    Re potting

    I start them in a tiny 100ml pot. Then I go for a 2.5L pot and I put them in a 12.5L pot. I veg for 10 - 12 weeks. If I am doing clones I put them straight into a 2.5L pot and then the 12.5L pot and veg for 8 weeks.

    Piece of Mind is a superb album. I haven't had chance to listen to their new one.

    Fantastic album. Possibly their best. That or Number of the Beast.

    Bad growing advice

    I wish I had the time. I have two kids, one with special needs, and I work for myself. Good for you for reusing it. I have discovered a place locally that produces and supplies compost locally. They have a contract with the council and take all of the local garden waste, compost it and sell it...

    Miracle grow perlite

    I'd just use it as is. It is just regular perlite in a Miracle Grow bag. I bought a huge bag from Amazon, it worked out super cheap and lasts for years. If you don't want to buy it online. Look up local builder's merchants or DIY places, it is used as cavity wall insulation and is really cheap.

    What Nutrients you using?

    Currently, on my indoor grow I am using GroSure Tomato feed and Epsom Salts. On my Autos, I use Tomorite Tomato feed and Epsom Salts. My plan is to slowly move over to dry amendments.

    Can I mix Advanced Nutrients with PK 13/14

    Wow. It is all mostly snake oil and largely just a way of taking money from your bank and putting it in theirs. But Canna PK13/14 is a good product. In fact you could do worse than using Canna A & B and PK13/14, then forget the rest.

    It isn't about the sustainability of the peat moss, it is about the CO2 release when it is dug up. Peat bogs are a massive CO2 soak. The sale of it is being banned in the UK and Europe anyway. Yep. I am planning on buying an electric car too.

    I’m a new and need help (auto)!!

    What is in your soil? It is probably rich enough on it's own. I mix up my own soil and I will only start giving Autos feed after they have started flowering properly, up until that point they just get plain water. When I do start feeding them it will only be a basic tomato feed and epsom salt...

    Why ship something anywhere when you don't have to? I am not a fan of using an imported product when there is a perfectly acceptable alternative made in your own country. It is bad for the environment, a waste of resources and bad for the economy. But if people want to use it, then that is...

    Bad growing advice

    I live in Northern Europe. Coconuts don't grow here. In order for Coco Coir to be used here it has to be shipped across the planet. This is not sustainable, especially when there is an abundance of locally, or at least in the same country, produced mediums available. There are plenty of reusable...

    I won't touch the stuff, it has a similar environmental impact to driving everywhere in a V8.

    Why is there a problem using Miracle Grow? If it works, it works. I was surprised how many people use basic fertilisers when I admitted to using tomato feed.

    I never PH either. I PH my tap water all the time because I have a hot tub. I have never had a PH problem. When I was grew in the late 90s/early 2000s it wasn't even a thing. We just planted them in coir and gave them Ionic A/B, it always worked. In these more enlightened times I would...

    Is this a white strain??

    All anyone can tell from those pictures is that it is weed.

    Bad growing advice

    You don't apply it directly to the plants. You compost it first so it breaks down. I have a camper van and we are installing a composting toilet. All of my current plants are in a mix of composted farm manure and leaf/wood compost. I would have no problem smoking weed that had been grown in...

    Bad growing advice

    Since humans first started to grow crops shit of all forms has been used to fertilise crops. I live in a rural area and you can really smell it when the farmers spread the fields with effluent and rotting fish.

    The UK Growers Thread!

    Plenty of places do guest checkouts. TBH I use Google Pay, so rather than giving dozens of companies my banking details I give it to one company and they manage it for me.

    Bad growing advice

    We had a thread on this just last week. I discovered, by accident, that I could get the same results using a mix of cheap grow bag compost, rotted manure and perlite as I could with my fancy pants grow mix. And instead of using Plant Magic Old Timers Tri Pack (grow, bloom and PK 4/8) and Old...

    The UK Growers Thread!

    LOL. The Mrs didn't have a clue either.:D Luckily my grow timers are all managed by smart switches and adjusted when the time on my Home Server updated I am smoking miscellaneous weed #1. Basically, my assistant muddled up all the labels when I potted them up, so all we know for sure is...
