phew just finished the thread! now im up to date. i've got to say dan that my grow is quite similar to yours, but i need to step my game up!!! we use the same medium (coco) and we use the same nutrients. (canna). like you i am very happy with my nutrients and the medium. i like the size pots your growing in, mine are in 7litre and some 11litre. i can see the difference between the ones in the bigger pots. i like the idea of 45 litre pots and i suppose thats why your buds are so HUGE! lol. i see you put in the CO2 and this is my next investment. did you buy the bottle of CO2? the reason i ask is im in ireland and the guy in my local grow shop says that i can only rent one wgich is 17 euro a month and a 350 euro deposit. this doesn't includ the regulator.
anyway im impressed with the grow and your a perfect example of what can be acheived if you are willing to -read-learn and listen!
how long to go now buddy?
Hey steve, If i can, im + repping you for reading the hole thread. I got my Co2 bottles from a guy who advertised in the free ads. He Get's his bottles from pub's. He must have a contact who fill's them for him. But you could just find a supplier yourself and have them fill it. I paid £20 per full 20 Kg bottle and when they are empty he exchanges for £15. Try local free ads and paper's for bottles and Gas. Other than that, I could have gone to a few pub's and asked them. Or there are businesses that will supply to the welding trade. I got my UNIS regulator from ebay ( £125 ) and worth every penny spent. Real easy to use, with instruction's. COCO and CANNA are my new best friend's....lol
They are into week six. The strains i have flower for around 9-10 week's. So i prob have between 3-4 week's to go. The colas are really starting to pack on weight and fill out. I read about large pots for plant's to grow in and from what i have read is that the more medium a plant has, the more root it will have and more root means more flower power....lol
My next grow im going to veg for 7-8 week's so that they are truely massive. And so that the root mass can really fill the pot's im using...
P.s the guy at your grow shop sound's expensive ( day light robbery, even dick turpin wore a mask lol ). Just get out there and look, Im sure you will be able to find some bottles of gas for next to nothing like mine...
Dan.
