Don't partner with anyone it always goes wrong. Grow for yourself,
Don't cheap out, if your gonna do it do it right, Dimable ballast is fine to reduce temps a bit but then u lose yield cos your dropping the wattage. With a cooltube you drop the temps not the watts so you will yield much more.
yeah I know that, I made it clear I wernt intrested when he offered lol. I know what your sayin.. Its just with it bein summer I'm thinkin its gonna get fuckin hot, also where I'm set up at the moment its a bit hard to rum my big extractor, that's why I'm thinkin less watts. I wish I could run 1000 watts just not practical in my current space. What kinda temps are u gettin with your cool time? How much above the ambient room temp does it run? Also do you have an ittake from outside your tent running through your tube or does it pull through Frome inside the tent.. If ya get what I mean lol

I've just got passive intake from an open vent at the bottom of my tent pulling in air from the room, and I vent my exhausted air into the same room after it's been thru the carbon filter. My temps usually sit about 27c lights on and drop to around 18 with lights off,

Hi guys, does anyone know a good soil source that is relatively cheap and can be bought in a normal garden centre as I'm trying to keep my grow as low key as possible so would like to stay away from a cannabis shop. First time growing by the way, any help would be appreciated

Hahah! Okay, I have some multi purpose compost too miracle gro, but I've been warned it can be shit but seen in other places it does the job??
Don't buy miracle mix with nutrients already in it. It's more expensive and just a gimmick. Find this and add worm castings.

Hydro shops are a legal business. No cunt can bust you for what you buy there...

Do you know where I could grab a bag of this? And are the worm castings essentials or do they just improve it?
Buy your shit on eBay. It gets delivered in plain packaged boxes so perfectly safe and legal for that matter, Buy yourself a bag of biobizz allmix soil, it's about 15 quid for 50 liters

you'll want to decide on a nutrient plan. the worm castings can supplement it nicely, but not necessary. I have no idea where you'd find pro-mix. coco works well as a medium too.
Okay and would coco, be enough by itselfs or would I have to add anything extra? Nutrients, fertilisers etc..
