i'm not saying it doesn't work or do a good job, its just not organic, seems kind of pointless to go with the soil option if its not organic but thats just me I guess.

If we go soil we will definitly be going organic, I think soil is actually looking favourite now as it's a lot cheaper and katt wants to grow Californian hash and they aignt the cheapest seeds around haha.
 
i ve always used miracle grow and my mates use westlands, 2 x 50 litre bags for a tenner from b&q. only issue with miracle gro is that its got slow release nutes and although i've had no problems at all i know sum people complain about nute burn( i never added any nutes for first 3 to 4 weeks though).70% miracle grow, 20% perlite, 5% vermiculite.total cost under £20. eventually bio bizz nutes, gro and bloom, treacle at the last few weeks of flower, all in ten litre tubs, under 1000 hps for flower. water roughly 3 times a week(aroound 2.5 to 3 litre per water). pulled 23 oz from 6 plants, although one plant was moved halfway thru flower due to possible hermieing and put under 400 watt hps on it own.
 
hey guys how's every1 this mo? i didn't know john innes wasn't organic might sound stupid but i didn't think you could get non organic soil, well ya learn something new every day!
 
I got out of the shower and my wife said, "Ooo look, it's like a penis ... only smaller".

I said, "Ooo look, it's like my secretary ... only fatter and less flexible".
 
i'm off to pick up soil later £12.50 for the bio-bizz soil i was paying £12 for the j i soil £5 vfor the perlite and another £5 for the sand cheers sambo saved me a few £

Wow mate 23 oz from 6 plants that is great.
Sooooo intrested in learning more if you are up for giving me a few tips????
 
think i got some pics in my albums, if u go into my public profile and search around a bit in the albums section (i dont really bother taking much pics)...just a normal tin of tate and lyle treacle westy, cost 50p from tesco( somerfield wanted 75p the robbing cunts) kept on hearing bout all the yanks using mollasses so i checked it out and although u can get mollasses here it easier to get treacle(it just a pure sugar carbohydrate, helps bulk the plant and apparently mellows the smoke a bit, although u gott awatch out during summer coz the sugar may attract bugs). dunno if it helped much but i was fuckin over the moon with my results, i'd only anticipated 3 oz per plant at best.....yeah lpool any thing you wanna ask mate just fire away, if i can help i will or maybe give u sum tips as to where u may get answers buddy
 
Hmmm treacle, do you water it down or something? I will give it a try if I can spare the treacle coz seriously I have been known ( when I was about 15) to drink a full squeezy bottle lmao.
 
That would be the dark treacle, you don't eat that by itself :p and it does make an acceptable replacement for molasses, I've had to do the switch for gingerbread cookies :p

you can eat dark treacle like that, although golden syrup tastes nicer.

Haha, yeah I just meant in regards to RiffiX, he doesn't eat that by itself, it's the golden syrup that he chugs on occasion! I know there are a couple websites that have American products, but it's quite difficult to find in normal shops. I only just scored myself some maple syrup from aldi, but I want to check out some of those sites and get myself some spaghettios cuz the heinz hoops are just not cutting it for me!

there is far too much "sauce" in a can of heinz spaghetti.

You can get some nice maple syrup, tesco's finest is pretty good.

I don't really shop at aldi.
