine, it's what you feel like making of it :)
