I've never been a fan of pc gaming tbh. Xbox or ps3 all day long, more of an xbox man tho. That's why im not a fan of the psp either. Ic3 says the psp I have is an older generation one to what you've got

Cheers for the advice YMAN, I might pick some up if I decide to stick with coco but truth be told so far I prefer soil and will more than likely stick with bio-bizz as it's what I know.
I just ordered a bottle of guanokalong 2-2-0.5 to give a go and see if there's any difference, also already got a bottle of gh ripen and the bio-bizz products so should be fine with plenty of choice.

With regards to the ph question in soil I vary mine up and down a couple of points each watering

Well the only real difference is my black box is a damn site bigger than your black box, 2 player split screen is not an option (except for Ridge Racer Unbounded) and some FPS games won't let me use a pad (but not many).

I use an xbox 360 pad just like you, it's Microsoft and plugs straight in to the USB.

I would only really get a console to chip and for some (very limited) exclusives but it wouldn't get as much face time as the PC because it just doesn't compete.

Yh totally agree with you man. I must admit I never knew you can play a pc with an xbox controller. The reason im not really into pc gaming is solely cos of the keyboard. Now you've said that I may just give it a bash:)

Games are free as well, I've got more games than I know what to do with.

I very rarely finish one all the way through.

im gonna use this,well try anyway lol,i was gonna top twice and lolly pop,but if he could get 7.5 oz from a 28" plant then i should hopefully get 2oz from each give or take a little,meaning id reached my 6oz target and more,i hate popcorn buds anyway and dont like hash,thans for the link and advice it been so usefull :)
No worries mate a little training and keeping them healthy goes along way, you should smash your 6oz target with ease with bud to spare.

why do you prefer soil?,i have canna pro coco,(i think thats what its called lol ),i was gonna do a soil grow as ive done soil b4 but my m8 has grown loads b4 said coco was better and the weed tastes better??,the only thing that baffles me is when to start feeds coz there are no nutes in coco(i think),and with soil there obviously are nutes in soil to start your plants off.

IC3 have you got an external hard drive I can borrow for a couple of days?

I've not got tinternet on that mobo yet so I've been downloading games on the laptop.....

'Hitman' is 14gb and 'Black Ops 2' is 15gb, fucked if I can transfer em from lappy to big rig.

I'm just seeing if compressing NFS with 7zip will shave 0.5gb off so that it will fit on a disk to transfer.

Honestly mate it's just because that's what I know and feel comfortable with, if things don't look 100% in soil I find it easy to sort but with coco I find myself second guessing my decisions alot even though there's nothing to worry about and in soil with the bio-bizz range it really couldn't be easier, I find that it's the otherway around with flavour I haven't had anything grown in coco that compares to soil and organics, I ran a side by side a couple of years back 2x600w hps coco under one light and soil under the other, the only differences were the coco gave me a few grams more but the soil produced better taste.
With when to feed I started straight away at a couple of mil of A n B per 5ltrs and they seemed happy with it but I have to be honest I think everything I have grown in soil just looks that little bit happier and it's so easy, water a couple of times a week and leave them to it.
personal preference I reckon mate as everybody you ask will have a different opinion on what's easier for them I just love soil both bio-bizz all ix and plagron light mix both have given me great yields and top quality product for minimal efforts.

I'm the type of person that MUST play a game until I complete it. I do get frustrated with myself because of it lol
If a game is good enough for me to sit through it I'll get round to finishing it regardless how log it takes, the last time I finished a game was 'Arkham City'.

My collection of originals speaks volumes (and a few of those are copy's).....

.......I haven't paid for a game in fucking ages!

it seems every piece of advice i got from my knowitall friend was wrong lol,i wanted to grow in soil he said coco,so i listened coz hes grown loads,i was gonna use my massive loft,he said no coz of heatsource etc so again i listened and even the lighting i was gonna buy cooltube but he said parabolic was better coz it spreads the light better,i cant wait till i see him next lol :)

Every grow project should be set up subjective to that environment, parabolic's for example wouldn't be a wise choice when working in a tent as apposed to large bare rooms.

He's probably just telling you that because he believes it mate, the problem is that what works for one person won't necessarily work for the other, I stand by my statement that soil will taste better than coco in a side by side but he may have grew in soil with something he didn't like the taste of then went coco with another strain that he prefered and made his decision based on that, everybody has different opinions and sometimes you have to weigh up the options and just decide to go with what you think is best for you and your situation, YMAN nails it above when he said each grow should be planned accordingly and not just copied from the next guy.
Don't worry though mate you will be fine and luckily it's not the summer so that parabolic shouldn't cause you too many headaches if any if it were the summer though I would be saying otherwise, I use power plant air cooled hoods and love them but started out with a euro wing and upgraded as I went, you will be doing the same soon enough mate and making your own decisions like the majority of us here do just got to get a little trial and error in first, eitherway though mate don't worry you'll be fine and it only gets easier as you go along, also you have all of us here for help if you need it.

Thing is dude from what I can gather everyone has their own way of dealing with growing. You will ask someone one thing and then get told the "definitive" answer by some other cat. I'm sure you will still get on fine with your parabolic reflector :) As far as what your growing in you either you want to go the soil route or hydro. It isn't iron law but soil = less bud but a nicer taste etc and hydro if you want a bigger yield. Take your pick man! People told me not to grow hydro for my first grow because I would fuck it up. How wrong they were.

umm il have to take a look, i may have a 500 u can borrow its in pc but i got a caddy, but il need it bak,

use kjb archiver for compression much better get 1gb down to like 10mb or sum shit, or use rar and select multi part
