hey.anyone use a halide for the firatt week flower to iliminate the initial stretch of early flowet


and that tormorite tomato food. anyone used it in coco
Only used them mixed in with hps and had great results. Would still be doing it if I ran 3 lights in my flower cab, but switched down to 2.
It should keep down the stretch if you are using it on it's own but I can only say that from what others have told me.

Cheers mate, i buy mine( soil) from wilkinsons 2x 25L for £4, not the cheapest or most expensive in the world but its a good soil, does not compact as much as something like light mix, is already PH`ed and is overall a nice light fluffy soil, if you have a wilkos near you would be well worth a look as they have got a shit load of stuff in their gardening section this year that is just perfect for MJ growers
thanks mate I'll get down there at the weekend and see what bargains I can snaffle :-)

I have some Habanero and jolokia chilli plants in veg under t5s at the moment. I potted them up in multi purpose cheap compost, perlite, and worm castings. I have not fed them but they are still a little burnt and have curled leaves, from the cheapo soil. Damn you asda and your crappy high peat lime adjuated soil deal, free gnats aswell! I'll post a picture of them tonight if anyone is interested.

Metal halides
Never grown with MH myself but they are meant to be the tits for early flower and finishing up a the end of flower.

Peace

Also on the subject of gnats in cheap soil.....that soil i get from wilkos comes in completely sealed bags so no bugs can get in between it being made n you opening it, that an it already being ph`d are 2 other reason i like using the stuff

whats your thinking behind that mate?
Just that from when you flip the lights, its going to take at least 3-4 days for the plant to sort out what nutes it requires and prioritises going into flower. So Red isnt needed just yet.

Plus that's how I was shown by the lads back home. They throw in a MH the last week too but I dont have the space, or justification for it myself.

I like em a bit more lush looking to be honest. Gave em a water only feed today and neemed em before lights off.

The cuts are in a diff tent with CFL. Bitches need to hurry the fuck up so I can take multi cuts.

yeah i know they arent as good as a carbon filter

Problem im having is that my filter died so gary sent me another an now that isnt covering the smell 100% either, so to get me thru til harvest when i can afford to replace fan n filter etc would putting an ona block or 2 in the growroom help? Filter is prob only allowing 5-10% smell out so could be worse lol
Get a plastic Y splitter and pull through both filters.

Well the plants i ran at the time were unknown quality as had never ran them before so just whacked em into 12/12 FS in the previous incarnation of that soil i posted up (now called grosure, used to be westland 4 month feed month general compost with added john innes or similar) and ONLY used the £1 tomato food from when they were seedlings all the way to harvestView attachment 3006744View attachment 3006746View attachment 3006747View attachment 3006749View attachment 3006748
What's that one mate? seems to have very identifiable characteristic from a whole number of strains. Not bad for 12/12!
