    Back after a break. COB or QB advice

    Thanks for that info, had a look over the custom build link you gave over the holidays which was great cheers. Also been a lot of back and forward, thinking I get it then realise I don't haha, guess catching up on 5 years progress over a few days was a big ask! I read through cobshopgrow's...

    Back after a break. COB or QB advice

    After some more scouring and reading a bit about umol/j seems hlg is the way to go. The mars and the spiderfarmer fixtures cost more or less the same and not 100% on whether they're trustworthy enough on their numbers or if the guarantee holds up should something malfunction. Remember there...

    https://hlg-uk-europe.com/horticulture-lighting-group-hlg-600-rspec-1000w-led Can something like this be DIY'd, would there be a notable saving?

    Back after a break. COB or QB advice

    Due to a change in circumstances my height went from 12 feet to about 6/7. I ran COBS a few years ago but life happened and had to pull it down just before I flipped. The whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth so sold all the fixtures I built and actually made a decent profit from selling the...

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    Yeah I remember looking into that at the time but it seemed a little too complex for me, with different compounds sharing elements or something like that. I plan to read through the thread again when I get the time. Hope you share your mix if you nail it!

    I remember @ttystikk recommending genesis mineral matrix a couple of years ago, is this still a good addition to the 3-2-1? Just back after a long break

    My budget 5X5 setup

    That looks sick, which bulbs are those and how are they powered? I had a look through your suppliers site but have a lot of reading before I know what I'm looking for

    Image isn’t working so here’s a link. Seed orientation. I find they all unearth, within reason, at the same time this way https://goo.gl/images/BsBEWp

    Germination Thread " Our Methods "

    24 hours in a glass of water with 4ml pl Rhizo, on a cheap heat mat. Seed planted with the pointed end pointing UP. These are either in jiffy or root riots, back on the heat mat.. 100% success, all in 2-3 days from the glass

    My budget 5X5 setup

    @Northwood Nice grow mate! Really inspiring. You mentioned buying different bulbs and finding more efficient ones as you progressed. If you were to start a fresh grow which bulbs would you buy and what sort of colour mix? Do these run from the main circuit that power your house lights or at the...

    Quantum Boards Across The Pond In The UK

    Absolutely mate, I'm following your grow closely on a couple of forums as I have 4 critical +2.0 and 2 black D.O.G under 1000w of cobs, just added 600w this weekend. The whole canopy was sitting about 18 inches below the lights (I haven't scrogged yet as I badly fkd the main stems on the BD so...

    Jacks (JR Peters) nutrients

    Add rhizotonic, cannazym and say silica at my preferred measurements to my nutrient mix. Also my micros, mineral matrix say. Then add a concentrated jacks 3-2-1 ratio to bring my ec up? Think that's it. What measurements of micros would you recommend? Hoping it's low at 30 a litre lol

    Sweet I can actually access mineral matrix here. Roughly how many ml per gallon, or litres preferably, would you recommend with jacks hydro? I think you mentioned a 3-2-1 ratio earlier (jacks, nitrates, Epsom). You then adjust your EC Where does the micro nutrients come in. Do you make your...
