im lookin for a decent range of nutrients for my next grow as im goin nft so any hydro type nutes will work
iv bought everythin i need and i got the nutriculture power gro a&b leaf and a&b flower free (4 x 500ml bottles)
but iv just checkd an after adding a and b leaf together it,s npk is 4.32/0.85/5.84 and the flower is 3.70/1.42/6.52
from what iv heard an npk of 20-10-10 is good for veg and for flowering 5-20-10 is good (i could be wrong)
so im just wanderin what everyone uses and what the npk is ???
i know each strain is different but im lookin at an average npk an am i right that mj is very similar in needs to tomatoes?

just thought id throw this question out again i guess it was a bit late to get a sober answer lol

i love to drink, i love to smoke. but i try and keep em seprate. i only end up meesy when i do em both! my biggest problem is sambuca. when i go out i cant just have a pint, i have to have a jeagermeister or a sambuca aswell! (i suppose thats what 10 years livin in lanzarote does!( over there i would drink free every night as part of my job).
in regard to roaches for me the best were focus points. do they still have them in embassey packets over there?

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

fuck man that takes me back focus points were the best roach going, closely followed by metro tickets not that most of you would know a metro ticket like haha

i go with the shotgun roach looks like a sideways 8

 

[steve1978]

do you put the roach in while rolling or do you put it in after? im always a whilst im rolling man myself. it makes me wet myself watchin people do it after they rolled. its like trying to fuck with a piece of rope! lol

i'm actually thinkin about giving it up almost completely, ive realised that i have no control over it at all, i cant just have a couple of drinks, its an all or nuthin thing with me, ideally i'd only drink on special occasions; festivals, birthdays, new year etc. but ive been drinking every weekend more or less since i was 12 or 13 years old and its destroyed a lot of things in my life; relationships , houses, jobs, an unbelievable amount of money, and created problems for my family and friends, not to mention the health and mental issues. the U.K has always had a heavy drinking culture and scotland especially with the west of scotland probably the epicentre of it all, me and my mates really don't know a different way of life.

i'm like you dura, all or nothing, and by all that means culminating in being heavily unconcious. for me it is a really bad habbit though, it's not occasions, weekends, it is every single night for the past 4 years maybe. quite the addiction. i've forgotten how to sleep, which while i had a job, spurred me to drink to get that sleep, and now i'm unemployed, i'm just saying fuck it drink, rock and a hard place, gonna kick it soon though! and i would flat refuse even a gram at £10 i'll take 1.4 or nothing. i will never pay more than £160 on an ounce, people have never asked more than 200, but today, every ounce i can find if i can, is 200, and dealers prefer to say they aint got any bigs for a week or so to fleece off a few 1g baggies at £280/oz

im not a hydro grower but i seem to hear a lot of guys using the canna range or the general hydroponics stuff. theres that many, when i start my hydro( just waitin on my hydroton coming thru) i'll be using the canna range coz i got sum from a guy as part of a deal.
im off to vote, dunno who for, there all cunts. wheres fuckin hitler when u need him??

people have died, died for your right to draw a large penis on your ballot paper. go and excersize that right!

is use canna A and B, veg and flowering types, PK 13/14 and Boost, all have that lovely easy to dose bottle which almost sells the product to me

LEGALISE CANNABIS CAFES
POLICY papers call for the decriminalisation of “social supply” of cannabis and express support for the liberal drug policies in Amsterdam, famous for its cannabis cafes.

that is the lib dems views (it's an election, so common sense would staet they'd side with the majority and then change things after, so i'm unsure on it's validity)

but that whole moment, fuck, it could be tomorrow. get that money saved and get ready to open up some cafes! if they were to become legal, i would drop any job there and then and get in on the market, dream job or what?

4 plant root mass

thick

babies in flower, notice my artistic support system

miaow!

i think the leaf damage is due to the EC going from 2 to 3.5 over the course of each week, that i'm not always on top of, as opposed to simply because they're getting near chop time

4 plant root mass

tip top do you ever trim back the root mass ? iv been told its ok durin veg to cut 50% but not to touch it durin flower so was just wonderin

 

[tip top toker]

in all honesty i don't really have a fucking clue what i'm doing

i emtnioned this a little bit back dura mate, there was 1 week veg time between those two plants, and as a result, roots and canape of the one on the right smothered out the other (it's actually caused 2 of them to grow shit all)

 

[dura72]

it does look a bit chaotic i notice. well thats my bucket all set up with my airstones in it, a two inch ball stone and little 4' straight stone, i'm using two fish tank air pumps, theyre not very strong on their own but together they're looking fine, i dont have my hydroton pebbles yet, just waitin on delivery. ive got a little rockwool cube sitting in the net pot just to see how much moisture it actually picks up and ive got a fem'd seed sitting waitin to be germ'd next week. so i'm gonna do a bit of reading about the germing process when using rockwool and hydroton and seedling care after its popped its shell.

 

[tip top toker]

i tend to say fuck it to the rockwool. after an hour or so, lift up the lid, if there is lots of water dripping from it's underside, or just hung there, you'll be fine

it is VERY hectic, my next tote i've made up only has two clones in it as opposed to 4. i think the cramped conditions make the additional plants counter productive to the yield. i am notoriously bad at keeping my girls trimmed back though, i tend to let em go whereeverrr

your airstone situation sounds good. general rule though is mroe bubbles the better. i use just 2 round stones myself (round stone inlaid with orange platic. big hole in the middle) and the plants ent dead yet

i imagine that if your tote is setup coprrectly, then it's nothing more than keeping the rockwool vaguely moist and wait. once my clones are stuffed in, there is no farting about, i might pour half a shotglass over the rockwool here and there out of maybe they need it, but left alone and they just seem to do what they do and do it well

edit: one thing i should mention that i've been noticing, is that there is water underneath my totes every week, and i often find little pools on the floor. my thinking is that the increased pressure inside the tote as a result of the airpumps, causes the top section to mist up in a steam, which is finding the edges where the lid meets the tote and seeping out. i need to get a reel of thing rubber to glue down as a DIY oversize gromet essentially. not much water get's out, but enough to stain floors etc.

I use door seal about £3 from wilkinsons, self adesive and water proof, works like a charm.

good man. i'll get on that asap. reckon i can also use a few layers on the doorframe of my cupboard. nailing a piece of wire down the crack only works so well
