Happy weekend brother, have a super one!

Nice garden shots by the way,,,is it me or are your buds chunkier than usual this round? New supplement in the mix??

My daughter just left, yesterday was her birthday and today I made up a real nice lunch just for the two of us. Daddy's little girl is 19. Sad.

Hey hey Donnie Boy! I'm late to the party... it's been a grueling couple last days. TGIF? I think so...

Can I just say, your jungle, I mean, TENT, looks fuking insane! I know you were all para this round about nutes and the whatnot, but dude, keep on doing what you're doing. All I'm seein' is big green nubs everywhere. Can I come over and roll in it? lmfao Bravo

Have yourself a great weekend, too, if I don't talk to ya!

happy weekend to you too fella! this runs been a bit weird. i know everyone keeps saying your complaining over nothing but weird shit is going down. my livers and psycho are no where near the weight they should be yet the dogs look like they'll fill that missing quota no bother. i just hate knowing I'm missing out on pot ential. nothing new in the misx so far bro, but after this mini flush they'll be getting some new nutes from my buddy the UK Greek. he's been hitting up the different companies for testers and holy shit have they come through for him. like a full line setups of nutes etc.

oh to be 19 again.... actually i doubt my body or mind would take it a second time round.
Got it sorted mate finally, grow journal here - https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/464029-first-grow-ive-got-little.html
I know everyone in here are well seasoned growers so I'd really appreciate it if anyone gave it a look and maybe give me some opinions on the current setup and some advice on how I could improve.
nice one fella, i'll be over in a minute. never really introduced you to the crew. fellas and ladies, uk greek is a good friend of mine must have known each other 10 years + salt of the earth mofo

Howdy Don, If i've asked this ebfore, chances are i have but well, i'm a bit naff, but how many plants per reervoir do you have with your autopots and what size reservoirs? Just ordered a 4 pot system with a 47L tank and just trying to get an idea of what kind of maintenance i can be expecting :) tia

alreet TTT well you can pretty much do as you please i got 6mm line from the res to a 4 way splitter and a 6 way but i'm only using 4 on each one has a piece of tubing connecting the two to close it off. iv 2res's that size onne needs filling before the others as the two dog bushes are twice the size of the others.

the things aren't exactly without their issues. your deffo going to need to sort out your ventilation. all the way through mine have had a thin layer of mold on the top of the coco. it's unavoidable. its hot and wet constantly. lollipopping helps. don't put an airstone in the res its a pointless endeavor as the water sits in the line after for X amount of time.

when your res gets down to the last couple of inches i'd recommend just tipping out the salty build up in the bottom. change your pvc lines with every grow. costs a couple of quid but trying to clean the build up out of them is a pain.

unless you have a tap near id get a decent sized kitchen bin, measure 20L and mark the side. trying to carry 47.5 L's isn't fun.

thats about all the tips i can think of.

Try carring 30l up a fucking ladder and into a loft. Got a hose but it doesn't fit our taps. At least its excercise.lol

Not fun haha, I fill my 47l res just over half way, put it with my grow then top it up with a 5l container, takes a touch longer but I prefer it to having to carry and tip a large amount of water into my small space.

Interesting about the mould. I'll keep an eye open but well, my mind is a bit mushy today, but i don't quite see the reason for it's presence simply due to being wet and hot, maybe i'll cover the top with hydroton balls and it'll, i don't know, who knows :D. I've actually been thinking about going purely hydroton, seen some vids and it seems doable. I'll stay optimistic and say pah! :D cheers for those tips though, i'm the type to re-use parts till they function no more, been using the same airstones for must be 16 months now, barely emit a bubble but my DWC plants and they grow just fine :) I'll keep that in mind though, as you say airline is hardly gonna put me much out of pocket. Also good to know that an airstone is not needed, it's unbelievable how much noise my pumps and stones put out, just looking forward to a bit of quiet at night :D If the pots work well then i'm gonna buy another and cut it down to size for my breeding box, happy to go back to coco but i still want that 5-7 day period of ignorance that DWC offers between each top-up :)

nervoucs day today. hero/psycho/soon to be father and all round twitter gobshite joey barton makes his first appearance against us away to QPR. i think joey will take our midfield apart systematically having worked alongside them for so long. maybe the new frenchies will flummox him a bit. i still put a few quid on us like hahaah
I bet Don is in for a sweaty sleep tonight. lol
had a weekend off it. quiet one all round really. had some peeps round for a ruby murray on sat.

my pal brian says i usually get this thing on our locals menu its like a normal curry but with keema mince in the sauce. fuck me. like molten magma going in and out. was crippled all yesterday with it. read the menu and its in the homestyle section. i.e for Bombay expats with carbon fiber stomach lining.

haha man spurs did alright an away win at wolves this weekend. one of the two teams that let my accumulator down. wolves at home are a hard team to beat. mostly cos they take lumps out of your players but still.

someone has to like the london teams eh jig :lol:

well it appears we have the tail end of the hurricane the yanks had last week. i'm off to put half a dozen bricks in my tomato pots. and then to work maybe.

Tough choice. Depending on what you want from the smoke really. Psychokiller is probs my fave. Dog is absolutely corking high. Real day wrecker.
