The first picture you posted looks like that Star dawg that's going around and it's full of PGR's and sprayed with spice and people on reddit are complaining it's giving them panic attacks and it is making them feel like they are dying

I use to smoke Street weed for years until I grew it myself. Was always getting mood swings, feeling heavy and shit the next day. Just wasnt myself.

Now 4 years into growing my own and I feel amazing! No heaviness, depression/mood swings. Just wake up feeling nice and refreshed.

I said to my bro that street weed is a drug and home grown is medicine
 
Moved into a new room from a tent ..... it's around 8 x 12 in size but it's concrete floor and brick walls no insulation and I'm finding it hard to heat to the point I've got my oil radiator on full whack and I'm just getting above 69 dropping to high 50s low 60s at night I've gone out and bought another heater today but won't get to the room until tomorrow ... it's really slowing the growth down on the plants hoping this second heater will bump up the heat and bring it Upto 80 at least ... anyone else experienced this while growing in a brick shed or garage thinking about buying some insulation boards and lining the walls for heat retention ?

Insulation makes a huge difference, that concrete floor is acting as a huge heat sink, it's constantly robbing the environment of heat.

I thought I'd looked for megacrop in the past but maybe not, is it readily available in the UK @bazoomer

I've used canna, bio nova and ionic in the past without issue, I think if hydrocrop is half decent it should work fine, obviously a improvement would be good, some nice lush glossy leafs would be super.

I've been searching for maxicrop dry power it's no surprise I couldn't find one part.

If you like megacrop it's here 1.36kg for £10 delivered.

Think I'm gna have to get some boards for the space b and q do polystyrene board will they have the same effect ? These sheets are 9mm thick so I could double up on the floor to make 18mm would that be thick enough ?

Have a look on eBay /gumtree mate for used kingspan insulation boards or used insulation boards you might get lucky, also used rubber floor tiles fingers crossed you can get a bargain . Good luck setting new space up mate

Do you use vpd charts?
I was thinking of following this does anyone even bother with vpd charts?

Wouldn't you need to be in complete control of the environment for it to work ? I don't run a controller that messes with fan speed and extraction according to temps and humidity without it it's hard to keep track of it and youve gta be pretty precise I think ?
