    Solid wetting agent?

    Brexit is proof that stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote. Is ordering from the UK really that bad if you are in the EU? I am in the UK and ordering from the EU hasn't really been too bad.

    Solid wetting agent?

    Literally any dish soap. I just use the cheap stuff from the local supermarket. I don't really have the problem with my weed plants, as I bottom water, but this year my veg garden was a nightmare to stop drying out. Dish soap worked well.

    Best way to heat a 4x4ft grow tent

    . I have no idea what 32F is off the top of my head. I suppose it gets down to about 5C in winter. I use it when the lights are off. If it gets a bit cool when the lights are on I have a little 80w green house heater that kicks in as needed.

    Chinese versus Western lights

    Yep, none of it will be made in the US or Europe. China are not the only purveyors of cheap labour.

    Chinese versus Western lights

    Pros don't rely on Chinese customer service. I just looked at an HLG Patriot 150, as it is a comparable spec to my lights. It uses a Meanwell driver, that is Chinese made and it uses LM301H leds, they are Chinese made. The light may be assembled in the US, but I will bet my left bollock that...

    Chinese versus Western lights

    Yep. I'd prefer "Made in the UK", but the point still stands. I have been running them faultlessly for a year and they were half the price.

    Chinese versus Western lights

    Or Chinese parts assembled in China, branded as a western make and shipped to the user direct from China. There are UK stockists that have a 3 - 4 week delivery time on their branded lights, because they are drop shipped direct from China. No matter what electronic device you buy most of it...

    How many times do you like to top?

    I top first when they hit 5 nodes. Then I LST and top again as I think they need it. It depends on the strain and how they are performing. For me it is all about trial and error.

    Nematodes

    I have used them a couple of times to combat fungus gnats. They always seem to do the job.

    Solid wetting agent?

    When you water add a little dish soap, job done.

    Chinese versus Western lights

    I have 4 TS1000 lights. My mate assembled them using the exact same components that Mars Hydro used. He bought the components direct off the manufacturer in China. He could have even had the boards etched with the Mars Hydro logos. Apart form that you couldn't tell the difference. Most of...

    What nutrients are you guys using

    I am going to continue with some experimentation. I am going to try the peat free version of Jack's Magic, I used the peat version for years with no issues. I have no problem with the actual medium, it is likely that my fungus gnat issue came from the place I bought it from. I can't be...

    The UK Growers Thread!

    I always flowered the mother each time and took clones from the clones. I had a Shiva Shanti 2 clone going for years with zero issues.

    What nutrients are you guys using

    I thought it was a European thing.

    What nutrients are you guys using

    TBH, after yesterday I don't think I can recommend it. I have fungus gnats and the only place they can have come from is the compost. I had everything dialled in until this point, the loss of peat is like going back to square one.
