Nah you'd probably only need one,just that tent is quite large for 4 plants...it's why I don't do hydro,too much space and effort required for little to no gain.

It's just with soil mistakes are easier to correct,like one pump not switched on in hydro will kill your plants in hours,one bad feeding will burn your plants to shit...even after a few years now in soil I still have no inclination to change,maybe if I was doing 100+ plants cos it'd be easier than watering manually,by that's the only reason.

Just try soil first,at least you won't have to invest in a "system" aswell.

them oxypots are decent i seen a plant grew in one ther other week it was a mates but he only done 1 plant but it was a massive plant and was only 6 weeks flowering.
i reckon 4 of them in a tent you will get 8 to 16 ounces no problem

Bet I could grow the same in soil without daily pH,TDS,etc checks and mega effort tho. Small scale hydro is more showing off than anything tbh.

ive never done one myself it was a mates grow but i can vouch for the results allbeit only one plant under a 600 light if you went for 4 of them oxys if you dont kill them id say your guareenteed 8 to 16 out of a 1.2 tent which isnt bad for anybody i dont buy weed thank god i actually feel sorry for people who do especially when i see them 25 bags :(

Anything from 6.2-6.8 is what I'd shoot for...but I don't pH for soil,ever. I just go easy on the nutes,use tapwater and my All-Mix does the rest.

Have you ever tried the canna terra professional plus stuff...? What do you think of the all-mix? Would it be too hot for seedlings?

I think a premix would be better than compost from the garden centre as it's specially made for the job.. Must beworth the money..

I aint tried the Canna stuff purely cos All Mix has been doing the job well for like 2-3 years for me, will probably give it a shot next time tho if my usual shop has it.

I always plant straight seeds straight into 10L Airpots of AllMix and Iv never gotten a burn...plus its full of micro-nutes too and buffered to 6.5-6.7 I think.
 
Hey folks,

looking to grow an outdoor plant, i'm guessing it's too late in the year? Isn't it?

I was thinking about lowryder as from what i've read it's small, discrete and low maintenance - suitable for beginners. It will have to be a guerrilla job.

Not too pushed on things like maximum yield, as long i can just grow one semi-successfully and get some smoke off it. Something i've always wanted to do.

I've read over the last 20 or so pages of this thread and most of the info is beyond my comprehension, so i want it as simple as possible.

Any thoughts, tips or suggestions greatly appreciated.
 
Plant it a compost heap and hope for good weather! Its never too late, till its too late!
Well the kids are back in school so the weather is sure to be better than the last 2 months.

At least, that's always how it went when i was back in school. ;-)

What's the best website for seeds?

very late for outdoors,maybe grab a little greenhouse , like the argos ones. Would just get the cheapest auto of sweet seeds on attitude or some lowryders/cross. Goodluck any way



very cool comparison shot Harrekin
