so xmass has come and gone!

yes darcys shop is very cool.. cheap too.. plus it has the best irish forum around. it hasnt got off its feet yet, but its almost there.

LoD ,,, have you grown using 400w before . what sort of yeild would a seasoned grower like yourself get. im growing cheap(unfortunatly) so i wonder wat the end product will be like..its budding out ritely..

And yes have you ever ordered soil online.. what was the p&p. was it dear for it all goes by weight.. and size. or volume.

I would say cannabis is a specialised plant, which requires specialised equipment, soa garden depo is only good for pots or spray bottles lol.. as they cater to household plants and greenery,. well what do i know, ive spent a total of 15 pound on pots so far.. and thats it excluding the electricity or light. i was going to buy some nutes but ima gonna just letter her grow with out.. aldo wis there anything i can add to supplement ph . as they are yellowing due to lack of ni, which apperantly is normal during final stages... am i mumbling or what.. just up and i got a stoneover.. hahaha..

peace

How'd Bud

I Never gotten Soil over the net and shipped too me. I usualy use that shop in the UK for my bulbs nuites etc. It just seems to be getting very expensive to ship stuff. Fk'd up my Savings.
Ive only used the 400 watt ballast for two previous crops. I actualy picked it up because i had been using my 600 ballast but its a bitch too use in summer time temps go threw the roof. Ill probly use it for flower my new seeds but ill be starting with my 400 or want too depending on the arrival off my new Bulb's...
The 400 Will safly do six plants in a metre square foot space and you can get an nice result. Any bigger off a floor space and you lose the benifit of the good light. I use the Metal Haldie for my seedlings from now on, it gives great plants in Veg time. ive read in Greg Greens book that it can help female too male ratios aldo i havnt used it enough too say. I have too say do one off the best crops i had was with a 250 Hps aldo the space was only 3 foot by 3, so trapping and using the lights very important. The 400 watt ballast is probly the best for a Hobby grower. Aldo im looking into the new 600 watt digital ballasts seem like the dogs Bollocks....Thatly be my new light. I dont want to build up a big collection do its a bit off a bastard because if i was busted id have three lights looks bad then plus the fkers would steal them and all that money goes down the drain....
Ah the Joys off growing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

If youre thinking of a light too buy the 400 is best for sure.....

Laters Bud

Peace Out D

the more light wasted the more money wasted. and time... well im growing with 400w and its ok its in a meter by 1 1/2 space. so alot of light being wasted.. also ive too many plants.. ive seven babes and about 8 tomato plants.my babes are diff sizes so as you can imagine keeping a even canopy is damn near impossible.. im goin to be putting very good quality pics for they lads to have a gaze at.. im busting for you and everyone elses opinion..i just havnt got the experience to judge them or give a estimate.... cuz they are deff almost finished. the are healthy to.. but i remembedr that looks can be decieving .. well soon se.

I should add if youve clones that metre i mention becomes far more productive but you need a mother room. More plants more work and time involved....So i use plants from seed so i dont use the space to the best i could but ive no space in my place too keep a couple of mother plants seprate from my flowering space ,,ah well we all have troubles,,lolol

Take it handy Bud..D

Ditch the tomatos mate, You need the space. I forgot u had a 400,,
Well a pic would be nice but dont stress.. If youve 8 plants you should be getting an Oz a plant anything above is cool dont expect too much. That way you wont be disapointed. Sure its all a learned curve....

Best of Luck Bud..D

yes troubles lol ive had my fair share.. but anything over an oz is perfect.

my toms are on the outskirts . theyer going into my green house next month..
Next time samll hydro 4 plant closet grow. continous cycle.. 4 in flower 4 under neath in a small veg space..ahh dreaMS also next time in going all out with nutes.. the best shit available. its been a good learning experience. Cheers

Sound LoD,, sound. . . . :smokin:

I reckon that a look around some of the e-bay stores would turn up some
decent results for bulbs and maybe even soil...
And cos its the stores that your buying from,, ya can rely on them,,
and ya also have feedback if owt goes wrong...

Here's the first search result i came across,, seems decent enough to me...
Just another option for ya brother,, happy hunting. . . . :rastasmoke:

Peace out. . . . :jointsmile:
