Yeah I do and they check like every year not quarter the other 3 quarters you just email them. Its basically to check your not miles out and fleecing them. Simple matter is you can knock them back and re arrange.

The gh range is pretty solid and easy. Comes.with buffers built in so you can't really fuck it up unless you go crazy with it.
cheers mate, ill give them a go. im going to try a few plants in soil with biobizz to see what all this talk about organic is. it cant be worse than adding bud candy and guarnokalong lol

They reckon for taste its belter. I started in soil and thought coco much better and little to no difference in taste.

If your going organic do some reading on compost tea. ;)

Hey guys any idea how to get rid of thrips? I hear them talking about spinosad but this aint available in the UK. I have some gnat off from a previous infestation of fungas gnats but it didnt work against them so i dont see why it would work against thrips. Im only in my second week of swithching 12/12 dont know if this will affect the kind of treatment i should use. Should mention its an indoor soil grow, i have 17 plants and have spent a fortune on my set up so pissed off is an understatment.

Have found something on ebay called pest off which is a spray containing pyrethrum? but i raed somewhere that pyrethrum needs to be used in concentrated amounts and the sprays dont do the trick, any help much aprreciated guys.

my mate uses GHE and his always tastes better than mine even when he quick dries it. i thought it was just the difference between coco and clay pebbles.
ok cheers mate ill have a look into that now :-D
do you think 4x 10L air pots would be ok in a 1.2m tent or should i order bigger pots?

all this talk about GTA5 has got me cursing the lack of funds in my wallet lol. i loved vice city and san andreas

So my Dad phones me last night to chat bubbles for an hour (as he does sometimes).

After a random 2hr convo he asks me what the going rate on an oz of weed is so I tell him.
He then asks me what MY price on an oz is so I tell him.
He then asks me what MY price to HIM is so I tell him.
He then asks me if he can buy off me from now on because he's not happy with what he's been getting locally.


Kin ell Dad, why are you even asking? Just ring me and order ffs!

Are compost teas effective in indoor soil pot grows??

My understanding with this coupled with my limited knowledge on true life organics is that everything in soil takes time to decompose and become usable. This is why outdoor growers use teas, just a question and observation.

Having said that I will be using worm casting tea in my next dwc run..when I find somewhere to purchase them, but everything is available in water straight away, as opposed to soil.

I spoke to plant magic a while ago when I wanted nutes with buffers in to correct ph. They don't do this (gh flora nova, canna aqua range Tec does) but he did suggest NOT recommend using the soil nutes with coco and said they have good feedback on growers doing so. Maybe the way to go if your after organic hydro using coco.....

No mate everything is not available straight away in water as opposed to soil, organic nutes still need breaking down even in hydro.

bleach basically but i don't think you can just water down domestos. you dilute it and fill the pots to drain so the larvae in the medium are killed off and then put some in a spray bottle and soak the fuck out of the top of the plant, under leaves stems the works. repeat on a 2-3 day cycle which breaks the little asexual fuckers breeding pattern. repeat as necessary.

I ment everything is always constantly available to my plants in there dwc buckets, as I use "non" organic nutes. (If there is such a thing) and they do not need the use of microbs etc to decompose nutes. They are constantly available.

My bad

And im supposed to put this in my soil? I appreciate the heads up but a little bit more info would really be appreciated like what the fuk am i supposed to do with it, spray it, dilute it at what ratio? what concentration? and wont this damage my beneficial microbes in the soil i mean its used to break down damaged roots and shit. Gotta be a safer way. But really just putting H202 isnt really helping much. Whilst i dont expect you to wipe my arse, a little bit more info wouldnt hurt guys, spent a fukin grand on this set up and well fuked off, spent a week thinking i had some fuking nute deficiency and now find its these little fuckers, got enough problems with lighting fucking up etc, kinda loosing my marbles right now, sorry if im sounding like a twat, but loosing it.
