hey guys, i topped the church and popped it into some sowing/cutting compost and a bio peat cup and watered it, hopefully see some roots soon and i'll have a clone. also got rid of the first growth of big fan leaves and the secondary growth seems to be coming on well. if i'm right there seems to be a lot of potential growth (colas?)
at the node points, but we'll see come flowering. both her and the big bud (a week or two behind in growth) are getting 18/6 from a 125w cfl in my wardrobe. no nutes, just water and light. few questions tho:

1. plants have attracted tiny flies, dunno exactly what they are, but they dont seem to be eating the plant. advice on how to rid?

2. should i got nutes? pros/cons for using them, and what kind are best?

thanks

Hello Fellow Irish Growers! I'm not Irish myself but I've lived in Ireland for several years now and love it! Well... my first grow will start quite soon... the planning phase is nearly over! I'm also new to posting here, though I've been busy reading for sometime now, trying to get myself some education you see. Hope you wouldn't mind me asking a quick question? Alright then: I'm getting myself a small hydro setup, and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good place to buy Nutes for Hydro. Thinking Botanicare or General Hydroponics. Looking around co.Dublin, Wicklow, or Kildare. Cheers!

Hi Richie. You mean head shops like Nirvana? I had no idea they sold nutes. Guess I'll have to check them out. Cheers for the tip! Anyone went to The Orchard (http://www.theorchard.ie/)? Place looks nice - real posh - not too sure what their DIY section includes.

Theres one just across the road from nirvana.

The orchard is in celbridge, they have a good allround garden section, they dolled it up big time in the last few years
