Cheers budsahoi, I'm down south. I came across a place called Get up and grow, shops in Dublin and Cork, any good? What are your thoughts on using biobizz light?

Thanks for the suggestion Roobarb but I've had good results with cfls in the past so Im happy to stick with them. Plus the initial setup costs are cheaper. For now, cheaper is my only option.

There is also Grow Nation in East cork. Carrigtohill to be exact.
I've always used allmix and light mix for my grows.
As Buds previously said. Light mix for early life and Allmix for flowering. All the nutes of biobizz are great.
Allmix will give you 3 to 4 weeks in flowering without having to add nutes where as with Light mix you can add food if you think the ladies can handle it.

Going to try 20. Hoping to get 15 at least.
Using 125 cfl for seedlings.
400w hps + cfl for veg.
And 600w hps + 400wt hps for flower.

Regarding my balls .... my wife doesn't complain :mrgreen:
Fuck the 400w get 2 600w...more efficient n fuck off with those miners I put 4 to 5 max under 1 600w so at best 12 index the 1200w

LMAO!! Happy wife, happy life - proper order too. :D

Sounds like a nice set up, I'm cfl only for the whole grow for space, money and just less hassle overall in terms of heat, ventilation, etc... Both my girls popped their cherries overnight so they're in biobizz light now. I feel like a noob again coz I haven't grown in about 5 years, and even then I only did 3 grows. Forgot everything.

After this I'm going to try scrogging to maximize yield vs space, have Plemon and Dippy Elsie from Breeders Boutique, as well as random freebies from Nirvana. Eventually I hope to get a proper tent set up so I can get a good few going, thus negating the need for a source. As is, my first source has retired and and my remaining source is leaving the country! :cuss: More power to them, but I'm hanging high and dry... again. :roll: Roll on Sept!

Re Grow Nation, I tried contacting them via email for a quote on all the essentials but I never got a reply so I had to buy elsewhere. Their loss....

Savage weekend alright. Went to a stone circle dated 1000 BC, baltimore castle, a tour of the LE Orla and the beach :bigjoint:

On a green note. I'm trying to pop my seeds using the paper towel method. No sign of any activity after 2 days. I thought they would of popped by now.

3 days would be the longest i ever went. What breeder?
I always sow straight into soil unless hydro.

5 are from TH Seeds.
15 from Dinafem I believe.
I took them out of the paper and dunked them in water for awhile to soften them up.
Hey Buds do you play World of Tanks ?

if they have not sprouted in 3 days ,,I take a pair of plastic tweezers and squeeze gentle as you can from the sides to pop the seed shell open just a wee bit ,,if they are gonna come up they will after that ,,if they take in moisture and can not get the shell to open they rot buy day 5 or so if they are in a warm moist environment,, ,,I use pete moss pellets and soak them in warm water,,once good and expanded ,,I squeeze the excess water out,,and set them on a heat pad most come up in the first 24-36,,if i have ones that won't come up I do the tweezers thing ,,,note embryo's can be damaged very easily as it is a baby in it's embryo state when you crack a seed be gentle,,it can be done with no harm but takes trail and error,,as each seed take different pressure to open ,,is a last resort I use ,,if they do not come up at that point you have lost nothing but I have had good results been able to sprout many that would not have other wise,,,best of luck
