Sorry if you've said before but what type/watt of light did you use?

[wardrobe grower 78]

a 250 watt MH/HPS compatible system £120 with metal halide bulb then i purchased a hps bulb for £20 to switch for flowering

[Asesino]

Cool thanks, did you have much of an increase in your electric bill? Sorry for all the questions but I'd love to grow in future and seeing your first time work out so well has given me some inspiration to do it

[wardrobe grower 78]

quarterly bill increased by £20,so yeah your talkin increase of £80 a year in my case

[Asesino]

Still that's not bad considering how much crap weed that would buy you off the street! Did you need to run a ballast with that or did it go straight in the mains?

wardrobe did you just tell the people in the hydro shop what you are growing as i took your advice the other day and found a local hydro shop who sell biobizz and they said just come down for a chat and that but dont know weather to tell them what it is am growing am going to see them on saterday

[Encatuse]

Dont come right out with it. There are ways to be discreet so he gets the general idea but you didnt exactly say it so there's no way to warrant a search.

[wardrobe grower 78]

you dont have to come right out with it you just say your after some soil and nutes for indoor growing,the folk at the grow shop arent daft they know wot your doin,they do it therselves!

ive been out and bought some biobizz the grow,bloom and top max with all mix soil wardrobe or anyone anychance you can tell me at what stages and how mutch i should be useing them and am staring with a 6 inch pot at what stages will i have to go bigger as this is my first attempt and whant to get it right thanks all help greatfull

stoner like i said earlier in the thread,personally i dont think we need the bio-grow as the all-mix soil has plenty nutes to last around the first 4-5 weeks so my second grow i aint fed them any bio-grow (for veg) and just started giving them half the recommended dose of bio-bloom 1 week into flowering and only doing so every 3 or 4 waterings,my advice is take it easy with the fert as i learned the hard way and over done it with ferts and had to flush all my plants which is a feckin nightmare when your having to shift all your plants from the grow space to the bathroom and your plants wont be happy with you doin so!
try not ferting at all when you are vegging your plants,if only veggin for 4-5 weeks you should be ok but if you start to see a loss of green colour in your plants give them a watering with 1/4-1/2 strength bio-grow and see how they respond.good bit of advice is not to panic when you see something looking not quite right as this is when you might try loads of things to help them get better but only ends up makin em worse,take it easy with the grow and dont PANIC
