    That is utter nonsense.

    My plants are dying, please help.

    I haven't read the entire thread. If you want success in weed growing the first thing you have to do is keep it simple. Cannabis is the same as those beans kids grow at school. What you need to do is get a basic enriched soil mix, I believe Fox Farms is very popular. It will have enough...

    If you are in the UK, have a look at Plant Magic Old Timers. I have been using it along with Plant !T Pro Mix.

    Topping vs. Super Cropping?

    As soon as they hit the 5th node I bend them over and cut the top off, that gives me 10 tops right away. When those new tops grow up a few nodes I top them and pin them down. I get a nice level canopy and shit loads of tops to become colas.

    Reuse Soil?

    I use mine as a mulch too. However this year we are going to use it for our potted fruit and veg. I am going to add some Fish, Blood and Bone. I am considering it for my weed too. This year the price of premixed soil has gone from £18 a grow to £40. Plus with the huge electric price...

    2 x 600 watt led perpetual grow newby advice

    The flaw in your plan is you are expecting the plants to finish on a set time scale and plants really don't work like that. It would be impossible to even guess at a yield. Autos are not a great idea on your first grow. Autos can be as simple as can be or a complete pain in the arse. If you...

    The UK Growers Thread!

    There are cannabis clubs? I have no idea how that would work, but it sounds like a recipe for getting nicked. Outside of my Wife, my Daughter and my best mate, who lives in Sweden, nobody knows I grow weed.

    Can I do 3 in a 4x2 tent

    You are lucky, mine is only 4ft tall. I will twist them every which way to keep the canopy low. I can't believe I use to grow with a 400w HPS in that space, but I did and it worked.

    Can I do 3 in a 4x2 tent

    I am about to put 2 x Afghan Pearl CBD Autos in 7.5L pots in a 4x2. It was going to be 3, but one seed fucked up. Use a net or LST to get the canopy to spread out and keep an eye on the humidity.

    Germinating in Rock Wool

    I first started growing in 2001, with some seeds I bought in Amsterdam from Sensi Seeds, the were Shiva Shani II. I kept that strain going for a few years. I stopped in 2015, because the Police turned up when I had a load of plants out in my conservatory and I was taking clones. That was a...

    Germinating in Rock Wool

    I have been using the paper towel method for 20+ years. After reading how much better plugs are supposed to be, I tried them. Nope, the paper towel method is better, YMMV.

    Tent Maintenance

    I wash all of the pots and saucers in anti-bac dish soap and hot water. The tent and all the fittings gets a full dust with a brush and then a full vacuum. They everything gets a spray with anti-bac cleaner, not bleach, and wiped dry. I don't use bleach as prolonged use of it can rot stuff...

    Best mechanical trimmer

    1oz or 50oz, whatever. Trimming sucks n' blows, at the same time. I have to get me one of these.

    Help with issue on auto.

    Absolutely spot on. I bought an amended coco, basically coco with composted wood matter and worm castings. Dreadful.

    Help with issue on auto.

    This. My Autos get grown in the soil from tomato grow bags and then half strength tomato feed once a week, from when they start to flower. They get some calmag at the start of flower too.
