Some say add calmag first. I add mine last and can't say its ever caused me grief.

I know it all sounds complicated just now mate but honestly, once the penny drops you'll see how easy it all is. Always best to stick to the lighter side of feeding and to try avoid the ppm rising at all. If it's rising then all rules about deficits go out the window. The first thing to get...

My rule for topping autos is day 17. If the 4th node is in by day 17 or before then I top it as soon as it starts forming. If it's not there then the plants not growing strongly enough to benefit from it. Also as someone pointed out above though, it's a practice best kept for large - XXL autos...

Divide the base nutes by 4 mate. You want those around 250ppm for a plant that size. Then because you're in ro add on 100ppm of calmag. That strength of calmag will do you for quite a while. Ph to 5.7 and let it drift up to 6.3-6.5 before you bring it back down. Should take about 5 days to...

Huh, always thought there'd be more maths involved than that lol. Thanks bud. Gonna work mine out when I get home.

Hmm...I'd say soils easier "if" you get it right. Trying to perfectly pre-pack a pot to provide for months at a time take a lot of skill though. Trying to water it properly takes a fair bit aswell going by the thousands of posts you see on these forums about how to do it lol. There's a lot more...

You can flower in any media straight from seed mate. In terms of yield though, hydro wins by a mile. Takes 7 weeks veg to get a 1-1.5lb plant from my experience. Can even get autos that size quite easily in a reservoir. If your an absolutely awesome grower it can be done just as quickly in soil...

Depends where you are mate. In UK it's about £30 a month to run a 600w hps during veg.

Yeah I'd just chillax then mate. Keep doing what you're doing and all will be well. The trick to dosing is to just follow the ppm. When it starts dropping go up like 100ppm and wait for it to drop again. If it's rising then add water till it stops. All there is to it in a nutshell :)

Oh and what you using to keep the res clean bud? Need to use hydroguard, h202, something to stop nasties growing.

Nutes aren't too high to be causing damage but yeah I'd go back down to like 250 plus the water. Less is best. If they go hungry they'll tell you buy yellowing. Might just be temperamental plants tjough mate. Other than the water level I can't think of anything else you've done wrong. Doesn't...

No weird smells or gunk in the res mate? Also what's your nute ppm? Probably too strong if your going by half the recommended. You'd be surprised how cheeky most nute companies are. Water should be starting an inch below the net pot. The bubbles keep it plenty wet. And just double check the...

Look mate your clearly delusional regarding the subject so I'm not gonna bother. If it's not a sealed mask it doesn't protect you from the virus. End of. I wear one wherever I need to. Doesn't bother me and I know it helps a fair bit to prevent me from passing it to others if I get it. But...

Scotland's a surprisingly small place online,, ive bumped into 2 people I know on the forums so far lol

No, they’re doing it because it’s all they have due to their governments not providing them with appropriate SEALED respirators. better to have something that’s slightly helpful than nothing at all.

Yeah mate 17oz, would've been a lot more but had to leave my mate in charge from the day I took that pic and she wasn't as pretty by the end lol. I got 5oz more from the auto i posted above. Same strain, dutch passion ultimate.

Oops double post.

And seeing as we're allowed 3 goes here's another one I done with the same 2 x 600s. I love my mars blurples. They get a hard time for not being upto date with modern tech but here's some more proof that they can keep the pace with most others. This is a 7 week veg photo shortly after the flip...

Thanks mate, I was trying out the old stoner myth that you can turn your buds purple by cold shocking the reservoir... Turns out that ones true :)

Ooh yeah count me, I love me some mars hydro gear. I'm in Scotland and on my 5th year of growing. I'm still using the old mars 600s but do alright with them. Here's my best effort with 2 x 600s (2x240w) Not bad for an auto :)
