John Innes no 2. Builders sand (5mm) and vemiculite/perlite. I mixed that in a 3:1:2 ratio i believe and for my first grow, they did just beautifully. The recipe came from a long established grower and it worked out pretty well :) Until i found coco :D

Del's the man, and he knows that! Coco truly is fantastic stuff even from the very short amount of time i was using it, kicks the living shite out of soil.

I'm busy getting drunk as a motherfucker, had an hour long row with the boss, and by row i mean calling her a fucking cow and such, but yes, angry angry angry drin drink drink, the mans way of daeling with things. So much for me feeeling positive about signing new contracts, erious doubts :lol: unemployment ftw!

Wow, this thread is huge. Doubtless many UK newbies have asked where to buy bits and bobs locally that seem abundant in the states, i.e. ph testers, moisture readers, plug in light fittings. But without havijg to trawl though 1,400 pages is it ok to ask? I had several unsucessful trips to tesco, homebase and even robert dyas to find the tools i need. Any recommendations would be most welcome.

Im considering building an array of cfl lights about 4 65w self ballasted 2700 & 6500k. But unfortunately ive been unable to find the fancy wire only plug in lamp fittings our lucky American friends have access to. I considered buying a few cheapo study lamps from Argos and guttin out the wiring but they have a warning label stating that they can only take up to 40w max. So if anyone knows where I can find some lamp wires in the uk please let me know, double headed ones would be ideal. I'm also looking for those silver coloured bowl shaped cfl reflectors ive seen people using during my research.

Many thanks in advance :)

they may be forced to by the EU, especially the court of human rights, combine that with a huge budget deficit and police forces/CPS?probation/prison service spending million arresting and detaining ppl for ridiculously small amounts of anything, alongside notable public figures and heads of various organisations(MI5/MI6 probation service, NHS, medical association, police/ambulance etc ) coming out public and saying this isnt working and you have got a perfect recipe for it being legal within a few years.
Now wouldn't that be nice!

lol quickdry tastes like hay out the oven but definitely can put you on your arse.

I always forget when I'm smoking my lemon that afterwards I always think Im not that stoned and then about 20 minutes later I realise I've been staring at the moon for ages haha. Really does knock the sense out of my head.
