    THC/CBD Autos...

    The wife uses CBD vapes and I figured this might be good. The seeds are coming for virtually nothing, so I figured why not. I mean just for fun as in it is something to try, an experiment if you will. I don't really care if they don't come to much. I am going to stick them in my veg tent...

    What if

    London is in the South East, so it is hot and dry in the summer, with little wind. Where I am is windy all the time and rains a lot and generally milder year round. Humidity is my killer.

    Small or Big Containers

    I always start in a 50mm (2") square pot. When they get to the 4th node I will pot them up into a 17L pot (4.5 US Gallon/3.8 Imp Gallon). This way they generally need no extra feeding until flowering starts.

    FLUSH OR NOT?

    I don't flush. The very concept is nonsense, put about by idiots that have no idea how a plant works. There is no other commodity crop on the planet where flushing is even considered to be a thing. Yet with cannabis it is a thing because stoners say so, oh do fuck off.

    Lifespan of Quantum board

    That must be about 6 years running 24/7.

    Chinese versus Western lights

    Mine came in kit form. A mate bought them and assembled them for me. As I said before, we could have had them etched as Mars Hydro. If I put them next to a Mars Hydro TS1000 you couldn't tell the difference. Mars Hydro are about £170 each, mine were £75 each, same spec.

    28 hour light cycle

    How do you know it is a 9 week strain? I have seen seed vendors quote all sorts of flowering figures, that are all complete fantasy.

    THC/CBD Autos...

    Got a pack of these coming... https://sensiseeds.com/en/research/afghan-pearl-cbd-automatic I just got them for a "bit of fun" I will chuck them in my veg tent with my seedlings. Just wondered if any one has any experience of them or something similar.

    What if

    I am in the far south west of England, it is way milder than Scotland and I have tried and failed with Photos outdoors. It isn't just temperature and light, it gets way too wet and windy here. Yet Autos germinated in May are spot on, but only in a poly tunnel or green house.

    Advanced Nutrients dosage levels?

    If you must use AN start with the dosage low and work your way up.

    AN Organics from the European Union?

    I have made it a policy to ignore any cannabis product that involve's cartoon characters. I have a friend that swears by AN. He spends a fortune and wastes his time mixing potions to achieve what I can with a half decent organic soil mix and a generic liquid seaweed based tomato feed. Add in...

    AN Organics from the European Union?

    Why bother? With AN you are paying a lot for package design. You'd do just as well using a generic plant food.

    Starting to grow indoors

    Depends where the tent is sited. If it were in one of the rooms in my house then I wouldn't need a heater, the lights would be enough. However, I grow in a loft space, which isn't so warm so I use a 500w oil filled radiator at 50%. Does the job.

    Chinese versus Western lights

    This Chinese vs Western thing is a bit of a pissing contest, TBH. I can see why a pro, aka someone that grows for a living, would want/need to go for the top shelf "Western Brand", the aftersales support will be much better and the overall product will be of a much higher standard. Which is...

    Strains for the UK outdoors?

    I did the 5 Autos in 2021. That was enough smoke, for me, for nearly a year. They were a bit of fun. I did one Auto this year and got an OZ, TBH I did very little to it and it started early so was quite small. They look proper nice. I have to buy some seeds soon so I might look what places...

    Strains for the UK outdoors?

    I am about as far south and west in the UK as you can get and photos are too hard to bother with. Autos are great though. It is so mild here I could nearly do two runs of Autos. I have done 5 RQS Northern Lights Autos (freebies) and got 10oz for my efforts and it was fucking awesome, probably...

    Chinese versus Western lights

    Where then South Korea? Vietnam? Taiwan? TBH I can't see Samsung setting up a specific production just for one OEM.

    Is this a potassium problem

    I assume you are growing in a soil mix of some kind. Autos don't need anything like the level of nutrients that a photo does. For example I am giving my photos 6ml per gallon of Old Timers per feeding. In the summer I grow Autos in a poly tunnel and they get what is in the soil and a weekly...

    Best way to heat a 4x4ft grow tent

    I just check and 32F is actually 0C, which is way colder than 5C. Why people use the Fahrenheit scale is beyond me, it is way too confusing.
