Yeah, been growing it probably about 8 months now. It's getting better every time i grow it due to changes in feeds, mediums, drying and curing etc. It is a very nice smoke, but after that long i need to change it up with a different strain.

Definitely man. Just trying to tune my setup in so that it's easily doable. As it is best i can manage would be cheese for a month, alternative for the next month, cheese for a month, new alternative. ideally i want two different strains coming out at the same time, there's never any left by the following harvest to be able to mix it with :D

Hey

Anyone know any good "real life" headshops in the uk? Anywhere...just I'm after some recently discontinued seeds and I'm thinking about ringing round some places to see if they've still got any in stock...

EDIT - everywhere online has run out, except for one place which took my money but 2 months on I think I've been scammed as they never turned up AND the place hasn't got back to me despite me emailing them...all the places in my town aren't able to get them as their suppliers have run out of them

Hi ya all :)

I seen a post on this section the other day asking about Hydro shops with good prices ( but i can't find it now :( ) Anyways , I have a bit of a story to tell but not enough time today to tell it ...But heres a shop you guys should check out http://www.homehydro.co.uk/

They are pretty new to retail ( around 8 months ) but not new to Hydroponics , Very descrete and helpful guys with prices that are pretty hard to match , Along with other shops and wholesalers , I have been in talks with them for a few weeks about giving something back to customers , Its a slow process as you can imagin , But Allready Home Hydro have shown they mean business and offred 10 % discount on ALL products :)

May sound like im promoting them ... and in a way i am , I'm a guy just like you ...I LIKE to save money and spend hours tracking down products at the lowest prices to make sure i get a good deal , I like others to benifit from it to though .

I can't go into detail right now about what plans i have as im pretty snowed under , But if you are in the UK and would like more info on discounts on ALLREADY Low priced products ... And how you can make a differnce in the Hydroponics industy ..Just drop me an PM and i will answer asap :)

Hope you guys are having a great weekend :)

:peace: V

hey guys just a quick one but i have heard from another forum that B&Q's purple bag compost is one of the best budget growing mediums to get with some added john innes and some perlite? just wondering as im using J.A Bowers potting soil and im really not impressed with it, ive improved my lighting this grow and have gained a bit of expirience from my previous 2 grows i think its just the soil i need to improve now. i live in a very comunal estate where everyone can see everyone and i have no garden so i dont really have any where i can start making complicated mixes can anyone suggest something simple, stright forward and easy that will give me good results. if the B&Q compost is a good bet please let me know. ta

I've not heard of the BnQ purple bag compost so can't help with that i'm afraid. If you want a really great medium that requires little to no mixing etc, and offers fantastic results, read up on coco. It's really great stuff, i found it much nicer to work with than soil mixes, and many other uk growers found the same.

ok where can you pick this stuff up from? by the way whats your opinion on cutting leaf tips some one suggested it i tried it on a few of the big shade leaves and within half a day i could see a huge difference, she wasnt unwell before but she seemed to liven up a hell of alot? not shure what the idea of leaf tipping is though just that its better than removing the whole shade leaf as this isnt a good thing to do?

Coco can be had from any hydroponic store, else you can normally have it deliverred straight to your door from an online hydro shop. Mine came packed up in a big cardboard box so completely stealthy, if a rather heavy box :) Take a peek at Don gin and Ton's thread or Mr Wests, they both use coco and both get stonking harvests i am very envious of :)

As far as trimming leaves and cuttting tips etc, can't say, seems to be evidence for both sides of the argument. Personally i leave it all alone :)
