also don’t expect a massive harvest using the U.K. weather as your source of light lol.

That’s why most of us choose to setup a system in our homes in tents etc.

It’s doubtful he will be able to tell you a schedule as he grows indoors under artificial lighting.

keep your hopes up but don’t be disappointed when you don’t harvest a massive amount.

hello neighbor haha! yeah i would love to get some more information off him because i want to know if the organic or regular Tomorite is best and when to start feeding and how much ect. I bought the 4 week/6 month soil.

 

[Growingitalone]

what do you think about Tomorite?

You can use tomorite, I have been told to use it from a grower in my area if nothing else was available. I did the first couple of feeds at half strength.I used it as I didn't have the coin for the canna terra stuff at the time this was on a photoperiod though not auto, it was only used for the first couple of weeks. I probably could of waited it out and let the plant take the feed already in the soil. If I was you I would wait till you have the cash and get some proper nutes from a hydro shop as that plant doesn't look hungry yet.

That's alright I did realize that it wouldn't yield a lot, its just for myself to enjoy anyway.

Thank you, I just didn't want to leave it too late or anything i do have biobizz in mind.

Also what is the signs of a hungry plant?

TAMORITE is perfectly fine.

what do you think is the difference between TAMORITE and Canna?

ultimately they both end up using the same raw salts just generally in different formulations for their chosen purpose.

I think @XXMillieBXx probably wants accessible nutrients from Home Bargains or B&Q etc.

Yellowing or a general lightening of the plant. Best to study before sowing

Hungry plant is easy to spot.

The lowest leaves (for you right now is those 2 round looking ones called cotyledons) begin to go pale and yellow.

If you don’t feed correctly the yellowing will progress to the next leaves you and then up and up etc.

Brilliant, thank you so much.

I couldn't tell you the difference as I'm knew to this myself. The reason I went with canna was because that's the soil I have I never said it wasn't fine to use though but I'd personally wait thats just me though

Do you also have an indoor setup? @XXMillieBXx
Is just seeing what happens for a cheap grow I think.

i use Dutch pro base nutes myself with a few added cheaper extras but if I had started with a cheaper alternative I probably would have stayed with it.

The biggest thing to remember is that nutrients are as good or bad as the user.

price ultimately has very little to do with how good or bad they nutrients are.

My setup is in the shed, I went with what I had the coin for that's why I grabbed the tomorite. Once I had the cash I went with the canna terra as that's the soil I'm using. My grow is just a big throw together of materials, cheap as chips as they say,no tent just some old under floor heating sheets cut to fit the walls a 600w hps and a few gifted clones. I'm new to this myself as I previously said so nute prices and differences have no meaning to me.I use what I have got the cash for at the time

Mine is a walk in closet. Lol.

2 different grows in the pics.

Pic 1 is one single plant

Pic 2 is 2 plants.

 

[Growingitalone]

That's mine first time grower though so not expecting a great yield. Just something for me to occupy myself with and not have to fork out for it as prices where I'm at are pretty ridiculous.

Shall i just start feeding when the plant starts to go yellow then or is there a time i should start introducing nutes before that happens?

I would add a quarter or half measure before they start yellowing, maybe once they've been in the soil a couple of weeks. Also be careful of overwatering as I did this to when I first started out,now I got the watering schedule sorted ( I think) once every three days.

yeah I only water when soil has dried on top and a little deep, which is also like every 3-4 days. she has been in the soil for about 20 days?

Personally I wouldn’t worry just yet.

you’ll see those cotyledons begin to yellow.

but ultimately you could have copious amounts of feed in that gro sure.

Does it have the little pellets in the soil? I think they’re yellow or off white in colour?

I did notice a little bead looking thing once which i am guessing that's what it was, it was that colour. Im very new to planting anything to be honest, this is the first plant i have grown in my life haha.

 

[meangreengrowinmachine]

Not to high jack but I have a ton of banana peels that I have dehydrated, and crushed... can I use them as a sort of top dress once I enter flower?
