We'll see. I am logging the electric usage. TBH I don't think there will be a lot of difference.

Yes, but photos seem to take much longer. At the moment I am happy I am saving 300w of lighting.

I am lucky I am on a single tariff as I am not a gas customer. My electricity has only gone up 30%, I was paying £0.22 per kWh and now I am paying £0.28 per kWh. I have dropped my energy consumption around the house as much as humanly possible. Luckily my heating is fuelled by my log burner...

I got an eBay 4x4x6 loft tent for £95 two years ago and I am very pleased with it.

Who said I run them at full power? Having 4 means I have greater control. I start my seeds in cardboard plugs and they live perfectly well under a single lamp at 20%. Then they go in 2L pots, under 2 lamps at 50% for a few weeks. Then they go into 17L pots for the last couple of weeks of veg...

Import direct from China on a group buy, fraction of the price.

In a 4x4 I am using 4xTS1000s, 600w in total and it works well. My last grow yielded nearly 20oz from that space.

Psychedelic effects come from within.

I used Jack's Magic for a long time, it was always good stuff. I stopped using it because supplies dried up during the first lockdown. I notice it is now available in a low peat formulation.

I use the soil from Tomato grow bags mixed in with a little perlite.

Or water from below.

Nope, definitely Ca. Too much K was considered. I wasn't giving too much K to begin with, NPK 2-3-4 and it stopped progressing when I gave some calcium nitrate solution. But that led to a little N toxicity. When I spoke to my mate about it his first suggestion was too much K.

This is exactly how I am thinking. I don't have a problem with N or Mg, so why would I want to add more? Also, CalMag is so damn expensive considering it is just Calcium Nitrate and Epsom Salts. I think I am going to get some and see how it goes.

Interesting.

My last grow was my first under my TS1000s. In the latter stages of flower I got some Calcium def on a few of the plants. I have a mate that is a chemist and he suggested using this as a source of calcium that would be instantly usable by the plant...

I make mine up in 5L batches, to use straightaway. From time to time I will have a little left over, maybe a litre. I'll save that and use it the next day, but I don't make it up in advance.

Transplanting Autos is just fine. I used to think the opposite. But I currently have 9 Autos vegging very nicely that were all started in some home made plugs and transplanted into 17L pots after a week or so.

Tomorite is just a Liquid Seaweed feed, NPK 4-3-8. It is good stuff, I use it all the time. You should be able to get a comparable product.

This is why I use WiFi switches for handling the timing. When the routine runs I get a notification and if I don't get a notification I can check and adjust the light from anywhere with an internet connection.

Don't fuck about and buy a Space Case Grinder. I bought one nearly 20 years ago and it is still as good as the day I bought it.
