    Which seller? I have never had an issue with any online seed purchase.

    Flush or wait another week to start?

    It'll make no difference to the ash colour. As we speak I am smoking joint of Bruce Banner #3 in a Rizla Silver paper. Last night I was smoking the same BB#3 using a Highland Extra Long paper, the ash with the Rizla is a light grey. The ash with the Highland is pure white. Yet I used the...

    Can I use Purpinator with advanced nutriens series?

    Yep. I have a several bottles of fertiliser I will never use on my weed. They'll end up being used on the garden. @420foreverQQ Down the years I have bought into the different nutrient lines and mixed up all manner of potions, believing the hype. What I have learned is that they are mostly...

    No Cal Mag

    It isn't really twisting anything. You are feeding your plants. Be it a liquid feed you mix up and apply with water or a dry feed you mix into the medium, it is still feeding.

    No Cal Mag

    I don't use CalMag. I use a Liquid Seaweed Plant Food and it claims to be rich in Calcium and Magnesium, I don't get deficiencies, so I guess it is. I also add a TBSP of Epsom Salts to a gallon of feed every few weeks.

    the 7th days of seedling, not like any I saw in youtube

    I have a pair of T5 LEDs for seedlings. The bulbs were a direct replacement for the 20 year old of T5 fluorescents. The only difference I noticed is that the LEDs gave off zero heat.

    Why Not to Use Grow Address for Seed Order

    I used to buy it for that. I can't imagine doing anything without the aid of the internet.

    Why Not to Use Grow Address for Seed Order

    TBH it is amazing the High Times still exists. Although, my new lights came in a box with a sticker that said "150w LED grow light kit". Luckily Covid rules prevent the courier leaving it with a neighbour.

    gaia green and coco? how?

    I am not being funny, but in 8 weeks of veg, pinning shoots as I went and topping each branch when it reached the edge of the pot I ended up with a dozen viable heads per plant and a perfectly horizontal main stem. At nearly 8 weeks of veg I'd want to be seeing at least 8 viable heads on each...

    gaia green and coco? how?

    Nope, genuinely don't know the guy. I have never commented on whether organics and coco work together or expressed any opinion on you or your plants. TBH I'd rather not use coco, for other reasons, but with UK legislation banning peat sales I am probably going to have to use a coco based mix...

    gaia green and coco? how?

    I have never said that is my opinion.

    gaia green and coco? how?

    I haven't said you can't do any of that. I was merely stating that Mr. Canuck is a grow gear salesman and explaining why I think that.

    gaia green and coco? how?

    So this is your first grow and you are lecturing more experienced growers on why you believe they are wrong when they offer constructive criticism?

    The UK Growers Thread!

    I know. I get that sometimes seeds don't pop, the odd one. But to get a whole pack that doesn't pop, especially when everything else you germinate goes perfectly. If they were cheap seeds from a crap breeder I'd be more forgiving, but they weren't. They were Afgooey from Green House. I had...

    The only seeds I have never had germinate came from The Vault. They weren't interested.

    The UK Growers Thread!

    Big Bud or OG Kush from Sensi Seeds. I have a pair of mothers that I am flowering now that must be a year old. They have been vegged indoors, then outdoors, then indoors again, been chopped for clones and chopped down to nothing because they got too big. Both plants have really been through...

    Hi, What do you mean by mistreated?

    gaia green and coco? how?

    It because he doesn't know what he is talking about. He is making videos that tell people what they want to hear. His videos never go into any detail, he PHs his water. How? He never details of explains the specification of the lights he uses. He never runs into major problems. He gets...

    Copycat genetics

    I have had a hermie once in 20 years and that was caused by something I did. If the genetics are sound and the environment is good then it shouldn't happen. I don't claim to be a breeder, but the fact you are telling me this guy comes up with a new breed on a weekly basis tells me all I need...
